Sidharta Tata's "Ikatan Darah" blew me away this year, a grimy, nihilistic, incredibly violent action thriller that has some intense fight sequences puncuated by kinetic camerawork and brisk editing that highlights Uwais team's impeccable choreography, awesome film !🔪👊👀😮

For the second straight year, an album I heard in March blew me away, and ran away with this title. The Red Herring for 2024 ALBUM OF THE YEAR GOES TO… Boundaries’ “Death Is Little More” 💿Released: March 29 Top 3 tracks: 🎤Easily Erased 🎤Turning Hate Into Rage 🎤Darkness Shared I loved a LOT of records this year. I really did. But this record has finished as my album of the year by a wide margin. Boundaries is yet another band that I’ve seen grow over the years from a little Connecticut band, to now being on some MASSIVE tours. They are a band essentially built for me. Their breakthrough to me, was 2022’s “Burying Brightness.” That was their spring board that really helped them find their sound. And after they learned to walk, THIS album has them SPRINTING. This is one of the most aggressive records of the year, and it’s admirable but what I love most is the touches of melody they have now spread throughout the record. Songs like Easily Erased and Scars on a Soul are two that feel like they could have been standard boundaries song, but those small touches thrown in have made them into masterpieces. Blames Burden featuring Markus Vik from Invent Animate sees the band taking a somewhat new direction too, and really comes with a surprise left hook towards the end of this album, just when you thought you had it figured out. The classic Boundaries sound, combined with these new touches have made for an outstanding album worthy of being worn like a badge of honor by the members of this band.

The Red Herring

After a lot of thought, I’ve made the decision that I’m going to walk away from journalism. This is not a decision I’ve made lightly. It has been coming for some time, and it has been something I’ve been thinking about for months. However, a number of things in recent times have significantly contributed to me reaching this point. I spoke briefly about some of this with these two lovely young lads on the podcast below. We didn’t have a huge amount of time to speak about everything, so I’ve added a little more context here following the recording. I want to start with the situation surrounding Jason Arday. It genuinely left me in a whirlwind of emotions. I was incredibly upset and, honestly, it made me cry. I was left feeling shocked and confused by what had happened. At the same time, I have to admit that I knew something like this was coming. I really did. I’ve written before about my experiences with the media, and about the effect that being targeted or misrepresented can have on you personally. For me, it has gone far beyond simply being upset by something I have read. It has affected me physically and mentally, and in the past it contributed to me self harming. I wrote a long piece about those experiences when discussing misinformation, which you can find at the top of my profile. So while this particular situation came as a shock to many people, I cannot honestly say that I was completely surprised. My experiences over the past year have made me increasingly aware of the direction in which parts of the media, and wider society, are heading. Then there is the situation involving me and Robert Jenrick, the people around him, his wider political circle on the right and his media circle, and the way I have been portrayed by them. In all honesty, I have found the way I have been portrayed deeply upsetting. It has not been an isolated incident or something that happened once. It has been consistent and, in my view, has often felt like an attempt to undermine the work I was doing by challenging and questioning people in positions of influence. The impact of that has been significant. To be completely honest, it has made me ill. What has also been difficult is seeing people accept a portrayal of me which, from my perspective, could not be further from the truth. And unfortunately, this is not something I have experienced only in relation to this particular situation. There have been numerous occasions where I have felt misrepresented by sections of the media. This particular situation has simply gained a significant amount of attention, which is why I have chosen to address it. There are many more reasons behind my decision to leave journalism. There is a lot more I could say, but I don’t want to sit here and list every single reason. Those two situations have, shall we say, been the cherry on top. The reality is that this decision has been developing for months. It has been on my mind since earlier this year, and I have gone backwards and forwards over whether walking away really is the right thing to do. But the wider culture surrounding the media has also made me question whether I want to be part of the industry at all. The media industry, in my experience, has become incredibly divisive. Sadly, I think that reflects wider society too. There is so much fighting, so much division and so much focus on scoring points against one another. I have received support from some people, and I will always be grateful to those who have stood by me and helped me. But, in my experience, that support has often been outweighed by indifference, division and people looking after their own interests. It can sometimes feel as though everyone is fighting everyone else, rather than trying to build each other up. It reminds me of politics itself: constant point scoring, competing interests and a desire to win rather than a desire to understand. 1/2

