Roddy Doyle was an absolutely terrible choice to be the chair for The Booker. Flesh winning feels like the two white guys on the panel decided to go for the least literary, most masculine of the books.

Even ATN News isn't covering Cheney's passing right now.

Thomas Pynchon should write the novelization of ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER.

Bad news for people who like water-themed titles on their Booker Shortlist...

Cool video! Really good eye for noticing this. Look forward to more shorts, you've got this down!

I've been doing little videos over at TikTok, Instagram and YouTube shorts. Here's the latest one, about the mystery avatar in HBOMax's SUPERMAN collection.

Hasn't aged one bit.

Great piece, it really puts everything together in a way that makes sense and is accessible for people who might not have understood the last decade and change as it was unfurling.

You mention people who report on the far-internet; any journalists you can recommend following?

764 (organization) - Wikipedia

Saw video of today's shooter and guessing he's 764 or similar group. They're purposefully ideologically incoherent & are accelerationist nihilists. Nothing in his manifesto or painted on his guns will make logical sense together. The media won't understand this.

Thanks for drawing attention to this! So many people, regardless of their politics, will misunderstand this story. We probably saw the same video - upsetting, and hard for people to understand if they haven't been aware of 4chan or 8chan culture. It's the common link in so many of these shootings.

Totally. From what I've observed living abroad, once a certain person hits a particular high level of fame, like MJ or Mike Tyson, the international audience isn't all that interested in the scandals, or aware of them. Rhapsody did amazing in Japan. This might too. MJ is bigger than Queen there.

Is Michael Jackson too big a subject for it not to matter if the production was troubled, or the obvious controversy around him? Is it gonna be another All Eyez On Me, where the opening is strong but it falls fast?

This is as excited as I could possibly be about a blu-ray announcement. Dr. McKendry and Elric Kane are the two best people to do a commentary. The movie that I double featured Halloween '96 with Scream, and made Scream look mid by comparison. A fucking classic Carpenter film. Top three.

Hulk Hogan is in Twilight Zone heaven. The one with gambling.

I feel seen.

Always a treat

Mulholland Dr. just keeps feeling more and more tragic as time goes on.

My favorite thing about all these New York Times movie lists so far is the vast amount of people who correctly included David Lynch’s MULHOLLAND DRIVE as one of the best movies of the 21st Century. It is objectively an all-timer. 🙏🏼

Secret Cinematheque Home of the 24-Hour Summer Movie Mind Melter

The 24-Hour Summer Movie Mind Melter will take place tomorrow (June 28th) starting at 11:00 AM (EST) at www.secretcinematheque.com. Thanks to everyone who helped me set up my streaming site! Which is depressingly expensive! So tune in to make it all worthwhile!

Porn sites have known this was coming for a while, with some already have implemented AI verification technology.
At least, that's uh... What I hear.
Anyways, even if they try to build a great southern firewall, they can't stop VPNs any more then the CCP.

Joan Crawford. Attitude.

Twin Peaks definitely had a big gap!

M3GAN 2.0: TERMINATOR 2 for the TikTok generation (and regrettably not in a good way). Baffled at why one would make a sequel to what was a fun little horror romp without Akela Cooper returning to write it, but this is the disappointing result 📽️

My review: www.seattletimes.com/entertainmen...

The first movie was good because it was sincere. It looked like a movie-ass-movie, with cinematography that looked like it could've come from the late 90s. It built stakes and characters and honestly, M3GAN herself was probably the least interesting thing about it.

Has there ever been a show with so much space between single sessions?

I just watched a fascinating documentary called Q (2023) about three generations of women impacted by a matriarchal sect of Islam. It's both highly personal, and a highly artistic expression within the non-fiction film form. It leaves Criterion Channel at the end of June - watch it!
