A24 announces that they want to put storyboard artists out of work. That's what the headline should be written as. Becuase we should be honest about what these AI "tools" are trying to do, and who it is trying to circumvent. variety.com/2026/film/ne...

anyway, like we were saying when we warned that, as always, execs would learn the complete wrong lesson www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/dig...

Merge two movies: STAR TREK II: THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY

This is Bodie. His presence indicates the beginning of Pride Month. May his whimsy and steadfastness bring joy and confidence to all. 14/10 the parade starts right behind him 🌈🐾 (IG: hellobodie)

I don’t know if this was always true, but it’s definitely true now The new Star Treks are a good example. Newcomers are more engaged on the level of “is this story compelling?” and the hard core have their first filter set at “does this even APPEAR to violate canon?”

Between the box office performance of Obsession and Backrooms (as well as several other recent films), it feels like something about American moviegoing tastes and habits are shifting very quickly in a way for which most of the people with the money to finance movies are completely unprepared.

Asserted Scully, "Rosenbaum is a pathetic chode whose sentence structure sucks."

Every Republican primary is between 99% Hitler and 110% Hitler and voters are breaking the lever they’re going so hard for 110% Hitler

CIS PEOPLE TIME TO STEP UP it’s once again time to yell at our bad government via online comment form the FCC is trying to make trans and nonbinary content require special ratings on shows GLAAD has a good writeup on it below TELL ‘EM NO direct link to comment form: www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings...

If you make a wish on it, one finger curls and the wish will be granted but come with horrible consequences.

Lunes. Buenos días

I repeat: THE PITT is saving television. And not in the flippant, "I just really like it" way. THE PITT has a full writers room, full crew, full seasons and is wildly popular. It's the type of TV that execs thought was dead, and, most importantly, it's the type of TV viewers will always crave.

I feel I should alert Bluesky to the baby foxes in our yard

apropos of nothing

this is a great time to remind everyone THERE ARE NO LAWS PROHIBITING CIS CHILDREN FROM GETTING PLASTIC SURGERY im gonna say that again for the "just asking questions" crowd THERE ARE NO LAWS PROHIBITING CIS CHILDREN FROM GETTING PLASTIC SURGERY just trans kids! the party of protecting children

ngl this is far and away my favorite monologue I've ever written, and not just because I got to take a monumental shit on Max Landis

One of my favorite parts of the script is the moment where we let Daisy Ridley rip Max Landis a new one to his face about his completely wrong "Mary Sue" criticism of Rey. This part was all @brianscully.bsky.social and it brought the house down when performed live by Elaine Loh! #MayThe4th

10 years ago on #MayThe4th, @brianscully.bsky.social & I anonymously released our spec script, THE MAKING OF STAR WARS EPISODE VIII (the behind the scenes of the next sequel before it had even filmed!). We had some fun before unmaking 2 wks later thebitterscriptreader.blogspot.com/2016/05/the-...

ahahahahaha soon we won’t need them for anything they are absolutely going to try to enslave us

Fractures Emerge Between GOP’s Pro-Pedophilia, Extremely Pro-Pedophilia Wings

pope tweets good

It’s fucking bizarre how people are acting like something from 2022 is something they can’t live without. Like dudes, the emotional dependence on a sycophantic machine regurgitating nonsense to encourage you to stop engaging in critical thought and trust the slop is truly depressing to witness.

cc: All Dem POTUS aspirants. Also cc: all centrist DC pundits who have already pre-written their "no accountability, we must all come together" drivel pre-set to publish in November 2028.

A very astute (and upsetting!) piece that touches on four scary cultural trends: 1) The demand for spelled-out moral clarity in stories 2) A growing inability to understand different types of narratives 3) The "customer's always right" version of fandom 4) The growth of fandom as a social identity.

Holy shit!! @shudder.com becomes the home of TALES FROM THE CRYPT. Streaming once again after a 30 year hiatus! And nearly one year before my book on the series drops in 2027! Best day ever.

“While conducting operations intended to enhance the peacekeeping skills of our troops, a simple target acquisition error regrettably ended in the deaths of over 99.9% of Americans,” said Maj. Gen. Curtis D. Taylor

Do you know how EXTREMELY FUCKED UP SHIT HAS TO BE for me to be reposting Tucker Carlson positively???

My 2023 book Burn It Down has chapter about exactly this & LCK mentioned obv. Not trying to sell books, get it from library if inclined. Tl;dr: if someone does not do the hard, consistent work of amends, repair & reparation, there doesn’t have to be a path back. If not, experts agree: fuck that guy.

This is a *terrific* piece which drives home two key points: People with special needs often have special skills, so hiring them isn't some noble sacrifice you're making but a savvy investment. Accommodations for people with special needs almost always wind up benefiting everyone else too.

THEY TRAINED THE AI ON ACTUAL WRITERS. YOU CANNOT TELL IF SOMETHING IS AI SIMPLY BASED ON IT USING PROPER GRAMMAR. IT STOLE FROM US!!! IT STOLE!!! IT IS A THIEF AND I WILL NOT EVER BE QUIET ABOUT IT!!!!

NASA just dropped this image of Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch looking back at us. The first woman to ever see our planet in its entirety. I’m not crying you’re crying 🥹🔭🧪 📸: NASA
