Someone show these fools my social media before they make the worst mistake of their lives

Jesus!

RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years.

His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds.

A massive loss 💔

What was it like playing a dead body for most of a movie? Lee Ving, who played Mr. Boddy in Clue, explains it with total sincerity. And it’s somehow both funny and fascinating.

This profile of Anakin Skywalker, titled “Don’t Bet Against the Emperor’s Favorite New Jedi,” is so good, and I can’t believe people don’t like it. Go ahead and ratio me, I dare you.

a lot of these stories assume The Free Press is a business success. but is it? they generate a ton of subscription revenue but they spend so much that they needed to raise $15M last year. we can't see the financials, but there's a good chance that the operation is a money pit.

Headline from CNBC News: Politics: Trump will greet Israel hostages 'in person' after Hamas releases them from Gaza, Vance says [Sun Oct 12 2015, 12:55pm EDT]

Haven't they suffered enough?

Members of the force's sports squad, responsible - among other tasks - for policing the 170 miles of tunnels, caves, galleries and catacombs that underlie large parts of Paris, stumbled on the complex while on a training exercise beneath the Palais de Chaillot, across the Seine from the Eiffel Tower. After entering the network through a drain next to the Trocadero, the officers came across a tarpaulin marked: Building site, No access. Behind that, a tunnel held a desk and a closed-circuit TV camera set to automatically record images of anyone passing. The mechanism also triggered a tape of dogs barking, "clearly designed to frighten people off," the spokesman said. Further along, the tunnel opened into a vast 400 sq metre cave some 18m underground, "like an underground amphitheatre, with terraces cut into the rock and chairs".

There the police found a full-sized cinema screen, projection equipment, and tapes of a wide variety of films, including 1950s film noir classics and more recent thrillers. None of the films were banned or even offensive, the spokesman said. A smaller cave next door had been turned into an informal restaurant and bar. "There were bottles of whisky and other spirits behind a bar, tables and chairs, a pressure-cooker for making couscous," the spokesman said. "The whole thing ran off a professionally installed electricity system and there were at least three phone lines down there." Three days later, when the police returned accompanied by experts from the French electricity board to see where the power was coming from, the phone and electricity lines had been cut and a note was lying in the middle of the floor: "Do not," it said, "try to find us."

In 2004, Parisian police were conducting a training exercise in the french catacombs and found, after moving past a desk and a tape playing audio of snarling dogs, a fully functional movie theater and bar. When they returned 3 days later, the equipment was gone, with a note: “Do not try to find us.”

every single tech idea is like “soon our robots will be capable of playing catch with your kid, freeing you up to spend more time working on your employers’ spreadsheets”

Rowling spends all day on Twitter attacking trans people and siccing her followers on them. She threatens anyone in the UK who criticizes her with lawsuits. This is not your grandpa saying, "I don't know about this transgender thing." This is extreme hate from a person who revels in harming others.

New York Times bestselling author and film & TV critic at New York Magazine Matt Zoller Seitz's LEADING MAN, the definitive biography of Jack Nicholson, casting Nicholson as the complex main character in an era of American culture spanning six decades, while shining a light on the actor’s crucial role in shaping modern masculinity, both on and off the screen, based on new interviews and original reporting, to Amar Deol at Grand Central, in an exclusive submission, by Ethan Bassoff at WME.

My next book will be a biography of Jack Nicholson, written as an epic story of the transformation of the movie industry and modern masculinity from the 1950s to the present, with Nicholson as the main character. The title: Leading Man.

JK Rowling pledges to keep up fight against SNP trans policies Author vows to bankroll campaigners after Scottish government fails to pay group's legal fees in Supreme Court equality case

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

Finally somebody will release some dang Epstein Files if you know what I'm sayin'!!!

Feeling pretty good about my "Bill Burr has always sucked" take.

This is the clearest sign yet that Democrats are winning this argument. Nobody is going to buy this desperate B.S. I’m honestly surprised, but the Democrats have managed to back Johnson into a corner.

Robin Williams' daughter has some quality thoughts on AI slop

A while ago @adamrothman.bsky.social tweeted "As a historian, I think things are going to get worse before they get even worse than that" and I think about it every day.

As reported by @ifbookspod.bsky.social, The Free Press ran exactly one story when Melissa Hortman was assassinated. After Charlie Kirk was assassinated, it created an entire new section of its website on the murder, with multiple articles and op-eds. That's who Bari Weiss is.

perhaps the biggest story TFPever ran was a catastrophically shoddy argument that George Floyd ackshully died of an overdose. When confronted with irrefutable evidence that the piece was simply wrong, Weiss didn’t take it down, she asked her critic, @radleybalko.bsky.social, to come on a podcast.

Weiss: "What do you mean we need a source before we can say that liberals hate free speech?"

JORGE!!!

This is a huge issue—people don't get that civility in our personal relationships shouldn't map onto broad social movements. Klein may mean well, but he's part of the long project to weaponize civility against people without power.
