that this was Andrew Eldritch using the name The Sisterhood so Wayne Hussey couldn't? And that the numbers spoken at the start are how much he made from suing him or some such?

Kind of - but Eldritch didn't officially appear as a performer on Gift.
He wrote it all, and programmed the sequencer and Doktor Avalanche, but it's not him doing any of the vocals.

1. Open a bunch of funds.

3. Close the ones that make a loss.
4. You've got a hamster that apparently make a huge profit.
It's the same trick as the octopus that predicts football winners.

not to mention that as I said, there are dozens of funds that consistently outperform their benchmarks.

Really? I'd loooooooooove to see some evidence in support of this claim.
News reports of stock/sport predicting animals seemingly only focus on those whose owners claim they are scoring more hits than misses. How many predicting animals are scoring more misses than hits? Where can we look up this information?
Looking forward to reading your peer reviewed studies on this topic.

Um...
Consider that "the writers threw darts at a stock list in the newspaper" is the limit of the description of their method.
Such a list was unlikely to be randomly generated, considering that it was deemed newsworthy.
It's unlikely that the selection drew randomly from stocks that were generally stagnant, or generally falling. It seems obvious that the non-random selection that was reported in the financial news was probably remarkable in some other way.
Don't get me wrong, economics is pseudo-science at best. But if you choose to buy stocks at random, you are likely to perform less well than if you choose stocks that are trending upwards in value, because some of your random selection will be stagnant or trending downwards.
See if you can find a news story about a random stock/shares selection that returns worse results than a broker's choice.

OOOOOOOOOOH
Quite a lot of the content is, shall we say, problematic for 2021. I'm thinking of the rampant sexism, e.g. Homeo-Whores.
Also quite a lot of the dialogue and most of the actual details of the story are quite shallow scifi shlock that I doubt can translate well to the screen without it being outright comedy. Kind of Flash Gordon camp territory at best...
Also so many other series and films have ripped off the plot and the grander themes that it risks being seen as somewhat generic.
I can't see Hollywood execs leaving the greater story or the cast of characters alone. I think they probably need to make some big changes to get a film to work.
I'll be following this with great interest!

It's well worth reading. Absolutely beautiful art, quite minimalist, very European, very often imitated.

Definitely not Hard SF though. Lots of 'love conquers all' and other dei ex machina.
Do you mean Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets? I've not seen it, but skimming over the imdb page it looks like its the 23,000,000th Incal ripoff. See also Final Space.
