Is @isaacdovere.bsky.social a reporter? An opinion columnist? This is a straight news report? What is happening in this piece?

post
yes. what if you were confident and had fun, instead of projecting power and strength from a place of deep insecurity and fear

We're measuring fitness by minutes per game?

The Fortune 500 company in question here is run by the same guy that owns the NHL's Las Vegas Golden Knights. Sports culture / business journalists, there's your angle. @davidjroth.bsky.social

well this isn't correct at all

Love it! The sex pest Imperial ICE agent was such a deft scene, skin-crawling memories of (among other cinematic antecedents) the scenes shared by Daniel Bruhl and Melanie Laurent in Inglourious Basterds.

i mean, this is a very dumb article, but isn't the whole point of the concept of News Analysis that the journalist is pushing their preferred narrative (i.e., "analysis")?

Are you on the Sexy Beast cruise? How is Ray Winstone?

Sports fans and media often have an overtone of "what a diva" when discussing athletes who have "their own guys" for health, fitness, and performance — but this is why. Cannot trust your bosses to be competent about protecting your future health.

I love the narrative decision to start not at the first attack, or the first turning of the tide, but at the point where they got attacked, won for a while, then started losing again. @realgdt.bsky.social gave the story a history.

among other tragedies, i can't imagine what this is doing to the physical and mental health of these first responders

"Radicalized" by the lightest amount of constraints on them being able to do whatever at all they want to do. I'd say they didn't need much of a push.

I mean, I think All Those Books ensured that my "good liberal" white Baby Boomer parents are somewhat more aware of systemic racism now than they were in 2019, but that didn't really change much.

it is startling how correct all the Black People Who Had Been Through This Before were when they said that the mainstream whites would care about this for a little while, and then forget about it

FURY ROAD is bursting with exhilaration and excitement, and FURIOSA is mostly grim and gross and angry.
comment in response to
post
FURIOSA is (in some ways) a technical achievement, but it's 2 1/2 hours of watching our girl get abused by (and seek revenge on) horrible people. FURY ROAD had SO much more life and fellowship and love shown by and among Furiosa, the wives, Nux, the Vuvalini, and even Max himself.

I might have to subscribe to Vulture just to support all these great, substantative conversational interviews y'all do with actors and artists.

*impossible* not to hear Gustave H. in my head throughout this conversation:
“Do you have a good time doing these interviews?” she asks, laughing. “Are we gonna do all the actors I’m working with? All the couples?!” Fiennes chimes in, slyly: “If you do any other male actors, I’ll be very jealous.”

I loved @hellafitzgerald.bsky.social's review of Dafoe's lead performance in "The Last Temptation of Christ" and really need to revisit that movie.

We're not willing to risk anything, because unlike Brazil and South Korea, for example, we haven't been ruled by a dictator before.

Though at least Woj had years of journalism experience. Shams has never done a day of journalism in his life. He's just a guy who's good at networking. (Which is a huge part of reporting but isn't everything.)
comment in response to
post
Woj needs to basically spend the rest of his career spreading this gospel to every person in sports media. Getting a "scoop" on roster news that a team would announce later anyway is not really worth any amount of personal sacrifice. It's barely even journalism.

It's even better in context, because there really is none. They just drop a musical number in there, out of nowhere, with a random minor character, because it is FUN. And also, Clouseau dances around a bit.

I just watched this the other night, for the first time, and wow, that musical number with Fran Jeffries

Very interesting and informative discussion!
I don't know a lot about this, but is improv comedy in movies a factor as well? Like when McKay, Apatow, etc., are shooting lines and riffs, you gotta light everything because it's not as planned out?
(Or maybe that's not a factor.)

man, what is your point? tonight's refs shouldn't have called a violation because someone else once didn't call it?

Ohhhh, is EOT (2014) the debut of the Ethan Hunt / new Maverick persona that got Cruise back on top?
MZS: "He was always likable, sometimes perfect in the right role, but age has deepened him by bringing out his vulnerability ... an existential terror in his eyes that's disturbing in a good way."

Would absolutely love your "30 minutes on" this one, because I'm trying to figure out what I missed. It always feels derivative and generic to me, but it has widespread popular and critical acclaim now. I might be wrong?

ANDOR, that is, in the "cost of rebellion" themes, not the "bureaucracy of fascism" part as much.

Our current sociopolitical moment both fuels and is fueled by an exhilarated, collective throwing off the shackles of having to consider in your actions a single person other than yourself.
