James Cameron does it again. "Avatar: Fire and Ash" is bigger, longer, more unwieldy—and the most enthralling Hollywood blockbuster in years. Stirring spectacle. Wrenching melodrama. Overwhelming beauty. No one’s making old-school religious epics like this www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

At some point you realize that the prominent, powerful people you see on your screens are mostly morons who either got lucky or are saying things billionaires want to hear, and that nobody smart or competent is in charge, and we're all just collectively flailing, and it's a miracle anything works.

Adult art calls for adult responses, and tbh that includes an awareness that some personal discomfort/wariness for challenging pieces may stem from irl experience with traumas explored in the material, not pearl-clutching prudishness.
(Of course this discomfort should never mutate into censorship)

There are those who shame people (specifically poor people) for the choices of food they buy with the limited resources they have.
I shame people with the means (ESPECIALLY COLONISERS) to buy any food but still make the most boring, bland-ass foods ever to grace the internet. We are not the same.

Today I learned there is a big-budget CG-animated feature-length sequel to #Baahubali that kickstarts a new multi-part story arc. Animation most probably handled by Fortiche.

Somewhat related to this: I will never stop being livid at the smears against the Oxford AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine (not-for-profit and stable at refrigerator temps, making it easier to ship and store, especially in the Global South). My first three shots were all AZ by choice.
To be clear: the decision to deny most people in the UK the covid vaccine is related to money, *not* based on a public health concern. In other words, Labour did not allocate enough money for covid vaccines so their "cost-effectiveness" end up the determining factor. www.gov.uk/government/p...
