Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.
A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:
Forget ChatGPT Flyers
Say it with 
Broadsheets
Unlimited fonts
Stretch them
Or cram a really long sentence into one line for no good reason
No whitespace
Mix capital and lowercase
Pointing hands
(They're called manicules!)
Don't be left behind
Broadsheets are the future

Jean-Luc Godard's roving video project is a multilayered celebration of the art form’s achievements, as well as a raging condemnation of its failures.

“To me... it is very broad. It can cover the fantastical and the supernatural, but also surrealism or even the uncanny.” Filmmakers Lucile Hadžihalilović, Bertrand Mandico & Yann Gonzalez discuss what the cinéma fantastique means to them for our upcoming FANTASTIQUE box set.

A few days ago I saw a well-meaning influencer on Instagram claim that Kyle Chandler's big break was a guest spot on Grey's Anatomy which put him on the path to starring in Friday Night Lights, and I am still upset at the Early Edition erasure.

A24 made these branded napkins not because TONY is the biopic of a future famous chef but because you will need them to dry your tears during and after this absolutely beautiful and heartbreaking film.

Something I like about @elazic.bsky.social's careful read here is that it points out a fatal flaw with a lot of pieces of writing that pass for "reviews" (even from critics!) because they talk about a movie: saying "this is bad!" as if it's self-evident, rather than arguing for *why* it is bad.

flagging, because I certainly wasn't aware of this and wondered why my computer was getting so hot lately, that a recent Chrome update appears to have added gen AI to run on your system by default unless you switch it off, which I've now done

I don’t know Rosalía’s music at all but when everyone was singing the praises of her latest album I thought I’d try to get into it, but her borrowing of the ballet aesthetic makes me uncomfortable. Which I’m sure is incredibly pedantic of me, but I can’t help it.
