The way I howled at this in the cinema. Extrene specificity in jokes always hits hard for me, but this movie really is fantastic and I feel like it's still very under the radar.
'Logan Lucky' released in theaters 8 years ago and this George R.R. Martin joke still holds true today

People gotta stop saying “we all had an anti phase.” No we didn’t lol. The vast, vast majority of the general population disagrees with you. It’s a fringe ideology and should be treated as such

The problem with classic movies is that too few of them frame the actors as tiny figures dwarfed by a Mac OS screensaver.
'The Wizard of Oz' (1939) vs 'The Wizard of Oz at Sphere' (2025)
Over 90% of the film has been 'touched up' with AI

Every time I see a clip from The Princess Diaries I ask myself how can such a simple, charming premise stray so far from God (the source material.) Why are we in California. Why is her dad dead. Why is Julie Andrews here being angelically sweet and profoundly English. What the fuck is going on.

The thing about The Buccaneers is that they give the characters all completely new personalities every single episode so it is impossible to keep pace with any choices or emotional through lines. It is the very definition of melodrama and every moment is absurd.

In other news, The Gilded Age is... not good, is it, LOL. It's in its 3rd season and I keep waiting for it to grip me with some sort of genuine investment in any of these people and I still can't remember most of the staff's names. Not a good sign when I was ride or die for Downton by the end of s1.

Well, I did it and enjoyed every second. And I know they never would have done Tom/Mary, so in the long run, the answer was SO OBVIOUSLY Charles Blake. I'm enraged at everything to do with the Henry Talbot pairing, it was fucked up and then actor availability for the movies made it genuinely toxic.
I keep getting served microdoses of Downton Abbey on Reels etc and it's really making me consider rewatching the whole series before the final movie, but I fear I may throw something at the screen in rage at how badly they fumbled the potential of Tom and Mary as an endgame couple. SUCH A WASTE.

MIT just pubbed a study on ChatGPT users.
“Brain scans revealed neural connection collapse... a 47% reduction in brain connectivity. When researchers forced ChatGPT users to write w/o AI, they performed worse than people who never used AI at all. It's not just dependency. It's cognitive atrophy.”

Sulphur-crested cockatoos in Sydney have worked out how to operate drinking fountains, with footage showing the white birds gripping and turning the handle before leaning in for a sip.
Researchers set up camera traps and recorded the birds taking turns at a drinking fountain in western Sydney. Scientists observed more than 500 attempts over 44 days and revealed the birds were successful about 46% of the time.

I'm currently kicking around the theory that the movie "Fountain of Youth," written by James Vanderbilt, exists solely as front for the Vanderbilt family to raise and loot the Lusitania in real life and pretend it was just part of the film, because I can't work out any other reason for it to exist.
