It takes a while to get there, but everything turns out alright for El and the boys. Also, Steve Harrington isn’t just some fancy hairdo; he’s also the best damn babysitter in all of Hawkins, Indiana.

“Sha Po Lang” by Wilson Yip (Review) - Opus
When its firing on all cylinders, there’s nothing I love as much as Hong Kong cinema, and Sha Po Lang is a reminder of almost every reason why.

Reposting this for the Monday evening crowd… The country music genre prides itself on authenticity, sincerity, and tradition. So why is it so uniquely primed for AI-generated slop like Breaking Rust?

there’s a verse near the very end of the Bible that says anyone who adds new words to it will have an equal amount of torments added to their time in hell.

This @gianmarcosoresi.bsky.social bit from 2022 now seems strikingly relevant in light of Megyn Kelly’s recent statement that there’s “a difference between a 15-year-old and a 5-year-old” when it comes to child sexual abuse.

Mystifying that anybody, especially a fiction writer, is still under the impression that there's only a single James Bond film continuity
Do you actually think Casino Royale was supposed to be a prequel to Dr. No? Did you not catch the word "reboot" at any point when that film came out?

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."

We’ve lost a true cinema legend. Seeing Nakadai’s performance in “Ran” on the big screen earlier this year was a true privilege.
Tatsuya Nakadai, Japanese Film Legend That Starred in ‘Ran,’ ‘Harakiri’ and ‘The Human Condition’ Trilogy, Dies at 92
Tatsuya Nakadai, one of Japan's most celebrated actors who was a frequent collaborator of Akira Kurosawa and Masaki Kobayashi, died. He was 92.

If there’s one thing I simply don’t have enough of in my life, it’s negotiating with insurance companies.
Trump: "I want the money to go into an account for people where they buy their own health insurance. It's so good. The insurance will be better. It'll cost less. Everybody is gonna be happy. They're gonna feel like entrepreneurs. They're actually able to go out & negotiate their own insurance"

my theory is Musk relishes the idea of being a Renaissance Man and know that means he should be a refined appreciator of art but is too busy with anime porn and anti-trans youtube videos to even watch a movie, let alone read a book, God forbid go to an art museum. that's why JCO's post cut so deep.

Akira Kurosawa’s “Ran” (1985). Incredible images, an amazing soundtrack, solid performances, and heavy observations of human nature. Even better, I got to see it in the theater.
