Swinging the hammer at Scooploop, but am I worthy?
On my personal wall I am posting about random stuff I stumble upon, South London and sometimes tech.
I post a lot of photos and short videos, if that interests you, follow me.

The new head of Russia’s space agency backed away from comments suggesting Russia would withdraw from the International Space Station as soon as 2024 but expressed doubts Russia would be involved through 2030. https://spacenews.com/roscosmos-head-revises-comments-about-quitting-iss-after-2024/

"Russia will opt out of the International Space Station (ISS) after 2024 and focus on building its own orbiting outpost, the country’s newly appointed space chief said on Tuesday." Probably the best for everyone involved. https://www.theguardian.com/science/2022/jul/26/russia-opt-out-international-space-station-2024-build-own-outpost

The perfect musical horror comedy film for one of those weird evenings to to scare the unwanted relatives away. With Tim Curry, Richard O'Brien, Meat Loaf, directed by Jim Sharman. It's a fun rewatch every decade or so.

by Peter Greenaway. Absolutely fantastic cinematography, a weird detective/comedy style story placed in England of 1694. An artist is contracted to make drawings of a landowner's house and is drawn into a complicated cabal including murder. Not recommended for kids though (it's pretty explicit).

Who remembers "Coming to America" (1988) with Eddie Murphy and James Earl Jones? Also a young Samuel L. Jackson appears in a minor role.

The other week I finally watched Dune (the 2021 movie), the new film after the 1965 science fiction novel by Frank Herbert. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised. The movie is so much better than the 1984 misguided David Lynch version (probably his worst movie). While the movie has some pacing issues and tries to be a bit to hard to be "epic" for my taste, the cinematography and cast is great. If you are into science-fiction/fantasy cross-over, I highly recommend it. It's not going to make my "best movies of all times" list or anything, but it's well made and captures the mood of the novel very well.
