M3GAN 2.0 (15) ★★★ In the two years since satirical sci-fi horror comedy M3GAN came out, a lot of the generative AI tech its killer toy-bot plot was riffing on has become worryingly commonplace. It's appropriate, then, that its outré sequel M3GAN 2.0 has undergone an exponential upgrade in keeping with its title. If the first film operated in a speculative sweet-spot somewhere between getting in under the wire and being late to the party (turncoat robots and humanity-destroying AI have, after all, been a staple of cinema for decades), the new film's goofily preposterous plot is so outlandish it manages to make a weirdly trenchant mockery of our current chaotic reality, right down to the fact it opens with an AI-powered attack on Iran by an incompetent American government agency that hasn't thought through the destabilising consequences of its actions. Gemma (Allison Williams) and M3GAN in M3GAN 2.0, directed by Gerard Johnstone. | Contributed As accidentally tasteless as that sounds, the film quickly returns us to the world of the first film where M3gan's chastened inventor, Gemma (Allison Williams), has volte-faced into becoming a public evangelist for responsible tech restrictions while simultaneously trying to take a more hands-on approach to parenting Cady (Violet McGraw), the orphaned, now-teenaged, niece she mistakenly left to the care of the over-zealous M3gan doll first time round (M3gan is once again partly played by teenage dancer Amie Donald and voiced by Jenna Davis). Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad As the film opens, that murderous robo-protector now exists in cyberspace only, her body having been destroyed and her source code supposedly erased. But when a US military-sanctioned cyborg assassin ripped off from M3gan goes rogue (she's called Amelia and is played by Ivanna Sakhno), Gemma – with Cady's help – has to reboot, rebuild and reprogram her original creation to take it down, Terminator 2-style. M3GAN in M3GAN 2.0 directed by Gerard Johnstone | Contributed Once again directed by Gerard Johnstone and produced by horror maestros James Wan and Jason Blum, the film certainly isn't shy about embracing its influences, paying blatant tongue-in-cheek homage to the aforementioned T2 (and the Matrix) as it morphs into a full-scale action extravaganza. Consequently, it sacrifices the slasher movie element that made the first film such a hoot, though mercifully not the campiness, which provides waves of weirdness that ensure that, while M3GAN 2.0 is no candidate for greatness, it is, in its own bizarre way, an amusing reflection of the current moment.

Azealia Banks cancels UK festivals with claims she was pressured to 'support Pal
Azealia Banks has announced that she will no longer be performing Boomtown of Maiden Voyage after 'dealing with threats' from organisers. The controversial American rapper, 34, took to social media to claim that she was being forced to say she supports Palestine or be cut from the lineup, a claim the promoters deny. Taking to X, the 212 singer told her fans: 'So guys, I am cancelling Boomtown and Maiden Voyage. 'The promoters have been stressing me out for weeks trying to force me to say free Palestine and threatening to cut me from the bill because I won't say free Palestine and I'm not dealing with the threats and I'm not putting on a f***ing hijab. She added: 'I would much rather drop them and not associate with anything that has cheap group think bull***t attached to it. 'If they want to allow some no-name dj's to bully them into desecrating the nature of this music ecosystem and make ME the issue – whilst there being absolutely no ethical consumption under capitalism. Then that's fine. She clarified her stance in a following tweet that read: 'And no, I'm not saying f**k actual Palestine. But f**k your dumb a** slogans and performative bulls**t. Y'all wanna make a stance so bad but stand for absolutely nothing.' She continued to share various messages to her fans on social media, taking aim at organisers and performative Palestine supporters. Boomtown confirmed in a statement to Metro that they have not, and would not, dictate the beliefs of performers. 'Following her post on X in the early hours of this morning, we can confirm that Azealia Banks has withdrawn from the lineup and will no longer be performing at Boomtown Festival. 'For clarity, Boomtown does not and will never dictate the personal views and beliefs of performers,' a spokesperson said. The festival announced in January 2024 that it would be fundraising for Medical Aid for Palestinians, and an optional donation was put on all ticket purchases. The festival is set to take place from August 6 to August 10 at the Matterly Estate, Hampshire. Maiden Voyage Festival will take place on August 9 in Burgess Park, London. The change in lineup comes just weeks after Banks took to social media to claim that she was a Zionist. 'It should all be Israel. Palestine cannot support itself without help from other countries so the people should just leave or become naturalised Israelis,' she shared on X. 'Palestine is not a country. The area is called JUDEA for a reason.' The star has become known for her controversial comments, and throughout her career has been accused of homophobia, transphobia and xenophobia towards a variety of different nationalities. Notably, the star has shared a number of rants on X and Instagram, taking aim at various celebrities including Zayn Malik, Skai Jackson, and Kanye West. More Trending In 2016, she filed a police report against Russell Crowe after falling out during a hotel suite party. She also found herself at the centre of controversy in 2021 when she posted a video on Instagram of her exhuming the remains and collecting the bones of her dead cat, Lucifer.

