CFF is the only genre fest that kept virtual access post-pandemic AND screens out AI users. They also run as a nonprofit and could really use the financial support! There's some wonderfully mindbending stuff this year and one of their features is sitting as my film to beat for 2026.

I should say: get a virtual badge to @chattfilmfest.org OR get passes for individual virtual screenings! Treat yourself to something weird and wonderful this week. 🤘 (And if you need suggestions, hit me up.)

Soooo AMERICAN THEATER is BLAIR WITCH, right? It has to be. #chattfilmfest2026 #respectcinema

But but but, is it image, gif, or meme?

If you watch the Obama Library, the World Cup, and the Knicks parade this afternoon -- and nothing else -- you can actually see the America we're supposed to be at age 250

Happy @chattfilmfest.org Chattanooga Film Fest to all who celebrate! It’s the most wonderful time of the year, and it’s not too late to get a virtual badge so you can enjoy the fest from home all next week.

Or, Mr. Barker, you could do right by them after the massive success, because taking a job - any job - on an indie production IS a risk.

Just found out this doorstop was optioned for a film. I have absolutely no idea how, when there is no plot or interesting characters.

I started reading a book that had a great premise & a gorgeous cover. A few chapters in, I felt it was dull, and I debated shelving it. But! I saw an actress I love narrated the audiobook, so I started to listen in hopes that would keep my interest sparked, figuring the story had to start moving.

Meanwhile, the rest of the Newsradio cast is looking like the sexy senior singles in a sitcom about a retirement community.

My cubes are currently being gleamed for the first time.

THIS IS THE MAMDANI EFFECT. 💙🧡 So happy for New York. KNICKS.

Your girl is home alone and up to no good. (Signing up for a Hulu acct I will cancel tmw [because I want to watch the Knicks], eating TJs frozen tacos, wearing no pants.)

Oh, the new season of TASKMASTER is already over? Really?

AI SUCKS. BE A BETTER HUMAN BEING. DON’T USE IT.

Posts like this are why I’m grateful social media exists.

You know @chattfilmfest.org is soon when you get the server invite. 😍 Oh and also:

So happy I got to see the end of that game.

The time that thing from THE FRIGHTENERS poster was coming out of my dogs chest.

this article is circulating with a COMPLETELY bullshit framing and clickbait lie about it, the "ai cybersecurity" firm is actually training AGAINST AI and the conan series is about helping people spot deepfakes and other gen-ai material, beginning with the famous robert smigel video mouth sketches

Happy book release day, @craigwallwork.bsky.social 🎉 The Instructional Manual To Being A Vampire is out now!

June Letterboxd favorites: queer & formative, queer informative. This is not new ground, 30 years on, but they were foundational for small town 90s teenagers like me. For people around my age, these movies immediately come to mind as our first real (mostly celebratory) tastes of LGBTQIA culture.

May Letterboxd favs, oops forgot to post.

There is nothing as crucial as cultivating wonder. Astonishment, as Abe put it. Wonder is cleansing, nurturing; it erases hurt somehow and gives hope when there isn’t any to be had.

Josh Hartnett in 40 DAYS OF NIGHT is Kurt Russell in THE THING? Is that something?

A friendly reminder if you’re attending Tribeca be LOUD about how much you hate their AI programming. Let them know they have a responsibility to human art and creativity. LET THEM HEAR IT. Loud and often.

The JACKASS float at Pride Johnny Knoxville says GAY RIGHTS!!!

High enough that the rice squares in soy milk I’m eating taste both chalky and sweet enough to remind me of my beloved Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cereal.

People like Kane and many many others that do care about human art and the creative process have been a beacon of hope while trying to navigate making art in this current climate.

I mean. Wingard and Barrett have had that soundtrack done forever. I may be unable to temper my expectations. Oooooooh la la ah oui oui!

If you're gay, queer, bi, trans, pan, enby, straight-passing, non-practicing or anyone in between, HAPPY PRIDE YA'LL. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️✨ You're loved. You're seen. You're valued. You're needed.

Is there like, a reason that Talarico’s manhood keeps getting attacked or questioned? Genuinely curious. It feels ultra-focused and like most of the shit coming from the Republican Party, self-hating and sooo snowflakey.

Lots of writing about the OBSESSION/BACKROOMS success puts too much emphasis on YouTube as some magical missing ingredient in studio moviemaking. It's not YouTubers = $$$; it's the mentality of independent creatives who don't wait for a company/producer to notice them = what audiences want.

hope you brought urine!

Ossoff: He’s trying to put his face on the money. He's building a monument to himself . But see, Atlanta, he's doing these things now because no one will honor him when he’s gone… because he's a failed president and a national disgrace.

If you want to keep those BACKROOMS creepypasta vibes going, might I recommend you go see a Man about a Tape?* *MAN FINDS TAPE, on VOD wherever you get your liminal spaces and mini-DV horror and 📼📼📼 and 🪱🪱🪱 and 💀💀💀

happy birthday america, i got you the corpse of a 30 year old one hit wonder shuffling around in front of a fight pit next to a giant hole in the ground that used to be the east wing all at the pleasure of an octogenarian rapist with dementia

BREAKING: Beloved rock trio Shallow Gravy have withdrawn from the Freedom 250 Celebration.

Can’t tell if I’m getting sick because my partner has a respiratory infection and bronchitis, or if it only feeeeels like I’m getting sick because I dusted an absolutely caked with dust ceiling fan yesterday and likely ruined my sinuses with the fallout. Stay tuned!

If you showed me this image 10 years ago I would’ve thought it was the Onion or a press image for an Idiocracy sequel

the only data centers i care about are the minds of my beautiful friends!!!!!

Timeline cleanse: Fatigue II by Ukrainian artist Mihail Zablodski renders exhaustion as a kind of beautiful annihilation. Suspended between drowning and serenity, the figure exists in the aftermath of resistance; where consciousness dissolves into stillness before it can become grief.

A little sketch of Orson Welles

Yesterday, for an upcoming guest on @itsthehippocket.bsky.social, I watched THE AMERICAN FRIEND, followed by RRR. What the best movie whiplash you’ve ever unintentionally given yourself?

Genuinely, don’t be on ANY site where you have to curate away the “nazi shit.” It’s so insane to me this is a debate or novel concept. NAZIS = BAD. But yeah, fun.

It’s this simple. Just get the fuck off of Twitter. You can stay on bc friends are there & you remember what it used to be, & continue to support one of the worst mfs taking in oxygen OR You can stop contributing to his pockets & bought audience, & try to educate your friends to do the same.

We haven't solved the power issue. Or the cooling issue. Or the chip availability issue. Everyone's power bills are going up. We created a new mental illness called Ai psychosis responsible for actual suicides. And our model is just wrong 9% of the time. But you're just not evolved enough to get it
