what the fuck are we doing here

After the last 2 days, I'm confidently convinced Eddington is perhaps the movie key to diagnosing the decade, if not the whole 21st century. An inverse Fukuyama, a piece of fiction that articulates a stronger truth: History does not end, it continues ceaselessly in increasingly stupid ways.

Testament to spike lee that highest 2 lowest is by no means a top five film in his oeuvre but has like four sayings that could be considered a top five scene of his career as a director. There's one in particular I paused and rewatched like four times

look at this tiny fucking idiot

I don't know if you know this but Empathie is the best Canadian television series in a decade, maybe more, maybe ever.

Labor day

Your company report on not using slavery is raising a lot of questions answered by your company report on not using slavery

Dance Dance Theme School of Dance Theme

Tried HEMA today, feeling kinds of pain I've never felt before

Saw my pilots smiling laughing together as they walked down the jetbridge we are so safe

who called them Mike Flanagan’s frequent collaborators and not the Clanagan

the first civilian humanoid robot is now selling in china and this video sort of mentally broke me. like something out of the background of a mid budget sci fi film and I can't comprehend it as reality. its messing with my brain.

Saw F1 and and came out of the theater to a double rainbow, Vibe shift incoming

Starting a GoFundMe to rescue the Raps anyone in

My outside picks were Fury Road and In the Mood for Love, but this is emotionally where I'm at and I don't regret this list.

The separatist party in Alberta winning 20% of a rural by-election is a really funny portent of really shitty things to come

Had an AI pass from a producer today on some pitch materials -- the note I got back alluded to a character dying, when there was an entire paragraph dedicated to how that character does not, in fact die. Obvious hallucination, and it's incredible how quickly this shit is infecting our industry lol

Rw'ing Conan the Barbarian tonight (perfect film, btw) and one thing Arnie understood that his failed successors didn't is the importance of being goofy. So unafraid to get silly on camera. Lose a fight. Faceplant into porridge. The stuff that makes him much more human and vulnerable and likable.

Genuinely think Amazon could capture the dad market forever if they made this crossover happen

"can a phone design cook too hard?" asked and answered

this is such a spectacularly ethical nba finals matchup it almost made me forget about the unethical draft

Really missing my friends at the Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Hospital today

They stole my book and your books and their books and discussed it with each other in detail, and I keep thinking of Aaron Swartz www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

Lost my beloved cat Jeff about a year ago and finally got a portrait of her commissioned, it's about as goofy as she was. By the delightful Kaylee Rose Art

Favorite character in all of Star Trek you say?

In an otherwise pretty meh year for TV, The Pitt and Andor really stood out as tops -- and somehow, The Rehearsal effortlessly eclipsed them both. Still reeling from that finale 12 hours later.

I wrote about the finale of THE REHEARSAL, that rascal Nathan Fielder, and why I think the show is more interested in the lies people tell than the truth they’re trying to hide. In other words: this isn’t about airplanes. For @newrepublic.com newrepublic.com/article/1907...

[guy watching MI:3 for the first time] getting big Alias vibes from this

Thinking about this one today

Me and my wife are rewatching twin peaks and just got to season 3 episode 8 and do you know how lucky you are to exist at the same time that single hour of television does

New headcanon is the anh medal ceremony was simply one small part of a larger medal ceremony that included all my friends from andor

patch notes with threatening auras

One of the things I keep thinking about with Andor, particularly S2, is how much it trusts the viewer. It assumes you're not a moron as you watch it, and can infer things. I like that.

yeah this guy gotta be a top 3 character in any tv show for me

The NBA is rigged and bullshit and hates Toronto inshallah God will have his way with Dallas and Philadelphia

Was such a pleasure to talk about our book The End of College Football with @danielrmorrison.bsky.social. Please listen!

Re that The Rehearsal Piece that's been going around today: if you are a union performer who who flew across the country several times to the tune of $10,000 to audition for a non-union reality show, that really sounds like a you problem.

Alberta Rat Patrol. The thin brown line.

New pope gotta be the second most important Villanova alum after Kyle Lowry

I hope we never get Luthens backstory. I just love the idea he's a small business owner who got pissed off at the Emperors tariffs and started reading Twi'lek Lenin and the hovercycle diaries or whatever

Medium chance that GTA VI single-handedly ends the recession

The funny thing is, so much of Canadian TV is made with an eye to selling in the US market that between this and service production drying up it might actually blow up our industry

Do you think the kaminoans ever invoiced the Jedi for the damage to their landing pad or nah

Also, the Anakin Padme romance becomes a lot less cringe and a lot more understandable when you realize it's a poorly socialized monastic incel and an equally poorly socialized model un kid

When you really think about it, attack of the clones is a film about what happens when you don't hire the right subcontractor

May the 4th folks

Nothing more terrifying when you're just working at home alone and your cat starts doing this out of nowhere for like a full minute

looking for edmonton (or at least canadian) based artists who do commissions if anyone has recommendations.

As a pure survival measure, I don't know how the NDP as a party doesn't threaten to topple the government if they dont put immediate electoral reform into law, which is also why I don't really trust the NDP to do it. Political party of lemmings.
