I'm never going to doubt a prediction by Black Mirror ever again. Start preparing for swarms of nanotech bees and for people to have their consciousnesses uploaded into Star Trek pastiches.

This lady also had a part in Materialists, one of a few too many bits of overlap between A24 movies and Dimes Square figures for my liking this year.
"Nekrasova has made controversial statements in the past. In a 2023 New Yorker story, she was quoted as saying, “Francis is not the real Pope, we all know it. … You’re not gonna get rid of the Freemasons. You’re not gonna get rid of the Jews. They infiltrated the Church a long time ago.”"

So, like, is Zootopia 2 going to be an allegory for undocumented immigration with the reptiles being the immigrants?

I hate the Russos but making Marvel movies is the only thing they seem to be good at so it's probably best to just keep them busy with that.
The Russo Brothers will reportedly be overseeing the general story for the next saga of the #MCU after ‘AVENGERS: SECRET WARS’

James Bond is not a “series,” and should not bother with “continuity.” James Bond is something closer to haiku, or twelve-bar blues: a format which can be repeated with endless variations.
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

Going to guess some AI company paid him to do this and gave him a script with the usual "it's a tool" PR platitudes and he intentionally did a particularly shit job in protest... which isn't an excuse, it's still disgusting, but I feel some need to hope there's more to the story.

I probably liked Sentimental Value a tick or two less than The Worst Person in the World, but it's still catching Joachim Trier while he's on a roll and has a lot of really strong performances from all involved.

The reason NYT Opinion keeps pumping out garbage is because we keep rage-sharing it.
It's elevated Facebook comment-bait.
Like a $20 grilled cheese with Gruyère and aioli. We think we're different.

Earle-Sears ran what felt like 12 billion ads about how much she hated trans kids and I didn’t hear a single pundit say she should stick to real issues that affect real people.

I love that Zohran did not praise Cuomo in his speech. You absolutely do not have to say nice things about bad people. We should normalize that in “polite” politics: Praising bad people is not actually “civility.”

People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.

It's uncanny how Cuomo has been laser-focused at appealing to the absolute worst qualities in people - their insularity, their tribalism, and now their fear. A campaign monumental in its cynicism, a colossal bet by this man and his billionaire backers that people are basically bad.
This isn't a closing election argument, it's Vidkun Quisling explaining why surrender is better than resistance.

The obvious answer is movie theater. Only place I can consistently keep up with popular culture. Could also scare the shit out of asshole who use their phones during the movie and whatnot. Win for me and win for society.

Being an actor is wild. You can be one of the great literary polymaths of the 20th century, but you do one walk-on role on a network sitcom where your only line is, “Ey, who’s cookin’ boigas in da bathroom?” and for the rest of your life you’re “the boiga guy” to everyone except, like, Terry Gross.
On the other site, an 18-year-old Zohran canvasser described the legendary Wallace Shawn as "the actor who plays Dr. Sturgis on Young Sheldon" which is honestly adorable
