It’s important to remember to remember someone’s entire legacy, even if they pop like a balloon.

Very tasteful collectable coins of Alex Jones’ face and butt in solemn remembrance.

I think between this and Scorsese, this is particularly insulting to the contribution of storyboard artists, whose work is often critical in helping to visualise and blueprint the eventual cinematography of the production. You can see this in numerous storyboard-to-film comparisons. It is a skill.

A24 announces that they want to put storyboard artists out of work. That's what the headline should be written as. Becuase we should be honest about what these AI "tools" are trying to do, and who it is trying to circumvent. variety.com/2026/film/ne...

Storyboard artists, often closest and most integral to realizing a director's vision, are a relatively cheap part of the process. Often their role is disparaged, or not even understood. And yet one of the main goals of AI in film production seems to be to replicate what they do.

"It really is the storyboarding... Nowadays with CG, you can do anything, and somehow it's still not as cool as that." –Genndy Tartakovsky on why Hayao Miyazaki's movies and shows look so good www.vulture.com/article/best...

GENNDY TARTAKOVSKY:
I was 24, 25, and I was trying to figure it all out. I would look at this sequence and think, How did he make this feel so dense? And it really is the storyboarding. Because it’s still done on a TV budget. Everything’s very controlled, and you spend the money where you need to spend the money. The animation is not feature quality, but it’s just very specific and neat, because the compositions are great. The choreography is great. Everything is very clear, and it’s staged very simply because it has to be production friendly.

There’s this one shot where Lupin is coming around the big plane, and it’s just a pan, but it just feels really great and very simple. Super clear action. You know where to look. Nowadays with CG, you can do anything, and somehow it’s still not as cool as that.

There’s a direct line between Kiri demanding Spider’s mask come off (because he can no longer breathe oxygen) and Jake demanding Quaritch “see”—to abandon a “dead man’s memories.” The old skin no longer fits us. Grow, transform, and change or die.

Stephen Lang is just upsettingly good in FIRE AND ASH. As in career best. So evidently a guy that’s been honing his craft on stage, screen, and now volume for decades.

Jim Penola @jimpenola.bsky.social · 12/06/2026

Something that makes FIRE AND ASH so good is how willing it is to make its two leads (Jake, Neytiri) such SOBs. They certainly don’t come across as perfect, even good, parents and I think that’s a luxury afforded by how strong the adolescent ensemble is.

Among the other atrocities at Delaney Hall last night, state police in riot gear attacked and arrested an elderly man playing a cello through the tear gas and mounted police assault. Well done, Mikie Sherrill. He was so dangerous.

I agree, and I think it’s because we’re seeing the complicity of Democrats in upholding fascism entirely unmasked— because we’re seeing that it’s not just Trump who will enforce the protection of concentration camps with violence, it’s people we counted on too.

In their third open letter, Delaney strikers thanked community members for their support and asked them to keep fighting for justice for everyone unjustly detained at the GEO Group facility. “We want you to know that you give us the strength and determination to keep going.”

This is COMPLETELY divorced from what actually happened on the ground last night.

govsherrillnj via @ threads
Delaney Hall is a private detention facility, run by a for-profit company, providing zero transparency.
I'm going to keep working with families and advocates to demand answers.
I'll keep working with State Police and law enforcement to keep all New Jersey residents safe.
I'm continuing to take every action available to get the Department of Health inside the facility to do a full inspection.
And I'll keep pushing to see Delaney Hall closed.
