DIGGER is great. Just be prepared for a very different movie than the marketing is letting on. (That's about all I can say without spoiling.) They're trying to set up your expectations so they can subvert them. I loved the bait-and-switch, personally, but I can see why the reception would be mixed.

Not bringing a drink to a job interview is good practice for the inevitability of some jobs, which is that they are full of inane, arbitrary litmus tests in lieu of actual work.

This warning from David Letterman to the media from just a year ago feels sadly too relevant today. He is right: You can't appease a tyrant.

Learning that being a good director means undoing the solipsism that drove my early creative life. As it turns out, you don’t always have to be the doer. Other people have the knowledge, passion, and work ethic to do things, too. Other people, with real brains and hearts and bodies. Go figure!

I’m as cynical as anybody about remakes. But damn, this looks magical. It’s cool to see N64 games revisited after two decades of 3D graphics and see what a new generation of artists can do with it.

Great insights in this episode, not just on the state of the video game industry, but also on industry as a whole. We’ve entered an era where everything is finance and nothing is product design, and it’s collapsing institutional businesses into one big pump-and-dump scam.

I saw BACKROOMS this weekend. Here’s my review. I liked it a lot, I just like jokes more. stephenheathweidman.com/film-review-...

A screen grab of my review of BACKROOMS with a picture of a distraught Renate Reinsve against the yellow walls in the movie. The text reads:

A psychologist wakes up tied to a chair in the warped simulacra of a mid-century dining room, surrounded by mute Escher-esque homunculi and the spiraling, knife-wielding furniture salesman she was trying to rescue. She asks his carnivorous, elongated doppelgänger, who is wearing a pirate costume, “why the long face?”

Guess you had to be there.

Worse still because the labor required to be a perpetual TV host now has to compete with the steady churn of AI slop that robs, contorts, and replaces the content you produce. Techno-feudalism at its most extractive.

I think COYOTE VS. ACME might be flawless. I’m biased, because Wile E. and the Road Runner were my favorite Looney Tunes growing up. But this movie was WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT? reborn, and I wouldn’t change a single thing about it. 10/10 for me.

I love when fantasy series have a dude called something like Stephen the All-Seeing, Keeper of the Demon Sword, hero of the Volcano Age. But in some tiny village, he's known as Bees Steve, that weird guy who loves beekeeping. The more uppercase titles the legend has, the funnier the contrast is.