EVERYTHING ABOUT VAN DAMME'S LEGENDARY DINER SCENE IN "UNIVERSAL SOLDIER" That's absolutely right, this is 100% one of the most iconic and memorable moments in Jean-Claude Van Damme's entire movie career. The main reason we all love this diner scene is how it perfectly mixes a naturally hilarious situation with some seriously cool martial arts. Watching the film, you can't help but laugh at the super cute contrast in the super-soldier Luc Deveraux. Despite having a shredded six-pack and destructive strength, his mind is as innocent as a toddler's—he has zero clues about how money works and just focuses on stuffing his face to recharge his batteries. The way he gives those completely blank, robot-like answers when asked to pay, combined with the aggressive attitude of the guys around him, creates a total laugh-out-loud moment right before the real fight kicks off. On top of that, this scene is just incredibly satisfying to watch because it hits that sweet spot of seeing a "hidden master" teach some local bullies a lesson they won't forget. What makes the fight so awesome is that Jean-Claude Van Damme showcases real-deal, crisp martial arts moves along with his legendary trademark spinning kick without needing any clunky CGI. We, as the audience, get total goosebumps seeing a guy who looks completely harmless and just wants to enjoy his meal in peace suddenly "flip the switch" into an unstoppable fighting machine, effortlessly clearing out a rude crowd with absolute calmness and precision. It’s this beautiful balance between a hearty laugh and a visually stunning action performance that has secured this diner scene a special place in the hearts of nineties movie buffs. Most importantly, Jean-Claude Van Damme's innocent and childlike facial expression in this scene is truly the "golden key" that allowed the character Luc Deveraux to touch the hearts of millions of viewers. For an action star who was always typecast in the hyper-masculine, edgy, and cold image of nineties cinema, this brilliant performance was a surprising and delightful transformation. His innocent, naive gaze at the plate of food, the way he devoured it so purely, and his genuine confusion when surrounded and demanded money created a beautiful contrast with his muscular physique. It was this original innocence that softened the harshness of a violent film, transforming an emotionless fighting machine into a lovable, endearing character that evoked pure compassion from the audience. This remarkable touch of empathy helps fans realize that, behind a destructive super-soldier, there still exists an innocent human soul simply yearning to live, to eat, and to rediscover itself amidst a world full of schemes and complexities.

𝗗𝗵𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗵𝗮𝗿 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗮 𝗪𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗣𝗢𝗩 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝘄𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗿𝗲 (𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗮 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄) First of all, this is not your YRF spy universe thriller with extra CGI where ISI And RAW agents will dance together to save the world from Pak terrorists 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴: Dhar constructed Karachi of the 90s in 6-acre area in Thailand and it feels so real, raw and gritty... the houses feel lived in. The streets walked upon, and the air has a smell that you can sense (Or maybe it is the smell of the theatre). 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆: Fiction interspersed with Real events of Kandahar hijack, Parliament att@ck and 26/11 keeps you grounded, and you never lose the sight of why this is not just a regular gangster drama and actually a Spy thriller with Gangster backdrop. 𝗠𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗰 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗕𝗚𝗠: Highlight of the movie. It could have easily spoiled the movie, but Shashwat Sachdev is brilliant in mixing the right amount of retro songs, hip hops, raps beats and at times only bagpipes to keep you hooked to the screen. 𝗘𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴: Superlative. The film is 3 hours 34 min long, but the editing is so sharp that you never feel bored or have time to check your phone... every scene is important for the story, and nothing feels overdone or extra cooked. 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀: This is the strength of the writing to create character with rich backstory, ample amount of time to develop on screen and each character comes with a motive. Each character is either grey or black except the female lead who is shown as naive and kiddish due to her age which is also important for the story. 𝗖𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴: The casting of even minor character is top class and that says a lot about the whole cast that has some big names. 𝗖𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗵𝘆: The settings are so real, but it is the camera work that brings the alive on screen. The first shot of the movie where a plane is parked in the midst of mountains in Kandahar and Madhvan is standing alone outside smoking... waiting for the minister to arrive to rescue hostages... That scene is breathtaking and surreal. 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Raw, real and brutal and necessary for the world that Dhar has created. The choreography is impeccable... you feel every kick, every punch from the screen. The stunt team is brilliant. 𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Now you have all the ingredients and money, but you can still make a mess of it if the director is clueless (eg War2), but Dhar shows why he is one of the best when it comes to an action thriller like this. 𝗡𝗼𝘄 𝗜 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲... if Dhar can make a movie that looks this and that it is shot in real settings in just 280 Crore then why War 2 with a budget of 400 crore looks so artificial and lifeless. Same for Tiger 3 that had a budget of 300 Crore. Anyways... like I said this is not a review. 𝗕𝗮𝗮𝗸𝗶 𝗚𝗮𝗮𝗻𝗮 𝘀𝘂𝗻𝗼... 𝗺𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝗶. 2025's Jamal Kodu. #Dhurandhar #DhurandharReview #Movie

