This is really embarrassing from Schrader. What do you mean you can't stop AI? You absolutely can shelf your garbage project instead of making it??

Reminder, specially to those who see Iran's regime as an anti-Imperialist force for good, that this government is monstrous scum and our people will never be free while the Islamic Republic is in power. They are using the distraction of war to cover up rampant executions and human rights violations.

Translation: "From this point forward, if you defend your territorial waters against a foreign aggressor, we will commit war crimes against your civilians."

Truly one of the most beautiful looking films I've ever seen.

I don't think I've ever read a sentence as unappealing as "Jim Caviezel is Jair Bolsonaro."

Rest in peace, Homayoun Ershadi. Thank you for everything, but most specially for Taste of Cherry.

True (and cute) story about my mom's furniture, that somehow keeps ending up in films.

In case you're wondering what level of batshit crazy the propaganda of the bloodthirsty Israeli government has reached: the prime minister of Israel is accusing Yair Golan, the former IDF chief of staff(!!!!), of "antisemitic blood libel".

A good reason to celebrate the Liberals' victory!

Literally every single demographic who voted for Trump now regrets it. Great job folks! Thanks for throwing the world into chaos.

At this point I'm certain Trump's brain is just a pile of rotten mush. This literally reads like an Onion piece, but it really is Trump just bragging about costing Canada's Conservative party the election.

Extremely distressing news about the co-director of No Other Land being beaten and abducted by the Israeli forces.

Extremely saddened to hear about Émilie Dequenne's passing at such a young age. Her performance in the Dardennes' Rosetta is an all timer, and one of my personal favourite.

Devastating news from Iran: legendary new wave filmmaker Dariush Mehrjui (of THE COW, among many others) has been stabbed to death in his home, along with his wife. He was one of greatest icons of Iranian cinema. I'm speechless.

What a surprising turn of events! Who knew that replacing a right-wing "pro-business" fascist with a left wing leader that cares about the environment could have positive results for the world?
