great piece on Rossellini as Vallens, and what we lose when we casually sublimate performers into mere instruments wielded by a director

rude of twenty one pilots to just hoard all that talent. the industry is in crisis. they shouldn’t be making music at a time like this

PHILOMENA CUNK: the death-worshipping β€œgamer” religion spends hundreds of hours arguing over religious texts called β€œlore” and in sermons called β€œstreams” but believes itself wholly secular and not a religion, at least until a woman’s presence threatens its core tenets of meritocracy and grit

Paramount-Warner Would Create a Hollywood Jobs Apocalypse - The American Prospect The deal comes complete with so much debt that it would almost certainly lead to mass job loss. That could prove to be an argument against the deal in court, too.

Been thinking about this part a lot. Just this cruel imitation of life in the new resident evil. unexpectedly trenchant. very grim.

β€œWhere lies the strangling fruit that came from the hand of the sinner” in the pokopia logo style but it’s too much text and you can’t see it all. This is a joke, it’s very funny.

beside the point but it’s mildly interesting that scary movie kind of created an entirely different ghost face that coexisted with scream’s. Mascot of all horror metafiction

This app is not a bastion of verified videos right now. The content aggregators are sharing old clips, AI clips, misattributed clips, etc.

We all have to be mindful of what we share. Doing our best to evaluate what we boost and always erring on the side of caution as non-Middle East experts.
