  • @mekkaokereke Mekka, I know this is not the point of your post, BUT.

    Vince Gilligan, since Breaking Bad, has been making a series of podcasts in which he and various team members talk about the fun and difficulty of making the episode in question. Where did the ideas come from? What were the tough shots? Who were the interesting guest stars? Who on the team did what amazing technical feat to make the fantastical seem real?

    They are great podcast episodes.

  • @stefano Thanks, I really enjoyed the walk there. It's pretty secluded in the cold seasons and a good place to hang out in summer.

  • (Rare work post, you know what I do)

    Yes I'm a fan of the creative team that produces Pluribus. Yes, it's an Apple TV show. Because yes, Android users can get the Apple TV App on Google Play, subscribe to it, and watch the show.

    Yes I still ask the interview question "Do you like creative people?"

    The X-Files producers had a problem: Season 1 was a big hit, but where would they get ideas for another 24 episodes for season 2?

    A sci-fi nerd / Twilight zone fan from Virginia went to film school, saw season 1 of the X-Files, and thought it was the coolest show ever. He wrote a fan script for it.

    The X-Files producers saw his fan script, and said "This is really good!" So they hired him to be a writer for X-Files season two.

    He worked on the X-Files for 7 years.

    Then he had a weird idea for a disturbed show about a high school chemistry teacher that becomes a meth dealing drug kingpin.

    Great Movies and TV, are made by great Movie and TV makers. Creative people, working together, to produce something new.

    Human beings love stories. Some of us go so far as to say that human beings need stories.

    Sometimes I think that people forget that our role is to support creative people.

    I've never met Vince Gilligan. I don't know him personally. I don't know if he's a nice person.

    I only know his work.

    Or more accurately, the output of his work. The tiny bit that makes it through all the rough drafts and bad takes, and didn't get cut in editing, and that studios released.

    And I know that he didn't produce his shows by himself. He was part of a team, that is in turn part of an entire ecosystem of people and companies and organizations that support the production of creative work that we all enjoy.

    I like creative people, and the ecosystem that supports them.

    No Twilight Zone? No X-Files.

    No X-Files? No Breaking Bad.

    No Breaking Bad? No Pluribus.

    It's easy to see how the world would be missing something if those never happened.

    What's harder to see, is that there are other stories that didn't happen because we didn't support Black producers in 1959.

  • For Pluribus fans, the song from the most recent episode is "Esperanza" by "Hermanos Gutiérrez."

    You're welcome.

    This show is so well written and made. Levels.👍🏿

  • The weather was much better today than yesterday. No more grey in grey, no drizzle, even a bit of the sun peeking out.

    So, I've been down to the beach at the mouth of the river elbe, today again getting my head clear, taking some photos and cleaning it up a wee bit.

    I was (unfortunately) very succesful... Gathered a lot of washed up waste plastics. Wrappings and food boxes, a coke can but also some remnants of fishing nets. In the end it filled the whole bag I had with me.

    Now for some tea and christmas cookies... 🙂

  • @bianot Guarda, sarò sincera: io l'AI la uso (penso sia inevitabile) e pure io ultimamente la uso anche per trovare potenziali alternative al mio lavoro attuale.
    Non perché mi aspetti ✨ La Risposta ✨, ma perché magari mi dà quel mezzo spunto a cui da sola non sarei arrivata (o ci sarei arrivata dopo un po') e che mi fa fare quel passetto di pensiero in più.
    Come "aiutante" se ben usata è potenzialmente utile, con tutti i suoi limiti.
    Ma come aiutante, non per appaltarle 110% le proprie cose.

  • @FraEmme anche a me intristisce un sacco, e condivido anche quel pensiero memetico del tipo se neanche ti sei pres3 la briga di scrivere / disegnare ecc sta cosa perché dovrei prendermela io per darci un occhio?
