The sets, the clothes, the makeup, the props - it’s all a little goofy and overdone. And I think this fits the film perfectly. Because it’s not taking itself too seriously. It’s a great Akschn Fuim and simply entertaining from start to finish in all its 80s glory. No shit!

In the last couple of weeks, I fixed some problems and improved a few things:

• A post you can expand can now also be collapsed again. You’ll see a little arrow/triangle/chevron on the top left side, which also functions as the collapse button.
• More feeds have avatars now. Some feeds don’t include them directly, so I started fetching website icons in these cases.
• Bookmarked and liked posts now have a little “disappear”-animation when you remove them via their respective overview pages.
• List-management buttons are now properly aligned again.
• Relative image/audio file/video file URLs are correctly resolved now in more places.

"Amid tight Israeli restrictions, new remote research is starting to make visible the scale of toxic fallout across the Gaza Strip."

In this edition: in a pickle; gut feeling; king of pain; life (or something like it); for those about to rock.

This was fantastic. It has a great crew with its space-movie typical in-fights and betrayal, stunning imagery, gripping action; and absolutely fucking golden space suits. I wish I could watch this in a cinema at some point again.