#JanaNayagan is a literal remake that could've been far better and not the deserving Farewell for the Tamil Cinema's Box Office Samrat! Thalapathy Vijay, who is now the CM of Tamil Nadu, was one of the biggest commercial stars Tamil cinema has ever witnessed after Superstar Rajinikanth, and the kind of farewell film he deserved should have hit much harder. Despite being around a 60% remake of Bhagavanth Kesari, the team has added political and sci-fi elements to differentiate both films. The political portions were decent, but the sci-fi elements in the final act felt completely out of place. The film constantly feels like it is changing its identity—from a father-daughter emotional drama to a political film and finally into a sci-fi action film. CM Vijay as Thalapathy Vetri Kondan, also known as "TVK," shines throughout and carries this mediocre film from H. Vinoth almost entirely on his shoulders. It was so good to see him back in action, especially during the interval and post-interval fight sequences. Thalapathy Kacheri was an absolute blast and a perfect celebration for his last dance on the big screen. Mamitha Baiju shines alongside Vijay as his daughter and delivers a memorable performance, especially in the climax. Pooja Hegde, Prakash Raj, Narain, and others didn't have much scope and felt like typical template characters. Bobby Deol, as the main antagonist, also suffers from the same issue. Musically, Anirudh delivered some banger songs, but the background score felt repetitive, especially with the reuse of themes like "Raavana Mavada" and "Oru Pere Varalaaru” but still elevates TVK’s screen presence whenever he gives entry. If this film was handled by someone like Lokesh or Atlee, who truly understand Vijay's legacy and stardom, it could've been the perfect farewell for the CM that he deserved. Criticism aside, this is the last time we are going to see our favourite entertainer VIJAY on the big screen. So let's celebrate him for one last time in cinemas. ❤️

Uranus2324 Movie and Character relationship analysis 🪐🤿 [Note:] I’ll be using the extended version in my analysis for a few reasons. I’ve seen some people say that version felt too “fanservice-y,” which is apparently why they changed it, but I don’t agree. The extended cut includes extra scenes with Lin and her dad that I think are important, plus a few others that actually made this (admittedly confusing at times) movie make a lot more sense to me. So if you find yourself thinking, “Wait, I didn’t see that when I watched it,” you’re probably watching the unextended version. Uranus2324 is a movie loved by many FB fans, but it also sits on that shelf of “I’ll watch it once and probably not again” for a lot of people. With this analysis, I hope you come away with a better understanding of the film. If you’ve seen it before and didn’t quite get it, I really invite you to rewatch it through this lens. This movie admittedly has some editing choices that make it confusing at times. But after sitting down and watching it about five times now, I think I’ve finally figured out which universe is which and who’s who. I’ll explain that part in the solo character breakdowns I’ll be doing at the start. I’ll also be focusing on Kath and Lin’s relationship, but not on intimacy, since the love scene(s?) were cut from the final version. And I’m sorry, but if it’s not in the extended version, I won’t be including it in the analysis. HOWEVER, there is a scene in the WWII universe that’s extremely intimate without a single word of dialogue, and that’s one I’ll be digging into later. I’ll then finally finish on why I think Uranus2324 is a happy/bittersweet ending to ME. #freenbecky #uranus2324 #srchafreen #Beckysangels

