Hey, I'm on Letterboxd. Let's talk shit about movies together here. I'm going to be really annoying about superheroes, coming of age comedies, and exploitation classics.

Later, when I stopped being an asshole about it, I acknowledged that nobody in the business cares about history or the lineage of the medium. They only care about making more money, and that's it.

Colbert will be fine. Television just suffered a massive loss, and we're all worse for it.

So when I heard the Colbert news, my first thought was that it would make a great Studio 60 arc, and I hated myself for it.

Antenna, by Antenna 5 track album

My God, I just discovered Antenna, and it's got one of my favorite singers from the past 15 years leading it. "Lost" and "Antenna State" are classics in waiting.

SUPERMAN is a great and welcome trip to a different world at the movies. It's filled with characters that want to do the right thing, whatever the cost, and it reminds us that optimism is preferable to political gamesmanship and segmenting of lives as pawns. Plus, Krypto and Jimmy Olsen rule.

Every now and then I post on this place, and then realize that it'll never be what the Other Site was in its prime. Oh, The Other Site is far worse now, and I deleted my account, but it's all gone.

So I'm here now in the wreckage of what was and will never be, how you doin'.

buy now pay later is a predatory scheme โ€“ another means of luring desperate people into debt โ€“ and games are worse for having it

I also have a complicated background, so seeing this crusade against Mamdani really pisses me off.

Do I still read Action Button Dot Net reviews like they are the last gasp of hope for a medium that has had the life choked out of it? Or is it for my misspent youth I can never get back? Hey, who cares, this is great!

AI-Generated Psych-Rock Band The Velvet Sundown Rack Up Hundreds Of Thousands Of Spotify Streams A few weeks ago Timbaland unveiled the not-human artist TaTa, who was the first signee of his AI record label Stage Zero. Now thereโ€™s a new AI-generated act on the scene called the Velvet Sundown, and...

It's filled with AI bullshit anyways. Go to Bandcamp and get real, better music.

The Ghosts in the Machine, by Liz Pelly Spotifyโ€™s plot against musicians

Delete Your Spotify.

"It puts forth an image of a future in whichโ€”as streaming services push music further into the background, and normalize anonymous, low-cost playlist fillerโ€”the relationship between listener and artist might be severed completely."

I loved Better Man. Yes, I loved the Robbie Williams CGI monkey movie. It's one of the best depictions of depression I have seen onscreen, and it is a wildly entertaining bit of fiction that contains some universal truths. It deserves more than some write-off about its box office.

A vital piece by @nathangrayson.bsky.social that feels so needed right now. It reminds me of Joan Didion's "Los Angeles Notebook," which makes me think that this sort of description of LA and its people will get retold with great accuracy each decade.

Great stuff, I'm off to subscribe.

That moment where you know something can't be real, but dammit if the past decade hasn't proven that we're far past whatever reality we can muster.

Worker arrested by ICE in Lynn, later released, says agents beat him in cemetery A Massachusetts man said he told immigration agents multiple times that he's a legal resident and that he was brought to a cemetery where they assaulted him.

A man with a green card said ICE agents arrested him in #Lynn, Mass then took him to a detention facilityโ€”but first made a detour to a cemetery, where they took him out of their vehicle and beat him.

RIP to the most important songwriter of the 20th century. Brian Wilson was capable of changing the world, and he made it a better place.

I once met him, and it was maybe the closest I got to touching divinity. Incredible human being with an angelic voice and an ear for pure melody.
