Well I finally did it. I caved. I did the thing I said I would never do. I bought a pair of Crocs. (But they're Simpsons Crocs because you gotta stay on brand)

I love a clever witticism as much as the next guy, if not more. But I can honestly say the extremely long pee gag in AUSTIN POWERS is *maybe* the funniest thing ever committed to film. youtu.be/WlgD5JiWuXE?... (Sorry for the awful frame interpolation, it's the only clip of the scene I could find)

@gruber.foo I sent this via email but know social is sometimes better, but thought you would dig this update of the HAL 9000 project. www.fluffytech.co.uk/fluff/the-ha...

The “Apple has given up on Liquid Glass” takes are hilarious to me. It’s the third developer beta. We’re not even at public beta 1 yet. Things are going to continue to evolve over the next two-three months. Not to mention the people complaining it was too extreme are now saying it’s too mild.

I wish private equity could buy climate change so it would stop working

is it pedantic to point out that this is a production still from "Jaws: The Revenge" (1987)

I’m sure Rolling Stone’s review is great, but you should read mine instead! thatshelf.com/snow-white-r...

It was a blast to chat with #TheSimpsons showrunner Matt Selman about all things movies and Simpsons! Check out the full interview for all the juicy details. springfieldgoogolplex.com/podcast/inte...

boy Ontario is just so thoroughly squandering this moment

the 2025 Canadian Screen Awards are this weekend! You still have time to catch up with the nominees I made a guide to where the films are available to stream, rent, or buy digitally. https://awesomefriday.ca/2025/05/home-video-the-2025-canadian-screen-award-nominees/

Land of Chocolate. No question. A truly perfect animation cue.

Probably the worst thing about USB-C is the fact that I now have so many of these cables but have no idea which can be used only for charging purposes and which are actually useable for data transfer. And on top of that, which of them are actually Thunderbolt speeds.

As a long time advocate of physical media, it bums me out how Blu-ray essentially killed the art of DVD menu design. And it's even worse on 4K.

Intrigued by the newer editing features in @riversidefm.bsky.social but bummed to see you can only export to Final Cut Pro or Premiere. We do an audio only podcast and would love to export to Logic like we can with Descript.

Maybe they should have thought twice before helping to get him elected?

This fact breaks my brain, but also serves as a reminder that as an art form, film is still INCREDIBLY young.

Jaws is further from us now than Jaws was from The Jazz Singer.

Fellow editors: working on a project set-up as a Premiere Production. Looking to collaborate remotely with an assistant editor. Does anyone have any experience using LucidLink to do so? Would I need to use something like PostLab in order to do so? #postlab #premierepro

The more I use it the more convinced I am that nobody at Apple uses Apple Music for Mac. Or if they do, they do not have a library outside of the Apple Music streaming catalogue. How is this app STILL this terrible?

TIFF adds International People's Choice Award after Life of Chuck ruined things for everybody. variety.com/2025/film/gl...

My hot physical media take: slip covers > steelbooks.

Lego Simpsons returns after 2016 with a Krusty Burger set. It will be available to purchase on June 1st and will cost 209.99$

This is just a quick little PSA to let you all know that the complete series of ER is currently on sale on iTunes for $25. That's 331 episodes of television for twenty. five. dollars. I'm bad at math, but that's like, pennies an ep. https://cheapcharts.com/fwd/7GkN

I've always wanted to see copyright reform, but... uhhh... not like this.

Every once and a while I remember this scorching hot take from @natestorring.bsky.social and it makes me laugh out loud.

It's so incredibly frustrating that with every new iteration of Descript it seems to be worse. For example: they've seemingly removed offline caching of files. I guess to save storage on local devices? But when the service is down, like it currently is, it means I literally cannot use the app.

Fuuuuuuuu... Ever since I heard the Polygon news I kept thinking "but they kept Pat right? THEY KEPT PAT RIGHT?" Pat rules. I hope he lands on his feet. Really good photo of Toad in hand.

Feels like a MONEYBALL kinda night...

Bro would pull a Mr Burns blocking the sun plot at this rate

‘Kennedy told reporters that there were "many, many good ways to treat measles and doctors need to know that and to know those methods.’ One problem; there is no treatment for measles. Signed, a doctor who’s been forced to deal with measles because of this stupid fraud.

What happened with Polygon today is so fucked. Vox Media has made some atrocious decisions in my six years here but this is really something else. And to do this in the middle of us bargaining a new union contract, where they scold us for asking for better protections, is just unconscionable.

This is a real fun one that includes deep dives into the most important film in the Bond franchise, a discussion of Bond's future, and me singing one helluva rendition of the theme tune.

Hey, at least *some one* in the press is saying it, even if it's Rolling Stone.

“The scientists I know … are terrified."

This is a joke for, like, five people.

Toxicologist here! This will improve the health of zero Americans. Current synthetic food dyes are not causing health problems, and are often times used because they are actually safer than natural food dyes. Reminder that guns are the #1 cause of death of children but we are going to ban food dyes.

Happy to report that, yes: SINNERS is in fact awesome!

Any of my followers here have a direct line to Sarah Polley? We're hoping to speak to her for @simpsonsfilmpod.bsky.social and sadly Twitter isn't the easiest way to reach out to filmmakers like it used to be.