Pulling on this thread some more. Eli McGowan's career is in film making in all sorts of roles. He has made a number of short films as the director, including participating in the 48-hour film festival. His wife Emily has worked alongside him, writing many of the films. One that stood out to me as I looked through his filmography was "The Patriarch." Directed by Eli, written by Emily. This film depicts a Patriarchal Christian father that rules over his wife and daughter with an iron fist. He leads them through family worship, he berates them and belittles them. The film takes an even darker turn when the wife overhears the daughter being raped by her father in the other room and attempts to get into the room but is stopped by a locked door. You read that correctly, the father rapes his daughter as a part of his "patriarchal" rule. This pushes the mom and daughter to their breaking point in which they attempt to run away while the father pursues them with a gun, until the father is shot by the daughter but not killed. Cut to a scene where the police ask the mom and daughter how they feel about the father being acquitted. Cut again to the father calmly loading an AR-15 in his living room. And that's the end of the movie. No redemption, no justice, just a "patriarchal" father on the loose, ready to take revenge for the women daring to run away. Let's contextualize all this a bit more. Emily as we've already established is a homeschooler-turned-feminist who relishes in calling out men she deems "misogynists." Eli claims, in multiple places publicly, to be patriarchal. Film is a way to express yourself, to communicate a message to an audience in a creative way. As the writer and director you are the primary communicators of that message. What kind of message are you sending to the world with this film? The Patriarch paints Christian father rule in the home in possibly the worst light imaginable. With no justice served in the end, what is the viewer left with? Nihilism and a distorted view of Biblical Patriarchy. Is this the kind of message Christian filmmakers and writers should be communicating to the world? That patriarchy in its excesses will lead to rape, incest and murder, with no repercussions? This is establishing a pattern of disturbing behavior from both Eli and Emily. From defending a convicted sex offender, promoting fictional p0rn, and producing nihilistic films that portray conservative Christian men as demonic rapist murderers. It's no wonder Eli has spent his time hunting down Christian men online who he deems have crossed the arbitrary line of being "too right wing." Are these really people you trust to perpetrate this moral crusade? These are the stalwart "Christians" that are held up as members in good standing in the PCA? Why are the anons the only ones asking these questions? Where are the Christian leaders? Why did Reformed leaders partner with these people? Watch the clips I've provide from the film, and watch the whole film for yourself (it's only 5 min) and you decide if this is something normal conservative Christians would produce?

Sylvester Stallone on how Creed almost didn't happen: By 2006, Stallone thought he was finished with Rocky. He'd just wrapped Rocky Balboa, a film he had to fight to make in the first place. "It's tough when you say, hey, I got this great idea about a 60 year old boxer. It's really...3 this is the worst idea ever. But anyway, it got done." He continues: "I was very satisfied with the results. And that was 2006. And I thought, okay, this is my crowning accomplishment." Stallone describes waving goodbye to the audience, certain he was done with the character that had defined his career for three decades. Then eight years later, an unknown filmmaker came knocking with a pitch. "He goes, well, I'm an unknown filmmaker, I haven't made any movies yet. But I have this idea about bringing you back and this character, Apollo Creed. See, Apollo, you didn't know this, had an illegitimate son. So he's telling me the story and I go, very interesting." Stallone passed. The filmmaker (Ryan Coogler) went away and made Fruitvale Station with Michael B. Jordan, which swept awards at Cannes. Then he came back and pitched Stallone again. "He doesn't quit, does he? He's really a pesky guy, you know?" What eventually won Stallone over wasn't just Coogler's persistence: "In this movie, Rocky goes into a different kind of fight. He's not in the ring anymore. And he's dealing with life issues, which is much more realistic in some situations. And Michael, who plays Adonis, comes into his life, and they're from absolute opposite sides of the world, and slowly they begin to meld in kind of a family relationship." The result was a film Stallone's own daughters (who had spent years rolling their eyes at Rambo) finally approved of. "They went, finally, you've made a decent film."

This is the testimony of Child A from Andy Burnham so called Assurance Review into the gang rape of working class White girls in Oldham. She approached me after learning that she was going to feature as an appendix in Burnham's sham investigation. His expert investigators had decided there was any need to actually listen to the survivors of the Pakistani Rape Gangs or document their testimonies. Within hours of me first releasing this interview, Child A was visited by Greater Manchester Police. They warned her for daring speak out. There are over 100,000 girls like Child A across the country. Given the opportunity, Keir Starmer and his The Labour Party government would rather you did not hear their harrowing testimonies and all of this go away. I am here to help stop that. You won’t find me on any news channel in the UK nor featured in the legacy press. For some reason, they seem reluctant to interview me. My name is Raja Miah MBE. I am responsible for leading a six year campaign that blew the lid off how The Labour Party politicians were involved in protecting Pakistani Rape Gangs. Without your help, this fight will end, and they will win. I need your support. If you believe in what we’ve achieved together, please subscribe to my newsletter, Red Wall and the Rabble. It starts from just 75p a week. 👉 If you can’t commit to a subscription, please consider making a one-off contribution. 👉 👉 Please stand with me. I cannot do this without you. The National Inquiry will only be forced through by keeping the pressure up. We cannot stop fighting. Raja 🙏

