Atsuko Tanaka, the Voice of Ghost in the Shell's Major, Has Died (gizmodo.com)

I had it on in the background the other night. It.. adds pretty much nothing to the actual story. Or fixes any of the issues. There's like an opening 20 minute sequence that adds backstory to one of the minor character who barely has anything meaningful in the rest of the film. Plus even more slow-mo. But with added blood splatter.

This might interest and entertain a few folk here: https://www.empireonline.com/movies/features/alien-chestburster-sequence-oral-history/

I haven't actually been able to start any new shows. My mood isn't connecting and I keep ending up with old shows on re-runs in the background as I putter away at other things.

Happy Birthday @Malcador Enjoy the survival as you step one year closer to the grave....

Sorry for your loss KP.

I seem to recall in one of the interviews with Rickman after the last film was made, he did say that Rowling took him aside during the first film and told him how Snape would end and that helped shape his portrayal through all films that followed and that he kept it a secret the whole time.
