Jack Smith also directed NO PRESIDENT. Just saying.

I’m now seeing people comparing DIGGER to MEGALOPOLIS and guys, stop it, you’re going to make me go see the damned thing.

Yes. That is a fucking birthright in Texas.

There is one house in my neighborhood that had Trump signs in the window for years. They took them down a few months back.

“Audience reviews” “fan reactions” it is simply none of my business what anyone who is not my friend or a critic I respect thinks about a movie

Are we to assume that Venice rejected DIGGER and then they played it off like "skipping the festivals"?

Erm, this list makes a persuasive argument on behalf of Resident Evil.

It's like planet Melancholia. It's coming right at us.

This is like those phony CNN election night videos where they "predict" winners based on absolutely nothing. Another instance of people adopting the trappings of media authority while knowing less than nothing about the subject at hand.

This came up on my YouTube feed and my god what planet is this from.

Predictions of the 10 2027 Best Picture nominees, with universally despised turd DIGGER among them. Also PROJECT HAIL MARY for some reason.

Everything associated w AI comes from a warped techbro fantasy of a life without friction, where everything is both instantaneous and made to order. It cannot challenge you, it cannot surprise you, it can only flatter your preconceptions. AI art, AI writing, AI "friends," AI employees. All the same.

So $26.00 (1962) = $170.73 (2026). Therefore $1 USD (1964) is equal to approx. $6.57 USD (2026). I have always said that the physical impossibility of time travel is only the second most important reason it will never exist. The first is, it would permanently tank the global economy.

A new film that's worth looking out for: DIE ANDERE SEITE ("The Other Side") by Mariko Minoguchi. A rare contagion film from the perspective of the infected rather than the "unsullied." Typically great performance by Nina Hoss. Seems like the kind of film that might show up in next year's ND/NF.

I hate to break it to you, Victor, but you look like a total badass.

At a certain level, only God-given talent could produce this type of answer. It just can't be taught.

It really gives the game away when the anti trans orgs are calling the election of the neo nazi party in Germany a "glimmer of hope."

This is a nation deeply steeped in Puritanism. Puritans believed education took you further away from God.

ANY LEFT-LEANING OPINION: virtue signaling ANY RIGHT-LEANING OPINION: sincerely held belief

The framing of all this shows how skewed right the media is. Why don’t we ask pop-country fans what they think of the rest of us? We know where Morgan Wallen stands.

I’ve never seen a single episode of FRIENDS. It coincided with grad school for me and I never had time to watch TV back then. Never felt like catching up on it. I “get” it. It’s ubiquitous.

Never seen IN LIVING COLOR? Homey don’t play dat.

Contemporary country music is often openly racist and MAGA but yes, it’s the people who don’t listen to it who are “virtue signaling.” This is the same logic by which the GOP is entitled to rule, and Dems and liberals are just arrogant elitists who pretend not to hate immigrants for clout.

You don’t often see mainstream critics pretending so hard that there’s still a monoculture and they are the ones driving it.

Alas, the Greatest TV Show of the 21st century was never made, because the showrunner brought an iced coffee into her pitch meeting with HBO.

This is Llinás' most Laurence Sterne effort yet. And he handles Borges' fash-turn very well.
