Had a lot of fun recording this episode with Sarah & MJ. Last Temptation of Christ is one of my favourite Scorsese films so it was a blast talking about its intricacies, history & relation to its source material. Thanks to @letspartymarty.bsky.social! Link in post below 👇😊

Fucking hell. Instagram's "improve your reply with AI". Jesus christ. Outsource communication. Don't be yourself, for God's sake. Let a fucking machine do it for you. Infinitely vile.

While defending the luddite argument in Discord, I stumbled into this IMO succinct explanation for opposing generative AI: At every step in the process, it impoverishes us.

Some people on the Left are more concerned that a candidate is 100% right than that they are WAY better than all the other options. Of course we have to keep pushing for what we want, but lets be honest, we are not going to get Che Guevara as an option to vote for.

You know what? I'd rather share these while they're still up. This is @filmmusicnews24.bsky.social's review on Hallow Road via @moviemarker.bsky.social. Among many inaccuracies, not only is Pike's character a paramedic racing to rescue her daughter–Rhys is in the car with her the entire time.

The Roses (review) - a pale imitation of DeVito’s superior film rather than a modern interpretation of the same story ★★. Review by @calumcooperfilm.bsky.social #TheRoses is playing In cinemas nationwide from August 29. #comedy #TheWarOfTheRoses #filmreview cineramafilm.com/2025/08/27/t...

Just because a man with immoral amounts of wealth tells us that AI is the future, it doesn't mean it has to be the future.

Last repost: it's actually beyond shameful that for almost 3 years now Israel has said "you can't send any reporters in, nobody is allowed to see what's happening in there unless we say so, we're definitely not doing a genocide though" and actual journalists and news publications just went "ok"

I really do worry that young people are going to miss out on the essential growth that only happens when you suck at something and then, through painful self-reflection and effort, suck less.

Even if AI didn’t make it look infinitely worse (& it does) The Wizard of Oz does not, & never has, needed “touching up”. It’s perfect as is & trying to meddle with its joys through AI is quintessentially anti-art. Shame on anybody who thinks otherwise

Keir Starmer, "We will recognise Palestine as a State in September, unless Israel agrees to a Ceasefire." Why don't we just do it now like everybody wants.

The Bad Guys 2 (review) - colourful and playfully silly, with the occasional bit of thematic meat to its animated bones. Review by @calumcooperfilm.bsky.social #TheBadGuys2 #dreamworksanimation #animation #comedy #familymovies cineramafilm.com/2025/07/26/t...

Final vote. 50-50. VP breaks the tie. One single GOP Senator could have stopped this abomination. Saved millions of parents from watching their child go hungry. Saved the lives destroyed when Medicaid disappears. They will all live forever with the horror of this bill.

King Charles charges Coastal Wind Farms hundreds of millions of pounds a year to rent worthless sea bed because he 'owns the sea'. This money is added straight onto your energy bills, then sent straight to him, and he pays no tax on it.

When you condition your audience to view animated originals as "wait for streaming" movies while positioning sequels, spin-offs and remakes as FOMA theatrical events, you get what you f***ing deserve.

Please explain the difference between Feudalism where Lords own everything and you can't afford to buy anything. And Capitalism where billionaires own everything and you can't afford to buy anything.

Obviously it’s all subjective opinion at the end of the day, but also any Pixar ranking list that doesn’t have Monsters Inc in at least the top 5 isn’t worth taking seriously. It’s science 😂

Before Brexit the UK was about as rich as Germany, and richer than France. Now it is much poorer than either, by 2030 we will be poorer than Poland, and by 2040 we will be poorer than all 27 EU countries. The magic of Brexit.

New war, same script.

Trump thought he'd be watching news coverage of his stupid North Korean style military parade. He thought American would cheer him and his fascism. Instead tonight he's watching every city in America, every town, rise up against him. Happy Birthday, Asshole.