Lomography: How plastic cameras stole my youth (and gave it back again)
In a world flooded with perfect photos, perhaps there's a place for the overexposed and out-of-focus analogue shot, writes Roger Cox Sign up to our Scotsman Rural News - A weekly of the Hay's Way tour of Scotland emailed direct to you.

Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... Back in the early Noughties, I developed an expensive infatuation with toy-like analogue cameras. It was all the fault of the Arches in Glasgow, which, in 2001, hosted an exhibition of Lomography – photographs taken using boxy, retro-style cameras designed and built at the Lomo factory in St Petersburg from the 1980s onwards. The cameras themselves weren't particularly pricey (the whole point of them was that they were supposed to be cheap and therefore something comrades across the communist world could enjoy), but the random, never-know-what-you're-going-to-get element they injected into the process of taking photographs was highly addictive. Cat Skiing at Mustang Powder, British Columbia, Canada, as seen through a Lomo Fisheye No.2 camera | Roger Cox / The Scotsman How much money did I burn through developing films from Lomo cameras in the first few years of the 21st century? I shudder to think, but with a success rate of approximately one decent image per 36-exposure film, suffice to say that if I'd saved all that cash and invested it in Apple shares instead, just as Steve Jobs and Co were figuring out how to incorporate digital cameras into mobile phones, I could probably have retired by now, and would be writing this from the deck of my yacht, somewhere in the Caribbean. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The first Lomo camera to be developed was the LOMO LC-A, modelled on a Japanese compact camera called the Cosina CX-1, and it soon became popular everywhere hammers and sickles were in vogue. Then, in 1991, with the Iron Curtain duly consigned to the Great Skip of History, a group of Viennese students came across some of these odd-looking picture boxes while visiting Prague, fired off a load of frames, developed the films when they got home, and were promptly blown away by the distinctive, out-of-time images they produced. The following year, they set up the Lomographic Society International (LSI), with its own 'Ten Golden Rules of Lomography' and, a little later, wrote a full-blown Lomography Manifesto. Fast-forward to 1996, and, when it looked as if the folks at the Lomo factory were about to call time on their quirky plastic cameras, the evangelists at the LSI travelled to Russia and convinced the head honchos there to continue production. There was, they explained, a market for these little cameras in the west... Crossing the California-Nevada border at the Heavenly ski resort with a Lomo Action Sampler | Roger Cox / The Scotsman By the time I first became aware of Lomography, the LOMO LC-A was by no means the only Lomo camera on offer – I was able to buy an Action Sampler, which allowed you to capture a sequence of four images on a single exposure, and a Fisheye No. 2, which, with its 10mm lens, made everything look as if you were shooting from inside a slightly murky goldfish bowl. Proceeding further down this retro photographic rabbit hole, I also got myself a Holga 120N, which meant shooting on medium format film – even more expensive to buy and develop. None of this would really have mattered if I hadn't had anything much of interest to point these cameras at during my 20s. However, my plastic camera mania happened to coincide with the period of my life when I got to travel the most – no kids, no responsibilities, and for some reason almost completely impervious to jetlag. Had I owned a sensible, straightforward digital camera during this time, even with my very-basic-verging-on-Neanderthal understanding of photography, I would still have ended up with a well-organised image bank that would now enable me to relive this period in glorious Technicolor whenever I wanted. Instead, all I have is a shoebox full of madness – a chaotic haystack of pictures which, taken together, resemble a nonsensical, globetrotting acid trip. Double exposure of surfers at Blehaven Bay, East Lothian | Roger Cox / The Scotsman A chance of a lifetime to go cat-skiing in the Monashee Mountains in British Columbia, for example – bottomless powder snow every day for a week – could potentially have yielded some spectacular action shots. Instead, I have a few wonky fish-eye images of people emerging from snow cats, the huge, brawny machines looking comically small beside the skiers standing in front of them, due to the way the lens distorts the image. Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco? Action Sampler images of somebody's Converse trainers (nope, no idea whose) walking along a sunny sidewalk. A surf contest at Dunbar? Various trippy double-exposure portrait experiments, none of them very successful. A ski trip to Heavenly at Lake Tahoe? Another Action Sampler series, this one taken while snowboarding across the California-Nevada border, only with my finger covering nearly half of one of the four frames that make up the image. I could go on, but you get the general idea – for the most part, the only visual record I have of this time in my life looks like a Monty Python film directed by David Lynch. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Fisherman's Wharf, San Francisco | Roger Cox / The Scotsman Towards the end of the Noughts I got myself a 'proper' DSLR camera, started taking 'proper' pictures, and put the plastic cameras and the shoebox full of wonky prints away. A few weeks ago, though, I got them all out again for the first time in about a decade, and decided that perhaps my plastic-fantastic years weren't a complete waste after all. These days the world is flooded with perfect images, many of them artificially tweaked to look even more perfect; at least with an overexposed and out-of-focus analogue shot you know you're looking at something real.
