We were robbed of a Mel Brooks fantasy film

Trump rule is to deny everything, accuse everyone of the terrible things you are doing, and if you are doing something horrific no one has brought up yet, announce how brilliant you are at not doing that horrible thing.

In a real apocalyptic situation, I guarantee a dozen people any of these fantasy preppers trust has already quietly come up with a plan to murder them and take whatever "foolproof" bunker or escape they've come up with. Their lack of awareness about other human beings will always be their downfall.

Minnesota is the best of us.

chat,

Me after arguing with liberals on Bluesky for two hours

imagine if trump has just had a passive presidency, took the win and just stayed the course, instead every single one of these politicians just says terrible things all the time it's wild

one of my main problems with politics is the insistence upon labels. saying "i'm a socialist" or "i'm a capitalist" or "i'm a communist" - I don't give a shit, what are you doing, talk about what you are doing, what are you policies, what are you actually changing

we can talk about the role of storytelling and how every brand wants to build a studio and hire creators but most people are actually really bad at storytelling. the more you continue to box in storytelling, the more you templatize is, the more you water it down.

the thing that's sorta shocking to me is how just because the president says something is how many people just show their ass and listen to him like it's some sort of cultural shift because one leader says something. ruling by fear is so old school bro

Something shifted in the culture in the last few days where we are both waiting for the next shitty thing to drop while celebrating how great we are as people and how much we are not controlled by our rulers distinctly america

when Han Solo says "I'll see you in hell" in Empire Strikes Back does that imply some sort of space satanism

the states should try this

Battlestar Galactica "33" seems to own this category. After that, it is a battle for second place.

been thinking today about how america, but especially congress, and especially the senate, has gotten entirely too used to being able to blow off just about anybody they feel like and in a crisis moment cannot even remember how to pretend to give a shit properly anymore

verizon has been down all day and I'm just like what so I don't get a refund for that why

The poster for my next film

ICE killed a Black man, Keith Porter, 7 days before Renee Good, and I hadn't heard about it until today. His vigils went unnoticed. His life came and gone and America forgot to blink. Two Americas.

No comment not my dog or pile of books

Every time I hit my head on a piece of imaginary paper I pull out a pencil ✏️

I’ve hit an artistic wall that I gotta break

One battle after another is 100% this years Oppenheimer

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

New Chappelle is incredible

Yuuuu

Why am I not verified

I like art

This was cool

The part of Marty Supreme where he goes full Supreme is excellent

“You don’t know what kind of havoc that wreaked on my life, man… they ran my pregnant wife off the road twice. They sat in the canals behind our house with bullhorns.” Hunter Biden tells Shawn Ryan about the harassment Trump provoked against him

Jake Sulllllyyyyy

This is what building resilience looks like - it's creating networks and pathways as well as creating art and it's also what I'm up to at the library

A Christmas miracle! After half a year, I've finished my look back at all the UC Gundam works I've both revisited and watched for the first time over the last 5 years. Check it out! bit.ly/AHGundam3

PVC piping highly underrated

Every year we gather to praise the turning of time

The making of art stamps more meaning into the subjective sense of false political reality

I can’t qualify

Begins with the atmosphere river of Saint Nick 🎅

made a youtube video this week where I not only spilled coffee on my shirt, filmed it in the mess of the side of my apartment to bring you a screenplay I miss

CLOUD ATLAS: I still will shout from the top of the valley that this is one of the finest films of the 10s. The casting controversies, the earnestness, the multilinear storytelling… none of it changes my mind one iota. It’s a masterpiece, and I am thankful I saw it the way I did, at Fantastic Fest.

This continues to be a real issue that our film Impulsion touches upon, amongst other things

I strongly suspect many people would be a lot less aggressively anti-AI at this point if they hadn’t just spent two years feeling constantly pressured, often by very unpleasant people and actors, to use it Or Else

Brainworm bullshit this is what aliens look like this man is possessed by a demon

We live in a weird time. It’s only right to get weirder yourself

Okay... ...absolutely this is a problem. But even if we removed AI, it wouldn't change the core problem of our systems of peer review that existed well before AI.

Oh we know but we gotta be louder about this shit and fill it up in our heads

Endhitttification

Therapist: Mark Hamill Kamille isn't real, it can't hurt you Mark Hamill Kamille:

I think Joyce Carol Oates has managed to be impossible to milkshake duck. Not because she hasn't said problematic things - she has. But she has said them in service to no higher goals. She's not trying to take over the government, or start a cult or a movement

Every time someone’s like “put that in the louvre,” my head now goes “and then steal it from the louvre, the security password is louvre”
