The first episode of our new show is out!

The Onion Magazine: Acts Of Profound And Unspeakable Evil Get A Bad Rap: Do They Really Deserve It?

Ash Wednesday

Good news. Haha jk

Sean Baker on physical media after an Oscar win last night, captured from @letterboxd.social

MORE Eye of the Duck! Can you even fathom something as nice as that? Try to fathom it. You deserve this.

The celebration continues with the launch of a whole new podcast! Over on patreon we’re unpacking industry news and new releases!

Celebrating the end of awards season (and our birthday) by highlighting our favorite films of 2024!

the best thing about Sean Baker winning four Oscars is I have no doubt he’ll get back to posting about the delicate blu ray transfer of some Romanian giallo film from 1984

feels weird to be watching an Oscars where the host, the writers, maybe even everyone involved actually seem to love movies. and it's funny, they're not just taking tedious, mean-spirited potshots at movies for the entire runtime. pleasantly surprised by how much I'm enjoying this

There should be a tribute to David Lynch, where they just show 60 seconds of a static shot of a steam filled underground corridor, with a flickering fluorescent light backed with ominous washing and a distant scream

I’m trying to imagine if in the W Bush years a random guy obsessed with breeding and impregnating a harem of women with babies he will likely never even meet just showed up at the White House after a Sieg Heil, plugged in a gaming console, and fired everyone, how that would be reported by the press.

We live in hell

Every day I have to hear about some asshole

I find myself thinking this a lot these days.

The Quick and the Dead appreciation post

Lindsey is right that it's important to remember that the bigots trying to take away rights from transgender people are weird losers.

Don't use AI. Just stop. NO, not even for "good" reasons. If you don't give af about the fact it's built on stolen work (hey, mine are among the millions of works ripped off, btw), care about the devastating environmental impacts, the financial impacts. It's all bad.

Dang

That’s a wrap on our biggest series yet. We learned a lot of important lessons. But when we weighed the odds, it was really Paul or Nothing.

Asteroid City may mark the end of our alien invasion series, but if there’s one thing the last 70 years of this genre has taught us: it’ll live on for as long as humans keep looking up at the night sky

To me, a Nazi salute means, "I want to murder your family." There can be no irony about it: It puts deep anger and hatred in my heart to see it done and I will never forgive anyone who justifies or minimizes it.

An AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH trailer could heal me

“We want complete artistic freedom and the freedom to cast who is right for the role, not who we’re forced to cast considering box office value, or how many followers they have on social media. The system has to change because this is simply unsustainable.” www.indiewire.com/news/events/...

I respect any motherfucker who can paint the hell out of light & water

If one person gives a Nazi salute, they’re a Nazi. If multiple people give a Nazi salute, you’re at a Nazi rally.

BWDR changed my life in every possible way and I’m grateful every day for it. I know I’m not the only one. Some of your favorite writers had their lives changed by BWDR. Help future writers have their lives changed, too.

Help support independent media & all the wonderfully talented writers, artists, and editors who contribute to each issue of Bright Wall/Dark Room! We're hoping to raise our contributor rates this year, but can only do so with the help of your subscriptions & support!

No, they aren’t. Physical home video is doing great. What articles like this, and surveys they cite, often miss is the health of the boutique market and direct to consumer traffic. Not everyone buys discs from Amazon and Target etc, especially now. It’s all good! www.tomsguide.com/tvs/4k-blu-r...

Next week on 𝐄𝐘𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐔𝐂𝐊: PAUL OR NOTHING — in which we reflect on the past seven months(?!) of alien invasion movies, discuss how the genre evolved with filmmaking and culture over time, and answer listener questions. But more important: did we finally break Dom of his UFO obsession??

If you want to get a sense of the mood out there, apparently this song from last century is going viral (Yes, the same band that famously did "Tubthumper")

I’ve been saying for years now that “we have always lived in Paul Verhoeven’s America” but at this point it’s clear the man was simply being too subtle

If you, as a politician, cannot stand up to what you know are illegal overreaches of power, you are not doing your sworn duty, and need to recognize that you are not suitable for the job, elected or not.

And thanks to crashing wages and increased cost of living, sometimes it’s both!

That’s how you write a headline, people.

Hey CAA, I never ran a campaign so poorly that I gave an entire country over to actual nazis but I am currently seeking representation. Just so you know.

Guess I’ll die dot j peg
