I wrote some thoughts on Festival Autorskog Filma in Belgrade, which I visited last month: journeyintocinema.com/festival-of-...

Oh nice, I can draft another world leader to my imaginary UN basketball team. Chapo looks a good fit for Center, Vučić and Rama are in at Power Forward and Small Forward, Obama's at point, so that just leaves Shooting Guard. Any recs?

Newly Unsealed Batch Of Epstein Estate Photos Contains Rare Holographic Dershowitz

My overly anglicised brain, squinting as I tuck into this wonderful translation recently published by a good friend: "who the fuck is eme sezer?"

If I had a penny for every documentary I've watched about experimental Slovenian art scenes of the 60s this year, I'd have two pennies, which isn't a lot but weird that it happened twice.

Out of nearly 100 qrts, there was EXACTLY one that rightfully called out this article as clickbait and provided a contextual screenshot of what they actually meant This isn't Gen AI, nor is it a misinformed executive. It's the same team that weathered the CGI boom saying they're ready for round two

too few artists, filmmakers, critics etc. these days are producing manifestos imo.

The original article this article is leeching off of and voiding of context for ragebait points. It's a nothing statement, Aardman isn't switching to ai. The kind of "ai" here is the same automation stuff we've had for years, but renamed ai to attract investors. www.radiotimes.com/movies/walla...

Can anyone recommend a good free PDF reader now that Adobe has shat itself with AI nonsense? I tried Stirling but it's not particularly user-friendly for just reading.

I caught Secret Agent today at Auteur Film Festival in Belgrade and adored, but most especially for the surprise (to me at least) of having Udo Kier pop up. RIP.

Truth. (Tudjman totally would've been if he was alive)

Fits the profile. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

It's a lovely view from where I'm shitting (not a typo)

Happy 80th Neil Young. When all is said and done, he is the one for me. I pretty much learned to play guitar on his songs. Musical happiness is him just noodling along with the Horse for half an hour.

barely a metaphor lmao

"I could smell the onions and mustard"

Woke up today to the news

Dick Cheney won't see your mean jokes about his death, but Tony Blair will, hopefully.

Beds made for students in the town of Inđija, about halfway between Belgrade and Novi Sad. Thousands of students are walking from Belgrade to tomorrow's commemoration ceremony in Novi Sad. They are spending the night in Inđija, where the local criminal town leaders are 🚫 any public accommodation.

CARDIFF: EVENT CITY™

I really hope this gets some kind of release in Brasil lol. Gotta see it.

Hello! We’re hiring!

Glauber Rocha spitting facts

Finally caught up to tronares and goddamn, this is a great film

I'm not calling it Tron: Ares, I'm calling it tronares

the woman in cabin 10: the sort of film so bad and anonymous i'm surprised it didn't get a gala premiere at the bfi netflix london film festival

My take on One Battle After Another is this: Paul Thomas Anderson should direct the next instalment of the Fast & Furious franchise.

CatGPT: woefully inefficient, makes stuff up all the time like "I'm hungry" when he's just eaten. Useful mostly for holding headphone wires in place.

I'm trying to take a photo of my cat on my workspace and make a cringe joke about how I use CatGPT for work, but honestly he's being so chaotic and ridiculous I can't get him to sit still enough for a good shot.

Oh man, why have I taken this long to listen to Dennis Wilson's Pacific Ocean Blue?

One Battle After Another: Absolute masterpiece, one of PTA's best.

One of Lars Von Trier's best.

Once Upon a Time in the West is maybe a top 3 movie of all time for me, one of the films that caught my teenage mind aflame as to the possibilities of cinema. Only time I ever bunked off school was to go to Cardiff to see it at Chapter, on what I'm 90% was a 35mm print c. 2012.

Sometimes it's nice to remember that even Marcus Aurelius was like "you don't have to comment on everything bro"

R.I.P. Robert Redford (1936-2025)

Ok, found justification for an MP still to be using X.

I think we need to stop understanding evangelical Christianity as a denomination of Christianity but to start treating it as the terrorist death cult that it is, something separate to and an aberration of anything to do with Christian teachings.

feel proud to have moved to a functioning democracy

Every centrist hagiographer: he said some very important stuff Everyone: oh, like what? Every centrist hagiographer: very important things Everyone: Can you repeat some of those things he said? Every centrist hagiographer, looking at their legal department frantically shaking their heads: no

the breakup of yugoslavia was simply a western conspiracy to weaken our football teams (applies to other sports)

Rewatched The Devils for the first time in perhaps ten years or more last night. A film in which conservative elites use religious iconography to justify changing the facts to whatever suits them just because. Can't think why it might be relevant to the present moment

I don't see anyone else posting this, so I'm going to post it. youtu.be/tRDkKobIWpo?...

Chat shit get banged

I firmly believe that PTA is long overdue a hipsterized BlueSky/FilmTwitter-style backlash over some bullshit, and not having seen it, I believe One Battle After Another will be that film.

The first Brazilian president after the military dictatorship famously got Weekend at Bernies'd because they needed to protect a fledgling democracy. Trump is gonna get Weekend at Bernies'd for...what? A boost to the memecoin?
