And yes, one of the reasons I picked up LD was because SK named it as his favorite.

Former Pixar employee u/PixelatedRonin fires back at chief creative officer Pete Docter on Reddit over claims on LGBT storyline cut from 'Elio' (2025):

In fact, the DARK TOWER's whole "what if LoTR but a spaghetti western" vibe kinda disappears after GUNSLINGER and gets replaced with a more literary, pastorale aesthetic. I wondet how much of this is due to LONESOME DOVE.

Jeez. Not sure when Stephen King ultimately read LONESOME DOVE, but as I start its third chapter, it feels an awful lot like King's WIZARD AND GLASS--its characters, prose, tone--draws heavily from the McMurtry.

Rumor Epstein said babies taste like cream cheese is unsubstantiated While "cream cheese" and "babies" appear in an email exchange within the Epstein files, there's no evidence he was comparing the taste of the two.

Yep. And with that, I've also been noticing no-so-subtle "Epstein drank blood of children" conspiracy theories. It's coming from people wbo know exactly what they are doing.

Wong Kar-Wai's's ADA, OR ARDOR

Hurray!!!!!

*classic... but what a meaningful typo!

You might be right, though I always saw it as an homage to the eye scene in CHIEN ANDALOU. But my guess is both Spielberg and Lynch are just reiterating a class horror trope: the closeup of a severed body part that's still fresh enough to feed the critters.

Yep.

This is more an indictment of how the publish-or-perish game has normalized "fast food" scholarship and less rigorous peer-review -- which collectively blurred the lines between new ideas and old ideas dressed in new terms. AI can do the latter but not the former.

Seems like today might be the day stocks crash.

In 9th grade I wrote a book report on the novel, and during my presentation I taught the class about ludes. I got a B.
