One, this, but two, I also think this helps make him seem a bit less like a God-botherer. I think against a freak like Paxton, he could keep his margins down among younger men.

Talarico's response is so cool though. "Jesus followed strippers, and are we not commanded to live like Him?" beastmode lmao

This! I would love to be a part of something like this. We definitely need more women here!

Between the Islamophobia, the anti-Semitism, the racism, and the homophobia -- it must be so bizarre to be afraid of basically everyone, all the time Pure loser shit

‘But now, for the first time, I see you are a man like me. I thought of your hand grenades, of your bayonets, of your rifle; now I see your wife, and your face and our fellowship. Forgive me, comrade.’ 📚E.M.Remarque, All Quiet on the Western Front 🎬 directed by L.Milestone, 1930 #BookWormSat #War

dude there's a scene in this where Danny Lee cauterizes a wound on Chow Yun Fat's arm by cracking a shotgun shell over it like an egg and igniting the gunpowder with a lit cigarette, movies can change the goddamn world

“woke” is when you acknowledge that black people have contributed to the united states

enemies on the battlefield to brothers on the court is a crazy progression

…

we are in your walls

This is remarkable.

Every time I see a body cam shooter that pixel censors gunshots and gore and has bad over sharpening and dynamic range as a creative choice I think, have you paid your respects to the og, Kane and Lynch 2?

j. edgar hoover is looking up from hell and screaming about this outfit. i think the guy could probably look past a nonwhite as director of the fbi. but dressing like shit? that is a bridge too far for hoover.

James Talarico does strike me as a man who does walk the walk when it comes to Christianity in ways that many Christian politicians don’t.

Honestly, we need politicians who respect sex workers way more than we need those who only respect lobbyists.

Osama Bin Laden:

I request an FBI director that doesn’t give me “scared hall monitor” vibes

It’s been so… funny watching the Bulwarkers come slowwwwly around to what has been plainly and brutally obvious to me my entire adult life.

that wonderful time of year where food columnists around this country get inspired to write things like "cook your food: how to make food hot" and "have you considered cooking the food?"

Geez. Shouldn't we pay our soldiers enough so they don't have to be on SNAP?

American Marines and Sailors were fighting dissident Samurai and this was forgotten about because the Civil War was happening at the same time.

1. Kara No Kyokai 5: Paradox Spiral. A trippy murder mystery that dips into Buddhist philosophy and what the concepts of “home” and “self” actually entail. Taking equal influence from Fincher as it does from Kiyoshi Kurosawa so much of this movie has lodged itself deep in my directorial brain.

Patlabor 2 Directed by Mamoru Oshii. Many people hold Oshii’s follow up to this Ghost in the Shell as his best work. I disagree. I think this movie is the best thing he ever directed. It’s a story of love and loss. Of a system in denial over its complicity in war and what happens when it comes home.

That certainly is a sentence

New negotiating tactic

A reminder:

From what I am able to gather this is the closest thing to “Samurai didn’t use guns because honor” that actually existed except it’s basically radical conservative xenophobics getting mad at a dude for political power with modern Dutch weapons.

Imagine getting assassinated at the age of 92. Someone must've hated your guts so much that they just couldn't wait a few years.

That one writer on House whenever they have an excuse to shove a needle through someone’s pupil on network television

No telekinetic cats, got it.

So a while back I was gearing up to reach out to the rights holders to Pacific Drive to see if I could option the rights to the game to write a feature film based on it. I got beaten to the punch by James Wan but this proof of concept trailer I edited out of 2 official trailers is still a blast.

Compare this to the control room stuff in Jurassic World The best it gets are those last 2 images.

Rewatching Jurassic Park and the conclusion I have reached is A) people need to smoke their sets more. B) People have forgotten how to do lighting in ways that show contrast. Either it’s too dark or too overly lit.

Was rewatching The Naked Gun and this still one of my favorite gags.

Burned is an old short I did before Happy Traveler. While I'm much prouder of Happy Traveler there are a couple of sequences from it that I'm using in my reel.

If you don't know who Michael Burry is, he's the guy who spotted the instability in the housing market with subprime loans and predicted the 2008 financial crash. Christian Bale played him in The Big Short. Now he's betting against AI companies.

“individual employees asked to change behavior in response to catastrophic mistakes made by their high-level leadership over the past 3-7 years” really feels like the overarching story of the current times

RIP Baudrillard you would have loved this shit

Um if you make the big corporations and wealthy pay more taxes then what’s stopping them from firing people and raising price in retaliation, this is Mamdani’s fault if they do this, therefore we should let the corporations do what they want forever

Shout out to my great uncle for having one of the first air to air kills on a jet fighter

Working on a sizzle for my WIP.

We’re watching Collateral we get to the scene where Vincent starts talking about jazz and lists off some jazz musicians. Jen immediately adds “Roy Donk, Tiny Boops Squiggs Shorterly”

Jen keeps on insisting on calling Naked Snake “Himbo Snake” and she lost her shit when I showed how he looked in naked mode. “oh my god he even has the suspenders he definitely moonlights as a male stripper. He finishes his mission and does a bachelorette party.”

It’s really wild how Tobe Hooper has a very consistent belief that America is built on a rotten foundation that is quite literally killing us.
