Now that's how you do an inaugural, congrats Prof @markbould.bsky.social! Mark (just visible at the foot of the IMAX screen) talked about where his next book might go (climate, monsters) after his amazing ANTHROPOCENE UNCONSCIOUS. Great to see old friends, make new ones, revisit Bristol haunts.. 1/2

Such an absolute delight to be in Bristol today for @markbould.bsky.social's inaugural professorship lecture, once more reminded of the radical, community-focused, heartfelt and heart-full scholarship that infuses so much of the SF community and of which Mark is a blazing and dear symbol.

I just watched Gremlins 2 (1990) for the first time this century, and I laughed a lot: Daniel Clamp (John Glover) is a selfish, idiotic, rude businessman who - it's not a secret - was clearly inspired by Trump.
And one of his lines is basically like giving himself an award. That rings a bell. 😅

Our priority should not be to prove whether Farage is racist or not but to look at the nature and impact of his politics and discourse
This is all very well evidenced and not subject to plausible deniability

UK politics live – latest updates
Nigel Farage has denied saying anything racist “with malice” in his latest attempt to address allegations of abuse made by numerous of his contemporaries at school.
The Reform leader declined to call his accusers liars, but lost his cool as he turned his fire on the BBC for questioning him about alleged antisemitic comments. Continue reading...

Don't get distracted by things he's said when he was a kid.
He's saying those things now, while the leader of a political party. He said them ten years ago, when he was in UKIP.

Everyone’s talking about whether Farage was racist to schoolchildren as a boy when he was racist to schoolchildren THIS WEEK. All the kids who are of reading age can read what he says about them.

This is the police force that tasered *their own race relations officer* outside his home a few years ago because they mistook him for another Black guy, then cleared the cop of all wrongdoing before racially profiling him *again* a few months later.

Yes a lot of people prefer to stay at home than go to a cinema but that doesn't mean there ISN'T a market. People WANT to see these movies on the big screen
It's also yet another social aspect being killed forcing us all into our homes glued to devices for profit maximisation

thinking about all the time and care put into shooting One Battle After Another and Sinners in niche film formats, and the sheer beauty of the results on projected celluloid. A Netflix-owned Warner Bros will still release movies; I doubt it will release movies like that.

It’s hard to not see the Netflix/WB news as a sort of doomsday scenario. The constant mergers and large scale absorptions of brands might be good for business, in theory, but they are bad for art; they are bad for creators; they are bad for preservation. Which makes it bad for us.

You could find plenty of people on the US right babbling about this obviously Nazi stuff more than twenty years ago, in the King George II years. It’s just taken this long for it to become the position of the government.
