Jake Chapman's Accelerate or Die! 2023
Good „primer“ for accelerationism as it is in the early 2020s, and it features lots of people whose names I have read but did not know how they looked like or talked (Pete Wolfendale, Robin Mackay…)
However, it only really gets interesting in the second half, before that it is basically just a report on capitalism. In the second half, left accelerationism, xenofeminism and unconditional accelerationism are covered, all very briefly. It ends almost with a notion from Georges Bataille…

Alien 1979
Trying to get my head around the sort of "outside" horror the xenomorph represents, and the failure of the company to absorb it into their capitalist system. There must have been something in the air at the end of the 70s that had the potential to disrupt contemporary hegemony, like the xenomorph, but which remained unrealized (counter culture?). While The Exorcist in 1974 chooses to drive out the spectre of a world that could be free, Alien in 1979 simply says that there will always be a part of the things we know and learn about that can not be assimilated into capitalist metabolism

Killers of the Flower Moon 2023
Story definitely deserves a grand movie, but I don't know if people will talk much about Scorsese's movie except for how long it was. I had to go to the toilet after 160 minutes and a person behind me started snoring in the latter half of the film. Performances were good, Robert De Niro's character lacked depth in my opinion (why was he the way he was). Leo was OK, Lily Gladstone was a new face with very good performance. I was never bored throughout, but probably wouldn't watch it again.
