"I'm sorry sir, you misspelled 'potato' at a spelling bee for 12 year olds where the school had it misspelled on the script they gave you. Therefore you cannot be president. Next time just have sex with some of the 12 year olds. That's totally fine."
What the fuck America.

I'm getting a lot of LinkedIn alerts for companies seeking writers for "short-form vertical dramas." That is: three-minute serialized videos constructed for phones. These videos are to get big budgets and aim to incorporate known I.P.
So, #Quibi. They've invented Quibi.

A favorite of Guillermo del Toro, Él is a thrilling/upsetting marital drama from Mexico's Golden Age that starts at emotional abuse and spirals into madness. My Criterion column this month on the new 4K restoration of this Luis Buñuel classic: www.avclub.com/cult-of-crit...
Cult Of Criterion: Él
Luis Buñuel injected his masterful Mexican melodrama Él with just enough uncanniness to poison its lead's mind.

It is a comparatively minor inconvenience, all told, but Current Times emboldening prequel defenders to try to claim they are actually deep, misunderstood masterpieces is certainly annoying

Reference photo for an illustration. It was a gun (in an antagonist's hand) in the painting. This is what I looked like in art school, anyway.

Love having no confidence whatsoever in my elected officials to actually represent me and everybody else they’re supposed to represent. Bang-up job everyone, real great work all around, this feeling of powerlessness is just the tops

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

2025's "Frankenstein" is about as good as 1994's "Frankenstein." I will take no questions on this matter.
