What if you made a train that had to eat people on the tracks in order to run?

Like, it worked out 1p a mile cheaper than electrification and so that's what Virgin went with, but now the train is an independent being that must feed?

It's a rhetorical question intended to highlight the absurdity of of his job rather than me actually asking why the conservative party do not appoint me personally to the useless job for their mates.

Also while they're doing spinoffs about every possible thing in the Alien franchise, we're long overdue a Jones movie.

The familiar red trains that have been running on the West Coast main line for more than 20 years will be gone in less than a year.

Virgin Trains has had its bid to continue the franchise from London Euston to Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, North Wales, Glasgow and Edinburgh rejected.

The train operator is owned by Sir Richard Branson’s Virgin Group and Stagecoach Group.

Like I could understand them cutting it because of dumb marketing reasons, but instead of someone who cared taking the clippings home to store against the prospect of a future director's cut, they just got thrown the gently caress out

Given the wonders of modern CGI (we revived Leia!) one would think he could easily reshoot at lot of the scenes with either the original actors digitally touched up or look-alikes digitally touched up.

So why is it wrong for a lion to kill a human but not a gazelle? The lion is the one acting both times. And if neither is wrong, why save the human?

Assuming you would save the human I guess, its not a moral quandry if you let them get eaten.

It's not wrong for the lion to kill anyone

The weird thing about this is that you don't even have to go back a week to see every conservative and liberal columnist pin their colours to the mast and call him the greatest conservative. There are guys who did an interview with him a week ago who presumably heard everything he said in this interview but chose not to include that in anything they published.

Everything about American Arms sales is hilarious. They essentially blackmail you into buying their lovely planes, tanks and missile defence systems that all don't work or they won't sell you the stuff that does work/bomb the poo poo out of you.

I think hollywood is trying to move away from touching up these days :v:

In all seriousness though probably, but it'd be a case of finding a cgi company willing to both remaster and render stuff, and finding a producer willing to fund it on the hope of making the money back from sales of the DC.

Nightbreed's new cut mostly happened through fan dedication, I knew one of the dudes who worked on it (he photoshopped together the tapestry at the end - they never had a full shot of it so he just cobbled together a composite from existing footage that someone else cleaned up).
