It must also be remembered that Iger is the guy who looked at the greatest television murder mystery ever created, and insisted they solve the murder not even halfway through the second season (and first FULL season), snd then expected the show to continue, with no problems.

youtu.be/0nbvdOq_Vqc?... This is part of why I went so low-fi for the indie anthology I spearheaded. There needs to be a space for indie animation that's cheap, in the same way indie film doesnt have to be Miramax. Embrace the limitations.

AUTISTIC MODE is playing in Marvels of Media at Museum of the Moving Image next Friday, March 27 www.instagram.com/reel/DWFWe31...

Had to stop listening to a podcast for a bit because they were aggressively leaning into ESB myths to minimize Lucas on the film, while at the same time pushing back against the Kubrick as traumatizing monster narrative on Shining, which to me means they KNOW better.

If Heaven's Gate isn't at the top, you've all got paper assholes.

Watching The Pitt Season 1 again. Really good stuff, but I have to be honest, the whole Incel Kid story is a masterclass in ineptly handled Headline Rip writing. You can make this sort of thing work, but the way it is here, it just feels like an invitation to a huge malpractice suit.

@animecommentary.bsky.social Hey, I saw you put Autistic Mode on a letterboxd list. DM me if you wanted a link.

That sure is one nutty hospital.

I tell ya, Halberstram, ya gotta get yerself a home tanning bed. Save SO much cash over going to a salon, like that dweeb Bateman. How'd a loser like that snag himself a hot little hardbody like Evelyn Williams? Can't even get reservations at Dor-- Uh, Huey Lewis? He's okay, I guess...?

It just occurred to me that Bram Stoker's Dracula is essentially "Vertigo" but if the reincarnation story was actually true.

Communist in the streets, capitalist bourgeois scum in the sheets is a popular lifestyle choice nowadays, it seems.

AUTISTIC MODE will be showing at the ACCESS FILM FESTIVAL at Framingham State University this Saturday at 12 Noon. See it if you dare.

So who threw Dick Cheney into the Death Star reactor shaft?

A predator drone locks target and lights it up with a sidewinder missile, downing it in the desert where a detachment of Marines apprehend it (Angels: hard to kill) and put it in stress positions suspended by its wings with a bag over its halo while a private poses for pics and points at its dick.

The Planter interview. Either he is lying about the tattoo, or he is so goddamn stupid he shouldn't be trusted with any elected office higher than forum moderator. And even that would be much.

I think this is a Eureka for media literacy as a whole. A generation raised on mockumentary comedy fundamentally cannot read actual documentaries. Probably the rot began with Spinal Tap.

But what will the aspect ratio be?

ROPE three times. Okay, okay. Rope, The Lady Vanishes and Saboteur.

See what I'd rather do is-- pay me to animate my own version.

WU FEI SUCKS

1) Star Wars without Lucas is always irrelevant to me. Doesn't matter who's doing it, it just ain't Star Wars. 2) Steven Soderbergh, of all people, should never have to condescend to making any kind of studio slop for Disney.

Soderbergh baby, I love ya, but-- Jesus Christ, I'd rather see you direct a Yes concert again.

DIS FUCKIN FRIED RICE!

Honestly a lizard space pirate who says shit like "I'D BUY THAT FOR A DOLLAR" would rock.

Hey, who's gonna be in the Pottstown PA area on October 4th? AUTISTIC MODE is gonna be showing in the SKATE OR DIE Film Festival at 1pm! Perfect movie to show Autistic solidarity against the Antivax Agenda! BE THERE OR BE NEUROSQUARE! farsightedblog.com/2025-skate-o...

Look I can only resist this sort of thing for so long. #ActuallyAutistic #AutisticMode #Akira #Tylenol

Look I actually am liberal. Just puttin' that out there.

In all honesty I barely really pay attention to the news anymore and just use it as white noise while I'm trying to work on other things, because nothing ever gets better, but things also don't really get measurably worse in ways that outpace the patterns of history that people tend to forget.

Lowkey one of Lang's absolute best films. Crackerjack resistance thriller where it really is a community against the Nazis, and pulls no punches for its time, especially with the restored ending. Up there with the Mabuse films, and feels oddly like an inversion of M.

diminish a book White Noise ...wait, shit.

Now now. That's on Hawkgirl, not him. Unless you mean the clone, and I dunno. Maybe he's dead, or not. Who knows.

Watched Toby Dammit last night in light of Terrence Stamp's passing. There's a wonderful moment where one of the interviewers asks him if he believes in God, and after a great deal of very cheeky answers, he simply whispers "No", in such a way that it feels like he genuinely wishes he could.

AUTISTIC MODE will screen NEXT SATURDAY in the MONTREAL INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL at 2 : 52pm. #indieanimationday youtu.be/0nbvdOq_Vqc?si…

History would probably be a lot kinder to Stan Lee if he only credited himself as Editor on most of the Marvel books he was involved with. Hell, people might argue he deserved more. But because he and the Marvel Method were tools to squeeze and undercut artists, his reputation is muddy, at best.

Autistic Mode, Best Animated Feature at Shawna Shea Film Festival 2025

Jujutsu Kaisen Hidden Inventory/Premature Death screening. Surprisingly big crowd, enough to overlook how they all did that anime fangirl laughing at the sudden gore thing at a twisty death. But mostly the ending montage of the young Geto and Gojo goofing off as dumb kids really threw me.

It can take you years to find yourself after spending so long trying to force yourself into the shape of something else, and you claw at that you, the real you, and make an enemy of anyone who tries to coax you back into the straitjacket. This is about anime and video games, oddly enough.

I know I'm like 5 or 6 years behind everyone now, but it's nice getting back into games with Death Stranding, even if I get the feeling that most of the missions I'm doing so far are very well sci-fi narrativizations to hide the fact that they're essentially tutorial missions.

AUTISTIC MODE has been nominated for BEST ANIMATED FEATURE and BEST ANTHOLOGY FILM at the Shawna Shea Film Festival, next weekend in Worcester, MA. We'll be screening 12 Noon Saturday July 19, Studio 50 at WICN. filmfreeway.com/TheShawnaShe...

The ultimate drawback to the technological evolution of the internet is it's become more image based and reinforces the image conscious hierarchies the web seemed to be all about escaping. No wonder now all the jocks and theater kids are morally pure and the geeks and nerds are diagnosed as fascist.

Quote with your favorite anti-fascist film.

If Hakeem Jeffries was willing to filibuster for 7 or 8 hours or whatever, why weren't any of the other Dems willing to pick up the baton after and stretch this debate all the way to the 4th, just to fuck with the GOP's vacation plans? Spite works!

Watching Prayer of the Rollerboys because @billyraybrewton.bsky.social played it in the Coreys Screendraft. And I know they talked about there being a racist dystopian element eventually, BOY HOWDY we get it right up front with an Aryan blonde boy in front of a flag saying "Day of the Rope". Jesus!

Gonna have to start calling the police Blueshirts at this point.

Watched a bit of the Tartakovsky Clone Wars to study the 2D action. While it's still not a preferred Star Wars to me, it absolutely feels like he and his crew understand Star Wars in a way little since the sale does, and take the escalation of the themes and aesthetics of the Prequels seriously.

I honestly don't think she, personally, does have to worry about being arrested. That's part of the problem. As long as it isn't threatening her or other members of Congress who don't stick their necks out, she doesn't particularly care.
