We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

I’ve been on the record that this is one of the best things about the Craig films.
It’s also probably the hurdle of the next Bond run. Now that they’ve had a successful story arc, they need another one. Standalone films are dead, they think. Their franchise isn’t franchise-y enough, or something.

I don't really care about Bond movies but this whole "how are they going to bring him back?? we must respect the continuity of this storied franchise" stuff is bonkers because the Craig films were not in any kind of "continuity" with the ones that came before it
what are they even on about?

#14 The Time Warrior (1973-1974)

Great thread. Something that I’ve said before (but maybe not on this platform) is that the history of Doctor Who is the history of television, and this thread goes a long way to indirectly support such an assertion.
The death of multi-camera TV: a thread. I know most of you will know the technical parts of this (and may have read it in the other place) but bear with me. 1/ 🧵

Please, if I have shared AI stuff is because I didn't realise, so just let me know and will delete post/correct.
In fact, I appreciate anybody telling me! Sometimes it's very obvious but we can all be duped.

Stop sharing AI slop.
It's one thing if you don't know or just made a mistake. No need to breathe down someones neck b/c its harder to tell nowadays.
But if you do know (ESPECIALLY IF YOU DO KNOW) even if you're posting it to make fun of it or sharing it unironically... consider not doing that.
