Lol just heard the NPR story about the DOGE guy who lost his job when he said he was surprised at how hard it was to find inefficiencies in the federal govt because he came from Silicon Valley where companies always have lots of people sitting around doing nothing

See, I always love it when a film throws a bunch of money at a couple of academics like this. Fuck yeah Professor Adler, go hog wild in the set shop being uptight about the color of the stone walls

And this is what I mean about backlash.

I just want a global 'turn all 'ai' off everywhere, categorically, no exceptions unless I individually approve them in triplicate' setting for all my devices

The best thing about remakes and reboots is that everyone gets to talk about what the differences are between the two versions instead of the actual subject matter of the story and it's just that kind of attention to surface level detail that I'm really looking for.

At the q&a for THE MIST last night, Frank Darabont talked about how the creature feature works of Bert I. Gordon and Jack Arnold were a major influence in adapting the Stephen King story. Both in a source of kindertrauma and for the black and white version.

Any mention of The Washington Examiner and Stephen Miller should point out that the newspaper colluded with Miller in 2019 to foment hysteria about immigrants and refugees. archive.is/DmEs0

Revisited Matinee. Joe Dante’s ode to the atomic age monster movies & theater gimmicks popularized by the likes of William Castle, it remains one of my favorite films about movies John Goodman’s character gives a speech that I’d argue captures the magic of seeing a scary movie better than any other

The fact that they had an obvious crowd control weapon and were too scared to use it, that’s so good

When Graham finally someday passes away his body will immediately turn to ash and a bright red bat with green eyes will emerge and fly away.

It's no longer about "making it" in this industry. It's all about corporate greed and mismanagement making the "it" unattainable or at the very least, temporary. Many don't understand how bad it is out there for a massive amount of overqualified artists. Directors with Emmys can't get work.

What a shitty, fucked up, evil, depressing way to start Pride. There is too much evil in the world perpetuated almost entirely by people who imagine themselves to be the good guy. If there was real justice in the world, there would be far more hateful buried in the ground and far fewer LGBTQIA.

Jonathan Joss was murdered in a hate crime. I’ve yet to see that headline anywhere. All my love to Tristan and Jonathan, and all of their loved ones.

my takeaway from this feature is that in a functioning political system there would be televised congressional hearings over the fact that one of the most influential people in the white house is a total maniac www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Seeing as Roman Coppola is a co-screenwriter on THE PHONECIAN SCHEME, I can't help wondering if the movie's theme is a rib on the making of MEGALOPOLIS.

no words for how evil and tragic this is

it’s insane that having empathy is becoming a political liability for so many americans

When left-wing American Jews comment on a rise in antisemitism in the US - without ever mentioning Israel or attempting to scapegoat Palestinian solidarity activism - here are some trends over the course of the decade since Trump first ran for President that they are likely referring to:

again, this staggering idiot — this living monument to gross stupidity — is basically the intellectual guru of the sitting vice president

One thing I’ve discussed with s friend privately is how we hate 90% of online media criticism nowadays. It’s either uncritical IP worship or this pseudo-intellectual backlash from illiterate, ahistorical snobs who think themes and messages—something horror has always had—is a cardinal sin.

I'm so angry and sad.

One of the few companies I never trust when they put up a job opening. Never. deadline.com/2025/06/disn...

The other reason I don’t trust Disney is that there was a two month period where they didn’t put up new postings, they put up the same posting multiple times and edited the name, leading to multiple cases of people being unable to apply because of it.

ITS PRIDE SEASON! I'm Moss and I'm an aro/ace/agender creator. I've worked in animation for ten years and have recently published my first two graphic novels, HELLAWEEN + HELLAWEEN: Spellbent My comics are queer in that they deal with topics of friendship and identity, without factoring in romance

The fact that so many now powerful people think Yarvin is smart and interesting is deeply troubling. It's difficult, if you know anything about, well, anything, to read him and not conclude that he's basically an ignorant moron.

had an idea for a video game: You play John Q Public. One day, some weird guys kidnap your girlfriend Liberty. Later, you receive a letter from President X, the inhabitant of the devil's white house, saying to save Liberty you must fight your way across america and face THE FINAL BOSS OF EVERY STATE

When I make TV shows, I have to surround myself with people who I trust to say "Owen shut up, it's fine" about stuff, otherwise I'll waste away, a feeble apparition of a dithering emaciate on a chaise lounge.

I would love to know how this idea that we were being invaded by literal millions of violent gang members got started, because the deportation machine was already working at full speed under the Dems, and being a gang member *has always* been a permanent bar to immigration. Who cooks this shit up

Loss is funny not because a miscarriage is inherently humorous, it's because Tim Buckley used his setup-talk-talk-punchline format for it. It's like if you were watching a road runner cartoon and right before Wile E ran into the painted tunnel he stopped and told the audience he had prostate cancer

This is stupid because Trump was already president before! People should have known what to expect from trying to put him in office again.

Fascist behavior begetting more tragic fascist behavior. And on and on.

In my day, Frozen 2 would’ve been released directly to VHS with a new Olaf who sounds weird, and we would’ve been GRATEFUL.

David Byrne was the first person to reach out to us because he wanted to be on the show.

I like that it's being pushed against, but what will populate in feeds are headlines, and that's all most people will read. Headlines should look like this: "LIE: Mike Johnson lies about people losing Medicaid" "Lie" is the big, bold, scandalous word, so use it! J. Jonah Jameson these evil liars!

"The Loved Ones" is now on Shudder. Run, don't walk.
