#evuwatched Dave Made a Maze (2017) and it was absolute cinema! 👏 Gonna tell my kids this was the true viral Backrooms movie! But to be actually serious: It was quite a delight since I went in mostly blind~ Such a charming piece of art with some really cool ideas <3

On the latest @lateralcast.com they point out the difference between mazes and labyrinths, and I feel compelled to point out that the movie "Labyrinth" is actually about a maze, while the movie "Dave Made A Maze" is technically about a Labyrinth.

Must every cool hip independent arts venue reside in a neighborhood that does absolutely everything possible to prevent you from parking in it? 
Been reading about Paramount's promise that an outside body will ensure CNN's editorial independence, and man is it wearisome to be the sole person on Earth who remembers anything that happened more than 10 years ago www.theguardian.com/business/200....

Every tech "revolution" or "disruption" is at heart about eroding worker power. Studios chased streaming off a cliff because it was dangling the promise that you could make film and TV without ever having to pay residuals again.
And it sucks just as much for workers as it does for viewers. They really have wrecked the TV industry with how they operate

MIDNIGHT CITY reviews on #Letterboxd 🚬🕵️♂️🔫🐙 Screening at Grimmfest, Gig Harbor, & HP Lovecraft Film Fests in the coming weeks
my new favorite conspiracy theory about why all the AI bros are asking everyone to back off on developing AI
To the kid who's playing dodgeball and keeps shouting "Why is everybody trying to hit me?!?" I... don't know how to help you. 
Reminder that @harvilla.bsky.social is an absolute genius and one of our best Clevelanders. 60 SONGS THAT EXPLAIN THE 90'S is high art. Higher, I would posit, than many of the songs themselves.
Dave Made A Maze is a prime example of a title simultaneously telling the complete truth & still not touching the levels of wonder, humor, & weirdness the viewer can expect. (2/3)
Vance can't say anything about Parton's passing because he's a kid from rough circumstances who then chose to spend the rest of his life punishing everyone else for it and pulling up any ladder he climbed behind him so no one else can use it.
I feel like an issue that would connect well with voters would be doing anything at all to slow the current progression toward "absolutely everything now is a scam"
Been a fun run so far for our horror noir love ghost story! More announcements coming soon...

On Tubi and Kanopy and one of the neatest things to just look at I've seen in a while.
Possibly the most perfectly Tubi movie on Tubi (complimentary).

How do you finance your first feature? That's the (sub-) 1 (to 5-ish) million dollar question! I'll be moderating a Zoom panel on it on 7/29, 8p ET/5p PT, and it's totally FREE! It won't be recorded, so register and join us: humanitasprize.org/industry-101-financing-101
This is a politician who understands that this is not an indulgence, it's an investment. Every public space where you can have fun and not spend any money is probably more of a crimebuster than 100 cops.
This summer, we kept the lights on all night, every night, at five soccer fields across New York City. This was the scene at Calvert Vaux Park in Gravesend, Brooklyn Tuesday night.
