Fran Lebowitz called Donald Trump a stupid person’s idea of a smart person. In that spirit I call Emerald Fennell a gullible person’s idea of Lynne Ramsay.

I saw Fennell’s first two features and am currently operating on the “fool me twice” ticket buying program.

The greatest adaptation of Wuthering Heights is the Red Dress Version of Kate Bush's song. The second best is the Skeleton Graveyard version. The third best is the White Dress version. The 1939 film is fourth.

We must protect Abel Ferrara at all costs
Like that interview with [Quentin] Tarantino in the Times, all right? You tell me why a filmmaker is like a boxer, okay? A boxer—one split second of distraction and you could be in a wheelchair for the rest of your life. Like I told you, what’s gonna happen to you on a set, honey? Your assistant is going to spill hot coffee on your lap. How the fuck does that make you a boxer, Jack? You’re the opposite of a boxer, okay? Get it straight: You’re an artist, which is fine, man, that’s cool. But the point is, don’t worry about the films you’re making; worry about the life you’re living. You know what I mean?

Digging through some old photos and not sure the year 2000 ever year 2000-ed harder than these snaps of my sister and I at a Placebo record signing at Gaslight Records in Naam 💜
Three old photos of the band Placebo looking very 2000 cybercool, my sister looking like the cover of Sonic Youth's Goo album, and back of my head getting my Velvet Goldmine soundtrack signed 💜

I hate how evergreen this post has turned out to be, but - yet again - for the people up the back:

Little else boils my piss more than people playing the class card to justify using AI.

I grew up dirt fucking poor and my parents instilled in me from the day I was born that if you love something or someone, you 👏 have 👏 to 👏 put 👏 in 👏 the 👏 work 👏 because 👏 nothing 👏 worthwhile 👏 comes 👏 easy 👏

All AI music does is devalue the work done by human artists. It’s not accessibility, it’s exploitation. We need real protections for artists against AI!

BTW — even if you had access to this AI startup as a child, you still wouldn’t know how to make music.

Excellent advice - a full-body sensory reboot is the only thing that does the trick for me at least. Nap, jog or shower!

Hey congratulations - that's a huge achievement! I'd love to have a read: I have university library access so if you can just drop a citation I'll be happy to chase it up. Very excited to have a look. This is a big big deal - you should be very proud!

art is supposed to be flawed, imperfections & quirks are the soul of self-expression. pick up a pencil & draw, it’s ok!

queer culture is proudly built from folks thriving despite poverty. ai is stealing the joy of creation from you; i promise you don’t need ai. create unprofessional art!

Hey y'all- just wanted to share my site because I'm terrified about things going on with my day job. I'm not silly enough to think this will ever replace that income, but any & all support (free & paid) helps right now. And shares are greatly appreciated. 🖤 from-the-desk-of-the-horror-chick.ghost.io

I know we were all boycotting this bin fire already because of the appalling way they treated Melissa Barrera, but wait there's more!

Just when you thought this movie’s whole existence couldn’t be more despicable.
Tweet from ashotmagazine: 'SCREAM 7' has teamed up with Meta for a generative AI feature that lets fans insert themselves into scenes from the movie. The collaboration was unveiled at a Meta-sponsored Q&A event last night featuring Neve Campbell and Isabel May.
