    Itaian football maestro Gianluca Vialli.

    I remember him in his prime for Juve, a class act and a real handful to play against.  Managed Chelsea and Watford later on and was a scholar of the game and dapper gentleman pundit.

    58.  Cancer.

    Damn.

    Got around to watching Blade Runner 2049

    Did you like it, ultimately?  I'd say it's worth watching, especially if you also enjoyed the 82 OG.

    The effects these days are so good we just take them for granted.  It gives me more respect for the way they made the 82 version.  In 2049 they are seamless and it's impressive.  I've seen it a few times with different people and it's got better on each viewing, although I think I said at the time, Leto and the resistance both seem to want the same thing - replicants that want to live as equals and can reproduce.  I suspect Leto's version would be more Aryan than humanity would like.  I didn't like Leto first time around (because I don't like Leto full stop) but on repeated viewings, he and especially his henchwoman Luv were actually great as ruthless psychos and Joi was gorgeous and believable given what ChatGPT is already achieving.  It's a credit to Ana de Armas that you actually feel her pain and question what format the trait of humanity could actually manifest in.

    I was still left wondering how the bees are surviving with no plants, because they are struggling as it is.  There are a few questions I wanted answering regarding how the world got to be like this but the official 2049 prequels (which I didn't know about before I first saw it) are pretty good:

    Apparently it was traditionally done over this track:

    Cameo doing "She's Strange" with the rap and horn section at 3' 50".  So 80s, it's like a Terminator-themed nightclub party.

    Love the OG Specials, at that age it was exactly what I was looking for.

    Great write up here:
