Soul-crushingly accurate sentiment aside; we had friends over this weekend and got to talking about favorite indie filmmakers, chief among them: Martin McDonagh and Duncan Jones! #PlateofShrimp
Duncan Jones@manmademoon.bsky.social · 3h agoIf only there were money-making technologies that billionaires were tripping over themselves to invest in that had the side effect of COOLING the environment they were in…
Just gonna keep hoovering up all the Odyssey discourse I can until I see it again in… let’s see… 27 days. Maybe it’ll have died down a bit by then (or maybe not).
Emily Wilson gets one more piece on The Odyssey and then she needs to move on and let us know what she thinks about Mallrats
Thank you GEESE for bringing some proper old school Lolla vibes to the party.
Great list but it reminds me how wildly under appreciated Palm Springs is in general. If you’ve ever liked a time loop film in your life, you have to see this one—it’s so much fun!

Managed to snag a halfway decent seat for the extended run of The Odyssey in IMAX 70mm. It’s a month away but I’ll take it!
Watch this video full-screen with sound... perfect timeline cleanse. 🥰

Ever since discovering Tradd Moore this Spidey cover featuring Black Panther has lived rent-free in my brain.

Saw The Swell Season at the Auditorium last year and it was incredible. Just heartbroken. RIP Glen.
omg what a tragedy. No words. Just a brilliant, wonderful artist. Stunned.
I’m doing cross platform testing for a major new site feature today and this sort of thing gives me screaming heebie jeebies.
Samuel@samuel.fm · last wk.sentry: your APP is CRASHING!!! the issue:
Really interesting piece that starts out about that “new green” that made the rounds a while back but then goes to some fascinating places about color theory and perception largely tangential to it.
What Would It Mean to See a New Color? — The New Yorker

You should definitely read all that! Exactly the quality of piece I was hoping for from the one person I think we all wanted to hear from. I still REALLY enjoyed the film (and will again) and an incisive critique doesn't detract from that. There is important context in here I am grateful for.

I've done this and watched Star Wars first... I liked starting with the big spectacle and then rewinding to the inspirational material. Made for a great movie night.
