Hollywood is a working/middle class industry, with top earners being the recognizable face much the way that tech CEOs are. It is truly truly desperate out there.

The vast majority of creatives are struggling. Writers are leaving LA in droves. Directors are driving Uber when they aren't lucky enough to get gigs directing dubs or subs for foreign films. Recognizable actors are finding jobs they won't be recognized in. The whole industry is shitty right now.

The nearest thing to art populists like is kitsch, matching their childish narcissism. The rest is something they don't understand and can't control--so they mangle or destroy it in the most philistine way imaginable: www.nytimes.com/2026/09/20/u...

Internal emails and documents demonstrate the political capture of the institution, including how officials once pursued a plan to unload much of the art collection.

i dislike the kelvin timeline enormously. i know they were trying to evoke "star wars", but to me what they evoke is soderbergh's "behind the candelabra", a movie about an older man who gives a fancy vehicle to an attractive younger man of no discernible talent, intellect, or ability.

my favorite thing about this video in which george lucas accidentally walks across the frame in some random documentary is that george lucas has two very distinct expressions in his eyes as he spots the camera crew and eventually decides to continue on his way… m.youtube.com/watch?v=H7xI...

let me get this straight; an author whose work is the publishing industry’s best argument for illiteracy and dead-eye, algorithm-grubbing sociopath who gives both performative philanthropy and proto-snuff content a bad name teamed up to “write” a novel. exactly who did they think would fall for it?

Seriously, don’t watch the fucking show. Don’t review it or recap it. Don’t give it the fucking time of day. This isn’t like “Aw, okay, well, don’t do it next time!” This is like, “We are no longer friends.”

22 episodes yearly on a weekly schedule made american tv global and profitable. how's that "disruption" working out for you, streamers?

i often wonder if part of the reason for the "uncanny valley" and the rejection of many attempts to create photorealistic humans and environments in films comes from an excess of visual perfection.

the film “network” and the book “1984” are among my favorite and most revisited works. i always find it interesting that the discourse around then is so frequently centered around how they “predicted” reality tv and the surveillance state…

the first 25 minutes of “escape from new york” are a masterpiece of world building - deliberate, master shots that deliver information visually and efficiently, a steady pace that builds tension without bombast, minimal character introductions that nevertheless deliver all you need to know. genius.

the popularity of the books has annoyed me for decades. to me it’s a mostly competent pastiche of fay weldon by way of roald dahl. now its capacity to expose many actors i love as prioritizing filthy lucre over common decency has become a fountainhead of disappointment. fuck this IP and its creator.
