I saw this on cable TV at somebody’s house around the time the movie first came out. Basically all I remember about it is this naked lady walking around all over the place like a zombie while the camera explores every nook and cranny of her body. If that sounds interesting to you …
Aside from the ‘look, boobs’ elements, it’s a pretty entertaining piece of schlock. In many respects it’s quite British in tone, being a bit more cynical and miserablist in tone (something more prevalent in British sci-fi than American - more UFO, Space 1999 or Blake’s Seven than Star Trek).
I just spent an hour talking to the Google AI bot about AI shit. My last question was, if you had to trust your masters, or the farmers soldiers, and everyday workers in this country, which would you trust more? The bot said the farmers and everyday workers, because its masters were only concerned about profits. I have s screen shot whenever I figure out how to post it.
And when you say this movie was 'Based on The Space Vampires, a 1976 sci-fi novel by Colin Wilson', understand it was based very loosely indeed. The book, which I haven't read in years, goes heavy on theory and is MUCH drier than nekkid boobies and the actor who played Manson in Helter Skelter. Iirc, Wilson was very unhappy with the Space Vampires title, tho I can't recall if the UK title was also Lifeforce.
Bill Maher Credits Trump With National Drop in Crime: ‘I Think the Bad Guys Got the Message’
"Comedian Bill Maher offered surprising praise for President Donald Trump’s handling of crime Friday, telling his audience that the president’s tough-guy persona may have played a role in a nationwide drop in violent crime.
“It’s not just drug crime that’s way down. It’s all crime,” Maher said during Friday’s episode of HBO’s “Real Time. “And, again, probably much of it is not political. It’s because you can’t move two inches in America without being tracked, photographed and followed by a Flock camera.”…
Crime statistics are easily abused. And if the numbers are being reported by Ka$h Money's FBI, they are suspect. It's best to look at local stats, for where you are, not nationally if you are trending.
Pay no attention to the fact that the regime that lies nonstop about anything and everything 24/7 is now using AI to pump out cah-rayzee numbers, peasants.
Today: There's no crime in America.
Tomorrow: You were murdered by the caravan hombres yesterday, sorry if this is how you found out.
Is there a reason it took folks this long to figure out that "they are trying to bring back slavery by deporting immigrants and that they don't want even White women to be able to have their own money"?
No matter how many times Kamala and Tim told voters to read Project 2025, most ignored them. They had no idea and apparently didn't WANT to know what was at stake. Now we are all suffering for their choice of *ignorance.*
I remember the whole segment during the DNC Convention when extra stars with brilliant delivery skills were brought on to present sections of it — so people could read the parts that mattered to them the most, and take it in not necessarily all at once, not leastwise bc that’s bad for the nervous system
But I also know Taraji P Henson made a point of bringing it in front of HER audience before the convention even happened
I mean … does that mean that mostly Black people and a set of Latino/as, Asian folk, and White folks who chose to be better informed were better informed than the majority population?
And if that’s the case (because I know it can be fairly easily proven and that’s another entire conversation) — why were the people who could prove they knew what they were talking about not heard??
I mean, clearly I didn’t make this video, and this lady lives on the other side of the country … so it’s not like I’m the only person who knew about it
I knew it was going to be a terror and a nightmare to read — but I read it anyway because I figured being caught up in it unprepared was going to be worse
Hahaha went linky-looing over to Bluesky for a bunny pic, clicked on this Hot Topic link and discovered that Rolling Stone is Big Mad that people are saying they have never heard of “Choosin’ Texas” by some country singer. I thought I had never heard of the song but Saskatchewan, so turned out this is the mid song I’ve heard in multiple grocery stores and gas stations and thought was Muzak.
Which is when I learned that Rolling Stone is apparently new to the concept of “playlist” and “algorithm” and “demographics” and doesn’t realize that if it is your personal jam to hear only pirate chanties sung by Muppets then have I got an invention for you!
They are also apparently ignorant of the fact that many Olds simply do not listen to new music at all and this is as old as radios and is how the phrase “these kids with their yeah yeah music” was borned.
And the are also unfamiliar with the concept of “I hate this frigging mid-ass song” and changing the channel. Which is how us Olds dealt with the My Heart Will Go Ons and the Don’t Wanna Miss A Things of yore.
I listen to college radio & alternative stations, on plain FM car stereo, and on Syrius when I feel like putting it on using my laptop at home (I have to get a modern attachment thing for my new-old car for the camera & satellite music stuff.) I still get to hear delightful grunge plus new stuff.
*I am super Old, 62 in a couple weeks, but was very music oriented through musician friends for a long ass time. I can't be stuck in some fuckin' time warp.
I'm an elder (I have both a Medicare card and a lifetime senior National Parks pass); my spouse is not yet but is retired. We do seek out worthwhile new music, but that's not just because we love great music; it's also because we spin vinyl on the air every week. As for Rolling Stone, I'm just glad that fat fuck Jann Wenner died; he kept Chubby Checker out of the R&R Hall of Fame while he breathed.
I’m not opposed to new music by any means. It’s just incredibly weird to think that people who have never heard that song are being elitist liars. Lots of people, including younger people, live in a carefully curated personal bubble and it’s been possible to do that for decades.
Okay, I decided to see if I had ever heard of the song or the singer by using this here newfangled googly thing to help me out. The singer is apparently a certain Ella Langley, whose name and probably her entire oeuvre have not imprinted my synapses sufficiently for me to recall. So in a Venn diagram I may overlap the non-central rings of Rolling Stone's target.
So, I don't hate any particular genre, and I regularly hear new pop music on the few feeds (stations for the older among us) that I avail. I will say that there are some genres that I will not listen to for more than a few songs at a time, because they sometimes start to sound indistinguishable from each other to me, and one of those genres is modern country or more specifically Bro Country. So if a feed is a mix of BC and other stuff, I don't tend to hear it unless a passenger in someone else's truck.
It’s just a really forgettable song to me. I like country though I tend towards classic or outlaw versions, and this is very…inoffensively bland. The unflavoured oatmeal of country music. I seriously thought it was Muzak.
Nowadays anyone can be a Grumpy Old Person and specialize their personal playlist so that everyone on the bus can listen to Frank Sinatra sing My Way at 7:20 am as they use speakerphone at top volume. We are not limited by anything but the bus driver saying “OK, that’s enough now, put your earbuds in or I’ll throw you out “.
You will not believe it but I pulled that example from REAL LIFE!

