"The best pre-Matrix cyberpunk film other than Blade Runner and Robocop" is a very... specific piece of praise.

What other movies are in contention for that title?

People who are pushing 40 and remain active in youth organizations are maybe not always the best people.

Here's a rare(ish) promo version of 'D.O.C. and the Doctor' that was later edited into the 'Noisy Mix' (also the mix they used for the video) and 'somethingtobumpinyacar' for the 12":

Does anyone in #libraries have an example of a collection management policy that specifically excludes GenAI? I want to propose it to our board and they find examples convincing.

Not really about FREEDOM: I think Young’s much-maligned genre experiments in the early ‘80s are underrated. Neil has always done whatever he wants, and it seems like the narrative around e.g. TRANS is less about its relative quality and more about how it didn’t sell as well as the label wanted.

For me, after 'Free World' and 'Crime in the City,' the quality of FREEDOM drops off a bit (okay, okay, 'Wrecking Ball' is also nice).

I voted PLAYING WITH FIRE.
