"I hope the skeptics have been satisfied by my 'puppets are uncanny' argument, because now I have to mount my third point and achieve the hat trick that will seal my grand yuletide theory: Kermit the Frog is the only performer to ever truly embody Bob Cratchit."

I like to imagine that there is a rivalry between two top ham-sniffers: one, a meticulous keeper of precise traditions, the other a brash bad-boy with a colossal nose.

An amateur codebreaker may have just solved the Black Dahlia and Zodiac killings

Such a good essay! Emily St. James nails why there is so much about modern criticism that I find negative and off-putting. I wish critics would talk more about why they love a movie (or even just found it interesting) and less about dissecting the parts they don’t like. Find reasons to celebrate.

If you happen to be looking for bad redactions in a large set of data files today for some reason, there's an open source tool for that.

Ok. Now had a chance to check and, well, at least some docs do appear to be straight up classic redaction fail. And there are some *interesting* bits here. www.justice.gov/multimedia/C...

omg so good. This is a very Guybrush type origin story

Y’all know we have a tool for finding exactly these kinds of bad redactions, right? free.law/open-source-...

Pluribus rules because it’s forcing people who wanna see a bunch of sci fi lore dumps to instead watch amazing actors have incredibly interesting conversations about what it means to be a person

Time to bring back the song that, last year, immediately became my new favorite Christmas classic

@emilyrcwilson.bsky.social I just wanted to say thank you for this new translation of the Iliad — I’m reading it aloud to my partner as a bedtime story (half a “book” most nights), and it’s the first time I’ve ever read the story myself. We’re nearly halfway through, and very much enjoying it.

Hunger Games. Cool, cool.

Grim.

If you want to celebrate the life of Rob Reiner tonight and you haven't seen it, the documentary about his best friend, ALBERT BROOKS: DEFENDING MY LIFE, is as much about Brooks as it is Reiner's love for his lifelong best friend. As fall down hilarious as it is sweet & touching. It's a must see.

Dark fucking times, man.

Rob Reiner had a hand in writing, producing, directing, knowing a guy, pairing up talents, punching up a script on the down low, doing a cameo for like so much of the funniest shit coming out of Hollywood the last 50 years. His influence is seen everywhere

the good that you do persists in this world

Rob Reiner was one of the perennials, a force in TV and then film and then politics and Los Angeles life for decades and decades. He was the quintessence of Bleeding Heart Liberal Hollywood in the best sense of every word. May his memory be a blessing.

every post is like i bet you didn’t know this absolutely wonderful thing about rob reiner and each one is different

Rob Reiner made some great movies but he was also unafraid to speak the truth, and was one of the public voices who knew you don’t squander your platform, and only got louder about opposing evil fucks as he got older. Legend.

Realized that one of my favorite antique glass Christmas ornaments resembles the maw of the planet killer from "The Doomsday Machine." #StarTrek

The render distance in my neighborhood has gone WAY down. It must be all of that AI bullshit using up all of the RAM in the simulation.

You're in a car accident. So you call all the ERs from the ambulance and see who's offering a special. Hell, maybe you can ask hospital B to beat hospital A's price. It'll be like car dealerships. "How much can you spend a month, Randi?" "What will it take to get you into this ER today?"

:sigh: another person whose movies I enjoy shows their entire ass

so after being bedridden for 16months due to a hernia, I've finally got my surgery! now I'm bedridden for recovery, which is at least a great improvement. I'm still broke though, so if you've got a couple dollars, it'd help me get through this last stretch. Thanks so much! ko-fi.com/fooneturing

I do not understand this move even in the slightest

so many of our current problems stem from americans not being able to comprehend that a guy they know from tv might actually be stupid

I shall now talk about modern talkies the way people talk about silent films: I have seen three movies made in the 2020s, this qualifies me to name the best picture of the decade!
