If you are in such a place of extraordinary privilege that you can say that "well, at least they scrubbed AI out of it" then, you know, maybe take a knee. Take this time instead to really think about how much empathy - how much *humanity* - you have lost by being wealthy and white in this country.

I will never recover from the years I spent working in media amid a totally deranged obsession with empathy for Trump voters who wanted nothing but to make other people suffer

There is a type of liberal/left bleakness that manifests itself in a compulsion to announce that nothing that doesn't fix everything means anything. The people who feel the need to keep expressing that are victims of our time (and this medium). But they are also ultimately enemies of improvement. >

At last night’s LAFCA Awards, ANORA director Sean Baker read the letter he sent to FANGORIA in 1988, praising Chuck Russell’s THE BLOB. What happened next inspired him to pursue filmmaking. Great things happen when you write to The Postal Zone!

"Masculine Energy"

Panel 1: Mark Zuckerberg stands on the stage at a Meta all-hands meeting, wearing a little chain and a shirt that says "Cool Dude." "I think our company could use more Masculine Energy," he says into a mic. In the crowd, an employee raises their hand. "Excuse me, Mr. Zuckerberg," the person asks. Panel 2: The person stands up, asking, "By "Masculine Energy," do you mean a mature definition where men in power use their relative strength to protect and uplift those less privileged?" Panel 3: The person continues, "…or a more childish definition where men in power are free to be aggressive and harm others without being held accountable?" Panel 4: Zuck stands silent for a beat. Panel 5: "You're all fired," he says.

"NICKEL BOYS is remarkably attentive to its exploration of genre, medium, and form, allowing Ross to gracefully transition from documentary to drama. It’s one of the most inventive, impactful films I’ve seen recently, and one that just might create a paradigm shift in the world of narrative film."

Nickel Boys (2024): Shifting Perspective

Like everything Ross touches, his adaptation of Nickel Boys exists on its own terms, blurring traditional lines of genre and form.

Googling Stuff: Then v Now.

This title if the comic is ‘Googling Stuff…’
The comic shows two columns: on the left is “Then” showing search results with one thing listed as “the thing you want”

On the right column is ‘Now’ - also showing search results but in this case it’s a whole bunch of stuff you don’t need:

AI TAKING A WILD STAB AT IT WITH SOME

Listening to a podcast where some notable film journalists are talking about some of the great films this year and they keep using the word 'difficult' to describe films they love. Films like Nickel Boys and The Substance. How we talk about great films matters.

It’s really a perfect encapsulation of how far behind Chicago is from its peers that the night we finally get to see GLADIATOR II, other markets got to see NOSFERATU. I can only kind of laugh.

mental health tip, don't try to understand the election results, read hot takes, look at exit poll data, etc. your brain will die. political junkies will spend months figuring it out. instead be like me, get off the internet, hang with your buds, play video games, eat hamburger

I've talked to a few folks this morning who were talking about stopping work on their creative projects. Because it's "not important anymore." I don't know who needs to hear this, but DON'T DO THAT. We win by living our lives as loudly and truly as we can. That includes your "silly" art project.

My politics are basically still the same as when I was a 14 year old growing up under Reagan and found punk rock. I don't trust the machinery of power. I don't believe American politics are about anything but money. And I don't think anyone's going to save us. All that we have is each other.

I expected to wake up exhausted, despondent. but I looked up and for the first time in my life I thought, "there's no one left to look to. it's just us." so I am shocked at how I feel: furious, clear-eyed, galvanized. we who saw this from the beginning, for better or worse, it's our time to lead.

FAIR PLAY - a movie that I feel like I was much more impressed by than most. Whip-smart, incredible control of tension as it relates to gendered power dynamics in Wall Street that makes way to shocking yet logical extremes. Dynevor and Ehrenreich are nothing short of riveting to watch.

Ed Lachman’s cinematography for EL CONDE is mesmerizing: its exquisite, uncanny abstractions of shadow and light are the film’s main artistic triumph, at times genuinely evocative of Dreyer and Murnau in its visual and spiritual depth. Sumptuous, awe-striking work.

Since y'all seem susceptible to writing advice, I say if you're not going to reuse a setting, like a building or house, just have it blow up. Don't even explain. Just blow it up good. Let the reader figure out why all this stuff is blowing up 'cause you couldn't find a use for it

Long retired from writing comics, he's still the best the medium has had and easily gets under the skin of right-wing twats and man-babies with a dry turn of phrase. Mr. Moore is, again, the person of the day.

I hate this headline, because it dishonestly portrays the subject as having changed, when what really happened was reporters & editors went along with a heroic self-mythology rather than performing scrutiny and now realize what a mistake that was, w/o owning up to it. See: Giuliani, Rudy.
