Yeah, I bet they are going to fry some birds with that thing.
I think they ripped the idea off SimCity 2000.

yeah.
god how much i wanted to see eraserhead as a youngster. after reading about it for years but it had no aussie video release ( until the 90s).
when i was 18 someone i knew had a dub of it on vhs which i traded for a bob marley video.
controversial view ( perhaps as it’s not his usual style) but i think Elephant Man is his best and then i have a real soft spot for Dune.

I saw Eraserhead at the Valhalla Cinema in Richmond VIC in the late 70's or early 80's on acid. Took me a long time to process that.
Elephant Man is a classic - John Hurt was incredible in that role.
Yeah I liked Dune as well - even though he disowned it. I think his masterpiece is actually Twin Peaks: The return (2017). It's an 18 hour movie to me. Stunning. So glad he went back to it. If you haven't seen it I highly recommend it. Streaming on Paramount I think ?

NEW MUSIC JANUARY 15, 2025 9:58 AM BY CHRIS DEVILLE
Marshall Allen has been around for a whole damn century. He was born in 1924. He fought in World War II. In 1958, Allen and his alto saxophone joined the cosmic jazz ensemble Sun Ra Arkestra, and in 1995, he took over as the band’s leader (following Sun Ra’s death in 1993 and John Gilmore’s death two years later). He’s been a vital force within music for decades upon decades, pushing the boundaries of jazz and genre itself. As a big indie rock guy, I particularly appreciate his ongoing creative partnership with Yo La Tengo. Maybe you like him for other reasons; he’s certainly given us plenty. Now, after all this time, he is finally releasing his debut solo album.
Last May, two days after his 100th birthday, Allen began recording in Philadelphia with his friend and Arkestra bandmate Knoel Scott on what became New Dawn. Some of the other players in the mix included Michael Ray and Cecil Brooks (trumpet), Jamaaladeen Tacuma (bass), Bruce Edwards (guitar), and George Gray (drums). Producer Jan Lankisch notes Scott’s crucial role: “Knoel’s energy became the driving force behind the project. He knew Marshall better than anyone, and his deep understanding of Marshall’s compositions guided the selection of material for the album.” Allen and Scott curated a list of Allen compositions that had never been recorded, hoping to showcase many sides of his work. The resulting record is coming on Valentine’s Day, preceded today by its fabulous title track.
On “New Dawn,” Allen’s sax is paired with vocals from Neneh Cherry, who settles right into the song’s slow New Orleans groove. It’s downcast yet hopeful, weathered yet majestic, and I absolutely love it. Watch the music video below, where you can also hear the recently released “African Sunset.”

Wow, nearly missed all the action.
Homeboundhound is quite articulate. Was impressed.
I’m always amazed at the intelligence in this community when the amassed mainstream media attempts to make judgements on us all.

What did you expect him to do ? Trump did the same.
I hadn't watched Sky After Dark AF for quite some time and tuned in last night out of boredom and caught the Sharrri Markson Comedy Show not realising that SKY has turned into the full Israel Love-In Platform.
