The Netflix algorithm is now throwing Jacob Elordi films at me… Not entirely sure I’m the target audience for ‘The Kissing Booth’

IT'S '6-7', COOPER. A GENERATION ALPHA TREND. WHAT THEY CALL A 'MAY-MAY'. IT'S AN ORPHANED SIGNIFIER, NO SIGNS ATTACHED. ONE COULD CALL IT DADAIST, BUT SOMME SAY IT'S TOO STUPID TO BE DADA. IT'S ANTI-MEANING, ANTI-HUMOUR, BUT DAMN IF THOSE KIDS DON'T FIND IT A CRACK-UP.

Interesting! I wonder how this 90 minute cut will compare structure wise to the 70s omnibus version (on the blu-rays)?
(Six parters usually work well as 90mins IMO. On the other hand, the only 60 minute 4 parter cut down I think works is Morbius)

I've spent the last 3 years animating episode 1 of the Daleks' Master Plan for its 60th anniversary today! Yes, we had a slight technical hitch when I realised I'd uploaded the wrong version of the file, but we're good now!
And you might want to keep watching to the very end..

It’s very hard to get any independent creative project made - Fio and Georgia’s determination to produce a second full season of their queer horror drama is admirable IMO. If you’re able to lend some support now, that can still help!
If anyone can today please can you share as there’s only 10 hours left.
Even if we don’t hit our goal we can use the final outcome to prove to potential sponsors the support we have for the show.
