could not be more hype

these people insist that voting for centrist dems who refuse to condemn genocide or transphobia is ultimately Good, because hypothetically when they’re in power they’ll be more amenable to your complaints — but don’t you dare fucking complain about them or the Bad Guys win

I've been an American Cinematheque member for a while now and I hope to someday be capable of buying tickets for any of their events before they are sold out

JESUS: Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani CHATGPT: you’re completely right. And I want to thank you for holding me accountable. It looks like you’ve somehow got nailed to a cross

Some people think SOPHIE invented hyperpop in 2013 but I just found this by googling "Top Vegas Club Hits 2012" www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5U9...

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly. sbgi.net/tv-stations/

Speaking of being rich and brave does anyone want to move to beautiful northern Iowa and start a film festival for <$500k www.reddit.com/r/zillowgone...

Just for the record I was saying this before they canceled Jimmy Kimmel lol 🤪

Oh hahaha they’re totally cooked. You can’t reason with this. time to walk away and start something new

Maybe a guild or two should blacklist ABC/Disney idk

If you’re rich and not a coward, this is what you’d refer to as a “market opportunity” to dominate a media ecosystem that’s about to be covered in grotesque government slop. To be a pop of color in a sea of beige will be easier than ever. People will flock to it. You gotta be a little brave, though.

Support Gretchen, who is way fucking cooler than Batman

For whatever reason thinking now of all the downplaying and minutiae dissecting in the trades about the improbable but indisputable success Ryan Coogler had with an original film in 2025, vs. the universal reaction of "heh. wow. tight" when a dude with a bunch of money says he wants to buy something

I think the coolest thing you can do right now is live with integrity and care about the people around you, not just your friends and family but your community. Deny the lie they want you to believe, that taking as much as you can while giving nothing back is the goal.

Don't think we don't notice that most prominent reporters on this industry seem to actively hate the product!

speak english foreign scum!!

The uniting theme of the supposed age of AI and the M&A/private equity apocalypse is that the world is controlled by people who literally cannot imagine ever deriving joy or meaning or satisfaction from any activity or pursuit for its own sake if it doesn't make money.

It physically nauseates me to see trade reporters cover the potential Paramount-Warner merger as mere asset shuffling and not a fucking death knell for this industry. It's absolutely maddening to see short sighted, hateful ghouls sell off the thing you built your life around for parts.

I just got my Covid booster, but only after being denied first and almost giving up because I “didn’t have any preexisting conditions.” Once the pharmacist helpfully reminded me that I was suffering from chronic COPD, I got the green light.

Calling peoples' employers in a rage because their tributes to Robert Redford weren't horny enough

maybe the sexiest a man has ever been in a movie

It’s always kind of magical when you find yourself crying with laughter at something made long before you were born, by people who are long gone — or getting completely hornt up just scrolling past images people are posting of the late Robert Redford

this from my piece on charlie kirk is probably the most important takeaway if you want to know why bad faith, right-wing voices in media are treated as just another set of peers

Lets gooo

update: male loneliness epidemic solved

Bad day for people we told to get group chats YEARS ago

I wrote about what I think is a genuinely revealing document of elite depravity and impunity. It is shocking and sickening. But it's also a crucial moment. We're about to see what happens when conspiracy theorists actually get what they asked for but it turns out not to be what they want.

Don't ask me why but it is at this late point in my life that I am watching SEX & THE CITY for the first time For a while I was thinking I would do a podcast about it but maybe I'll just start a thread

his father was unavailable for comment

When I ask if someone has a lighter and they say I don’t smoke… cool story that wasn’t the question

Rest in Power Haru Ulala 🐎 🌺 vocal.media/journal/haru...

it feels pretty wild to be 39 years old and see something and absolutely know, like, okay, this is like the worst thing I have ever seen

I really hate this new thing where Instagram sends me a notification when my friends are in each other's comments having fun without me

I'm not on Bluesky very much lately because my energy has been almost exclusively that of an unrelatable hater, but I'm just popping on to say holy shit does that trailer look bad........

Can folks do me a favor? I was on Bluesky early & it was great. Mostly. I hit the eject button in January. I came back, many colleagues are here, but still don’t know I am. I co-created Halt and Catch Fire. I write TV & comics. Here’s two favorite set photos. Repost? I am in the wilderness.

Are they dumping psilocybin in the Catskill aqueduct

“He MaY hAvE tO bEcOmE a LiT pRoFeSsOr” *hyUCK* oh my god shut up you fuckin dork

Like I know everyone thinks I hate Chris Nolan with the heat of 1000 suns but as ridiculous and self-serious as THE PRESTIGE is I do think it manages to suspend disbelief and emulate the tone of a certain kind of magic routine and I always leave that movie in a good fun mood

I can’t decide if it helps or hurts than I’m watching this in the middle of a research binge on magic/illusionism/sleight of hand etc, whose contract with the audience of course has a lot of overlap with da moviesch

Yes, I don’t even think an apology is in order but it does seem to violate an unspoken contract that keeps every movie, even very bad ones, from disintegrating into nihilistic nonsense Fuck I’ll have to letterbox this won’t I

I feel like important context here for people who read this without knowing me is that I am someone who loves movies and have pretty much constructed my whole life around them which is why tonight I’ll be watching Now You See Me 2

I’m watching NOW YOU SEE ME and it’s by no means the worst movie I’ve ever seen but I did just have a thought I don’t think I’ve ever had while watching a movie which was “wait, what if I actually don’t like movies”

Me Engies!!