“Daffy Duck in Hollywood” is a 1938 American animated comedy short film directed by Fred Avery. The cartoon was released on December 12, 1938. It is part of the Merrie Melodies series and the sixth cartoon to star Daffy Duck. The short is Avery's last Daffy Duck cartoon. PLOT At Wonder Studios, producer I.M. Stupendous quickly refuses Daffy Duck's request for an acting role, only for the phone to ring and reveal Daffy, who emerges to pinch his nose. Stupendous then “phones” director von Hamburger (a parody of Josef von Sternberg) in a face-to-face conversation and orders him to finish the romance film he's working on that day, which Daffy decides to disrupt. On the set, all the crew rushes to follow Hamburger's order for a close-up, who starts smoking a cigarette. Daffy then swipes and starts smoking the cigarette, spelling out Warner Bros. with the smoke. Hamburger asks how the sound is, and Daffy whistles into the microphone which gives a bad reaction to the crew member checking it. He orders the lights turned which Daffy has connected the emergency fire hose to, causing water to gush out of the lights and down on the set where the actors are, disrupting the filming process. Daffy then plants bullets in the camera. When the camera rolls on Hamburger's orders, it starts shooting bullets. Hamburger begins crying while stating “This isn't a gangster picture!”. Daffy sympathetically gives him a gift, promising to stop being screwy, and walks away. However, Daffy then pops up out of the gift box, bites Hamburger's nose and starts jumping around. As filming begins, a typical romantic scene between a rooster and hen plays out. When the inevitable kiss comes up, Daffy jumps in and kisses the hen; he is so excited that he does it again. Hamburger declares “It's ruined, cut!”. The time being noon, Hamburger asks for lunch: turkey with all the trimmings. However, Daffy is under the platter and bites Hamburger's nose again, then jumps away. Then, in the film room, Daffy begins clipping and pasting together random film clips into a collage film. Hamburger tells Stupendous that his film is finished, Stupendous quotes “Well it better be good” as Daffy swaps out the films. Hamburger shows the “film”. At first the title card reads “Gold Is Where You Find It” (a Western Technicolor film starring George Brent, Olivia de Havilland, and Claude Rains, directed by Michael Curtiz and released by Warner Bros. Pictures the same year, 1938), showing film clips of gold mining, but then suddenly plays humorous live action clips of random scenes with appropriate mismatched audio (a lion roaring in Central Park Zoo, a US military parade, square dancing, the World Championship Fight in Madison Round Garden, and a beauty contest). Despite Hamburger's obvious (and justified) fear, Stupendous approves highly of the film as he finds that Hamburger has fainted. As a result, Daffy is now the director, uttering the same line asking for turkey at lunchtime as Hamburger complete with Hamburger's accent and clothing. Hamburger retaliates by hiding under a platter, biting Daffy's nose, then jumping away as Daffy did earlier.

Coulthart: "I am...told by White House sources that President Trump has personally authorized [the shoot down of UFOs]." Knapp: "I take with a grain of salt the reports that the President has authorized the shoot down of UFOs. That doesn't make sense." (Regarding those reports (from Ross Coulthart), I said this on August 9th, after he said it.) Murgia: "A year ago, Ross told us he thought certain senators were read into the crash retrieval program and he'd start naming them. Still waiting. "Now this? 🤔 "Something seems off." This is what Ross said: Coulthart on 8/9/2026: "The Department of War has quite literally taken on the running of its own covert operation to intercept these mystery objects. And I'm told they have recently downed objects, craft, both in the U.S. and across the border near Juarez in Mexico. "I am also told by White House sources that President Trump has personally authorized this operation, which perhaps explains why no full admission has yet been made to the public about the full extent of what the government really knows. "There is a full-on effort underway by the administration to recover suspected non-human intelligence exotic technology in a program totally separate from the so-called Legacy program. This is an attempt by the President to circumvent the legacy program. "It's been run out of the White House by the President's most senior intelligence advisers. President Trump has tasked the Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to find out what these objects are and to capture them. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence - ODNI - is also involved. "Sources have told me that one of the directed-energy-weapon systems used at White Sands, in an attempt to shoot down these mystery craft, is what's called high pulse microwave. It shuts down an aircraft by emitting an intense burst of electromagnetic energy that travels at the speed of light, penetrates the aircraft and fries its electronic systems. "My sources tell me that the craft objects, UAPs, whatever you wanna call them, are being targeted over White Sands, and they definitely show anomalous properties conforming to the five observables that define UAPs." Regarding psionics and the alleged electronic dog whistle being used at Sierra Blanca, Ross added this... Coulthart: "Defense sources tell me that their observers were watching on during Skywatcher's Sierra Blanca operation, and they made a major discovery during Skywatcher's psionic summoning and dog-whistle operations during 2025, including in that last July 2025 test, I can't name my sources, but I'm very sure they're rock solid." ~From Today's Weaponized~ George Knapp: "I take with a grain of salt the reports that the President has authorized the shoot down of UFOs. That doesn't make sense. I don't get that sense from the conversations he had with Robert Bigelow back in February that that kind of order would ever be issued or would ever make sense to any country. "I am intrigued by the reports of luring operations, because as you and I know, there have been operations like that in years past that did produce pretty dramatic results, in terms of something following nuclear assets. But drawing them in and shooting them down, as some people have said, or bringing them down with the power of your mind, I take that with a grain of salt. "I do give credence to Rep. Eric Burlison - and you've been in closer contact with him than I - that says there is something to those reports. At least part of that, right?" Jeremy Kenyon Lockyer Corbell: "Yeah, I mean, look, people have deduced that December of 2025, that White Sands was the location. They kind of deduced that, that there was a massive incursion. There's two sets of documents, one by FBI, one by ODNI, that's in the tranche releases. And that is the same event, that's what people are talking about. "And they called it luring because it was described to me that they had set up all of the same situations that typically seemed to provoke a response from UAP, and would stimulate like, an incursion. And sure enough, it happened. Now, I have not heard, and I do not believe it was some psionic thing. I think that they were moving stuff. That's to the best of my knowledge, they were moving stuff around. This is what was said to me, and I read between the lines. "But at no point was there anything said to me for all the sources and everything that I've heard about it, about any psionic assets or any shoot downs or anything like that. I'd be highly surprised. I think what they did was, they started moving stuff around - that you and I know, notoriously, stimulates response." ~ (When I interviewed Lue Elizondo in March of 2022, we had this exchange...) Murgia: "Baiting and luring UFOs. You mentioned it on 𝗖𝗥𝗜𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗔 𝗚𝗢𝗠𝗘𝗭' show...how you successfully did that in AATIP. "Somebody I know, a source, said, 'The way we attract and coax UAP has to do with nuclear power; nuclear weapon sites; deployed weapons; weapons or nuclear fuel being moved around; weapons being manufactured; nuclear fuel being manufactured; and manufacturing sites...and that attracts them.' To me, that sounds like AI. It seems like it's reacting to something automatically." Lue: "Your friend seems to be very well informed." ~ Corbell: "You used to chase those armored nuclear vehicles in Las Vegas, and I got a call from one of the drivers who said, 'Oh, when George Knapp was going behind us and did that news report, it completely changed our protocols of what we had to do. It rewrote the manual.' "But you had heard about these trucks and about how moving them, these nukes, would sometimes create or stimulate a UAP response. This individual that called me to complain to me about you, affirmed that to me." Knapp: [Laughs] Corbell: "So, you know, it's like one of those things, man. So if that's what they were doing and they did get a response, I know a couple people in the political realm who have specifically asked to be invited to the next time that they set up those those protocols. Again, I'd heard nothing of psionics or anything like that. I think they were moving nuclear things, and I think that that's what stimulated the response. "It'd be amazing to see if they get a Round 2 on that, and again, get the same response that they can document it, film it. Think about all the footage, George, that we're not seeing from those two sets of documents about that White Sands - is what people think - incursion event. There was so much footage, so much footage taken from so many different military assets. We're seeing just the just the top of it, you know?"

