He was also the guy who played the movie Diner in his head while he was on a date with Rachel.

Come back to when Claude starts doing things by itself without a human prompt and is able to also perpetuate itself without prompting either.

From my point of view, growing up is hard enough without being burdened with how bad it *could* be. General pointers: yes. "Here's specific horrible stuff in my past that I dealt with": not unless it's directly relevant, and only if it will help.

The other thing to say about Scream 7 is that it knows its an heirloom although the self awareness subtler than usual. Opening in a museum to the events of the first film which one of the visitors finds incredibly passe it sets up the viewers expectations of what's to come.

I'm not a parent so I don't have any experience of this either way so I'm genuinely interested in these questions.

Like Tatum, in a social media saturated world, they're going to find out something of what it's like, but that's not the same as first person experience. But unlike Tatum, presumably loads of kids don't want to hear about the parent's trauma or don't talk to their parents in that way.

I wonder about the extent to which this mirrors how much parent's tell their children about the shit they're going to be dealing with as they grow older. Do you lay it all out for them or do you hope it well be better for them and they won't need to know how bad it can be?

That's left her daughter in the position she was at the start of the first Scream, if not a bit worse because she thinks she knows what's about to hit and that she can brave it out but end up being almost totally unprepared (also because the film needs her to be for suspense purposes).

Sydney has purposefully shielded her daughter from the trauma of her life which means the daughter has had to consume it through the books, podcasts and films about the events of the five films her mother's lived through. Which leaves her unprepared when the cycle begins again.

Still thinking about this a few days later and how it cleverly subverts the slasher element so that it's almost beside the point. It's about the extent we shield or reveal the truth of our own trauma to our kids and the lens through which they'll find out about it anyway.

Saw this on Nebula last week and it’s an astonishing, eye opening piece of work. Well worth a couple of hours of your time.

Everything fictional is only a #bluepolicebox away from a #doctorwho episode.

This guy is selling Doctor Who fan fiction on Amazon both Paperback and Kindle without a licence for silly prices. The covers look like AI slop. The introduction is a loooong disclaimer: www.amazon.co.uk/stores/Matth...

Elitism is the patronising assumption that only viewers from a particular background would be interested in watching "the arts" when the past has shown that people will enjoy a range of material so long as you put it in front of them and on a regular basis.

One of the hopes after the pandemic was that the access which was presented during lockdown to arts and culture from many different streams would continue. Unfortunately we've largely returned to the status quo.

I ❤️ the BBC, but... - Illuminations John Wyver writes: Yesterday saw the publication of two important responses to the current (that is, until 11.59pm next Tuesday) public consultation on the DCMS green paper about the BBC Royal Charter...

Brilliant piece from @illuminations.bsky.social. The Ibsen section on the iPlayer is all well and good but if a similar collection were to made in twenty years, it wouldn't feature anything broadcast right now. www.illuminationsmedia.co.uk/i-%E2%9D%A4%...

It's fine and gains a star because its trying to do something more dramatic with it and speaks to how trauma perpetuates. Who the killer is being beside the point.
