People who like walkable cities should live in them.
People who prefer lower population density should live where they can have more space.
Both options are good and serve different purposes. Let people like what they like.
@NikkiRootAuthor Shockingly, I started the series exactly because I thought it was a popular mix, but looking at the bestseller lists, I don't see much.
@Android@Google "Wait, you'll accept an uploaded bank statement?"
"Yes."
"OK, cool."
*downloads bank statement*
*uploads bank statement*
"There!"
"..."

"Yeah, do you want to try again with an acceptable document?"
"Oh, it would be handy to have a very simple app on my @Android phone. I'll build it."
*one hour later*
"OK, now I'll go publish it."
@Google: "Give us a credit card. A phone number. And two forms of ID. And we'll get back to you."
*grumbles but does it*
Google: "Nope, too blurry. Try that again."
*Sends again*
Google: "It's expired. Try again in six days."
"Oh, I guess it did expire last month. Is your premise that my ID expiring means I'm magically no longer the person identified by it?"
"I SAID TRY AGAIN IN SIX DAYS!"
@dsawyer When the Soviet Union was collapsing a lot of studios let their sets be used for fire-sale prices. "Dark Angel: The Ascent" is another one that far outstrips its budget in terms of looks. "Mute Witness," which has a Bela Lugosi-style appearance from Alec Guiness is another.
To clear it up for some who seem confused: I’m not “fighting generative AI.” Go ahead and use it; it makes no difference to me and my own life and work. But I and other filmmakers will be over here going through the tunnel to the other side with human filmmaking. If you’re one of those filmmakers, we’re here for you at @_CREDO23_.
@dsawyer There's a Roger Corman movie, "The Haunted Palace," at the end of his "Poe cycle," where he decided to try his hand at HP Lovecraft. Well-acted, excellent atmosphere, and builds nicely to the climax when we finally see the eldritch horror. Eegah.
Coffee so black jokes about it connected by chain instead of a thread.
This is a collection of my best coffee so black jokes.
I actually went and trademarked the phrase "Coffee So Black", so make sure you give credit.
Share your favorites and have a laugh.
Sure, but you're overlooking all the baaaaad creatures. Or maybe your diet was solely the creme de la creme. I remember seeing a movie in 2007 as part of the After Dark Horror Fest and the setup was good, premise was adequate, acting was good and then the CGI monster showed up. (This is not an unusual thing for creature features. It's probably the norm.)
@dsawyer Agreed. It's why it's my favorite among the stories.
Most horror movies fall apart with the creature reveal, though. Might've been interesting to see what Guy Ritchie did, had he bothered.