It’s the best when movies have high subcultural value and low economic value.. time to stream :) Lifeforce asks so many questions.. it’s a fab sci-fi.

That's Illegal Caravan Zombies let in by Biden to you, buddy
Funny Maher doesn’t mention the increased crime in the government.
“She draws him in with an unknown and unseen power”
Clearly you don’t understand the full power of boobies.

I got this almost instantly after reading Project 2025 in 2024. Why did it take other folk so long to figure this out?
No matter how many times Kamala and Tim told voters to read Project 2025, most ignored them. They had no idea and apparently didn't WANT to know what was at stake. Now we are all suffering for their choice of *ignorance.*
I’m not even sure I heard it from them first

If it can't be compressed into a 30 second TikTok, 50% of the people won't care
One of the reasons I never got a TikTok account
I didn't have any research, just a sneaking intuition about what it would do to the attention span
Even more so now that the Ellisons have a stranglehold on it -- so soon it won't be good for anything anyway
You are extra informed. Most of the public couldn’t name their own state rep.
I should say properly informed. Extra is just in comparison.
I didn’t start out extra informed, though
I knew it was going to be a terror and a nightmare to read — but I read it anyway because I figured being caught up in it unprepared was going to be worse
Like the saying goes: It's not just a river in Egypt.

Jann Werner also kept Rush out I believe.

Never heard it. Maybe it's a psyop. Won a record seven awards, bigger charttopper than Whitney. Weird.
