  • Fortress (Christopher Lambert, but more importantly Jeffrey Combs <3) - set in an evil corporate prison in the distant future of 2017. A dumb little dystopian science fiction thing with some fun ideas and people who wanted to make a decent movie. Interesting villain, interesting (for the time) female protag. Stuart Gordon rarely disappoints. Several naked penises on new arrival prisoners.

    Fortress 2 (Christopher Lambert, no Jeffrey Combs :(, no Stuart Gordon) - set on an evil corporate prison space station because why the fuck not. Dumb and generic and half-hearted and full of nonsense. Just fucking set it on an asteroid and half of the movie’s problems are solved. New prisoners are now apparently allowed undies.











  • I’ve used it once to suggest a specific term that I’m going to use in my comic. I was utterly incapable of formulating a conventional search query for a search engine so, after endlessly browsing various thesauri, in the end I resorted to asking perplexity ai. Still took a bit and I had to fight it to get it to understand what I was asking but I did eventually find a term that fits. Felt dirty afterwards. Does that count as “productive”?

    The only other thing was the title of a book I read 30 years ago and had only vague memory of. So I gave it an approximate description including a plot point I thought I remembered. The first result it gave me wasn’t it. But it claimed the plot involved the thing I remembered. I then asked again and the second result actually was the correct book - turns out I had almost completely misremembered the plot point but it still said “yep, this happens in this book”. Very weird experience.