This is my first and last time commenting on the Oliver Mtukudzi saga. I knew Tuku for decades, from his days at Radio and Tape Promotions in the early 1990s when I was in journalism school. He was a normal human being like all of us, a musical genius, but like all human beings, he had his flaws, nobody doesn’t. We all agree that he gave so much to this country’s well-being, and for that, he deserves our respect. All of us have made mistakes in our private lives that we wish we hadn’t made, nobody is perfect. Every documentary film I ever made had a Tuku soundtrack. He did that for me at no cost. The only documentary film I made without Oliver’s soundtrack was A Violent Response; the soundtrack was laid by his son, Sam. Again, Sam refused to take money from me. They were good people, but like all of us, Tuku had his flaws. I think enough has been said about this great musician’s private and family life. Let us respect him and now move on from his private life. I respectfully hope that his family can resolve their issues privately too and not make a spectacle of it, as it is tarnishing his memory. We all have family issues, but we resolve them away from the public gaze. There is so much that Tuku told me about people in politics, the music industry, and business, but it would be disrespectful to share that. I wish others would feel the same way and let the legend rest in peace. Nothing Tuku did can be undone, we can only learn from such lessons. Let the old man rest, please! His children and wife have a right to talk about their experiences with their father and husband, respectively, but let us help them heal by not fuelling the rift. They are hurting. What they need are voices that help them become a happy family, not voices of polarity. We can be compassionate without inciting them, there is nothing that has been said that he didn’t address in his music. Let us not find joy in sharing this family’s pain and misery. Let us pray for them to heal their painful rift and bridge the gap. I have decided to speak not only because I knew Tuku personally but because I also feel that part of my success as a journalist was because of him. He was in my first-ever documentary film, Pain in my Heart, talking about how HIV and AIDS affected him when his band members were dying, including his brother Robert. That film won the African Journalist of the Year Award in 2007. I took the trophy to Pakare Paye for him to see it, he was super happy for me. Ndapota hangu, chisiyayi Samanyanga vazorore murugare. Below are two performances I recorded of Tuku at his base at Pakare Paye a few months before he died, and of his son Sam Mtukudzi in 2007. Let us enjoy their music and not dwell on gossip that erodes their great work.

KITSUNE 🦊 💫 When I embarked on this project a month ago, I didn’t expect it to consume holidays, evenings, and far too many nights—but here we are. From the first scenes, I knew I had something special, and I don’t want audiences to watch an “AI film”—I just want them to watch a film, and hopefully, a good one at that. ( Sound On 🔈) 👇 KITSUNE is a tale of love between two souls separated by everything except their shared feelings of loneliness. I grew up in front of beautiful cartoons, from timeless treasures like those of Don Bluth, which I watched again and again to the point of damaging my VHS tapes, to early 90s anime, and later, of course, plenty of Studio Ghibli. And yes, before you ask—I know Hayao Miyazaki would disapprove of this film 100%, but then again… I’m not (only?) seeking approval. I’ve had goosebumps many times while reviewing the evolving states of this film, and I hope at least some of you will feel the same. Another famous director (Guillermo del Toro , I see you) recently said AI could create “semi-compelling screensavers,” and I see this as a step toward proving him wrong. Because you’ll ask: under the hood, there’s been tons of writing, re-writing, and switching directions mid-way. All shots were generated with Google’s text-to-video hashtag#VEO2. I faced countless challenges and hoops to bring my vision to life, finding ways to prompt and structure within the limitations of text-to-video despite VEO’s excellent prompt adherence. So, is VEO magic? No, not really—and the 1,700+ curated sequences on my hard drive (out of an estimated 5,000–7,000 total generations) are proof of that. What impressed me most was the global consistency, adherence, and how I could achieve tweaks by simply adjusting a few words. But what mattered most to me was creating something warm, nostalgic, and full of heart, avoiding the cold, clinical feel of so many films leveraging AI. Also, I’m a 40-year-old kid who grew up in front of the TV, has been creative his entire life, and has been designing professionally for nearly two decades. The more time passes, the more I know I can relate to what Nick Rubin said in that now-famous interview, where he mentions having no technical knowledge but trusting and building his own taste. If you like this film, this isn't just "Oh, AI is magic." You need to steer the damn ship. Then there’s MMAudio for sound effects, regular good old stock sound libraries, music on Udio for this version (yes, there’s a second version—more on that later), and tons and tons (and tons!) of editing, sound design, and small post-processing touches. Is this exposing risks for animators? Perhaps. Or it could also be their greatest companion, because once again, this is the worst it will ever be, yada yada yada.... No, it isn’t perfect, and if you look close enough, you’ll find defects and variations, but this is a film I’m proud of, not just an AI one... Enjoy. Wanna see a clean uncompressed version?
