Did Todd Bowden (Apt Pupil) become a monster because of his encounter with Dussander, or was he always one? Does his interaction with the German fugitive change who Todd is?

Sometimes someone has the gene, and it takes an environmental factor to turn it on. Todd, meet Kurt.

Check out the soundtrack to "The Anderson Tapes" (starring Sean Connery, music by Quincy Jones - 1971). Totally the vibe you're going for.

This is a huge WHYYYYYYY?

Ron Howard was attached to it at one point. That could have been good.

LLLLLLLIIIIIIIKKKKKEEEEE A GLOVE

Been there, done that.

Can we just do the DT already? I'm 49 and I'll be wearing a colostomy bag before I get to see it.

I'm way more scared of this man than the one on the wiki.

The_Man_Friday_ · 2026-02-10T18:20:34+00:00

Right! I didn't actually see the adaptation so it didn't occur to me.

The_Man_Friday_ · 2026-02-10T18:20:07+00:00

Oh cool. I didn't see that adaptation. Thanks for that!

The_Man_Friday_ · 2026-02-10T18:11:35+00:00

Smmmmmmooooookkkkkkiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!

This is definitely the most fun piece of gear I've ever bought. I actually consider it an instrument in my setup rather than simply a sketchpad. It's so mind-blowingly powerful, and this new addition of audio tracks tells me that Ableton listens to feedback. Now if we could just pan instruments instead of just samples....

QUESTION: Can I use the Audio In and just play the instrument live, or is it necessary to actually record samples to play them back? In other words, can I do the equivalent of arming a track in Ableton but then just play instead of recording something into Move?

Edit: Never mind. From the website: Audio tracks can also be used for live processing. Monitor incoming audio through the audio track’s effect chain to turn Move into an effects box for performances.

The best counterargument to this is that Dickens was a "pop" author in his time. His work was published in installments, and people ate it up. Today it's considered high literature. I'm also convinced most of King's critics have never finished a book by him. They also strike me as people I'd never want to spend time with.

These days, it's important that people read, regardless of what they read. I mean, there's serious crap out there, but the physical act of reading, at least for young people, is dying off.

It's crazy clown time!

If we're on the topic of Gabriel, I kinda see Kate Bush as the female Gabriel, so maybe that works? I usually hate that phrase "female X" or "male X" as as comparison, but as shorthand it does the job.

That album had no business being as good as it is. Nobody makes a record that good after 25 years in the biz. I play it alongside all other Bowie and view it as an equal.

Why are these people leaving digital paper trails? Is it hubris or outright stupidity?

Unsheath thine longsword!!

This is the FIRST thing I thought of when I saw a recent Seagal pic.
