"That would save about 30 cents on each item that Amazon picks, packs and delivers to customers."
First, that's a small amount in the greater scheme, and second, the savings is going to be passed on to the executives, not the consumer. That's how it always works.

Oliver Laxe's SIRAT is out in NYC now, coming soon — or at least one prays on bended knees it will! — to a theater near you. One of the few movies that felt like it was already a cult classic as I was watching it. So fucking good. 📽️

Welcome to Your New Favorite Cult Movie: 'Sirāt'
Spanish filmmaker Oliver Laxe's thriller follows a man looking for his M.I.A. daughter in the desert rave scene. It's a trip in more ways than one.

This is my favorite movie of the year so far and I’d encourage you to catch it on a big screen.
I wrote about something both new and old for Belgian duo Bruno Forzani and Hélène Cattet: a Eurospy thriller with giallo flare--black latex, crimson lipstick, eyeball peril. The whole bit. Plays Dec 3 at @siffnews.bsky.social Film Center thanx to @grandillusioncinema.org. @seattlecritics.bsky.social

Chilling piece on employment effects of AI on early careers. Includes this line, which will probably become the norm for many firms: "Managers at Shopify must now justify hiring a human by first explaining why AI can’t do the job."

The Irish government spends millions subsidising Irish cinema and this is the thanks they get, a movie where Tyrone Power meets a leprechaun is the most influential Irish movie of the present moment
Ryan Coogler said part of his influence for making Sinners was a childhood love for the Disney movie “Luck of the Irish” and let me tell you…he is so real for that.

Saw Cattet/Forzani's latest genre deconstruction REFLECTION IN A DEAD DIAMOND last night, it's an avant-garde James Bond V Female Diabolik diamond heist seemingly told from the perspective of one Bond who's just been replaced by another, or maybe he's a fictional character in search of his author?

Still thinking about what an eviscerating insult "This book reads as if it were punched into a phone while the author was hiking" would be if it appeared in a review.

The press contact for FACE THE NATION is amanda.leonard@paramount.com if anyone wants to explain to them why people might care about a massive pedophile sex trafficking ring that apparently implicates the president and several other powerful men.
Margaret Brennan to Tom Suozzi: "Can you explain the focus this past week in the House by Democrats on the Jeffrey Epstein files? Is this a tactic to distract from the failure to extract healthcare changes?"
