Cats are the best because they are elegant majestic creatures and simultaneously goofiest silly babbies.

Obviously whoever uploaded it has committed a terrible sin, but The Book of Mormon Game is now available for playing in browser or a download on the Internet Archive:

@johnefrancis Uh, no. Bountiful, BC is a reference to land of Bountiful from The Book of Mormon.

Well, the *real* Star Control 3 looks a bit more on the budget side than I expected, but hey, if it worked for a game like Star Control 2, why not just stick to what works, right?

@curved_ruler The film is *so much* better.

@danmodp It's on YouTube. Can't vouch for the translation, but it's free.

A new boutique video label is putting out one of the few Perestroika-ers films I care about - zany Soviet sci-fi isekai "Kin-Dza-Dza", on Blu-ray. Check out the new trailer: 😄

Meanwhile in 1983:

@loadhigh Yeah, they are fan made. Haven't checked them out, so I'm not sure if they use any of the official translations of the novel as a reference.

👆 I think I gotta add that Lockshin's film is the first adaptation I actually liked. All the other ones are kind of a mess, each in a different way. Petrović's film is actually quite interesting, I just think that it strays so far from the source material that I can't consider it a successful adaptation.

The Master and Margarita tv & film adaptations ranked from my most favorite to last:

1. 2024 film, dir. Michael Lockshin
2. 2005 series, dir. Vladimir Bortko
3. 1988 series, dir. Maciej Wojtyszko
4. 1994 film/series, dir. Yuri Kara
5. 1974 film, dir. Aleksandar Petrović

@dmbaturin I'm sure that's exactly what Goethe meant.

@dmbaturin I am part of that power which eternally wills evil and eternally works good.

A good quality copy of the most recent adaptation of The Master and Margarita finally got dumped on the net, so I know what I'm doing with the rest of my evening.

Pretty amazing visuals generated by a 256 *byte* executable in MS-DOS: 😯

@FediThing It's math and procedural generation
