Numerous public libraries — including the LAPL — also offer Kanopy, a streaming service that has an *incredible* number of recent and older movies. It’s a treasure trove. If you live in LA, you can get a library card online and then start streaming.

We’re in a bold new era of soulless slop. Deeply unethical when it comes to art, labour, the environment, and the entertainment landscape at large.

it was a fun experiment that didn't work out but I think it's time to bring back the concept of selling out being shameful

One of the best-sketched characters in an incredibly character-rich show: a fascist whose (potentially real!) redeeming qualities are continually undercut by his monumental pride, bigotry, entitlement and pettiness
The most realistic scene in DS9 is when Gul Dukat whined about how the Bajorans never erected a statue in his honor. A prophetic text.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

I am relieved that a priceless cinematic heritage that includes Casablanca, Unforgiven, and the films of Stanley Kubrick will finally be joining the same library as Red Notice.

After a banner year of Warner Bros putting unique, filmmaker driven original movies into theaters and getting giant audience turn out for them, the corporation that now owns them would like you to know that actually you didn’t like this and that what you really wanted was to watch at home.
As Netflix confirms plans to buy Warner Bros. for $82.7 billion, the streaming service has said it expects shorter theatrical runs for movies in future "to meet the audience where they are, quicker." https://bit.ly/3XCvY8M

the HORSES affair is a startlingly low bar to cross to see if people actually care about protecting games from censorship of upsetting themes because it's far tamer and has way more moral clarity than a lot of stuff that doesn't get banned. but it's also very clarifying to see who can't cross it

One of the many things worth thinking about re: Steam's ban on Horses is how it highlights is the centralization problem caused by having such a monolithic (and maybe mono-something-else) retail giant.
Independent studios with even humble commercial aspirations are chained to Valve's whims.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

The restoration of Angel's Egg is out in theatres today (at the Beacon and various Regal and Cinemark theatres in the Seattle area, plus the Grand in Tacoma tomorrow).
Great movie, don't miss it. I'll have a review of it and another Oshii Mamoru movie in a couple of days.
