If anyone's curious, here's the very long story I wrote on the making of Her. www.vulture.com/2013/10/spik...

I sat down with a crank who doesn't know shit and she made some good points...
Left brain: these lists are made just to spark an outrage so don’t bite. Right brain: who tf prefers Raising Cane’s over Taco Bell.

They should play the opening scene from this in the Louvre. Loud too. I want patrons gazing at the Mona Lisa to overhear it and think, why are they playing Linkin Park in here, and then round the corner and see it.
Michael Mann's Miami Vice premiered 20 years ago today.
We didn’t know how good we had it.

I don’t think the world is ready for the day when we can reliably test for CTE premortem.
Marshawn Kneeland died by suicide in November 2025 at 24. Researchers have concluded that he had stage 1 CTE.
Norway defeated England in a World Cup qualifier in Oslo on September 9, 1981. Which led to this—the greatest call in sports broadcasting history. Kick rocks, Maggie Thatcher.
@disc-connected.bsky.social Enjoy your news posts, but have you considered screenshotting all the release details in a couple images, or linking to a blog post, instead of super long threads? Would just be a bit tidier.

Honestly not even bad movies, just completely forgettable. Movies that’ll look like fake ones they show in the background of other movies. They cost $200 million each and no one sees them but Netflix will say they had like 100 million minutes watched (a crock-of-shit metric if ever there was one).
Netflix, home of the worst movies ever made
Wemby would be a killer rock climber if he ever wanted to try it.
there's a really simple solve for this: just stop going to the drafthouse. "but we want them to do better and we love how great they used to be!" threatening to avoid them isn't the answer. they aren't going to change unless they actually lose a shitload of business. just don't go.
