Welcome traveller to my humble/silly blog. “The light works, the gravity works, anything else we have to take our chances with.” He/Him Autistic Asexual. No real theme I have here, the things you are most likely gonna see around here are re-blogs of Doctor Who, Hello From The Hallowoods, The Magnus Archives, Dirk Gently, Comic stuff and other random stuff.
Feel like 2021 had some misfires with its Sci-Fi shows?
Wish series 13 of Doctor Who felt more cohesive?
Wonder what could have been if the last few episodes of Book Of Boba Fett hadn't been hijacked by The Mandalorian and Grogu and gave the titular character a rounded thematic arc?
Come join us on this newest episode, as Josh and Kyle tweak these mini-series with character and plot modifications, to hopefully find their true potential buried underneath!

what black mirror episode are we in now
Fun (sarcasm) fact: I have an old station wagon and where I live, there's a lot of film industry. My old car:
When they film things that are in the 80's or so, they hire folks to show up with their old cars.
You may have seen it in Stranger Things, for example:
Or the Haunting of hill house:
And a few others. But anyway, at one point, they were trying to get all us folks with old cars to come to the studio and they were going to give us like 500 bucks so the Special Effects department can scan our cars and make 3d models of them
We all said no.
We have also all agreed, even though we're just lowly extra's and not even SAG (Some of us are also IATSE, local 479 if you're curious), though, we've all agreed we're standing with SAG-AFTRA and refusing to work.
@neil-gaiman can speak better to the SAG-AFTRA stuff than me, but even us BG folks around here stand with the writers.

They actually proposed this. THIS is their endgame. to remove artists from art. they want AI scripts & actors."]

Gizmodo: Hollywood's 'Groundbreaking' AI Proposal for Actors Sounds Like a Nightmare
"In that groundbreaking AI proposal," Crabtree-Ireland said, referring to the AMPTP and as quoted by CNBC, "they propose that our background performers should be able to be scanned, get paid for one day's pay, and their company should own that scan their image, their likeness and should be able to use it for the rest of eternity in any project they want with no consent and no compensation."
ONE DAYS PAY.
Insider sources have told Collider that studios have already utilized technology that can replace background actors with digital avatars in upcoming movies including "Captain America: Brave New World" and Netflix's "The Residence."
According to the report, some actors allege that they weren't even given the option to opt out of being scanned, something that was contingent on their being hired
