Letterboxd screenshot Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) Watched by Branson Reese 28 Apr 2022 Abrams isn't a man so much as he's an avatar of cultural entropy. If you make something popular enough eventually you will die or sell it off and and a person in thick rimmed glasses whose main artistic vision is that he loves to have meetings will take it and sandblast it until it's nothing. I hate to see this happen here but maybe it's good that this happened. Maybe every franchise should collapse into a version of itself that makes shareholders nod and shake each others' hands. We should learn to speak in a language that rich people who don't dream can't comprehend.

i often think about this review

Don't give anything an Emmy until it's as good as this.

The finale of Dragons Forever is an absolute action masterpiece. Sammo gives everyone a chance to shine while delivering mind blowing choreography, perfect editing, back breaking stunts and so many white socks!

Aha I see

There were 24 total firearm homicides in 2024 in the UK.

The UK had over 100 mass shootings jn 2025? I do not think we did.

Didn't think I could be more crushed by anything vicarious this weekend than Ethan Hawke reading this speech from Stoppard's The Coast of Utopia. But the murder of the Reiners definitely proved everything wrong.

Michael C. Rockefeller got shipwrecked in 1963, washed up on an island, and was promptly eaten by cannibals.

I guess it's fitting that it's a reimagined, worse version of someone else's artwork

Ketchup is for children and Americans and nobody else

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

screenshot of a tumblr post from user “wildmansters” The thing that really boils my potatoes about Al in general is that I have been a creative professional for over a decade now and the devil has ALWAYS been in the details. Big and small, I've had single-person businesses rip me to shreds over how their colors turned out on newsprint, and have worked with huge companies with THICK brand guidelines with every detail of their brand identity laid out and enforced with an iron fist. But I guess all of that stuff doesn't matter anymore? Who gives a fuck if this Al generated baby has six fingers, that mom-and-pop shop is still going to use it. That rug from Temu says Happy Thanksgivirg? Oh well haha it's just a silly funny thing now (nevermind that you never would have given a B-grade item from a craft show the same consideration). I don't actually care that the Al Coca-cola ad has a truck that changes size every scene, but I can't help but think about how, if it had been some poor underpaid artist, they would have been laughed out of the building. I don't really know how to put it in a succint way but it just feels all the more obvious how much more grace and flexibility has always been possible but never offered.

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao

In the richest city in the richest country on the planet, the thing we can’t afford is to forget those who are left hungry.

"device hoarding" is a phrase that would have made my grandparents become the Joker

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk?

But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.

But that's just me

Hey, you got a minute?

Go cancel a service you keep paying for that you never use.

I fear we are seeing in the UK what has become abundantly clear in the US: for all their power and privilege, elites and institutions are absolute cowards in the face of right-wing authoritarianism. Weak, weak, weak, as Tony Blair once said

omg

I knew it would take less than a day for a tiktok dj to make something.

On the left, the refurbished Lincoln bathroom. On the right, picture I took in Saddam Hussein's palace in Basra in 2005.

I’m really starting to suspect that most of the tech bros haven’t actually read Tolkien, as they certainly don’t understand it.

The gentle hobbits save the “hard men” of Gondor, largely through compassion and selflessness. Not the other way around. The Christian parable is barely hidden!

Nobody wants this shit, which is why they keep sneaking it onto our devices like some unwanted U2 album.

my woke take is that entirely too many people feel entitled to the benefits of a social contract while not feeling bound by the responsibilities of said contract

USA my friends. The land of the free.

A lot of tech bros who were upset about pronouns want to confer them on their computers now that they’re dating
