Wow, even more Michael Mann podcasting! This time I got to be on with @nataliesnotinit.bsky.social who is brilliant and had some characteristically incredible film takes to share.

Worth watching because at the end she stops relying on canned answers and is honest—it seems clear to me that she doesn't believe white-coded people massacring brown people counts as genocide, because that's something only Africans do these days

Only thing I love more than watching HEAT is talking HEAT with podcasters who come slinging HEAT The rare movie where you think everything's been said about it before, but a podcast can only crack a fraction of the film (shoutout @kransekage.bsky.social for making this an excellent guest tag team)

disqualifying!

𝑰 𝒂𝒎 𝒂𝒍𝒐𝒏𝒆. 𝑰 𝒂𝒎 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒍𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒍𝒚. Today: Womenn on Mann on Trylove! With @kransekage.bsky.social and @nataliesnotinit.bsky.social, we finally crack open this melodramatic, load-bearing high water mark of crime cinema. Then, it’s time for some rapid-fire HEAT-adjacent trivia. Buckle in. (links in 🧵)

#MEpolitics: No doubt Mills will eventually relent to signing an even more watered down, functionally toothless version of the data centre moratorium, and then campaign on it as an example of her progressive bonafides, as she is doing with so many other progressive initiatives she ardently fought.

The new VERY hagriographic Michael Jackson biopic starring MJ's nephew is out at the end of the month. But back in 2004 an unauthorised and EQUALLY flattering biopic was made in Canada. Here is a clip and I promise you have NO idea where it's going. I haven't done a single edit here.

A film that feels almost impossible to comprehensively talk about in the span of two hours, but the Trylove guys always find a way! Noise music, being a woman in an industry built on misogyny, Internet-era decontextualized dehumanization, Gina Gershon's "I ❤️ Gossip" shirt... we talk about it all!

absolutely loved demonlover. blew my socks off.

The centrist think tank Third Way is trying to cancel Hasan Piker as part of its broader campaign to marginalize the left. The good news is no one has to listen to this stuff. We should take note of the Dems who do. More at @zeteo.com zeteo.com/p/third-way-...

goddamn just go actually put a camera on a fucking beach

I don’t think we should go back to twitter levels of toxicity but there’s a lot of confidently stupid turbolib opinions on here that can only exist in a low predator environment.

Me: the Dune movies are flawed adaptations of flawed text, which are fun but lose some of what makes the books so engaging and, yes, frustrating Me, seeing Denis’ latest freaks on parade:

Reuters Exclusive "U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school." "The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the ​Middle East."

Surprise! The Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post is against my 5% billionaire wealth tax. I wonder why? If enacted, Bezos would owe $12 billion in taxes, and an average family of 4 would receive a $12,000 direct payment. Poor Jeff would be left with just $224 billion to survive.
