LAURIN (1989) has one of the all-timer usages of Chekhov's gun in it. About a quarter of the way through the camera lingers on something out of place & dangerous looking in the family's attic, and oh buddy does that thing pay off BIG TIME later

I can't even feel contempt for this. It is simply beyond my understanding how someone could get this way. I feel more alienated from whatever form of humanity this guy embodies than I would be trying to relate to an actual machine intelligence. The mind of a stickbug is more comprehensible to me

I suspect the Glen Powell thing is less a case of him being a secret MAGA than it is him being one of those obsessive freaks who's so laser focused on Making It that he just doesn't think about anything unrelated to the mission of Becoming A Star. There's nothing in that head but stardust & moths

Ideally we wouldn’t have industries for culture at all-death of capitalism and all that, etc etc- but if this is the hell world we’re consigned to at least we could hope for that much

Emperor Norton @ashleynaftule.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

It would be nice if we lived in a world where the people in charge of culture industries actually, y’know, LIKED the culture they financed & cared about its quality or at least had the good sense to let the people with taste cook & sit back & reap the profits that come from not fucking everything up

Instead of I PLAY ROCKY there should be a Dolph Lundgren biopic using the three burglars who break into his house, realize it's HIS house, and bug the fuck out as the framing device. Just three terrified dudes talking about how sick Dolph is ("he dated Grace Jones! He's a chemical engineer!!")

My all-time favorite bit of acting from Matt Damon is the way he says "Okay" at the end of this movie. You can see and hear so much in that one line: resignation, exhaustion, acceptance, annoyance, maybe even a note of relief

THE DEVILS finally getting a proper restoration/release just as Warner Brothers faces merger oblivion is the kind of ironic timing that would get an editor red penciling "TOO ON THE NOSE" in your manuscript

Emperor Norton @ashleynaftule.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

The first is absolutely a banger, 100%. But I don’t know if I’d call the beginning of the sequel a grim portent—it’s more listening to an album where the first couple of tracks are straight-up stank butt but the rest of the record kicks ass.
