PREACH

Quentin Dupieux’s Full Phil is barely a movie but I nevertheless had a good time with it. #Cannes

Far from the first to say it, but Riz Ahmed ticks dang near every box.

probably not a good sign for humanity writ large to have created a huge financial incentive structure for people to be aggressively antisocial and antagonistic in public for money and make clear that that's a viable career path

rude. in my day we called that Italo-disco.

If the options are useless arch or zip line… I’m picking zip line every time.

Picked a random number, listened to that track, and wooooooooof. Love his passion for Toronto but at this point maybe he should just not.

in a way, isn’t causing men to crash out before she’s even done anything just proof that Lupita is perfect for Helen of Troy

Just caught Teenage Sex & Death At Camp Miasma - absolutely fucking brilliant. See it in theatres this August. #Cannes

Not every movie is a masterpiece, but most movies are miracles, and we used to know how to sit in awe of miracles. I miss awe. Bring back awe.

Few sequences of events more satisfying than: - Gust of wind blows off ball cap - You catch it before it hits the ground - A nearby dude exclaims “Hell yeah!” and offers the highest of fives.

“Building handy little tools for your specific workflow” is the killer app for AI, but I’m not sure it requires a long term subscription. I got Claude Pro to try it out, had it build a few handy tools… and then I churned because I didn’t have any more things I wanted to make.

New York: this is worth your time.

doing whatever it takes to make jodie foster think you’re cool

I’ve been a fan of Nate’s for more than a minute - I strongly believe he’s the only guy who can save the OLP’s leadership from themselves. If he’s got evidence he was done dirty, he should air it out and show the province what sclerotic fools they are.

Obviously not the main thing, but a $7k bar tab? Jesus Christ. I bought out a bar for myself and 25 friends for my birthday last year with everything on me and I spent less than half that.

Copenhagen and we don’t talk about it.

Someone at work asked who I was listening to, and I said Broken Social Scene. I decided to try and explain the band to them and I went on a monologue about how many bands have been connected to them, the ever evolving lineup, and how they are (arguably) the most important indie in Canada.

Give Dean Cundey a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame you cowards. (Don’t know Dean’s work? Look him up. His impact on modern filmmaking is incalculable.)

I absolutely devoured the Kurt Russell Dexter Riley stuff as a kid. Star Wars. Mary Poppins. Also, it’s not that movie VFX haven’t advanced since LOTR but there’s nothing you’ve needed to do for a story that you haven’t been able to do in some way since then, so it’s not quite the same.

A stunning rendition of Sigur Ros' Hoppipolla from the recent David Attenborough 100th birthday celebrations. Seeing these guys live is the kind of thing you never forget.

At least this bodes well for the new Madonna album being a heater.

Could make a case for Superbad.

first off is Mr. Brightside you can't argue with that it;s like arguing with God, we all ageed to this years ago www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGdG...

In double overtime no less!

For a minute I thought this was somebody dressed up in a heron costume doing a stupid dance.

we don’t really need to report on/talking about this using dumb incel culture terminology. we can just call it “male body dysmorphia” because that’s what it actually is

I like Klobuchar quite a bit, but if this is what she believes she's not fit to meet the moment.

It’s ok they are only diluting or eliminating altogether Black voting power in the part of the country where most Black people in this nation, well, you know, live

Pretty sure I can't get these before my trip to Europe on Monday, but if I could, I would, and that's weird for me as someone who tends not to play up his being Canadian while abroad. There was a time I took the assumption I was American as a compliment, a reassurance that I fit in, was normal.

Remember in today's elections there are some parties who would jail this pensioner for being right 1. Antisemitism is real & revolting; 2. To march against a UK government that supports genocide is to march *against* hate; 3. There is nothing 'Jewish' about Netanyahu's crimes; #SolidarityPalestine

social media moderation is a hard or impossible thing to get right, i'm just gonna say "this is a grave injustice: i got suspended by the mods just for deliberately provoking them" is a bad look for you if you're in your 30s or 40s

How is any say final in a democracy? I hate this construction and the way it gives the feckless an out to keep saying “just vote harder next time”.

Cognitive Sovereignty is a great way to put it. I wish I had greater confidence in our leaders’ ability/interest to defend it.

Pet peeve of modern life: only needing a couple eggs, and they’re only available by the dozen.

Prey ‘06 was really something special.

This increasingly feels like a Seinfeld bit. "What does it even mean, to hold a ceasefire? You've already got your two verbs! Are you firing? Cease! How can you hold what has ceased, it is no more!"

“‘What’s happening right now is probably the swiftest disenfranchisement of Black folks since Reconstruction, due to disenfranchisement by racist gerrymandering. And they will lie and say that it’s for political purposes,’ said Democratic state representative Justin Pearson of Tennessee…”

Someone famous is gonna get hit by this - the question is who?

This headline from Justice Roberts and the red banner of what Tennessee just did to Memphis after the SCOTUS gutted the Voting Rights Act..

Captain America: The First Avenger (2011)

Television's Marquee Moon is so good, I'll go to put one track on the Sonos, stop myself, ask what the hell I was thinking, and put on the whole album.

There's a direct line between Ted's encouragement of the Cartoon Network team to remix old H-B stuff and many of my biggest comedy influences, including people I am literally working on projects with today. Rest easy, bud.

Watching Zack Polanski being treated this way by the very same people screaming “SAYING ‘GENOCIDE’ IS ANTISEMITIC” has been infuriating 👇🏼

Watching this was unexpectedly moving. It feels both true to the feeling of being in a theater, and impossibly crisp. I was blown away.

Just gave this a try on Game Pass and it's great. Very strong Prince of Persia '08 vibes. Worth checking out.

When was the last time we saw a video game that practically created its own genre and changed the direction of the industry? Something on the scale of like a Guitar Hero.

I remain skeptical the games in Toronto are gonna have that much impact. More people attend the CNE every day when it’s on than are going to attend these games. Lots will come from out of town, but that was the case for Taylor Swift too.
