The Net turns 31 years old today. It premiered back in 1995. As such, I treated myself to a re-watch.

With how fast technology was moving in 1995, it's not surprising that it doesn't hold up in 2026. Still, It's a great look back.

"The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel."

"Neuromancer" will be ten episodes and is set to premiere on January 22, 2027 on Apple TV.

Hopefully this adaptation stays true to what William Gibson put on paper back in 1984.

With a Replicant uprising serving as the plot, Blade Runner 2099 will air on Amazon Prime Video. It premieres on November 25, 2026.

Amazon will be releasing all right episodes at once. Hopefully it'll be a binge worthy chapter in the Blade Runner universe.

🎞️ CINE 🎞️
Lo bueno de ver las películas a mi ritmo, es que me abstraigo de todo el ruido mediático de las redes y me centro en disfrutar con la mente abierta.
Visto el #Drácula de Luc Besson, y decir que ME HA ENCANTADO.
La comparación con la de Coppola es inevitable, y Besson (sabedor de su vigencia tres décadas después) no oculta su influencia en momentos puntuales, pero en vez de repetirla, opta por llevar la obra a su propio terreno, exacerbar el romanticismo y darle una visión mucho más “europea”.
Aquí las referencias son, sobre todo, los cuentos de hadas de su tierra natal, tanto en sus versiones literarias como en las filmadas: “Piel de asno”, “La bella y la bestia”, “El jorobado de Notre Dame” (tanto la original de Victor Hugo como, incluso, la versión Disney)… Pero también se permite acudir a obras foráneas como “El perfume” de Süskind y el cine fantástico-folclórico de la Europa del Este de los 60 (con el clásico de culto “Viy” de 1967 a la cabeza).
Si tiene sentido seguir adaptando la obra de Stoker tras cientos de versiones, es para aportar cosas nuevas, frescas, arriesgadas… y en eso nadie puede negar que Besson cumple con creces.
Sobra decir que el apartado visual es tan potente como cabría esperar, sin desmerecer tampoco al interpretativo.
9/10

This evening's viewing: a revisit to the reality-bending, visually stunning Paprika, by Satoshi Kon, his last feature film (we lost him far, far too early). A notable influence on Nolan's later Inception.

#QuestionOfTheDay what are two unrelated works that nobody would think of as going together that you think go together well?

For example to complement each other or because they explore the same themes but differently or because one seems like a response to the other even if people don't usually think of it that way, or because they are total opposites, any other reasons, could even be vibes, etc

Jack Grimes posted the following: Furious that Chris Nolan would disregard historical accuracy in adapting The Odyssey by making a "movie" with "cameras" instead of memorizing the entire story and then going on a nationwide tour to sing it to us while tripping on ergotized barley.

So disappointing. I admired what this director has done previously, and this 40 second “trailer” is almost unwatchable. Not a single character is there; there is no there there.

That's sounds fascinating. Very jealous.

I've been a fan of Anselm Kiefer's work since I saw an exhibit of his at the Philadelphia Museum of Art in 1987(?). One of the highlights of my time as an art student many years ago. Awe inspiring work to see up close and in-person.

I was also unaware of Wenders film about him. Thanks for posting! Enjoy the tour!
