I was interviewed by Colorado Public Radio about how the the current FCC Commissioner is working to eliminate diversity in media ownership, local reporting, and viewpoint by ignoring Congressional oversight.
FCC expected to get rid of ownership caps for local TV
The FCC chair pushing the move says it will help local news, but others disagree. Vote will determine the future of television news across the country.

Do you like The Silence of the Lambs, Shogun, Columbo, or Sherlock Holmes? When you think about Rashomon, do you remember liking it? Then you should probably check out The Samurai and the Prisoner, which rules. My @wcp.bsky.social review.
The Samurai and the Prisoner Elegantly Remixes Disparate Influences
Kiyoshi Kurosawa departs from his usual dark thrillers for something more historically resonant, part period epic and part mystery.

"If this is what it takes to get a rom-com greenlit these days, maybe we should just let them die. Death with dignity is surely a better fate for the genre than fascist capitulation." @oldfilmsflicker.bsky.social from her zero star review of ONE NIGHT ONLY:

depths of wikipedia@depthsofwikipedia.bsky.social · 13h agofor the first time in two and a half years, a new note was played in this organ performance today!
![Organ²/ASLSP (As Slow as Possible) is a musical piece by John Cage.[1]
An organ in St. Burchardi church in Halberstadt in 2001 began a performance that is due to end in 2640. This makes it the longest running non-computerized piece currently being performed.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cyyd366g3hrxp5rynixm2mm3/bafkreiabq354dz537iuzii7lwylq56yyr4bcrzkj32by4z7fq3clewmssy)
I support Wilson's right to express how she feels about the film while also expressing my right to say this kind of criticism hasn't ever done much for me. I think many are fumbling the ball on this movie due to attributing motives to Nolan rather than responding to what's on the screen.

Republican power grabs in Kansas and Missouri are going down in flames with 18-25% of votes reported so far. Missouri's Amendment 4 aimed to make citizen-initiated constitutional amendments practically impossible. Kansas' Amendment 1 was designed to flip the state Supreme Court to ban abortion
BIG PLOT TWIST in TX: Tarrant County's GOP officials, faced with intense public outrage about huge cuts to the battleground county's polling locations in November, have decided to delay their final vote on the plan so more polling places can be added
Jen Rice@jenrice.bsky.social · 3d agoThey're probably hoping you won't hear about this. But tomorrow in TX, Tarrant County officials meet to vote on a GOP plan to cut almost HALF of Election Day voting locations, plus 8 early voting locations, some of them on campuses. Not hard to guess why. fortworthreport.org/2026/07/30/t...

"Nolan’s film is not a misbegotten attempt to modernize a classic—it is a deft and purposeful reflection of America in this moment, seen through the glass of mythological metaphor." Jeff Yang writes about THE ODYSSEY and the “people from the sea.”

Just realized Nolan's possibly only significant use of a non-end credits song was Edith Piaf in INCEPTION. His period films don't even use songs to set the mood for the era. THE PRESTIGE and THE ODYSSEY have modern songs in the end credits.
Brandon D. Wilson@geniusbastard.bsky.social · 2d agoI have been thinking all day about how Christopher Nolan has never given us a sick needle drop.
