Been looking forward to that for months. Going to the Garden Cinema for it. Staying away from any reviews or trailers but am thematically reminded of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Looker

Had this on a lot lately. Not long discovered it was originally a vinyl-only track at the time. Now available everywhere and on all versions of the anniversary re-issue.
The way the bpm changes is very mind bending. Reminds me of how I felt off my nut on dihydrocodeine from busting my hand, when listening to Philip Glass 🤤
Has also caused me to revisit the record and I’d forgotten how incredible it is. Also prompting me to rewatch Jam.

Only started Slow Horses a couple of weeks ago, after getting Apple free with my bank account (Barclays). Wonderfully balanced. Finished S3 last night. Can’t wait to tune into the new series. Wasn’t aware it was book-based so will look those up.
What else should I look into on Apple? I had it before on a free month or two with Apple products. I really liked Silo and the Idris Elba aeroplane thing. I believe there is a new series of Silo coming up.

Thanks for the recco. Will check that out. Think I’ve mentioned before somewhere on here, but this is very good.

Can anyone help me find a spare part for this?

In the freezer compartment, there is a glass shelf between the freezer drawers which just exploded into a billion pieces…

Spoiler alert 🚨 (not blatant but in the interest of fairness…)
Disappointed by Alien: Romulus. I’d hoped for more, given I was surprised that I thought Covenant was actually pretty good when I recently watched it on streaming during a late night dead end, having originally decided I’d given up after watching Prometheus when it came out. I think Romulus might even be worse, but I don’t want to rewatch Prometheus to find out.
This review, lifted from Wikipedia, sums up my feelings better than I can:
"The first 45 minutes are boring beyond description. [...] The script has the aliens waking up and falling asleep at the convenience of the screenwriters, not in a way that makes consistent sense. [...] The foundational mistake came when someone said, 'Hey, let's make another Alien movie.' News flash: The alien concept is dead. Leave it alone, and leave poor Ian Holm out of it."
The ‘falling asleep’ part especially - there was one part where they were facing off against a bunch of aliens in a corridor, then seemed to be able to easily run away into a lift with seemingly no aliens in pursuit.
There never seemed to be any real tension and it relied on one too many cheap jump scares. Acting was generally poor and the characters unlikeable and forgettable. The zero-g acid dodging was hilariously bad.

Has Chiesa played at all?
