I love Jia but I just can’t get into the AI thing. I think it’s largely emblematic of a cultural difference but still

men will literally monitor the situation before going to therapy

The threat to French democracy of a Bardella/Le Pen win next year is so much bigger because of the slow but steady cultural coup by Bolloré.

Toronto people: one of the finest Chinese films of the past few years, LIVING THE LAND 生息之地, will screen at TIFF Lightbox tomorrow evening, May 13th. It's an exquisitely detailed story of a farming family in 1990s China, that takes labour and beauty equally seriously. letterboxd.com/shellyak/fil...

idk how to tell you this but people in their 30s and beyond do not have to subject themselves to the aesthetic judgements of teenagers. you can have a distinct culture. you dont have to breathlessly ask if the thing you like is chopped! we havent been young or cool in a while!!

While the world’s eyes are on fashion’s biggest night, we’re turning ours to the garment, retail, and warehouse workers who keep the industry running. From true love found on the picket line to a free tailoring school out of a Brooklyn basement — meet the New Yorkers who make it all possible.

You know what’s more of a fashion movie than Devil Wears Prada 2? Star Wars Episode II…

The only person actually dressed on theme in terms of representing the exhibit itself!

Met Gala hasn’t felt remotely fashionable in years, tbh

I do think it’s worth noting that the majority of sources for the “Controversy” section are dated Nov. 2025, which would’ve coincided with the backlash around WKW criticizing China’s one party system. Not that these are total fabrications, but WKW criticism definitely got magnified last fall.

So are we getting the full Cannes jury roster this week or are they just gonna surprise us at the festival…

Love is a basic human right🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 Gender shouldn’t draw any lines. Why does the world make something so natural feel so hard? Let’s hold hands and shout it loud—love should be free for everyone. love is love♡

Oscar Isaac was in the Criterion Closet and he’s the first guy who I think properly understood that he gets all the movies for free and just overloaded the bag

I don't want Salah Sarsour to get lost in all the noise. Born in the West Bank, Sarsour was jailed by Israeli occupiers at 15, supporters say he was tortured. Just like today. After 30 years in the US, Sarsour is now sits ICE jail after being doxxed by Canary Mission and targeted by Marco Rubio

You don’t need to go very far to see that the Para-Bros merger will mean censorship, reprisals, punishment and exclusion. They are already at it. Trust them when they tell you they will use the power and this consolidation of media for political reasons. www.avclub.com/hollywood-bl...

his own films are masterworks in their own right of course but Fukui's presence behind the camera alongside kei fujiwara and director shinya tsukamoto on the visual effects in tetsuo the iron man was deeply formative for me. his work on that film is crucial, we lost a legend.

Asghar Farhadi implores filmmakers to speak out against “inhumane, illegal, and destructive” Iran war

I think often of a New York Times photo of a little Iraqi girl tending to her parakeets in a bombed house, probably from 20 years ago now. I will think of this man and his sweet dog often now too. People just want to love what they love, care for their little beings, and instead we do this to them

Tehran's got a population of 15 million and is in the middle of a severe resource crisis. A conventional strike can kill millions of people in very slow and painful ways and I wish we could talk about that instead of jumping to the worst thing we can think of and getting freaked out about it.

We are terrorizing an entire country. www.wsj.com/world/middle...

I hate having to do the "look, they're normal just like us" post, but sometimes you have to do that when American propaganda tries to convince everyone Iranians are "animals".
