These endless remakes have become fully out of hand.

I have purchased an absurdity. This overpriced stainless steel wok with a round interior (better for cooking), flat exterior (usable with standard cooktop), and difficult to photograph mirror finish.
Sadly the outer engraving (image 3) means it cannot be used as a saj cooker (image 4).

I think this started as a joke but then I became genuinely annoyed?
Sally of the Sawdust (1925) has a promising premise ruined by a clumsy execution, insulting ending, and being helmed by a complete dingus with no apparent interest in woman as full people.
Largely ditching the social satire of the original play (Poppy) is just deranged.

Pitch: Rashomonji - a young woman is pulled into a mysterious visual novel game after she acquires it from a spooky market place. In the game she plays out various versions of events from her past and must confront how selective and uncharitable to herself her memories and interpretations are.

In 2010 Let Li starred in Ocean Heaven, "real men are good fathers and kind to autistic people" the movie, saying he was drawn to the low budget production because he cried reading the script.
Meanwhile Jackie Chan laughs about having nothing to do with his lesbian daughter.

Is this cheese grater conscious? Many users feel they're talking to a real person. Scientists say it's time to consider whether they're onto something.

A once great studio should give me a million USD to make a film called Remake It Till You Rebreak It, a farce about a once great studio’s doomed efforts to remake their last viable IP no matter the artistic or ethical costs.

Having a lovely therapeutic walk in the heavy fog. Can barely see one block down the street and there is a steady light drizzle. An absolute delight.

I'm not saying French orthography is out of control but to import the English "OK" the following evolution occurred:
ok -> oké -> okéy -> okéyy
ok -> oké -> okéy -> okéyy

As for the stunning lifelike image quality: I believe these were taken with my trusty Sony Ericsson W800. The absolute peak of 2005 technology, it was liking having an iPod, a revolutionary mobile phone, and a breakthrough internet communications device ... all-in-one. 😱

While I am digging through old photos: looks at this ridiculous pocket notebook/"hipster PDA" I made by creating inserts for a passport wallet. c.2007

If you can mange it, I highly recommend falling in love with a Dutch communist, moving to Norway where you dedicate your every breath to her, while there discover the hardingfele which resparks your childhood love of the violin, and befriend a weirdo or two specialising in their craft.

Work has made available the shiny new … internal support AI chatbot. 😒
I asked it about submitting a ticket for a misbehaving device and it directed it to me to an app that no longer exists because we migrated to a new provider. Excellent. Truly, I stand basking in the golden light of THE FUTURE.

Getting an early start to the day by gazing pensively out my window at a ground that though bitterly cold each day remains, in defiance of all that is decent, utterly bereft of snow.

I completely missed that this month marks 6 years in the US, and if I have learned anything in that time it is that I have been deemed completely unworthy of human companionship. Failing to form a single friendship lasting more than a few months and even those connections being tenuous at best.

The Irishman? Just Scorsese yet again revisiting having Robert De Niro slowly be hollowed out as the quiet desperation of breaking the heart of a good woman, seemingly with knowledge that neither the film or audience offer any road to redemption, plays out in his eyes.
Snooze.
