iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Have a terrible backlog growing of recent films I need to see, including Is God Is, The Furious, The Death of Robin Hood, The Brink of War, It Ends, Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, Coyote vs. Acme, Late Fame, and The Uprising. Too many films, too little time. 😭

Love seeing Guillermo del Toro stick up for his friend's film. #Digger

I've been SO confused every time I've seen Small Prophets marketed because it was announced as "created by and starring Mackenzie Crook", but I kept looking at photos of the lead, baffled at how Crook could look so different now. Turns out this is just a different actor entirely. I'm so dumb.

Three-player parties are ridiculous, especially when we were routinely ending up in matches that didn't even fill up with humans. They need to up the party limit ASAP.

Yet another fascinating, must-read article, this time about the booming popularity of "microdramas," by the great Daniel Kolitz. It really is terrifying how rapidly people's brains are being cooked by their phones, it's actually worse than I ever imagined. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/06/m...

Phones are a distraction engine. What if the ban on phones triggered France's high school students' revolt? "According to a professor..., when his students looked up from their smartphones, they discovered that an unbearable world had been prepared for them." legrandcontinent.eu/fr/dimanches...

Seriously: Hate Digger all you want, but [pauses for flow of hate] movies like Digger are why we need studios. A world in which Digger doesn't get made one in which Sinners and One Battle also don't get made. You miss with Heaven's Gate and you still swung. You miss with Paw Patrol and you >

Honestly can't stop thinking about Digger, especially Jesse Plemons' monologue. There's genuinely a lot to unpack in the film; for how obnoxious and obvious the satirical elements play at first, this ultimately reveals itself to be a layered, slippery narrative that defies snap judgments.

Not sure how to feel about this yet. Clockwork has already assembled a great lineup of upcoming films (from Sean Baker, Park Chan-wook, Noah Baumbach, and Mary Bronstein) so I'm glad Skydance isn't killing them outright, but I also had hoped Clockwork might be able to spin off independently.

So bummed to see Tyquan Thornton's ankle get broken so horrifically like that. He didn't work out with the Patriots but I always liked him and was glad he'd become such a vital part of the Chiefs' offense, now who knows what the rest of his future will hold. What a brutal sport.

I dug Digger. Don’t let the bad reviews deter you, see it and judge for yourself. If you’re on the fence about seeing it, one thing I might be able to say to sway you in its favor is that it has a lot more in common with Station Eleven than you ever would have thought from the marketing.

With everything everywhere as bleak and hopeless as it is, I'm glad that we at least have Pope Leo. He gets it.

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

Started watching The Crown for the first time recently. In season 3, one scene had Olivia Colman, Josh O'Connor, Tobias Menzies, Charles Dance, Erin Doherty, and Marion Bailey all in it. RIDICULOUS lineup of world-class acting talent, it's like an All-Pro team. What other show can roll that out?

Tbf it also exists to subject men to ritualized abuse in order to irreparably bond them to each other so that they won’t blow the whistle on all the raping

I have to be honest, I am kind of baffled by how much praise Lanterns is getting. Aaron Pierre is great in it, and Kyle Chandler is good, but the writing is EASILY the worst of any Damon Lindelof TV show, the casting beyond the leads is horrible, and it looks cheap, like a slightly upscale CW show.

Update: The History of Concrete is now finally playing in LA, but only in a single shoebox screen at the AMC Burbank 16, which is sold out every night after work during the only screening I can actually make. NOT COOL! I need to see this damn movie already!
