One of my first shoegaze records, though shoegaze always felt like a bit of a misnomer in describing it compared to, say, Slowdive or Lush. Regardless, this is an absolutely killer album filled with riffs for days (e.g., “Son of Mustang Ford,” “Rave Down”).

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

A high water mark for serialized #anime storytelling, adroitly balancing action, suspense, and, of course, philosophical speculation about technology and human nature. My ★★★★ review of “Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex,” Season One (2002): opus.ing/diet/540721

Variety didn't take heed of the AP guidance, I suppose. So let me restate: AI cannot "be an actor." Nor can it love anything. It can proffer those words but only as a thin veneer, in turn commodifying those vital concepts

I highly doubt that Richard Harrison is the first name that comes to mind when you think about martial arts cinema. But the Z-grade “cut and paste” ninja flicks that he made in the ’80s represent a truly unique niche in cult cinema. My tribute to Harrison, who died last week at the age of 90:

At this point, I hold little hope that Trump and his MAGA sycophants will develop a decent cultural hermeneutic, never mind any sense of shame or propriety. They’re too busy having fun trolling the rest of us with a stream of AI-generated images that are both incredibly stupid and deeply alarming.
