No longer speaking to you maggots directly. Will only be communicating through grok.

🎙️ Alonso: "Brothers in white, I grew up watching and racing my man Lewis. To stand here today as brothers is an honour and a privilege. I appreciate you bro for all you do, for being a GOAT and for always showing love. God bless" #puff #king #blessed

This must go so hard if you have an Alaskan room temperature IQ and get your political takes from Reddit comment sections

What’s really beautiful is Dicaprio wearing a shirt in the water to make Jonah feel better about being a fat pig. I imagine that was very healing for him after a childhood of being the only one at the pool in a shirt. Pure class as always from Leo.

Terrible writing. This is just tweets from someone I’d block on Twitter. Doesn’t help that I agree with it. In fact that makes it more annoying

Why come yall ain’t rockin with BIPOC filmmakers? My brother in Christ, it’s straight up not chill to move mountains for Nolan but ignore all the BIPOC and LGBTQIA and MMIW filmmakers. Like, let’s not.

People will tell you this movie was bad

it is pretty funny that the website that tripped over itself to paint Marjane Satrapi as some neolib class traitor will also spill gallons of ink about why Garth Ennis is basically Fidel Castro for writing The Boys

Incredible. All either parroted lines or just refusing to actually talk about it. Fake talk out of fear.

Another deeper reason is since the Cold War there is this conscious attempt to reduce art as the one-sided activity of pure self-indulging expression of the individual, instead of an active process of collective reflection and engagement. Visual art in particular is about "expressing muh true self" instead of reproducing the social reality for the wider society that one is merely a part of. This is why the people most outspoken against AI are wannabe visual artists. Even the "quality" and reception of their art do not really matter to them (they will look at your face and proclaim their trash furry porn is superior to even the most sophisticated image using gen AI), it is all about the joy in the sanctity of the process itself. In contrast, films are inherently industrial and constantly self-revolutionizing. Further, most honest film directors know their work owe their existence to all the other works they have watched during their youth, especially the New Hollywood generation. They don't pretend their artistry is the product of some ex-nihilo "creativity." Directing and filmmaking are more like a craft with evolving lineages that they inherit from earlier filmmakers who themselves were relentless experimenters and constantly remake the filmmaking process. Scorsese's passion in promoting and restoring older films is entirely consistent with his embrace of gen AI.

All of this could have been avoided if Martin Scorsese, surely confused by the Svengali-like spell the AI tech bros put on him, had just listened to a 24 year old Letterboxd user who has referred to both Michael Mann and William Friedkin as “ball knowers”.

This is so fuckingf funny I can't believe it. How can SARAH HAGI of all people be playing freeze peach now? HAHDHahhahahahshshshshshah

Melhor série sobre os EUA desde a terceira temporada de Twin Peaks, tá maluco. Que refrescante assistir uma coisa que não vem toda embaladinha no discurso coerente parecendo uma redação de vestibular porque o público é imbecilizado demais pra lidar com contradição e complexidade

McLaughlin is the new Ryan Briscoe of Penske. One teammate is a multi-time 500 winner (NewG/Helio), the other is a fast up-and-comer (Malukas/Power). And he's in the middle, neither young nor accomplished. If he doesn't win the 500 next year it's a wrap. #Indycar

Rewatched Annie Hall with some friends last night and damn he really had y'all pegged in 1977

Oscar Isaac is a nobody

nevermind i just remembered this one

The only actual problem with 20 year olds making movies is they all want to be making horror pictures. Something we should all have matured past the need for.
