Mel Brooks secretly funding Lynch and Cronenberg's æ 'brilliant but hard to sell' post-debut projects while not taking credit because he wanted audiences to take their work at face value w/o the distraction of "Mel Brooks means funny" is the purest thing that ever happened in the US movie industry

If you're in Alabama, and you need a guide to these primaries, I put together a 40+ election guide, where I profile every candidate (bios and key priorities). It's specific to Lauderdale County, but it touches every statewide/federal race! Dm me for the link!

Deeply embarrassing jfc

The world wide levels of cruelty and absolute depravity are breathtaking.

I hate all of this with every fiber of my being.

42 Democrats just joined 192 Republicans to reauthorize FISA Section 702 – a warrantless surveillance law that's been used to access Americans' data. Democratic leadership did not whip their members, enabling them to vote with Republicans and give Trump the surveillance powers.

THAT’S RIGHT!!!!

Esam has beautiful newborns. Please help him and Sahar support their family through this ongoing violence.

I'm only about 150 pages into this and it's already one of the best things I've read this year. HOLY SHIT

Counterpoint: fuck these idiots

"Damn y'all can't go through the Strait??? Oh."

The latest episode of “The Backdrop” is online at @SecondWindGroup.com, looking at the end of Sora, the trailer for HBO’s “Harry Potter” reboot, and the unsettling sense of a modern pop culture calibrated to value what generative AI can produce. WATCH: youtu.be/0TEvK09XVvY?...

Still waiting for a 4K release of this one. Such a beautiful film

This week at @secondwindgroup.com, I wrote about Bi Gan's "Resurrection", which is now streaming on @criterionchannl.bsky.social. Think of it as David Lynch's "Inception", a meditation of films as shared dreams. READ: www.patreon.com/posts/column...

Oh, Bi Gan’s “Resurrection” is streaming on the Criterion Channel now. One of the most gorgeous films of this young year, a transcendental meditation on dreams, stories and movie-making. Think of it as David Lynch’s “Inception,”

Hasn’t been needed the entire time I’ve been playing and covering video games and it isn’t needed now. It’s a choice to use it and nobody believes the excuses when it’s left in the games. Just hurts a studio’s credibility.

I will lay down my life for Coco

Conclave is a perfect movie. No notes, no edits. It's just right.

Ok. I wrote about the Afroman trial, including this incredible image of him being sworn in on the witness stand.

For my newsletter, I wrote about all the ways @katmabu.bsky.social's campaign challenged the conventional thinking about modern campaigning: www.burnsnotice.com/kat-abughaza...

I fucking hate AIPAC dude

Deeply honored and grateful to have the support of Rep. Ilhan Omar, a leader who has never been afraid to put justice, humanity, and the truth ahead of political convenience. Her courage has helped blaze the path for so many of us.

The OBAA discourse was already deeply annoying, but it's insufferable now. Jfc

I decided to read the Bible, and Exod 21:2 destroyed my faith immediately.

I really don't understand the hate Edgar Wright's The Running Man received. It's excellent. One of the better big budgeted films I've seen recently

Lmfaoooo

*gestures at literally everything else they've said and done to literally every other minority in this country*

Sorry but I draw the line at human rights. I'm not compromising on that. If you can't stand up for human rights, fuck you and fuck your shitty campaign. Hope this helps!

Traditional paperback for me

Rest up Tom Noonan. One of the best character actors of his generation, and a criminally underrated writer/director (seriously, watched "What Happened Was..."). What a loss 😔

This is a fantastic video and if you're reading this and you haven't watched it, you should (after you watch Predator: Badlands).

Publicists who represented Johnny Depp during his 2022 trial against Amber Heard charged Jeffrey Epstein five figures a month for representation during 2017, according to invoices in the Epstein Files.

As a leftist, it really shouldn't be hard to criticize Noam Chomsky lol he's literally in those files coaching a notorious pedophile on how to repair his image What the fuck is wrong with yall bro? Fuck Noam Chomsky

I'm especially disappointed at rap niggas cavorting with these fucking sickos just to feel like they belonged with the wealthy class. Them MFs were FILTHY, and you was just in there? Participating!?!?

Welp. (crosses Darren Aronofsky off list of "directors I like")

darren aranofsky can fuck off forever. What a dweeb

She's a real one. But also, what the FUCK

Toughest congressperson in America rears back for a punch, and refuses to cut short townhall, after asshole sprays her with something.

Both of the Safdie brothers are fucking vile for what they allowed to happen on that set. Fucking gross

This must be weird news to see if you’re one of the literally hundreds or even thousands of university administrators who preemptively censored faculty, scrubbed websites, changed the names of centers, etc.
