Happy Easter!

I went to see the Format at the Eastern tonight and had no idea who the openers would be. When the band came out, I joked that the bass player looked just like McLovin’ and I’ll be damned but it really was him. TIL Christopher Mintz-Plasse is very good on bass and was having a great time.

When your mom says you already have Jay and Silent Bob at home.

This is absolute trash. Kids are submitting their original art for AP Studio Art classes. Claiming copyright over that work is genuinely evil.

Fascinating story of the 1972 ‘Blue Marble’ first complete photo of Earth from space taken by the crew of Apollo 17 on a Hasselbad loaded with 70mm film. There are definite changes seen now, the shrinking of polar ice caps and expanding desertification.

If they're smart, they've already commissioned musicians to record a slow acoustic version that's properly respectful.

Last year Kanye West took out a Super Bowl ad to sell swastika t-shirts. This weekend he sold out two shows at SoFi Stadium. To all of those in attendance—what the fuck is wrong you. That’s a rhetorical question.

Remember when I said I just passed in the most niche thing I've written in years? This is it. Thank you @horrorgirlprobs.bsky.social for saying "yes" to my whims (again)! www.fangoria.com/total-eclips...

It would be useful if the NYT explicitly stated that the pilot, if captured, would be a POW, that there are laws governing how POWs can be treated, that respect for international law on war shapes how the enemy approaches it, and this is why the US conduct of this illegal war has been so dangerous.

He’s headlining the Hollywood Bowl, and has a Netflix special on tap, so think of Louis C. K. as a creepy sexual predator all you want. No, seriously, think of Louis C. K. as a creepy sexual predator all you want, because he’s a creepy sexual predator.

Great playlist.

NASA just dropped this image of Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch looking back at us. The first woman to ever see our planet in its entirety. I’m not crying you’re crying 🥹🔭🧪 📸: NASA

Still maybe the funniest moment in Film Nerd 2.0 history.

It's all either projection or sales hype. People who were writing before AI are not embracing it, and anyone who saw AI as a way to start writing is not a writer. People who write this shit are trying to sell you something. Fuck them. Fuck AI. Fuck this phony inevitability.

I just wanted to say that @mattielubchansky.com is a national treasure. Every time I get a Patreon update (another awesome well-observed comic) it brightens my day. And her graphic novel Simplicity is a science fiction masterpiece. Y'all should be getting in on this awesomeness <3

Man-Ape gets furious if you pronounce his name like "canapé"

Perfect no notes

I dunno if prologues and epilogues are part of the main story but I do know your publisher should pay you a separate fee and/or offer a contractually guaranteed budget if they expect you to market your own book because that’s not your job nor what your advance or royalties are for.

Keep going. Save yourself.

based on my experiences as a parent i genuinely believe that if someone is feeling irritable the first thing they should ask themselves is “have i pooped today?”

Just gonna add to this with a why-the-hell-not quick excerpt from the DIE HARD book to underline the point: if John McFuckingTiernan doesn't think you should take unnecessary risks, then this bloviating dipshit should fully shut the fuck up

Here's a tip: You can find all 514 episodes of the 1960s prime-time soap Peyton Place on YouTube (and the 1st 166 eps on Shout! Factory DVDs). Each episode takes about 23 mins. to watch. It is unbelievably soothing and, in its slow, ancient way, completely addictive. >

Good to see that in 1985, you could drop the slur "f__g" and the longer version at least eight times in a film and still get a PG. In a Disney film. *sigh* Wild.

Got to see THE LAST FIVE YEARS 25th Anniversary Show tonight at the Hollywood Bowl - starring Rachel Zegler and Ben Platt. Both were great, but Zegler delivered an absolutely superstar performance that tore the house down. A fun show - felt like a special experience to be there live for this.

I got so invested in this, I want to know if the horse got its cake

Nick Offerman is the fucking best in MARGO'S GOT MONEY TROUBLES. The. Best.

guys, bluesky is dying. if we don't start getting more likes, a greedy developer will bulldoze the site to put up a parking garage. the only thing that can save it is for a ragtag crew of misfits to put on one last big concert at the community center.

Good morning. "Jerry Chen Seeking Verification" was a 32-month sociological experiment studying the effects of excessive nagging on social media and its effects on users, conducted by Quinnipiac University. We are now complete with our study; thank you for your time.

At least two Drews agree. This felt like "real" MAD magazine to me.

doing a cover of a song and changing the pronouns in the lyrics to make sure the listener knows youre straight should be punishable by death

“Who cares if it worked or not?!”

Watching the new season of SUGAR. About five months ago, I was driving home from the movies late at night and suddenly found myself in the midst of a film shoot, with a couple of camera cars around me and Colin Farrell driving Sugar's convertible in front of us. LA used to be like this all the time.

Wrote about IN THE LOST LANDS and my love affair with Paul W.S. Anderson. letterboxd.com/abegoldfarb/...

Well, I already hated this fucking dude, but holy cow, this is horrific. If you use OpenAI for anything... at all... I am judging the living shit out of you.

i'm coming over you better not be a skeleton waiter who throws a food tray, misses, then dives to the ground and explodes instantly

When someone calls during The Pitt.

If you're a SHRINKING fan, let me assure you that episode eleven, next week's season (and maybe series?) finale, is going to mess you up.

There is entirely too much Leif Garrett in the film I'm watching.

Losing my mind trying to figure out what this is supposed to mean

You wrote a novel using AI? Cool. It's like that time I ran a marathon using a Ford Focus.

Pam Bondi getting fired for saying everything she was told to say

Here's how to watch Terminator or any other movie in Retro Rewind

Wonderful thread.
