ALT book cover: screen devices sinking in purple goo
ALT The Graphic User Interface, or GUI, is the adhesive centre of today’s screen entertainment web. From films and television to apps and videogames, it holds together a multitude of media and shapes the way they are accessed, organised, created, consumed, and manipulated. However, it does not do so without leaving traces, and Gooey Media: Screen Entertainment and the Graphic User Interface examines this residue and its consequences, revealing how the GUI exerts a powerful influence on contemporary media.

I have seen Madame Web. It is glorious. It is structurally unsound and full of explosives. It is a baffling deathtrap.

when it comes to three hour epics about myth, history, and identity by blockbuster contemporary auteurs, I know all too well which way I'm leaning
is this a **spoiler**?
Act 1: "Oppenheimer, you son of a bitch, I'm in"
Act 2: Oppenheimer and the WASP: Quantumania
Act 3: A Fusion Good Men
