Just fyi this is one of the many reasons Californians don’t like Newsom. A 5% tax on our 200 billionaires would prevent a healthcare collapse from the ACA subsidies going away and he’s opposed to it.

Stoked to have a physical release of our film from @shudder.com & @vinsyn.bsky.social w/ a Wild limited ed slipcover by @slimyswampghost.bsky.social & New essay by one of my fave writers @aheartofgould.bsky.social vinegarsyndrome.com/products/the...

Mamdani took over the @NYCMayor account on Twitter but old Eric Adams tweets are still active. That means Mamdani's name and face shows up for old tweets he didn't send. You're probably going to see a lot of screenshots like this where Mamdani appears to praise Netanyahu, but they aren't by Mamdani

My New Year’s resolution is to be even more of a hater to “A.I.” A soul-murdering scam to create a generation of dead-inside drones - if you use it on the reg you’re a clown at best and if you promote it you’re lower than the shit on Satan’s hoof, sorry I don’t make the rules etc.

Immabout to eat some Chinese food, watch a movie or two, and fall asleep somewhere near midnight. Try not to burn everything down, ya animals.

We all read some bad books this year. I didn’t finish some and had to write negative reviews here and there. However, what I really want to hear about is the stuff that blew your mind, that made you think, that stayed with you. Tell me about the cool books you loved this year.

Nine Marx Bros. movies are on TCM New Year’s Eve from 5:30am-8pm ET. Six of the films aren’t on any subscription or ad-supported streaming service, so don’t miss out. www.tcm.com/schedule #FilmSky #TCMParty

"What was your biggest impact on the Internet?" I drew the original of this. (I storyboarded and assistant directed on this episode.) (Fry, "Shut up and take my money")

I read 49 books this year, one shy of the 50 I wanted to get to but, hey, I got really close. These were the first I'd considered my favorites.

Swipe file.

At first I thought the Six Million Dollar Man was sassily marching past with a boombox, taunting Bigfoot with loud music, and Bigfoot was yelling, "ArrrrrRRRR! TURN IT DOWN!!! I do not like Kool & the Gang!"

Very honored to be the one to let most of you know these exist.

This is about A Woman Under the Influence but it is also a lot about saying fuck corporations, be uncomfortable, make independent art—even if it doesn’t pay off in your lifetime

This guy escaped from a Coen Bros movie. A+.

Is it that difficult to conceive of someone with actual ideological commitments, who supports unions not for transactional reasons but because they genuinely believe in workers' power? nymag.com/intelligence...

The right #1 and the right #13.

jeremy strong in the springsteen movie looks like they made an oscar bait minions adaptation

"everyone grieves differently" Erika Kirk:

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

Read THE SOCIAL NETWORK 2, and it's interesting how different it is than the first film. Sorkin's in THE NEWSROOM mode this time, and the entire point of the film is the way people get radicalized by social media. Really curious to see how it comes together.

FACKHAM HALL doesn't land every joke. Not even close. But as with THE NAKED GUN earlier this year, it's nice to see people making movies that are unapologetically silly and throwing out six punchlines per minute.

So @lexialex.bsky.social filed this appeal but is only getting automated replies @support.bsky.team very disappointed given @aaron.bsky.team also lives in Ireland. Have they not taught you anything about solidarity with Palestine?

If you can watch the scene in Pluribus when Kusimayu's pet goat cries as she abandons it forever, and still be on the side of the hive-mind, you just don't fucking get it, do you?

I don't know how many times it needs to be said that you absolutely should not let fucking "AI" anywhere near your legal contracts, either in creating them or evaluating them, but apparently it needs to be said at least one more time, so allow me to say it again, here, right now

RIP Claudia Cardinale. Much like Robert Redford, she was a rare case of a beautiful performer with a filmography full of bangers who did NOT become right-wing later in life. Here she is punching fascist Brigitte Bardot in the face in Les Pétroleuses (1971).

This is just going to always be my go-to response to this kind of thing anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/h...

Three more movies to see this year before I am "done" with 2025. MARTY SUPREME. NO OTHER CHOICE. And SONG SUNG BLUE. Let's see if I can get this done.

Watching THE GREEN KNIGHT again

If you're a monster movie kid, interested in fandom or film SFX, ck out the 2012 Bob and Kathy Burns doc on Tubi w/footage of the prop museum, vintage footage of the fabled live Halloween shows, the gorilla suits, careers, etc. So nifty even John Landis couldn't spoil it. tubitv.com/movies/10004...

I just heard the news that Bob Burns passed away. He was one of the most generous, big-hearted people I've ever met, and every minute spent in his presence was a gift. He was the very best of what fandom can be.

You inspired me with your comments across various social media platforms, so I compiled them & recorded a video with everyone's advice in 1 place. I'd started this tiny YT channel to focus on helpful things re: chronic pain, etc, so I added this caregiving video here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7II...

Toshi was just a wee bairn when STRANGER THINGS premiered. He's 20 now. His response to the latest episodes summed it up for me. "Terrible, terrible writing, and I kinda don't care. I'm invested enough, and it's directed like everything matters even when it's silly. It's time for it to end."

another robot highlight for 2025: man wearing humanoid mocap suit kicks himself in the balls

what's a matter babe you hardly touched your clud sandwich

So? Tax them anyway.

I was going to post Elisabeth Moss talking about how “Fred Armisen’s greatest impression is that of a normal person” but when I looked it up to get the wording right I learned AI has somehow turned it from being a scathing post divorce condemnation to being a really nice complement

NW: a doc about a beautiful woman who photographed beautiful women. When it comes to the adult entertainment industry, @therialtoreport.bsky.social has been doing yeoman's work (see attached). Mary Harron's Bettie Page biopic has its merits, too. In her film, Sarah Paulson plays Bunny Yeager.

Okay, this one hit WAAAAAY too fucking close to home.

That is deranged. Don't do this.

goodnight horror fam 🖤😈🫶

My final Directed By Women Viewing Guide of the year features 70 new releases (and restorations) that I have recommended throughout the year that you can now watch on streaming or rent, just in case you missed them during their theatrical release (plus some streaming films that bear repeating).

🔥I didn't make this, but someone posted it on FB and it's an amazing resource! Please share. #filmsky @timwestland.bsky.social @leahfromsd.bsky.social @rachelsl.bsky.social @firstglancefilms.bsky.social @cindybegel.bsky.social #screenwriting #filmmaking #moviesky #filmmaker #crew #tv #movies

THANK GOD it’s FRIIIIIIDAY! A fresh ep of “A Couple Old Fashioneds” is LIVE! This week’s theme:”Down But Not Out!” What films were discussed? (HINT:PORTRAIT OF A LADY ON FIRE & THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK!) Watch on YouTube NOW to find out!! Please LIKE and SUBSCRIBE! www.youtube.com/watch?v=_S3J...

Can we fill the TL with suggestions of untapped archives/collections? That would be a lot of fun! I think there's quite a bit of material in the Gregory Bateson papers at UCSC Special Collections that has yet to be written about.

In the spirit of the season, I want to offer my fellow historians and other scholars the gift of an amazing, largely untapped archive. Ladies and gentlemen, the John Doar Papers at Princeton. 🗃️

One of the things I was most glad to talk with Rian Johnson about was working with his cinematographer Steve Yedlin (he also shouted out his production designer Rick Heinrichs) on these remarkable sequences 📽️ Read the full @ebertvoices.bsky.social interview here: www.rogerebert.com/interviews/c...
