PRIMETIME: An all-American nightmare, the surface of which feels like neon and burlap, and it just keeps tightening around your face. One of the queasiest, most mesmeric things I’ve seen in ages. Show business is a groomer, too.

Yesterday someone tried to sell me on AI as a legit resource for legal advice, and when I told him it glitches and hallucinates enough to be a genuine liability he responded “well, it’s the future” with a special kind of annoyance. It’s only! The future! If we keep! Using it!

A thing I learned about Meta when I was trying to understand how their statements relate to their actions a few years ago is that *they just tell absolutely indefensible lies* and journalists almost always let them. They believed no one would ever punish them for it in any way that matters.

I have discovered that the massive “twist” I saw leaked about DIGGER is, in fact, just the premise of the film.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

COYOTE VS. ACME: A double miracle — first that it was ever released, second that it’s this good. Packed with real jokes that fully understand the characters, filmed and staged with genuine cleverness. And it has a thesis that moves me. We fail that we may keep trying. And thus living.

I think its important to understand the campus sexual assault crisis is way worse than you think. universities suspend just 1/12,400 students each year for sexual misconduct & expel 1/22,900. once you read title ix administrators in their own words, you get a sense why that is:

One problem with widespread adoption of generative AI is that the results suck now, when it’s had an endless well of actual good art to train on. What happens when all it has to train on is the dogshit made with generative AI?

At this point, though, if someone contends they've never listened to even one of Weird Al’s polka medleys, it may say more about the listener than the accordion. Or, for that matter, what they want to project to the world.

I know we’re all supposed to be concerned by the creeping menace of antisemitism on the left (and there is careless talk that crosses line), but you hop over to Twitter and thousands of right wing chuds are saying that Jews are just naturally pedophiles. It’s not even close.

RESIDENT EVIL: A full-throttle unpretentious mean-spirited spookablast that hits the ground running and simply does not stop. Genuinely scary, very fucking funny (mostly because the protagonist is a well-meaning doofus who’s just doing his inadequate best), and beautifully shot.

The thing about trying to appeal to right wing bigots is that right wing bigots are all stupid idiots who get 100% of their news from propagandists so they will never actually find out that you were trying to appeal to them in the first place

I feel enough time has gone by that I can express my utter disgust with Hannah Gadsby’s premise in NANETTE. The idea that comedy cannot be truly challenging, that it automatically lets viewers off the hook, is unbearably trite. Like okay I guess Richard Pryor can suck it.

In an odd way, AI and streaming have only ensured the longevity of theatrical film. AI because people recoil from it and want to see real shit, and streaming because the subsidized era is over. Costs are up and service is worse and now ads are inevitable. People just like a dang movie.

LIVING TO DIE: A Wings Hauser special. All the tits and shootouts you want from a 90s B movie, but with a special sauce that’s all Wings. Everything in this tawdry, nihilistic noir is a riff - the black box theater acting, the half-improvised dialogue, the jazzy music, the woozy plotting. It rules.
The poster for LIVING TO DIE. 

Tagline:
“Some people play for money.
Some people play for keeps.”

Against the backdrop of old Vegas, Wings holds actress Darcy DeMoss. Two men fire shotguns. There is an explosion.

Now that CAMP MIASMA is streaming we get to experience any number of unbelievably bad faith takes. What’s that? The aesthetic of the titular 80s slasher incorporates jarring modern elements? Why, it’s almost as though we’re told over and over again that the POV is dissociative and subjective.

The year is 2026, you voted for Kamala Harris:
- gas is 7.87 per gallon
- rent is 4,000 per month
- groceries, insurance &utilities are up over 60%
- there are gangs of illegals taking over your city blocks
- inflation is 16%

It feels like people are getting fed up of The Way Shit Works Around Here. Like, nobody wants data centers and streaming services are charging full price for ads and product improvements have become incremental to the point of invisibility. Feels like the end of a moment for tech as we’ve known it.

Fascinated by the widespread online hatred for Alejandro González Iñárritu. Like at a certain point we were all supposed to agree that the guy who made BIRDMAN and THE REVENANT was a pretentious, bullshit-peddling hack instead of an artist who seems wonderfully determined to show us new things.

The funniest recurring bit in HOPE is also on some level the saddest and most important thing in the movie: nearly every character has some unexplained stockpile of artillery. They all think they’re action heroes. But they’re just terrified idiots who could have avoided all of this by not shooting.

One of my life’s greatest pleasures was the joy my dad got from little character acting moments. He’d smile and giggle while doing a little impression of Malkovich’s insane Russian accent in ROUNDERS, or get sincerely emotional over Anton Walbrook’s immigration speech in COLONEL BLIMP. I miss him.

HOPE: Bonkers. A dark chase comedy about dumbass provincial militarism shot like a dude is trying to outdo George Miller (and has the cojones to nearly do it), with monsters that look like half-finished PS2 graphics. Nothing can prepare you for the unhinged, wildly ambitious last five minutes.

MATINEE is a movie so blissfully happy that it short-circuits my critical faculties. Breezy, witty pop art by a boomer who remembers how fucking dumb life was, and how wonderful his escapes from it. The sequence in which John Goodman explains horror films is something I could watch a hundred times.
