So its xmas weekend, and here i sit with my dog watching the prisoner ( the real one, with PMG, not that insulting abomination that came later in the early 2000s ). Like i did last year.

is it a holiday show? Or is it just me?

And down goes X files

They are bringing it back, using the same director that killed Black

Given our current understanding of what the FBI is really like these days...

I can't imagine it being even worth thinking about watching.

Ooooh.  Ryan Coogler of Disney.  Is it going to continue featuring the same Gillian Anderson who recently wore a dress covered in vaginas to broadcast her pro-abortion views at a gala?  It's difficult to think of any good way for X Files to be rebooted with our current perception of the FBI.

I scanned teh interwebz for pundits talking about it.  The pro-reboot and anti-reboot people are both saying the same thing: that it's [ good | bad ] because in the current year, conspiracy theories have turned out to be [ true | "believed by people I don't like" ].

You know what I would have done instead?  A fresh retelling of the story where Smoking Man was the protagonist, where the story explains the things he knew and that he really was trying to protect everyone.  Sort of the same way Winnie Holzman's "Wicked" told L. Frank Baum's "The Wizard of Oz" from the witch's wide of the story.

So once again moving my media files around. ( due to a stupid limitation in nextcloud.. not one most people would care about, but of course im different so it bit me in the ass )

Noticed i had some x-files ripped. But just a couple. 

Sooo do i dig out my DVDs and rip them ( perhaps 4 years worth i cafe about )  or delete the few files and just use spinny disks?  Its not like i watch them often..

Rip everything, then upload it to i2p torrent trackers. Any other easy question?

You know what's REALLY weird?

There are still people out there who watch Saturday Night Live.

Even though it stopped being funny a quarter of a century ago.

So we all know Dr who has gone to hell since Capaldi left ( and started heading that way before he did, which is a shame, he could have been the greatest doctor..  )

There is a guy who does reviews. ( since most of us could not tolerate watching, he takes it for the team ).  He is entertaining to watch, especially when he brings out Professor Dinkles, which has been too long now..  This last episode review however i paid more attention, and somewhat regret it..  the show has got so bad i dont even have the words.

oops  This wont end soon.

 

"In a sign that the blackout of Disney channels on DirecTV isn’t close to being resolved, DirecTV has filed a complaint with the FCC alleging that Disney has failed to negotiate in good faith and that Disney has violated the FCC’s good faith mandates by predicating any licensing agreement on DirecTV’s waiving any legal claims against Disney.

Well, i know i;m not up on current TV ( or even recent.. ) but i guess they did a reboot of MacGyver with some kid as the show runner, and ya, i hear it sucked as bad as you might think. It had 5 freaking seasons..

Was talking to someone "which show" "uh, what do you mean.. " So had to go look it up.

You are so late, you are cute.

Half my library of bad movies came in double sided DVDs. This allows them to cram 4 bad movies in the room it takes a single disk. This makes t commercially viable to distribute 50-movies packs in a realistically sized package.

Oh, the DVDs they ship with Linux Magazine are also double sided, which is great. This allows to deliver a popular distribution (to entice sales) and a niche distribution with the same issue. Sempember issue comes with OpenSuse and Tails.

Yeah, and at least two magazines are awesome because they feed horses via an extremely simple mechanism.

Hehe 😁

Yeah, that was a thing ... during the last few years of physical media before everything went to streaming, it became common to manufacture discs with the DVD format of a movie on one side and the Blu-Ray format on the other side.  The title would be printed in the center hub area of the disc.

(looks around on the 'net a bit...)

Oh, so I guess you can still buy some new titles on disc today.  Interesting.

Ok, not exactly TV tho i think he does broadcast his radio show in visuals too. and its a 'show'..

Had to run to vet, left my music at home ( i brought the USB key in last night to get the directory dump for the post over in music... forgot .. doh )   so had radio on.  Was not really listening, but the 15 mins or so of his program i caught was 100% ad.. is that all he is now, scare people and sell product? ( sometimes the same. .scare people that the world is ending, and 'buy this prep food' )
