Am I the only one who thought Martin Scorsese's acting in the Studio was awful? You can see him looking at the cards off camera almost the entire time. Really bottom of the list considering what he's done in the past.

"i'm not yours to silence" is such a great line

trump is a drooling idiot with a diseased soul and he most certainly has never driven a car, but have you made that drive? 3/4 of it is through wide open spaces with little to no traffic, making it a lengthy but enjoyable drive.

These guys twist themselves into pretzels to avoid mentioning that he took these SATs while attending Bronx Science, a top 4 HS in the city and top 40 nationwide, the same HS Neil DeGrasse Tyson and scores of other academic luminaries attended.

why doesn't anyone ever mention that he went to the number 4 HS in NYC and a top 50 HS in the whole country?

who tf makes Royal Match/Royal Kingdom? i don’t know anyone who’s played them, let alone downloaded them, they look like total ass and yet somehow they get Fallon and LeBron to be in their commercials? this has to be a money laundering operation, right?

if these people commit to their manifesto, it's an absolute insult and affront to every low budge/no budge filmmaker who's been toiling away for years that their budgets are 1.5 million dollars each.

Just completed member survey for the motion picture Academy, of which I'm a proud member. The final question: What are some things the Academy could do to enhance your experience as a member?
My answer: FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE AUTHORITARIAN REGIME TAKING OVER OUR COUNTRY, THREATENING, ART, FREE

Thanks for this good list @filmmakerjulie.bsky.social

THIS!!!!!!!!

maybe with Coverfly shuttering, all these writers will realize the only path forward is to make the damn movies yourself.

How did 4/20 spread? A brother of one of the Waldos was a close friend of Grateful Dead bassist Phil Lesh, as Lesh once confirmed in an interview with the Huffington Post, now HuffPost. The Waldos began hanging out in the band's circle, and the slang term spread. Fast-forward to the early 1990s: Steve Bloom, a reporter for the cannabis magazine High Times, was at a Dead show when he was handed a flyer urging people to "meet at 4:20 on 4/20 for 420-ing in Marin County at the Bolinas Ridge sunset spot on Mt. Tamalpais." High Times published it. "It's a phenomenon," one of the Waldos, Steve Capper, now 69, once told The Associated Press. "Most things die within a couple years, but this just goes on and on. It's not like someday somebody's going to say, 'OK, Cannabis New Year's is on June 23rd now.'"

Kudos Steve Capper and @apnews.com. Kudos.

Happy holidays!

gimme The Studio, but make Matt Remick Ryan Coogler.

Her Fetus Has No Heartbeat—They Still Won't Give Her An Abortion South Carolina's ban is torturing a 31-year-old mom *right now*

I spoke to a South Carolina woman today who is miscarrying - her fetus has no heartbeat - but the state's ban is preventing doctors from taking action.

She has to walk around with a dead fetus for another week so she can get a FOURTH ultrasound.

This is what bans do.

WordPerfect 3.5 was so much better tho fr

a fundamentally unserious piece of shit

of course you gotta have Jennifer Lopez On The 6!

What’s your deepest cut of the 90s? That thing you’re sure no one else remembers? Mine is reel.com trying to compete with amazon by selling The Matrix DVD hot off the press in the old cardboard snapcase for $4.44.

BEST documentary i saw all last year. Do NOT miss this one!

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.

More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.

I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.
