Oh yeah, I know - I just meant that someone might have (erroneously) changed it in the backend of whatever site that is. Was always a long shot though.

Ah well, that sucks. Sorry, hope you can find a way to read it again 👍

Is there any chance it’s showing as unavailable because they’ve renamed it to Mickey 17? I’m sure you’ve checked that, but just in case…

No, it’s not true.

How bizarre.

Oh weird. It definitely was there before, just as shown in the screenshot in the OP.

That looks fantastic. I’ve played and beaten the game on both the N64 and the Wii, but to enter that world again with it looking so good… very tempting 😁

I fully expect to start hearing about personalised scams, using AI to mimic the voice or even the image (via video call) of people’s loved ones, in order to get the mark to send money urgently. Old scam, new tools 😞

It’s very recently closed its doors, sadly, but you’d be hard pressed to find a more specific shop than long-time Edinburgh landmark, Borland’s:

Right, ta.

Saw the first two years ago, but never got round to watching the third one until a few weeks ago.

Batman Begins - I don’t really remember it too well. I think I thought it was ok.

Dark Knight - don’t remember too well hut I remember really enjoying it.

DKR - I thought it was ok, but some bits were just so dumb, and it was often quite confusing tbh. I had thought that the general view on it was that it was great, but reading the comments here, apparently that’s not the case!

I really enjoy Nolan’s work on the whole, but I’m not sure the Batman films were a good fit for him.

First one that comes to mind is Swastika Night by Katharine Burdekin (using the pseudonym Murray Constantine).

It’s a “What if the Nazis Won the War?” story, set 900 years in the future. However, it was written in 1937, two years before WW2 even started.

It’s kind of like 1984, and much of it is quite talky and philosophical, but there are also some bits that are really, really messed up. It’s excellent.

Oh yeah, don’t get me wrong, I love the Ewoks myself. Never really had a problem with them :-)

Alien³

Great choice. It’s my favourite album of theirs too.

Mandinka (Guinea) - Yeke Yeke by Mory Kante, either the Afro Acid mix or the Hardfloor remix

French - Here I Am (Rutabaga mix) - Lexicon Avenue

Spanish - Llorando - Rebeka del Rio. Spanish language cover of Roy Orbison’s ‘Crying’. Video includes minor spoiler for Mulholland Drive.

Greek - Efige Efige - Stelios Kazantzidis

Malawi (sorry, I don’t know exactly what language this is in - EDIT: possibly Chichewa) - A Bale Ndikuwuzeni - Gasper Nali

Songhai (Mali) - Soubour - Songhoy Blues

French (Burkina Faso) - Taximen - Amadou Balake

Predating all of them by some centuries, you could maybe check out work by Hildegard of Bingen. I don’t know enough to suggest any particular piece but I’ve heard one or two pieces and they’re beautiful.

Any number of MST3K movies - some of my favourites include Time Chasers, Pod People, Space Mutiny, Skydivers, Red Zone Cuba, Mitchell, Angels’ Revenge, Manos: The Hands of Fate, Horror of Party Beach, The Horrors of Spider Island, The Touch of Satan…

Non-MST3K - Miami Connection, Last Samurai, The Room, and a very recent discovery, an absolutely batshit crazy Spanish/Italian horror film, Tragic Ceremony.
