This is correct

This is correct. People wanted the internet. People wanted smart phones. People even wanted social media. People do NOT want AI and its biggest argument for forcing it on everyone is that it is inevitable so you might as well accept it. It’s a crime against civilization.

Tickets for The Revenant 10th Anniversary in IMAX just went on sale. Just letting you know for no reason in particular…

Apple Music pays around $50 million annually to sponsor the Super Bowl Halftime Show. The NFL pays the performers $1,246 for the performance, the minimum allowable SAG rate for theatrical performances. I love how that's considered peak success in the music industry. 🫠

It was probably difficult to foresee that Trump would put the Kennedy Center out of business.

Fantastic video from a great American.

This box of cookies cost me five bucks and it’s given me 4 consecutive nights of happiness and there isn’t a goddamn thing anyone can do about it.

The universe is a certain way, then you are born. Hopefully when you pass from the earth the universe is a little better for having had you in it. However, if the universe is a better place when you die BECAUSE you died then you’ve done something terribly wrong with your time on the planet.

Holy cow! The Revenant coming back to theaters in IMAX. A brand new book coming out as well!!! It’s been a wild 10 years.

I'm joined by cinematographer ADAM J MINNICK (Vulcanizadora, Relaxer, Chained for Life) to discuss VICTORIA! We get into Adam's punk rock youth, his iconic collaborations with legendary auteurs Aaron Schimberg and Joel Potrykus, & we go deep into single shot movie madness! up now on yr podcast app!

Krista: Should we watch a movie or play a video game? Me: Let’s play that divorce rag doll game then watch that Jim Jarmusch movie Mystery Train in bed. Krista: You crazy, wild man.

The world should not be run by people who don’t live in it.

@kristaawad got her award in the mail today. So proud of her. I’ve never seen one in real life. I probably shouldn’t say this but since YouTube is the only tv show that I watch I guess this is what it would feel like in the olden times when NBC, CBS, and ABC would collectively send you an award.

Not that anyone cares, but going forward, this will be the only place a have my music available online.

Watching M: Son of the Century. It’s intense, stylistic, dark, but overall well done. My criticism is that this sort of portrayal of the rise of fascism over the past decades is what allows recent fascism to rise in the real world because it seems so benign in the real world by comparison.

I never did get around to eating one those damn cupcakes.

Everyone wants to act stupidly but no one wants to be called stupid. Which is a fundamental problem with America in that everyone has WAY too much self-esteem and at the same time, zero dignity.

"both walking tour and talking cure through grief and trauma in New York": featuring fine-tuned performances by @joshuaburge.bsky.social and Chloé Groussard, Alex Andre’s city symphony PRATFALL (2023) is one for Keane-eyed viewers projectedfigures.com/2026/01/03/p...

American modernity: “A.I. is here and if you don’t embrace it then you will fail.” Me: “Welp, I guess this is where we part ways.”

I’ve entered the “slow-cinema” era of my video game playing.

-A living wage -Guaranteed healthcare -The right to join a union -The right to vote -The right to choose when, how, and with whom you start a family -The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence These are the foundations of real freedom.

To be mentioned in this company with these performances this year, it’s wild as hell, Jack! Thank you to The Playlist for digging the film. If you haven’t seen VULCANIZADORA yet, maybe make it your New Year’s resolution or whatever. theplaylist.net/the-31-best-...

Holy cow! Cheers, Sean! Thanks for love naming VULCANIZADORA your #1 Underseen film of the year! Everybody else…make this movie SEEN!

So incredibly sad to hear about the passing of Adam the Woo. He was one of a handful of vloggers that I discovered during Covid lockdown and I became an instant fan. His videos were part of my daily routine over the past 5 years. I just dunno. Man.

Turn off CBS. Leave it off.

Happy winter solstice everyone!

😮oh my! Thank you for the love Film Stage!!!

I’ve had Kingdom Come Deliverance in my library for 4 years and never played. I I just started it. I also purchase Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 while it’s on sale. In case anyone is curious how I am going to spend my winter.

There are no ethics within the mechanisms that operate the United States anymore. The Marshall Plan era of post-WWII and being the idolized by world, the hope of civilization, has long passed. We are much closer to being a banana republic at this point. It’s so disappointing on so many levels.

I’ve been trying to learn the chord progression to Giant Steps (which I probably never will) but it’s great because when someone asks “Hey man, what have you been up to?” You can say “I’ve been working on my Coltrane changes” and just leave at that.

Thank you @thefilmstage.com for putting Vulcanizadora on the blu-ray film gift giving guide! That’s awesome! thefilmstage.com/the-film-sta...

Vinegar Syndrome is having a Black Friday sale! Pick up a copy of APE. The first feature film I made with Joel Potrykus. The one that started it all. vinegarsyndrome.com/products/ape...

Wow. I can actually watch my Detroit Lions on Tubi. What a country.

RIP to the legend Jimmy Cliff, who has sadly left us age 81. youtu.be/-y9Q7ud7Or0?...

The YouTube algorithm feels a bit aggressive these days. I don’t need EVERY recommended new video to be about the The Beatles Anthology rerelease

Krista: What’s your favorite type of cookie? Me: Assorted.

I’m not saying I’ve matured as human being but I am glad I’ve managed my mental health issues enough these days that I no longer feel like the sun mocks me.

Good news

I don’t know how this terrestrial mollusk made it into the house. Lighting quickness has been ruled out.

Wow. An entire generation that hates cinematographers. www.cosmopolitan.com/lifestyle/a6...

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

This morning @kristaawad texted to tell me we can scare away hawks from our roof by putting a fake owl out there. And I finally got to use this classic meme for once in my life.

I dunno, man. I’ve gone into Ralph’s 3 times this week and every time I go in someone compliments my outfit. Here’s the thing, I’ve been wearing the same outfit all week.

During the Criterion half-off sale last summer I went to a few B&Ns all over LA and struck out trying to find Menace II Society on 4k. So when I heard there was another sale starting today well, I finally got to bring it home.

This video is must watch stuff. Eddy Burback is incredible. youtu.be/VRjgNgJms3Q?...

Just Andy.

As many of you know, I am NOT a movie studio executive. But if I were, I would at least TRY putting narration back into movie trailers.

Early morning warm wind in Los Angeles.

Bluesky changed the look of its app icon. Things must be going well.

Arthur Brand, world renowned art crime detective, referred to today’s heist at the Louvre as the “theft of the decade”. This is the third decade of this century. How many art burglaries have been happening that limits this to the “theft of the decade”?
