Happy 48th anniversary to the best adaptation of THE HOBBIT. You know I’m right.

It's Trans Day of Remembrance. It's hard to neatly encapsulate my thoughts and feelings. I just hope you'll take a second for them, even if it's just to register their names and faces. This is far from complete, and just the US. Still, they are important.

I can't think of a better deterrent for me personally going into a Target. Don't look at me, don't fucking talk to me
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

Target is now requiring its employees to smile more
As the holiday season fast approaches, Target is urging its employees to add a little more “jolly” to their work routine.

ChatGPT is doing everything 80s parents thought heavy metal and D&D did and I wish this was hyperbole
Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market.
This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved.

Anti-EBT people have never really struggled and you can tell. "OMG! You're buying cookies & soda? With OUR money?"
Like, yeah, dickcheese. Those are calorie dense foods, which is exactly what you need when you're trying to survive.
Some people need others to suffer so their efforts feel validated.

Nature is healing when one MCU movie after another can’t get any traction while every month or two some Japanese anime I have never heard of called “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Infinity Castle” makes a fortune. This is how it should be

I don't actually remember WHO told me years ago that they hated The Fountain, but they thought I'd love it, in a way that I perceived as being somewhat insulting 🤣 but now that I have finally seen the movie...they were right, and I've decided it was definitely a compliment. Had to be 😅

Love to hear this, can't wait to see what they've cooked up!
There’s an interview going around about AI, so before there are any questions, let me state unequivocally that BLACK PHONE 2 is 100% organic. AI was not used at any stage of the filmmaking from idea generation, research, look books, writing, onscreen images - anything. We’re old school and love it.

Maybe tonight I will finally finish GHOSTS OF MARS, which is shot & edited like a 1950s western on lots of drugs, but scripted like half the John Carpenter filmography got tossed in a blender, with a design strategy somehow combining those two things!
It's not great, but I love that it exists 😅

GHOSTS OF MARS has been on the Criterion Channel since the first of the month, and I have been watching it in bits and pieces since then. I don't even hate it, I just put it on for a bit and then about 10-15 mins later I think "that's enough Ghosts of Mars for now." I'm about 3/4 of the way through

This one's for the #classicfilm nerds: why don't people talk about Ronald Colman more? Only seen him in 2 or 3 movies but his charisma was devastating. He arguably out-suaves Cary Grant in TALK OF THE TOWN, but Cary cast a much longer shadow culturally. What happened there?

If you’re canceling subscription services with giant companies with ties to terrible people, you should think about replacing them with a library card. Many library systems give you access to physical media (some of which you can’t find on streaming!) as well as other great stuff.

Unfortunately, yeah, HIGHEST 2 LOWEST isn't good. Last time Spike & Denzel worked together, INSIDE MAN was studio-smooth and is still a fave. This is studio-bland instead!
Crazy to say but it feels like Spike Lee has met our horrible political moment with...personal artistic insecurity

Reportedly, Hulu’s site is crashing from all the cancellations.

Also possible, if not probable, that your local library can give you access to SO MANY movies, either through Kanopy which has a better selection than many paid streaming services, or via physical media (which, once discs are on the library shelf, is truly out of corporate control!)
As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read.
They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

What Robert Redford contributed to American films via Sundance is genuinely immeasurable. He was also an extraordinarily talented director--Ordinary People and Quiz Show are two of the best American studio movies of their eras--and an actor who somehow wore his incredible charisma almost shyly. RIP.

Trying to figure out how to make your main character messed-up enough to be truly interesting but not SO messed-up as to capsize the tone of the whole script is a wonderfully distracting pastime for days like these

Filming has wrapped! Always unbelievably grateful for such opportunities. It only happens because of committed friends who work really hard!
