A memorial-service reminder that there are no feelings about Kirk you are required to "respect." He was an unregenerate bigot and misogynist who seized on a shrewd grift and used it to make our world worse. I fear that we can't yet measure his legacy, but that's all he deserves to be remembered for.

Netanyahu: ‘These So-Called Genocide Experts Have Probably Never Committed A Genocide In Their Lives’

I've seen several online film guys say NETWORK is dated and I'm over here telling you this film will never date. In this video essay by myself, Aaron Aradillas and @mattzollerseitz.bsky.social years ago, we were putting together films that covered these same themes about media over different eras.

More than that. "The FBI ***recorded*** Tom Homan taking the money "after indicating he could help the agents — who were posing as business executives — win government contracts in a second Trump administration."

Soon all these corrupt clowns will end up behind bars.

The Hollywood Reporter just published a nice oral history of Ron Howard's Apollo 13 (1995) by @aaroncouch.bsky.social I recommend that all fans of this film read this article, but in the meantime, here are some good quotes. 🖖 1/18

"Our industry faces the most sophisticated, venomous, creeping evil in America’s history. There’s no standing above this conflict. No impartial observers. If you’re on the sidelines you’ve made a choice and must live with it." deadline.com/2025/09/ando...

28 years later, L.A. Confidential is still a flawless crime classic. Cinephilia & Beyond looks at how Curtis Hanson built a timeless noir: cinephiliabeyond.org/laconfidenti...

Did Iger not think perhaps doing this would hurt attendance at Disney World? They keep acting like Jimmy Kimmel is some marginal comedian, as opposed to someone who represents the mainstream.

How do you reinvent Star Wars? Kissing Trump’s ass is not exactly the best way to get people into the theaters. We’ll listen to Luke Skywalker and skip the movie: “I stand with Jimmy Kimmel. PERIOD.” www.theguardian.com/film/2025/se...

The degree to which the entire creative community is massing against Disney right now should not be underestimated. There are people who are staying silent because they don't want to make it more difficult for Iger to walk this back. If he doesn't, I believe things will get much noisier.

35 years later, Goodfellas is still untouchable. ⬇️⬇️⬇️ cinephiliabeyond.org/goodfellas/

What a bunch of delusional lunatics. Tesla is on a sure path to bankruptcy.

A humble, obedient Jon Stewart heaps praise upon America's Glorious Leader, Fuckface Von Clownstick, and provides an FCC-approved refresher on the rules of free speech in the wake of Jimmy Kimmel's suspension. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GXN...

“Maybe I met him on some boys’ trip? I feel like I’ve seen his penis before. Have we ever gone swimming at the same time? You have a mole right here under your rib cage, right?” said Trump

And this is how you can cook with those damn AI glasses. Tens of billions of dollars lost like a fart in the wind. Let this be a lesson to all who swear by and put money into AI.

We almost missed the news of Zuckerberg's fiasco with "the first high-resolution AI glasses." *laughing hysterically* futurism.com/mark-zuckerb...

I stand with PBS. I stand with NPR. I stand with Stephen Colbert. I stand with Jimmy Kimmel. I stand with the First Amendment. PERIOD.* *Also #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files

This is it. This is all Jimmy did. He didn’t bash Charlie Kirk for his racism, even though frankly, that’s an easy joke to make. He mocked Donald for being more concerned about his fucking fraud waste and abuse ballroom, than he was about the loss of his “supposed” friend, Charlie Kirk.

Posted on TCM's YouTube channel two days ago. Good timing.

Writers Guild protest is starting now at the Disney gate in Burbank….

Trump's silencing of news orgs and late-night hosts is breathtakingly corrupt, even by the standards of this administration- a thuggish surge of extortion and intimidation of critical voices which shows no signs of abating. This is a fucking crisis. My latest, for @opinion.bloomberg.com (gift link)

I'm seeing way more posts today about Jimmy Kimmel than Charlie Kirk, in case you want to understand the difference between real famous and podcaster famous.

“It’s ridiculous. You can’t go around firing somebody because you’re fearful or trying to suck up to an authoritarian criminal administration in the Oval Office, that’s just not how this works.” deadline.com/2025/09/davi...

Spineless Disney needs to be punished for that shameless kiss on Fuckface Von Clownstick's ass. This is not North Korea. We're glad people are canceling their Disney+ subscriptions in droves; a hat tip to Lindelof, and we invite others to join him.

Yes, the war in Gaza is a genocide. I hope you’ll take a moment to read my op-ed here:

He represents the idea of how someone can waste their life being obsessed with prolonging it.

Freelance illustration gigs drying up. Ad agencies using Midjourney instead of hiring human artists. Costume design turned over to AI wholesale. Good work vanishing. These are the stories of working visual artists, who describe losing jobs, wages, and hope as their clients and bosses embrace AI.

I get it if people want to avoid Marky Mark (who is actually decent in the film), but LaKeith Stanfield as Grofield is the real reason to see it

Congrats to Dan Gilroy for winning Best Writing in a Drama Series for Andor!

The world is stupid because it doesn't understand what kind of game this is. This interview is actually a very well-prepared trap for Altman and OpenAI. Pop quiz, hotshot! Tucker is Kobayashi. Who is Keyser Söze in this story?

This interview is actually a very well-prepared trap for Altman and OpenAI.

We'd rather burn in hell than say "well done, Tucker Carlson," but this is damn close. Just look at Altman's body language. We are absolutely convinced that Suchir Balaji was murdered. The truth will come out eventually. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Kmp...

In my top 5 Carpenter. Every time I watch it, the movie gets better and better.

This is one of my favorite horror movies of all time, it expertly works with the themes of cosmic horror to deliver a chilling masterpiece rooted in two existential questions: How do we know if anything is real? What happens when our view of reality no longer matches the world?
