Werner Herzog has slammed the use of AI in new cinematic releases, saying that films that make use of the technology “look completely dead.” “There are stories, but they have no soul. They are empty and soulless.” Amen to that!

The Days of the Condor is weird movie. Robert Redford goes to lunch, his whole office gets assassinated. He goes on the run, kidnaps Faye Dunaway, makes her take a nap with him, ties her up, then goes out, has a near miss with Max Von Syndow. Comes back and unties Faye, so they have sex (?). 1/2

If anyone knows anything about this ICE agent, you can reach me on Signal at marisakabas.04

Elon Musk does seem uniquely stupid enough to publicly demand the release of files containing the revelation that he went to the island for wealthy pedophiles with the world's biggest pedophile

No F*%king Kings. Get to know committed ❌👑-ers before you see them on the streets October 18. Want and add to this pack. Just cut the ❌👑 emojis, paste em after your name and let me know. #NoKings go.bsky.app/2KsqyNL

Heartbreaking and brilliant. Josh O’Connor is magnetic, Paul Mescal delivers #TheHistoryOfSound #filmsky

Well, this doesn't exactly suck... My darkly comedic crime drama, "The Sad and Tawdry Story of Seamus Lynch," goes two rounds in Austin. Congrats to the other second rounders and big ups to those who advanced past that. Onward! #scriptsky

The right is frothing at the mouth to put the rest of us up against a wall but they wanted to do that yesterday too. The only thing changed is the name they plan to carve on the bullets. The argument isn’t about a martyr justifying violence. It’s about a violent movement seeking a starting whistle.

what a humiliating way for don jr. to find out his dad sends birthday cards.

Help make a movie!

So, I’m inferring that George Will didn’t need a college degree. Other than his PhD from Princeton, or his master’s from Oxford, not to mention his bachelor’s from Trinity. But he surely sent his kids to trade schools…. What’s that?

This right here is kind of everything The difference between produced or not has much more to do with will and persistence than talent

It's a bit weird that you eat oyster crackers with clam chowder. No? Just me.

This lighting couldn't be more on the nose if you tried. From a straight up visual semiotics standpoint, if you didn't know anything about who Miller is or what he's talking about, if saw this clip, you'd code him as "villian." The buffoonish, middle-school grin that Hegseth slips doesn't help

Imagine learning english and finding out butt dialing and booty calls are two different things

Life comes at you fast

It’s wild that the most unrealistic part of Terminator 2 is now the idea of a tech founder being told their creation will enslave humanity and they decide to destroy their product & company.

Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you: Our funding depends on usage. So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.

Dear NYC, FYI:

Happy Gilmore 2 isn't quite as great as 1 (nor could it be) but is nevertheless delightful. I'm sure I won't end us seeing it 10 or so times like I have the first one, but I was amused and entertained the whole way through. #filmsky

this!

I starting smoking and drinking coffee when I was about 14, and my grades started going up at the same time. I was recently diagnosed with ADHD (after suspecting for years) and it suddenly hit me that I was surely self-medicating without realizing it.

I think we have to face the possibility that in the next six months, we’re going to see a leaked conversation between Sexy Anime Grok and Texas Senator Ted Cruz

What about the obvious follow-up: "when will you release proof that the Epstein files were made up by Coney, Obama, Biden (and others)?"

Seems legit. It definitely makes sense that NY DMV would outsource their enforcement efforts to the Republic of Congo.

When Area Idiot Grifter babbles a thing with a timeline more than a single news cycle out, and you print it unquestioningly, not sure "asking the hard questions" should be your slogan, @cnn.com

Yes, it's *definitely* jitters about a candidate who would like to raise the top marginal rate in NYC ($1M+) by [checks notes] 2%, that's softening the lux housing market in NYC and not *anything* else. The last few pieces from each reporter of that article...

Across various private New York Facebook groups viewed by CNN – such as those for residents of the Upper East Side – some users have anonymously discussed potential plans to move out of the city following Zohran Mamdani’s primary win. cnn.it/3IpkOjr

File under "evidence #34859: "Trump is a dipshit too stupid to run a lemonade stand, much less the world's largest economy"

I need a new internet and mobile provider...

The fiscal conservatives in the GOP just added $4 trillion to the deficit to give the wealthiest people on earth a tax cut. The pro-family party just took healthcare away from 17 million Americans to give ICE a bigger budget than Brazil’s military. The single most inhumane bill ever passed.

Disney Reportedly Planning Full Reboot of the INDIANA JONES Franchise

THIS THIS THIS THIS

Almost there... help get this fantastic project over the line

This is the main thing. NYC has maintained the gold standard of civic governance for generations, without a single bad mayor for at least 100 years

Imagine if the Democratic Party actually helped Zohran instead of trying to kneecap him at every step. A better party is immediately possible if they stop shoving money into the anti-trans combination Racism Dial/Money Toilet and instead get behind candidates people actually want.

I hope against hope this is the beginning of the end of the post-Carter "Republican lite" era. And it wasn't just Mamdani, a lot of progressive wins up and down the ballot.

This x1000

YES

Got your gun loaded? It’s not looking like your dick makes it to the end of the week

Let's gooooo NYC!

This is just about the perfect set up to a screenplay wherein the three marine sons risk everything avenge their father's humiliation and kill a lot of people... John Wick v The Three Kings by way of Red Dawn #scriptsky

Me too! Also, fuck Trump

what the fuck is this face? This is a "grampa doesn't understand the rules to the shitty boardgame you're about to play but also forgot his readers" face. Oh, and the ear that got shot off is scar free...
