one of my favorite moments in any show ever. i was floored.

outrageous how good this show is. MAD MEN with all the relatable veneer of even corporatized creative labor stripped away and just raw sociopathic math and avarice left over.

we did it! a perfectly structured democracy. it's got checks, it's got balances. this thing is made to last. there's only one weakness: bad guys. if somehow some bad guys who don't care about decorum got elected they could basically just tip the whole thing over. luckily such men are unelectable

The consequences for lying us into Iraq were not only “nothing” but outright rehabilitation of Bush as a “compassionate conservative” who was part of a noble dying breed so why should anyone waste the time justifying this one

As news breaks please be mindful of how you post. Remember: - the government would never lie to you - double check all sources with your chiropractor/astrologist - every tiktok is real

Angela Bassett in Strange Days appreciation post

Terrible, always a total magnet. His story about getting cast in Goodfellas, basically his first movie, is so charming www.avclub.com/isiah-whitlo...

The aged Stranger Things cast dressed as their child selves is so uncanny to see that this photo looks like the end of Possession to me

MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: i got easily tricked by a moron and it took me years to realize it THE MEDIA: wow! may we hear your insights??

wieder einmal zu wenig, aber dafür meist gute Bücher in 2025 gelesen

schlaubi-schlumpfige teutsche Fülletengs, die ihre ausgelutschten Takes aus der US-Presse von vor drei Jahren abschreiben: "Avatar hat keinen kulturellen Fußabdruck🤓" ich, ein simples Kino-Gemüt: "Im neuen Avatar töten noch mehr Space-Wale noch mehr Menschen als im letzten Avatar✊"

In case there was any doubt about where big tech stands.

I'm late to Pluribus but I've seen 6 now and my gosh. Staggeringly well-made, pleasurable television. I'm slightly bewildered by the people who find it slow; I've been mesmerized. Feels like it says something new about the seductiveness of giving in/up and who's cut out for the misery of resistance.

A lesser known great Homer expression is when Bart is peeling up the carpet and Marge gets home and asks Homer why he’s letting him do that

RIP Claudia Cardinale. Much like Robert Redford, she was a rare case of a beautiful performer with a filmography full of bangers who did NOT become right-wing later in life. Here she is punching fascist Brigitte Bardot in the face in Les Pétroleuses (1971).

einzige Serien-Bestenliste des Jahres,die wo wichtig ist: • Star Wars: Andor – Season 2 • The Pitt • Adolescence • The Eastern Gate • The Lowdown • The Chair Company • Pluribus • Death by Lightning • Task • Platonic – Season 2 Reihenfolge hinter den erst zwei änderte sich ständig,daher ohne Zahlen

Always good to keep in mind that Guardian has a partnership with OpenAI.

if avatar has had no cultural impact why do i have to mute the damn word every time this tedious subject comes up

[ the most obviously evil magic sci-fi bullshit concept ever ] This is definitely happening, and it's good

Please, a different discourse. We can’t do this every time.

here's a list of readings on the myth of job replacement by AI. i might turn this into a blog post as a sort of lesson plan for anyone who wants to use it, but it's just a reminder that every time we see "self-driving" cars or delivery robots, invisibilized workers are always behind the scenes.

I've seen this going around today and it's beautiful, so here's a gift link.

Look, I'm sure that Nolan's adaptation of "The Odyssey" will be fun, but I highly doubt it will be as good as the original.

Merry Xmas ho ho oh NOOOOO (what is it with Tim Robinson and Scrooge lol)

muss mich wohl vorerst mit der Widersprüchlichkeit einer Zukunft abfinden, in der wir alle mehr arbeiten müssen, die KI aber in den nächsten Jahren alle Jobs obsolet macht, weil sie angeblich bald alles kann, und grifter CEOs wahnhaften Nonsens wie diesen verzapfen.

Die Gefährten ist schon ein ziemlich guter Herr der Ringe Film #LazyMondayMovie

Parisot (the Director) tells a story about how Tim Allen just started crying after a scene one day "I don't like these feelings i'm having." Says Tim. "I'm going back to my trailor" and walks off. There's silence for a second. "Oh my god." Says Rickman. "I think Tim just experienced acting."

I feel like I'm going to get a lot of use out of this Pluribus screencap

I was just at the gym watching a The Wire s2 episode, and came back to this awful news. Ransone was incredible in that season — so believable as the screw-up determined to live down to everyone's low opinion of him. And great in almost everything else I saw him do. RIP.

billionaire: i have 3 brains. in my skull interviewer: incredible

Muppet christmas carol taught me that the only time I feel anything is when I see a coughing frog puppet on crutches

i’m so happy for him

Öhm … Nein Danke!?

könnte ja durchaus einen guten großen ausladenden Spielberg-Blockbuster gebrauchen, bei einem David Koepp Drehbuch aber immer ein Glücksspiel, kann Rotz wie Jurassic World: Rebirth oder Meisterwerk wie Jurassic Park bei rauskommen www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFe6...

Also we've fetishized "debate” in these spaces as some kind of civic good, when what matters is competence, trust, shared purpose. Medicine, engineering, boardrooms aren’t organized around debate or requirements of false balance. We've poisoned public discourse by insisting it be adversarial.

I also feel like his body of work really disproves the persistent claim that joyful, hopeful, funny, romantic or lighthearted stories are inherently intellectually lesser and can't be Real Art

Rob Reiner credited his dad Carl Reiner and his "second father" Norman Lear for his activism. Losing them all in a span of just 5 years is heartbreaking. Rob Reiner's creative achievements will live on, but his willingness to risk it all for social justice is, for me, his greatest legacy. #FilmSky

bin anscheinend in einer Phase meines Lebens, in der mich allseits gefeierte Filme (One Battle after another, Wake up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery) gerade mal lauwarm zurücklassen und ich bestenfalls allseits ignorierte Filme (A Big Bold Beautiful Journey) gar nicht mal so furchtbar finde.

Rob Reiner & River Phoenix | Stand By Me | 1986 | 🖤

without Rob Reiner’s Castle Rock production company we wouldn’t have: City Slickers, Honeymoon in Vegas, In the Line of Fire, The Shawshank Redemption, Before Sunrise, Dolores Claiborne, Lone Star, Waiting for Guffman, and more - in a six-year period alone

RIP Rob & Michele Reiner His movies gave me so much happiness. He directed the funniest movie I’ve ever watched and provided wonderful straight man support to Christopher Guest in its funniest scene: youtu.be/uMSV4OteqBE?...

Had to track down the Rob Reiner cameo on 30 Rock.
