  • I watched:

    • The Wild Robot. I was hoping for something along the lines of Wall-E, and was disappointed. The Wild Robot doesn’t have that kind of broad appeal. It’s aimed at children only, and it’s pretty shallow.
    • Heretic. Very good mood building and pacing. Good acting. I enjoyed it, but I didn’t quite feel like the last parts held together well. Pretty good movie though.
    • Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. A bit of light-weight fun. This kind of movie doesn’t demand the kind of precision that Heretic needs - which is good, because certainly don’t have it! But I think it did a decent job of being what it was trying to be; a good sequel to the first movie. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would based on what I’d read.

  • Is this because they used “he” instead of “they” in the build instructions? … They changed that and acknowledged the mistake. Surely that’s enough. It’s the fucking build instructions. I think we can probably find it in our hearts to forgive them.

    [edit] Just in case people think I’m joking. I’m not. As far as I’m aware, the critical incident that that has resulted in people calling Ladybird devs anti-trans is that they wrote ‘he’ instead of ‘they’ in the build instructions. That’s what caused the original outrage. And as far as I’m aware, there have been no other incidents. But please, if there is something of substance that I’m not aware of, post about it here.
