I honestly couldn’t give a fuck what Sydney Sweeney or JK Rowling think. Why do we keep trivializing politics with this balderdash?

We are at the 60 year old men f@cking 15 year old girls isn’t as bad as 60 year olds f@cking 5 year old children stage of the Roman Empire
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

Just finished Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday are seen in a darkly funny light in Larry McMurtry’s superb western. An adjunct to his Lonesome Dove quartet. With the deceptive ease of a master, he sneaks up on you before pistol whipping you with some hard won emotion.

Future generations (if they exist) will look at how this happened & wonder that in the West the best we had was a 13 year old girl who was promptly reviled while we voted for billionaires because they “told it like it is”

I think AI is the chemical warfare of the cultural industry. It will destroy all the apparently unimportant jobs - advertising copywriters, jingle writers and graphic designers etc - all the jobs which were done by real people (bad in itself), but also by people who’d become the artists, writers etc

I’d love to have a director’s cut of Django Unchained which finishes after the gun fight just after DiCaprio and Waltz face off.
And Once upon a Time in Hollywood with DiCaprio heading for Italy.
