Bi Gan on Resurrection – The Skinny We are living in the Bi Gan era! This hugely talented Chinese filmmaker discusses his latest work, Resurrection, a dazzling epic spanning the history of cinema.

"The similarity between dreams and films is that they are fragmented. And their logic is hidden under all of this fragmented storytelling."

For years we have had the supposed virtues of "grown-up politics" shoved down our throats as a front for an empty managerial administration of unchallenged power. This is where it leads. Some self-satisified briefcase dickhead on TV self-satisfyingly rationalising the massacre of schoolgirls.

In no way should we even begin to accept the bombing of a school full of children as part of the inevitable "realities of war" and anyone engaged in trying to convince you otherwise is a proponent of a grave and catastrophic evil

a great opportunity, for instance, to rethink a single street being the rest of the city's hub for public transport access to the southside; to do something about absentee landlords; to take seriously preservation efforts around built heritage; but that all needs work beyond the next election cycle

excited for everyone to learn exactly the wrong lessons from the Union Street fire and instead implement decisions that continue to suck the life out of the city while solving nothing 👍

Live Nation settles US antitrust case Live ​Nation Entertainment ‌has ​reached ​a proposed ⁠settlement ​with ​the U.S. Justice ​Department, ​according to ‌a ⁠court hearing ​on ​Monday.

Instead of taking Live Nation-Ticketmaster to trial, Trump just let them off the hook.

The federal government had been building a case for years, and could have broken up the Live Nation-Ticketmaster monopoly.

But Trump just let them settle out of court.

See, I assumed so but it’s also in GKIDS’ own Instagram caption about this.

It might be like when NEON sometimes reportedly grab UK rights alongside US for films, and it’s just meant that they’re now the direct sales agent for anyone else wanting to do UK distribution.

Today’s 249th interviewee would have been a cool 250th, but hey

Realised from my tally doc that I'm now one person away from having interviewed 250 filmmakers, actors, musicians or film world people as a freelance writer. Who wants to be #250?

Wait, GKIDS is starting up a UK and Ireland distribution arm?

Cis people need to pay attention to the way they communicate this. They freely admit that after all of their research, they came up with zero evidence that HRT was harmful.

Then they banned it anyway, claiming their inability to find a reason is a reason in of itself.

He’s still not over having to pay his fucking taxes then

Why have they replaced the Glasgow Central letters with an unofficial name? Why have they teleported the Forsyth building from Gordon street to Argyle street? What are those people by the closed Pizza Hut queueing with their luggage for?

Immense respect to the firefighters who kept this from reaching the station and who kept everyone safe; truly astonishing that no one was killed or injured. How bleak to see yet another bit of Glasgow history disappear

Attacks leave dead vs killed

It's real.

Like I know I'm being reactionary cos it's my city and it's devastating seeing this but

At what point do we sit down and discuss what an absolute disaster vapes have been?

Just mountains of e-waste and uncontrollable lithium fires that can't be extinguished easily, putting people's lives at risk.

The Glasgow fire reports are not dispelling my belief that vape shops shouldn't exist.

This is devastating

First pic I've seen of it spreading on to Gordon Street like that. That's very close to Central Station.
