If you've already seen that excellent vid on "haptic/tactile" filmmaking, check out Thomas Flight's analysis of how similar techniques were used to make #Andor feel so "real".

Wishing you all a very Shane Black Christmas!

The big day has arrived! The day I post the Adama Maneuver again. Next time: 2026 🫡

this image is maybe the single greatest joke in TRADING PLACES. and also a pretty apt description of the trump/vance/national conservative vision of america

Well this was a lovely surprise! Early Christmas present from @jockbsky.bsky.social — cheers matey! 😊

These are complex issues, but if I'm understanding correctly... Threats to national security: The New York Times, Greenland, offshore wind farms Non-threat to national security: hiding stolen Top Secret documents in your golf club's bathroom

Quote with a robot that's not Star Wars or Transformers. Hard Mode: No Gundam, Battletech or Macross.

I have now watched the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT that Bari Weiss tried to spike, and it is horrifying.

POV: You just read a book on the history of Liverpool.

"It is pretty hard to claim you've got 'punk energy' when you essentially spout conservative talking points while dressed like the front desk manager at a Courtyard Marriott... It turns out, like most punk rock things, The Free Press was quickly bankrolled by a string of reactionary billionaires."

It’s a good thing there’s such a steady stream of studies, because they seem to be forgotten moments after publication. news.griffith.edu.au/2025/12/16/c...

Share an actor who nailed a role so hard that nobody else will ever be able to live up to it…

Thank you to whoever recommended "The English." I've just binged it and loved every second.

Just completed final watch through of the finished ROGUE TROOPER film… 25 years of pestering @2000ad.bsky.social to let me give it a shot, 3 years of production to make the thing & now… it’s DONE! Can’t wait for you to see it. So, so proud of our team. We’ve made something a bit special. ❤️

'Though completely eclipsed by Don Quixote, Cristalián de España, which was first published in 1545, has a unique claim to fame. Its 800 pages, bristling with swords, sorcerers, dragons and damsels, make up the earliest known work by a female Spanish novelist.' 1/2

The #1 movie when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go. Academics vs Nazis? Checks out.

decades-long manhunt finally ends

I spoke to a dozen professional concept artists working in games about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs easier, even if it's just used in "very early ideation stages." Zero said "yes." Most said it made their job harder. I learnt a lot about concept artists. You should too!

On the seventh anniversary of THIS image, here's a funny story about the elephants, Naomi Wolf and the absurdity of online nostalgia.

just an fyi for portland ppl, this ursula exhibition is going on until february, it's free, and has a ton of her maps. plan for spending over an hour if you really want to take it all in www.oregoncontemporary.org/a-larger-rea...

"According to Tolkien, creating a fantastical world that feels real is even more difficult than describing the real one we live in — fantasy, to him, is an higher and more difficult art than realism."

On Monday night, MIT fusion scientist Nuno Loureiro was shot dead in his home. Today, Trump Media announced a merger with fusion power company TAE Technologies. I'm not saying these facts are connected, but it does sound like a solid basis for a cheesy '90s thriller.

Oh wow, suddenly you have a desperate need for social and artistic skill sets? Amazing. Anyway, eat a cold loaf of Satan's ass cheese, fellas.

Love this analysis

incredible that the oldest scam in the book — “look away from the greed and poor leadership that destroy your chance to make a career, it is the [blanks] that stole your job!” — still works

Websites are showing me AI-generated slop ads for fake, non-existent “products.” Modern life is rubbish.

What gets me about executives at movie/videogame studios being taken aback at consumer backlash to AI is that they seem genuinely surprised that we like the human beings that make the things that we like

BREAKING on MS NOW: Jack Smith, in his opening statement to House Judiciary, says: "Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and to prevent the lawful transfer of power."

People say AI is a magic shortcut to creativity & success. I’ll tell you the real secret and it’s voraciously reading, being interested in everything, being diligent in the pursuit of learning, paying attention to the interior lives of others & keeping a heart open to the world.

“If you don’t fix what’s broken, you’ll go insane.” — Max Rockatansky

America has spent the last decade normalizing a lying idiot crook and, well, here we are.

This is *hilarious*. I actually barked an angry, triumphant laugh.

One of my all-time favorite clips of Rob Reiner, from his Friars Club Roast in 2000, as he reads aloud Roger Ebert's infamous scathing review of his movie North. The man had an amazing sense of humor about himself. RIP.

As you may know, I have stopped using Twitter, and have decided to reproduce some of my more memorable threads here for posterity. Here’s one I hold wrote after a particularly engaging swordfighting lesson. Buckle up, swordfighting fans, because I *have* studied my Agrippa! [BIG ASS THREAD]

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing. All from his movies.

He also invented the mockumentary with This Is Spinal Tap (1984). Plus, The Sure Thing (1985) is an underrated gem, an odd couple road trip romcom disguised as a teen sex comedy. Man, what a run. #RobReiner
