"The age of chivalry has passed. This, honey, is the age of chiselry." - James Cagney in Blonde Crazy, and somehow not Jay-Z in the 90s

I don't know if there's ever been a culture more in love with charlatans than ours. "Success" defined entirely by how good you are at tricking people into giving you money. An entire country of aspiring slop merchants

Had a face melting duo of HK problematic fun last night at New Beverly! Seeing Tiger on the Beats finale with a crowd easily worth the price of admission.

Informative commentary on High & Low by Stephen Prince on the Criterion BR, namely informative about the history of kidnapping for ransom in Japan and how it had a post-war influx and changes to its punishments to deter them. Fitting for the desperations of the lower class forced into their places.

Watching the extras on Female Prisoner Scorpion: Jailhouse 41, the art director Tadayuki Kuwana was especially insightful about how research and political context influenced his role. He mentions researching Auschwitz and the book Man's Search for Meaning to highlight the patriarchal terror.

The idea that the progressive left used the internet to bully institutions into accepting unpopular, far-left positions is the exact opposite of what has actually happened. The alt-right used the internet for ideological capture and they are now in the White House bragging about it daily

I like the part in 50 Cent's "In Da Club" where he interpolates Sheena Easton's "Morning Train" melody.

Real cool of Shout Factory to have interviews and commentary discussing some political intrigue behind the scenes and star fandoms going on in China with their Tiger Cage release! Definitely informative both on action movie history and how stardom and conflict with politics works over there too.

Hi I'm the guy at eBay who said they shouldn't have personalized suggested purchases of the same exact items you're listing to sell. They defenestrated me from a 12 story window, burned my house down, and told me I'll never work in tech again.

It was always silly to be a pre-X twitter bully but it’s straight up hilarious to be a bluesky bully.
