Imagining a horrific update to Casino Royale where it's just a bunch of Polymarket and Kalshi scenes instead of Texas Hold Em.

Leaving Primetime thinking best how to dress more like Robert Pattinson as Chris Hansen. Also, a movie that I think is maybe bad but has many good features and performances.

Robert Nozick: Utilitarian theory is embarrassed by the possibility of utility monsters who get enormously greater sums of utility from any sacrifice of others than these others lose. Effective Altruists: We are in a polycule with the utility monster.

Just watched The Drama and my biggest critique is that they needed to film/treat it as more of a comedy.

Kind of want to make a list of movies that are before things that actually happen yet become better understood by subsequent events. Like how Starship Troopers and Three Kings are both pre 9/11 movies.

Second Odyssey Thought: It is a very Christian adaptation of the story of Odysseus.

Just got out of the Odyssey. Is Christopher Nolan the best film chronographer of the Global War on Terror? Probably not, but he sure is trying.

Having finished a replay recently I think one reason everyone got mad but are too cowardly to say it was because they really wanted a Return of the Jedi style ending and the game went with a downer ending instead.

"after talking to local sports parents, I realized the urgent need for Congressional legislation about coaches who don't realize how good some of their players are, because they aren't getting them into the game. we also must take action against referees, who aren't letting the boys play out there"

There's a lot I would like to say about this (you might say a whole book's worth even!), but I'm be brief. The idea of beef as a human right is indeed a core part US political culture. It was a so-called right that was actually delivered, thus reifying its existence.

Seeing a bunch of people describe AI lowering barriers like Uber, Lyft, Airbnb, crypto, ghost kitchens, etc. were also pitched as lowering barriers and I gotta wonder what people think will be different this time?

I Love Boosters is so visually striking and the actors are so funny with great chemistry that it's worth having someone with a vape pen explaining dialectical materialism to you.

Both a blessing and a curse that horror movies are the only current film genre where you can regularly grapple with complex emotions and feelings while having people actually watch it. (No, I will not see Obsession but I have been told a lot about it.)

I just saw The Sheep Detectives, and I have never been more surprised by a film in my life. I expected a silly, dumb little film, and what I got was not that in the slightest in the best way.

This is a thread for historians: Our most important use of our professional skills is informing the public of our shared past, especially at times like this. Human histories of the costs of Jim Crow, what this all means in accessible terms, it needs to get out. Resources and publication options:

Watching High Plains Drifter and Clint Eastwood is really the best conservative filmmaker of the latter 20th Century. Not exactly subtle but what do you expect?
