pinned post!
With all the new arrivals and the ability to pin a post, I figured I'd offer a brief introduction: I'm the former Editorial Manager for Turner Classic Movies and, before that, a Senior Editor for Collider for 14 years. I currently freelance, and I also launched a newsletter,

Every creator rushing behind AI is doing so out of fear. It's kind of understandable--tech has dominated the 21st century--but it's also a misread of this specific tech as well as the uniqueness of an artist. In short: don't make decisions because you're scared by Silicon Valley hype.

My read on companies like Regal, Tubi, and Starbucks jumping into bed with ChatGPT isn't that there's some massive demand, but that some hapless exec is worried about being "left behind" and so they're lending their brand to ChatGPT just in case.

When do we stop acting like Blockbuster was a force for good? Wild that even former employees can be nostalgic for a corporation that created something akin to the monopolies we are seeing from major media conglomerates now. We also donât need to shut down streaming services to foster community.

All mergers are bad for the industry. Capitalism thrives when there are many competitors, not a few. But there are MANY streaming services & only a few studios, so the merging of streaming services wouldn't hurt production the same way merging studios does.

It's fascinating to see Vance as so arrogant that he'll lecture the Pope on theology, but also such a groveling sycophant that he'll follow Trump's lead on anything. Anyway, we all know that if Vance really worships a God, it's not the one of Catholicism.

Antisemitism is structurally necessary for Elon Musk's politics, because he wants to brand himself as the insurgent populist fighting the elite, but as the world's wealthiest person, he needs a definition of "elite" that is not strictly rooted in wealth or corporate ownership.

Truly remarkable how many people have told the Pope, in some way or another, to "shut up and dribble." Or corrected him on the Bible, despite their thin education on theology. Or told him to stay out of US affairs, despite him being a US citizen. The hubris is amazing.
