I am scarlet for you if you think an appropriate response to suspected genAI in your winning competition entries is to ask a chatbot if it agrees with the allegations.

With James Browne as housing minister, rents are starting to Get on Up.

It's quite funny that a Simpsons *parody* of a famous story inspired a filmmaker. (The Monkey's Paw, in this case.)

"Turns out that new Paul Schrader character was actually Paul Schrader."

The Cure, Placebo and The Vaccines should go on tour together.

I'm just a boy, standing in front of a pub, asking them not to turn up the volume when a match is on.

Lady working in the cafe just said "have a good weekend" to me as I was leaving. Tuesday is the new Friday!

I dunno, garda recruitment campaign. Shouldn't "worth doing" be the minimal threshold for any job?

Every single time I go on threads I see an utterly terrible take. (He's referring to/misunderstanding Obsession.)

this feels like the crux of things, and I don't see it highlighted enough: being creative is fun! i want a machine that does my laundry so i can focus more on making art, not the other way around!!

Musk sobbing furious tears that Odysseus returns to his family in the end

IMHO Michael Johnston (star of Obsession) looks like a young Billy Crudup.

Probably Supergirl (1984)

When ChatGPT calls you Shirley instead of your real name, check if your phone is in airplane mode.

Great news! Darach is one of my favourite writers and one of my favourite people.

I love how we keep inserting this notoriously unreliable tech into more and more spaces.

Finally, Ronald Reagan can rest in peace, knowing that children will no longer have to learn that some white people were the bad guys in that whole slavery thing.

Bouncy castles in May.

Some people just refuse to believe that others enjoy literature or art or subtitled films or non-famous musicians. It's both really weird and surprisingly common.

I'm begging film websites and magazines to stop reporting Elon Musk's garbage pop culture opinions.

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 1387: Character names are more believable if they are appropriate to the character's background, generation, culture, region. That doesn't mean you can't have a character with an unusual name: but you still need to know why their parents chose it.

I bet theres at least one bouncy castle company owner who got out of the business just before they became synonymous with communions.

Can't stop thinking about Obsession (appropriately enough). An absolute knockout. boxd.it/enjvw5

In that film Thief, James Caan uses a blow torch. And his girlfriend is played by Tuesday Weld!

The Society of Authors has launched a “human authored” stamp so I think this is where it’s all going. A bit like the old Guaranteed Irish stamp. Guaranteed Human.

I just finished the first draft of a new script! Obviously there's loads more work to be done in new drafts, but writing 'The End' always feels good.

If the next Bond is a white guy (highly, *highly* likely) that'd be a shame. I can think of at least four actors off the top of my head who are unlikely to get the role but who'd absolutely crush it.

We watched this with our 10 year old daughter recently and it holds up ridiculously well. The rock songs work a treat, Ledger is adorable, and Bettany was robbed of an Oscar nomination. It has a lovely tactile feel too - no cgi. Really funny, charming and inspiring. Better than you remember.

I am convinced that they named a character 'Monica' in Hacks just so they could write this joke.

Imagine being less popular with voters than a career criminal.

girl are you Christopher Nolan's adaptation of The Odyssey because you haven't even gotten here and a bunch of weird dudes are already whining that you weren't created specifically to meet their expectations

Ireland has *immeasurably* benefited from immigration. Despite its problems (none of which were caused by immigrants) it is a vastly more interesting, vibrant - and *fun* - place than it was in the grey dreary miserable 80s thanks to immigrants. And anyone who walks through Dublin city centre and...

Archives aren't dusty, and if cataloguing was funded properly we'd "find" a lot more stuff!

Perhaps it’s because he’s a fucking racist

Peter Jackson used to be such an exciting filmmaker. Now, every project he announces sounds like it could be used for CIA interrogations.

interesting rationale from a prospective juror in the Elon Musk Twitter stock manipulation case

The AI books are killing me.

What's your favourite streaming comedy series starring a Wedding Crashers alumnus as a washed up middle aged golfer?

Would be good if performers, musicians, writers, and other creative workers insisted on organisers not using genAI for advertising festivals, shows and events they're taking part in, in solidarity with visual artists, because it's absolutely everywhere at the moment. We need to stick together!

Huge news! I'm co-producing Alexandre O Philippe's new doc IN SEARCH OF NOSFERATU. Our team (including @pattonoswalt.bsky.social) is scouring the world for uniquely aged prints of Murnau's classic. 🚨 CAN YOU HELP? 🚨 Any leads on old prints, VHS, etc, please hit me up! Our treasure hunt is global!

I've a complicated relationship with Twilight. The movies aren't great, but they've had a massive and positive impact on cinema by launching Kristen Stewart (and Pattinson, for that matter).

Remember when EVVVVVVVVVERYTHING was going to be on the blockchain? Remember how so many people say AI is inevitable so just start using it?

The real message of Frogger is the dangers of commuting in a city that doesn't have reliable public transit.

This is very funny. I love how she just powers through with the same points after the boos. Also tbh, it gives me hope. Young people know what's up.

Aldi and Lidl are the Bill Pullman and Bill Paxton of retail.
