Sure go ahead and watch out for the payoff on that one

Also do keep Totoro at hand, you’re gonna need it.

I was an early adopter to Matecat but I stopped using it to be fair… what do you like so much about it? I’m using OmegaT and DeepL for MT atm

You obviously know your way around technology, but you should be worried about the amount of people who are not tech-savvy and can only rely on what they’re offered. This is especially crucial now since a lot of citizen rights can be exercises over the internet, and sometimes that’s the only way to actually exercise them (Italy has several internet-only public services). So we shouldn’t be talking to a community of tech experts, we should promote easier ways to leave the monopoly and proselytize the layman about them.

For the love of everything that’s good in Hollywood, it’s spelled CronenbErg. He’s the son of the other, more famous Cronenberg of The Fly, Existenz, Videodrome, etc. fame.

I feel like it’s important to point this out as Brandon’s aesthetic and themes are heavily lifted from his father’s work, although he is indeed exploring the relationship between technology and authority in a very interesting way.

I really enjoyed possessor for its style and themes although it wasn’t a very approachable movie for the larger audience. Infinity Pool was more approachable but I feel like it lacked focus.

Overall, I’m looking forward to what Brandon Cronenberg cooks up next!
