Writing a fake TV show or movie into your script is a great cheat, because it means you can get distracted by a new script idea without technically procrastinating from your work in progress.

My favorite part of the screening was overhearing a discussion between two Gen-X lesbians on the way out. "I enjoyed its raucous explicit spirit but he no longer has the je ne sais quoi that he did in the 90s" "susan, none of us have the je ne sais quoi of the 90s anymore"

I enjoyed Gregg Araki's I WANT YOUR SEX primarily because it was amusing to go to the mall & see Olivia Wilde lube up a big pink dildo and stick it in Cooper Hoffman's ass.

You lost me at "The Purge but for having sex," then had me part way back at "From the director of Easy A," but then lost me completely at "From the director of Anyone But You."

People like to quote the Anna Karenina line, "All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way." But the Max Miller story is a reminder that so many unhappy families are unhappy the same way: forced to deal with cruelty from an abuser.

Physical abuse is horrific. But emotional abuse gets too little attention. And adult who takes their 2-year-old's bunny, which she uses for self-soothing, is rabidly spiteful.

Last week I met an elder neighbor in the elevator after a dog walk. She asked Marlowe's name, then asked if I'm a film noir fan and asked my favorites. We rode the elevator together again just now and she was eager to tell me about her weekend movie watching. I'm delighted to have this brand.

this is an interesting interview and if i were clipping it for social media i would have excerpted "We're still a place where we don't downrank links. We love sending traffic to people. We send two million clicks a day to publishers" rather than the part that'll just piss people off lol

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."
