Had a professional screenwriter reaffirm the fact that a career in writing is horrible, but dammit I'm doing it anyway

‘Currently libbing the fuck out!’ Posts the two people who directly lead to the shitshow of a presidency we have now

an adaptation is infinitely more interesting to me when it blends the voices & worldviews of both the original author & the artist doing the adapting. what’s the point of a rote retelling of a story you already know front-to-back? preserve its soul, but give it your personality.

There’s something almost dystopian about people insisting that a campaign that centrally featured the shouting down of anti-genocide protestors was “filled with joy.”

In a world where all our favourite franchises coming back usually invokes a sense of dread, Predator and Apes have somehow both bucked the trend and provided some of the best sci-fi movies of the past 20 years.

People that will SWEAR to you they DEFINITELY do not support nazi ideology will mysteriously get really mad at this one
EXCLUSIVE: #PredatorBadlands director Dan Trachtenberg has revealed his original idea for the movie involved a Predator "kicking Nazi butt" during World War II! Full quote: thedirect.com/article/predat…

A particularly funny example of the principle that “cops frequently lie in sworn court testimony.”
“Lairmore had testified that the sandwich ‘exploded all over’ his chest and claimed he could smell mustard and onions. But a photo showed that the sandwich was still in its wrapper on the ground after it hit Lairmore in his bulletproof vest.” nbcnews.com/politics/justice…

Making the punisher a faceless character for his first episode is so cool

It’s funny that after this first encounter, frank and Karen go on to have way more palpable sexual chemistry than she ever did with Matt

Notice how you don't see the Aardman animators going on twitter to talk about "how hard" it was to make this when claymation is one of the most painstaking methods of animation? It's because they're actual artists. Unlike those Coca Cola posers.
Bet you didn't think you'd see Wallace in his underwear today? 😅
A new #BarbourChristmas film with national treasures Wallace & Gromit? That’s just grand.

Tom Paine's Common Sense is one of the three or four most important documents of the American Revolution and it percolates with contempt for aristocracy and aristocrats. Today's billionaires are much, much more powerful and anti-democratic than 18th century aristocrats.

The economy being bad in a mostly normal (except for tariffs), non covid way has him really off balance. He benefited so much from the good economy the first time and you really wonder what things look like if people start treating him like a regular politician.

This sociopath is literally saying, "Yeah, I'm making billions building up a bubble, but that's okay, because when it bursts, the American taxpayers will bail me out, so I can keep making more billions." Hard to even find words for the depravity of these MFers.
In a new podcast Sam Altman says: " When something gets sufficiently huge ... the federal government is kind of the insurer of last resort, as we've seen in various financial crises ... given the magnitude of what I expect AI's economic impact to look like, I do think the government ends up as the insurer of last resort."

Bugonia: The best Yorgos movie since The Favourite. Just because you know exactly where it’s going doesn’t mean you can’t have a great time. Delightfully goofy and cruel.
