iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

THE SOCIAL RECKONING includes a scene with a Michigan State basketball game being described as going to OT at the buzzer, which as far as I can tell is not a thing that happened during the sloppy timeline of the movie yet is used as a motivating incident. I hate that this is how my brain works now.

Living proof that there is no such thing as director jail.

Inadvertently or not, Sorkin embraced the "you have to make them feel pain" attitude toward the audience of this cringeworthy sequel that should've been an email. Namely, one with a simple "no" to preempt production and protect Jeremy Strong from a terrible haircut.

Is this where all of them came from after 9/11?

Cops can't be expected to cope with firefighters being beloved AND having adequate funding

The other for me was European conference facility nespresso machines, but he of course took it too far

If he wants a competitive acting Oscar he's going to have to play another real historical figure through tedious impersonation

This is all so petty but I could *almost* squint and try to see their point if this was going late into the night instead of during VPC's very limited daytime hours.

Sometimes think critics vastly overestimate the audience appeal of a movie being shattering, flooring, inducing uncontainable harrowing despair ... but then remembered I'm going to a SOCIAL RECKONING preview tonight of my own free will.

hard to cope with the "real" show on screen definitively revealing itself to not be the very specific "better" one you'd invented for yourself along the way

The good ol' "not immediately clear" and "some disagreed" combo, an absolute classic

“They could take out a city,” he said. “Let them take — Let them take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego.”

It was not immediately clear what Mr. Trump meant, but his comments were met with anger from officials in California, including Gov. Gavin Newsom, who called the president “deranged and dangerous.”

explains why they're so certain that everyone else is so creepy and dangerous

000

charming that anyone still pretends to imagine that he cares about anything other than interior decorating

This is very good but tbh Wilson had already starting losing me by abandoning the "hallmark movie"'conceit with the "music doc" conceit which felt very engineered as a joke on a hat on a gag to bail out into an "oh wait people with lives exist" conclusion.

Really can't wait for the anodyne NYT headline on this one (if they even cover it).

100

The framing device explains this, but also hasn't it been in development for a very long time?

000

Without Ben Johnson, Dan Campbell is the proverbial "one ass cheek and three toes"

000

It also seems like maybe he was ready to move on? But would be nice to have him!

000

I love Shaheed but it is wild that we spent more on him than the Chiefs did on K9

Happy penalties week to all who celebrate. An NFL tradition unlike any other.

Drew Lock. More and more people saying these words, louder and louder with every passing pick.

people with ”data“ are saying it would’ve been a routine flyout, but that doesn’t account for the dope factor, and dopeness should be rewarded in sports

Situation was not improved by no one in the network booth knowing American Family Park's ground rules.

Ty France suffered both a hit by pitch and a hit by roof robbery in the same damned game.

Google Cloud advertising team doing another accidental Intro Stats lesson that any freshman would find instantly embarrassing: "we tested millions of things and concluded that the full moon causes blowout baseball games."

My suspicion about DIGGER is that Iñárritu finally made a movie so distasteful that Cruise forced a twist to re-engineer it, but the twist was so hastily conceived that it required another and both only magnify the empty cynicism of the whole "project".

000

Listening to podcasters discuss DIGGER and am beginning to worry that the filmmakers might be holding someone hostage

Think of the steeples!!!

I will donate $100 to Tom Cotton's campaign if he succeeds in stopping this awful bill.

Still ... wild how they could just show Digger at that ratio in a regular movie theater without a guide to the dozen possible format and presentation options and how many hundreds of miles you'd have to travel to find them if tickets were even available.

The personal specificity of NO OTHER LAND made me so angry I wanted to throw rocks. NAZA is a whole different level: chillingly casual rooftop admissions from war criminals sketch an ongoing atrocity and indict modern warfare itself. There aren't consequences, let alone ones severe enough.

It's asbestos. AI is asbestos. AI devotees miss the analogy because they are ahistorical and don't understand how "revolutionary" and "useful" asbestos was during its heyday. The revolution and utility did not prevent it from being a giant civilizational mistake with generations of consequences.
