Saw a post saying "I don't want NSFW accounts to talk about voting, just let me jack off" Buddy, NSFW artists and sex workers are being constantly attacked by a government of nonces trying to distract from their own crimes by pinning the blame on porn. They have the right to speak up about this.

ARMY OF DARKNESS is 81 minutes long. It retells EVIL DEAD II in about 3 minutes. Still has time for a whole slapstick Gulliver's Travels thing. Baby, this is efficiency

Dream-casting a movie right now and let me tell you, it is good eatin’ out there if you’re looking for a pair of rich douchebag/evil white guys in their 40s.

Here’s the thing about BlueSky. It’s okay for a social media platform to only attract a certain type of people. Not everything has to be for everyone. You think Truth Social is in a panic that it’s not attracting left-wingers? You can just serve a target audience. But nooooooo - Growth demands more

After my parents were visiting set for the first time, I asked my dad what he thought. He said “I didnt realize, it’s like you’re building a house, and once an hour good looking people run in and put on a play for five minutes. Then they leave and you go back to construction.”

People think "Hollywood" is rich and famous. The reality? Film and TV is a national industry. It's a blue collar industry. And it is an industry free fall. My latest for @newrepublic.com on how the Paramount merger would crush blue collar workers who can not afford it newrepublic.com/article/2136...

The audience only wants films ▪️with superheroes ▪️without superheroes ▪️with incredible VFX ▪️with no "CGI" ▪️that help them escape from reality ▪️that are realistic and grounded ▪️that are good distractions ▪️that are thought-provoking Pick one for your post that will be invalidated in two weeks.

I do not want a data centre. I do not want a slurry of human culture fed back to me. I do not want an app that can do anything but kinda badly. I want machine learning tools that run on-device and use bespoke training data and do really useful but really specialised and probably really boring shit.

If a new technology for killing people came out, and the company that made it said "we need to change the murder laws so we can develop our business", I feel like we would say fuck off, you're breaking the law, asshole

I have a ticket to see IRON MAN XXXVIII (aka SPIDER-MAN IV, VIII, IX, X, XI, XIV, or XXI depending on how you measure it) and it's hard not to go in pondering the sheer amount of money poured into and out of this one franchise

I think it would be very funny if they made all these movies about Spider-Man villains, including a whole Venom trilogy, and none of those characters ever crossed over with Spider-Man
