“Say what?”

A new complaint filed Monday alleges a web of new committees funded by the Metro Chamber's United for Portland PAC violated local and state elections laws by obscuring the true funding source of political billboards and filing false campaign-finance statements.

Skydance now owns Nick, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, Comedy Central, and MTV, effectively ending US TV animation as we know it. Countless jobs will be lost, and fewer new shows will be created. An apocalyptic scenario for cartoons, yet it's maybe the 5th-worst thing about the Paramount-WB merger!

It’s my birthday today. I turn 43. Like most people, I mull on this day everything I have accomplished and, more importantly, everything I haven’t. So in that light, all I ask on this day is for everyone to subscribe to my blog, which is about both Werner Herzog and my 43 years of cowardice

Daffy Duck shoots himself in the face with a hunting rifle:

Saw Chat Pile last night, and the whole of their stage banter was about movies filmed in and/or taking place in Oregon, including: - Brainsmasher - Night Moves - Prefontaine - My Own Private Idaho and Drugstore Cowboy - Permanent Record Anyway, incredible show.

For all the love our mayor Keith Wilson showers on cops, I can attest to the fact that he was at an early screening of BAD BOYS: RIDE OR DIE to talk to people before the show and he DID NOT stay for the movie.

#LastFourWatched haven’t watched a movie since Monday actually

“Inhabited by Robert Pattinson, Hansen is possessed,” writes Mercury critic Dom Sinacola. “Primetime strikes a uniquely audacious tone. Both heightened and haughty, somber and zany, it’s a film about terrible ends—and the means to those terrible ends—that is also absolutely thrilling entertainment.”

Inhabited by Robert Pattinson, Chris Hansen is possessed.

“What would have happened if I wasn’t here?” I reviewed PRIMETIME for the @portlandmercury.com. It’s very good.

Inhabited by Robert Pattinson, Chris Hansen is possessed. It’s nothing and everything like Hansen, as if Pattinson’s playing to a memory of watching Hansen on a small cathode ray tube TV. @sinacolad.bsky.social is on 🔥

In honor of Patricio Guzmán, all of his available filmography is streaming for free on Ovid, Docuseek, and Icarus Films until the end of tomorrow. www.ovid.tv/patricio-guz...

good morning #LastFourWatched

The Palm Springs Art Museum just finished up a small but really lovely exhibition of a bunch of Bob Mackie’s sketches/designs, what an incredible talent

Phil Lewis@phillewis.bsky.social · 4w ago

Bob Mackie, designer to the stars who dressed Cher and Madonna, and defined '70s glamour, has died at 87

Thanks to @portlandmercury.com for continuing to allow me to make jokes about movies in the pages of an actual print magazine.

The Mercury's Fall Arts Issue has arrived, and the theme is "Clowns." Here's why.

For @portlandmercury.com’s Fall Arts Issue, I preview all the new movies you’ll be going to see this autumn, including multiple video game adaptations, the Stallone biopic, beloved Portland propaganda Wildwood, and a movie-length goon-sesh for vore fetishists. The latest in my quarterly film column:

I’ve been thinking a lot about AI, because outside of art and art criticism circles—where it’s openly derided by even someone like Travis Knight—AI has become all-consuming. At my job, every single person uses it, and is encouraged to use it, and must constantly hear about its benefits.

Doom Sin-acola@sinacolad.bsky.social · last mo.

I’m sorry to share this AI slop—truly just ugly garbage—but I’m actually a bit surprised by how many boomer-coded accounts are loving this on Bsky. At least on Threads, you can’t post anything AI without everyone telling you that you are a stupid asshole fake artist, as it should be.

You’ve just gotta laugh: Portland Metro Chamber, weirdly under their former name Portland Business Alliance, got awarded one of Portland Business Journal’s “Best Places to Work.” A reminder that Portland taxpayers pay PMC executive salaries, and that PMC gave the PBJ’s publisher an award last year.

Disgusting. I’m ashamed Loretta Smith represents my district as well.

ICYM here are some of Eric Zimmerman's insults to the dozens of people testifying in favor of a universal human & enviro rights screen on the city investment policy, which a) doesn't name countries b) the council already voted to develop. These are outright lies about our (public record) testimony.

Hi I’m Dom Sinacola, a writer/critic living in Portland, OR with my wife and two small dogs. I think every second of Bonnie Prince Billy’s “I See a Darkness” constitutes the most moving song ever made, but especially when he asks a friend, “But can you see / what’s inside of me?”

Hi, I'm John Moe, a writer and podcast maker in Saint Paul. I am married with three mostly grown kids and two nice dogs. I like in "Misunderstood" when Tweedy throws in extra syllables on "Take the guitar player for a ride". Would you like to introduce yourself with a small song moment you like?
