  • Just watched The Gorge (2025) recently. I wouldn’t say it’s a bad film, but it was really mediocre.

    I love the premise of having the two guard towers, one on each side of a mysterious and foggy gorge, not supposed to communicate with each other, guarding us all from whatever is down there. People have previously gone in but never come out. Strange monsters sometimes attempt the climb up the cliff walls. Is it the gate to hell? What’s the story behind it all? Chemistry slowly happens between the guards of the two towers.

    (If you think you might enjoy this movie, don’t read my spoilers. Just watch it. I liked it even though it was a bit disappointing.)

    But the good setup and world building is quickly over and then they both enter the gorge, and it’s just an old evacuated biological lab that created super soldiers, and the whole thing instantly stops being mysterious.

    They could have kept it mysterious for longer and given us some kind of twist perhaps, like they might discover they’re guarding the site of an old defunct biolab, but some things don’t add up, and it turns out to be the actual gates of hell. I also don’t think Drasa should have dived straight in to rescue Levi. Let her hesitate for a while. Create tension. Keep them separated, him somewhere below and her in her tower (perhaps she will need to get over to his tower to reactivate the auto-turrets or do something important, she believes he’s gone), and cut between showing both their struggles. Perhaps he then manages to contact her, and then a rescue effort begins.

    Doesn’t that just cut one line at a time?

    Move the cursor to the start of what you want to cut, press ALT+A, then move the cursor with arrow keys (you’ll see text be highlighted from where the cursor was to where you move your cursor), then once you’ve moved the cusor to where you want, press CTRL+K to cut.

    Lots or file formats are just zipped XML.

    I was reverse engineering fucking around with the LBX file format for our Brother label printer’s software at work, because I wanted to generate labels programmatically, and they’re zipped XML too. Terrible format, LBX, really annoying to work with. The parser in Brother P-Touch Editor is really picky too. A string is 1 character longer or shorter than the length you defined in an attribute earlier in the XML? “I’ve never seen this file format in my life,” says P-Touch Editor.
