Minute Cryptic - 27 October, 2025 (An easier one with a somewhat tricky definition. Yesterday I watched the The Taking of Deborah Logan, from 2014, a kind of silly, but well made, horror film, which passed the test of me not looking at my phone for the duration. If it was shot wholky digitally they did a very good job of emulating Kodak Vision3 film in places. It is also "Post IPhone". 2007 is when the world changed dramatically because the iPhone laid the way for the Internet in everyone's pocket all the time. It turned the Internet from something that people chose to spend time participating in, into something they are intricately connected to and a part of. 2014 is well into the iPhone clones, and Android, being usable. So, mentally at least, 2007 is the beginning in a relatively abrupt societal change akin to the fall of the Berlin Wall, collapse of the Soviet Union, or 9/11. A big change. So films became 21st century from about 2008 as society incorporated the changes. Athough, one could argue it still is legislatively and psychologically; society lags technology. My younger relatives only know this and it was no doubt the same when I was their age in different ways - we had microcomputers, but far less people had them. I also watched the first two episodes of Daisy May and Charlie Cooper's NightWatch on the BBC which was good because they didn't, at least so far, resort to faking stuff, or hysteria, to validate their beliefs. Essentially it was like Ghost Adventures, a show that was (or is) Ghost Bros and pioneered the kind of overexcitement that is now common on YouTube - saying "Bro" a lot and making a fuss at the drop of a hat. I'm not a believer in such things. It is quite possible to like things you don't believe. I like fiction of most kinds if it's well written. Imagination is important to me. I firmly believe that weird stuff happens and, often, but very much not always, believe people when they say they've experienced something. I just think an explanation employing the scientific method is far more interesting than, even sometimes compelling, narratives , when it applies to the real world. At the same time that scientific method requires imagination to form a hypothesis and methods of testing it. Also, and I kind of loathe the sceptic banner, because I think teams are for sport and the weak minded, I'm OK with not knowing something immediately or potentially never, and talking about the balance of probabilities and still not being sure. So I'm also sceptical of sceptics, although less so than of people opposed to them. I also want breakfast. I get philosophical before breakfast. So I haven't checked for spelling and grammar.)
