I thought Hollywood or Bust was their last film together

Centrist Democrats are now scrambling to act as if they've always been against Israel's genocide in Gaza, despite several of them recently posing for a photo with Benjamin Netanyahu.

Zeteo's Frank Cappello returns as our (fake) centrist Democrat to imagine the deflections they would use.

my grand unifying theory is that we’re living thru the result of oligarchs turning the GOP into an authoritarian culture war that distracts from the class war & libs turning the Dem Party into an identitarian brunch club uninterested in the economic struggles of the working class

Lol I’ve never seen this pic before

The good part of AI is that the only thing a writer can do to combat it is to become more human. Make your writing weirder, hornier, more violent, absurd, poetic, difficult, political, jagged, dreamlike, ironic, surreal, alive. You don't have any choice but to plumb the depths.

“Can’t a brother drop in to see his kid sister?” — actual dialogue in a movie I’m watching

I feel like if filmmaker can’t come up with a less clunky way to establish relationships they shouldn’t be making movies

Greatest death scene ever 🤣

Yes, I can absolutely believe that Tom Cruise is currently the same age Ian McKellen was when he started filming LOTR.

I’ve been observing gay aging for far too long to be shocked by this 😅

The FX and retro vibes are fun, but it’s a strange film.

This is what I miss in action movies today. Enough with the hero being an expert at fighting and killing, turning movies into martial arts demo reels. Bring back the action heroes whose main ability is simply being stubborn as fuck.

it now takes less than 2 minutes of looking at my phone for this to become my default internal monologue

LMAO -- Boebert confuses Oliver Stone and Roger Stone during a hearing about the JFK assassination where Oliver Stone is a witness

Ads!

Holy crap, #aintitcoolnews is still online. Last post was 4 days ago.

Gavin Newsom has the exact appearance and energy of the mayor in an 80s crime film who winds up at the end of the movie saying “Good detective work, Sergeant Bolan … too good” and then pulling a pistol. This is also who he actually is down to his bones.

James Bond Shocker: Amazon MGM Gains Creative Control of 007 Franchise as Producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson Step Back As Amazon MGM gains control of the James Bond franchise, Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli are stepping back to focus on other projects.

Translation: Bezos paid Wilson & Broccoli a MASSIVE amount of money to exit the stage. And yet another beloved pop-culture franchise is likely going to be plundered and exploited to the Nth degree by people who place profit before fidelity. @thedigitalbits.bsky.social

I don't think anyone is demanding that every person needs stacks of film, VHS, DVDs and Blurays but the fact is, owning physical media is the only way to guarantee access to what you wish to see in the future. We are seeing streaming getting yanked on a whim and it's only going to get worse.

Sometimes I'll just make thumbnail graphics for YouTube videos that don't exist.

An obscure flick called The Day of the Wolves (1971)

Dune has its flaws, but it’s a visual triumph

RIP David Lynch. His version of Dune might be flawed, but it’s a visual triumph.

White of the Eye (1987) is an overlooked quasi-Giallo set in sun-drenched Arizona. It’s a slow burn that ramps up into a very suspenseful and unpredictable third act.

Unforgiven (1992) 😬

I’m an older Millennial who hosts a movie club with most of the members Gen Z. I can attest that they have a strong appetite for discovering pre-2000 cinema.

The reveal of Judge Doom at the end of Who Framed Roger Rabbit

Same here. I asked the chatbot on their website and it’s something about VS members/subscribers getting priority
