“AI helped me code and do excel and make this picture and write this essay!” exploited labour helped you do that you asshole

The right: enough with all this gender ideology crap! The ideology in question: uhhhh being a woman I guess?

I’m surprised they didn’t perform the songs, but I like hearing from the songwriters. They’ve really tried to center the craftsmen involved in filmmaking during this ceremony.

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

Imagine how many local movie theaters you could start, rescue, or fully fund if you were rich, how have we not had one billionaire do that yet

"[AI] is a class-warfare tool... It’s in the power of a few people. It will be utilized and structured to continue both information and misinformation in manipulative ways, to put the lesser down and bolster the few." I spoke to Scott Derrickson about THE GORGE, his career in horror, AI, and more.

Yes. As another example, some people making a huge difference today are country singers just being like "actually I'm cool with queer people"

Guys, we just watched college students get their faces kicked in by police six months ago, and not even the *Democratic* politicians budged on Palestine. Your peaceful protest/picnic on the capital steps is not going to do shit

I think when a politician says "I support xyz" and the next day moves to gut xyz, that should be illegal.

i wish the republicans had been this limp and useless when obama had the supermajority. forget universal healthcare, we could have gotten reparations

This is insane

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand. #resist

God almighty I am dreading doing my taxes, and Turbotax rubbing it in my face every five minutes makes me hate them even more

Is there anything preventing someone from calling a representative in another state, claiming they are a constituent, and putting pressure on those politicians in addition to their own? Asking for a friend

Not enough trailers. Where are the movies??

Tubi supremacy!!!!!!!

"He gets us" okay but you would not recognize him if he slapped you across the face

At the Deathbed, by Edvard Munch, 1895

Gotta say, going between the two, Bluesky has a lot more interesting/relevant Superbowl commentary than Twitter does rn

These AI commercials are really reminding me of all those crypto commercials in 2022

Sweet! I have definitely never trespassed here before!

As someone who is critical of "market tested" and "focus grouped" media, is it hypocritical of me to be part of a focus group myself? I've done this twice now and had a fun time, but its made me wonder if I'm actually part of the problem

Not a single screening of this in SLC! Combined with fewer venues overall and zero festival branding along 300 South, all signs point to Sundance NOT expanding into Salt Lake in 2027

A week later and I can't recall a more unifying event for cinephiles than the death of David Lynch; it feels like this democratizing force that stopped everyone in their tracks regardless of what they watch, how they watch it, etc. The collective mourning as tribute felt like a gain, not a loss.

Just saw a bumper sticker that said, "Willem Dafoe ate my flipflops and stole my tupperware lids" wtf

Thought a lot about LAMB watching RABBIT TRAP last night. If I recall, that film was pretty divisive too!

If you claim to be a cinephile and don't read film criticism—and I do mean READ, not watching YouTube or TikTok or skimming the funniest one-liners on Letterboxd—no 👏 you 👏 aren't 👏

On today's Sundance agenda: APRIL (which premiered at Venice last year) and a short film program!

ETERNAL YOU is out on VOD today. I wrote about some of my problems with it during last year's Sundance jshfsher.medium.com/can-technolo...

I'm at Sundance this week! Wrote a little thing about about the first-time features I have my eye on headed into the festival jshfsher.medium.com/13-debut-fil...

the bratz tribute to david lynch is so moving

Dug into some links on Google's AI summary of the question "are there fixed truths?" and one of the sites it pulled from features this guy 🤡

On Monday morning, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected Utah's bid to force the federal government to give up control of 18.5 million acres of public lands inside the state. www.utahpoliticalwatch.news/supreme-cour...

Didn't enjoy THE FRONT ROOM, but it's telling that the Egger siblings seem to have some firsthand experience with evangelicalism

I once saw a documentary at Sundance where the audience applauded after every line they agreed with. I almost died from embarrassment. Since then my guiding principle is to try and never see anything that lets white liberals pat themselves on the back too much

Is it just me or is the maturity level of this latest Sundance cohort remarkably low? Catching up with some of their earlier films and frankly I'm seeing a lot of fluff

New Ethel Cain album is deeply alienating, consisting mostly of unnerving, discordant ambient noise and distorted, repetitive spoken word. The perfect album for an artist who has a growing fandom and clearly hates it. Chappell Roan take note!
