It’s basically the same as old Karel Zeman films, he uses it for highly stylized look but here it is used for invisible VFX.

It is surprising that these effects didn’t change much, now they are aided by computers.

ENHANCE!!!

When I see how some of our politicians can run away from justice, it isn’t that weird.

But our justice system is truly independent from the political one.

If you really need/want to, use foreign coverage of it. Maybe BBC or other English world wide news will have something (DW, 24France).

You will get mostly unbiased info and it is usually more chill than the heated debates. I use this sometimes but for my country it doesn’t cover much news.

Year ago local restaurant was raided for dealing weed. Not exactly for selling it there the owner was just also running this restaurant.

Whole family was in it so newspaper run story “Even granny watered the plants”

My name isn’t Mr. Wednesday

For few years now I want to try eating pigeon so this answer might be useful for me.

Red dwarf learning drugs are real!

Because selective breading is technically a form of genetic engineering/modification. I think it’s fine and we do it for thousands of years.

Sorry the only one that I used is in Czech. If you want to look it up:

“Pivařka” ISBN 978-80-7565-108-2

It has more general information (little bit useless for homebrewing) but half of it are recipes.

Any recipie book for homebrewing.

It just gives you ideas what to do, you have to figure out/iron out the techniques. They are for each settup different so with any book/manual you have to tinker with it yourself.

The glimpse:

If you don’t know anything about Westworld - don’t read reviews…

The mindfuck from the first season is worth it when you go blind in to it. The soundtrack is making the vibe of it even more disturbing/disorienting.

TIL, thanks.

More general answer than you expected, but…

I really like when the sound design in movies makes sense - it “plays” in radio, gramophone…

For example “Black hole sun” cover in first episode of Westworld is just brilliant and caught me off guard (I didn’t know what it is about).

So penguins would be bad drivers.

It is one good thing that somehow survived 90’s chaos - public transport.

One year pass for all ČD trains cost about 900 €/year; most cities have year pass under 200€.

Or you could leave it on
