choosing a clip off youtube and discovered this insane effect is visible on a clip posted 15 years ago, but missing elsewhere. Did Raimi regret his own insanity and remove this from future releases? Tragic.

So this memo translates to "we're pretty sure we can replace you with A.I." right? t.co/KhrqSBuo91
Disney in April cut about 1,000 employees in marketing functions across Disney’s studios, TV networks, ESPN, product and technology, and corporate groups. At the time, newly appointed Disney CEO Josh D’Amaro said in a memo to employees, “Over the past several months, we have looked at ways in which we can streamline our operations in various parts of the company to ensure we deliver the world-class creativity and innovation our fans value and expect from Disney. Given the fast-moving pace of our industries, this requires us to constantly assess how to foster a more agile and technologically-enabled workforce to meet tomorrow’s needs.”

discovered lonesome dove
my LONESOME DOVE (1989) review:

4 ½ stars
How have I never heard of this?? How can a late 80s CBS miniseries have stars this big and production values this good? (since updated to HD 16:9.) It's got an ambitious scope, too. Like Game of Thrones, it plays with your expectations about which characters you assume will live. I'm especially intrigued that its early world-building was made to feel like a cozy western TV show from the 60s. Makes it all the more startling when the stakes and the violence ramp up. More hardcore than I thought 80s TV could get away with. This is the best role for Robert Duvall I've ever seen him play.

My parents considered the show too racy and forbade it in our household. One of my earliest memories was watching the show illegally with my siblings on the basement tv. Felt like the most dangerous act in the world.
@franzsherbert from The Bad Place: It's funny to remember that some people reacted to early Simpsons like it was the most outrageous, insanely irreverent thing ever made and then you watch it and it's made up of intellectually perfect comedy egghead jokes & obsessions with old-timey pop culture and speech patterns

also lol at usa today for fucking up this detail:
usa today: While he approached the job with wit and humor and was a true movie fan, Shalit didn't hold back negative reviews. "Two words, 'Ishtar' ish horrible," he said of the 1987 flop starring Dustin Hoffman.

R.I.P. to the author of one of the most scorched earth reviews in the profession. On the bright side, it’s slightly heartening that Elaine May has outlived him.
NYT: “‘Ishtar’ ish tarrible!” Mr. Shalit concluded in a review of Elaine May’s 1987 comedy about two lounge singers looking for work in Morocco and stumbling into Cold War machinations.

Zeroing in on this part of Scott Pelley's fight with Nick Bilton, where he confronts him for mentioning Don Hewitt, the show's founder, in an interview from last week (left.) Pelley is basically telling him, "Keep his name out of your bitch mouth."
“Look at Don Hewitt and how he came up with the idea for this,” Mr. Bilton said, referring to the program’s creator. “He loved documentaries, but he did not have the patience to watch two-hour-long versions of them. So he came up with ‘60 Minutes,’ which was a series of short documentaries.”

Mr. Bilton said that the recent furor around “60 Minutes” was “just noise,” chalking it up to routine fallout spurred by disruption at a legacy business. He added that the “end result” of the change would be “quite frankly phenomenal.”"I have another question," the veteran journalist said. "Did you at any point work with Don Hewitt, telling everybody about what Don Hewitt thought, and what his inspiration was? I worked for Don Hewitt from 1999 to 2004 and Lesley Stahl probably worked with him for 30 years. Just wondering how you have such deep insight?"

Bilton replied that he was simply quoting Hewitt’s own words from past interviews and asked Pelley whether he had any other questions. Pelley said that he did.

Scott Pelley was fired from the Evening News in 2017 because he stood up against the bad work environment. www.newsweek.com/why-scott-pe...
"[I] explained to him that this hostile work environment couldn't go on—for women and men—and he told me that if I kept agitating about that, internally, that I'd lose my job," Pelley told Stelter. "I went to his boss, who told me that he didn't share my concerns. And so, having exhausted the possibilities in the news division, I went to the chairman of the CBS Corporation, who listened to me, very concerned, for an hour, asked me some penetrating questions about what was going on. I didn't hear back from him, but in the next opportunity in my contract, I was let go from the Evening News."

4 ½ star review:

It should seem mildly terrifying that, as a species, we've learned so much about the entire galaxy and still don't know everything about the human brain. We don't know how many doors go outward, and we don't know how many doors go inward.

I still sometimes have dreams about discovering a hidden room in my childhood home. I crawl inside and look closer, and find another hidden room there, too. These dreams never feel like opening a Christmas present. They're flavored with anxiety. It's cool that we have a movie about it, now.

my letterboxd one star review of Bela Lugosi Meets a Brooklyn Gorilla (1952):

Watched Apr 28, 2026

Says an awful lot about the popular demand of Martin & Lewis that there was a market for a counterfeit act.
Temu Dean can't sing. Temu Jerry crosses a line because the real Jerry already walked the razor's edge of annoying. Saw this with a crowd at the New Beverly. We clapped when he was shot.
