Kinda wild how CDMX feels like all my favorite cities rolled into one
Currently undertaking just such an enterprise; can confirm its superiority

Husband just reminded me of the time I had the idea of an influencer named Testicular who repeatedly hits himself in the balls with a hammer
So many brains have been so, so utterly broken
Jason Koebler@jasonkoebler.bsky.social · last wk.The wildest one of these I got was a three PDF "press release" rollout from someone who said his ChatGPT sometimes got something wrong and that OpenAI didn't respond to his support ticket and fashioned himself as a kind of big tech whistleblower
Buying a ticket to see YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING is a lot less expensive than investing in Theranos, so more people can do it and the stakes are lower. But otherwise it’s basically the same
A24 is the author of YCSE in the same sense that Mattel was the author of BARBIE
Believe women, but only when they’re telling the truth

Coming of age in the DC suburbs, before making my way online later in the 00s, I’d pore over the film section of the Washington Post Friday arts supplement every weekend; Ann was my first favorite film critic, and shaped my early ideas of what film criticism could do; I owe her a great deal.

Starting a conspiracy theory that Gerwig made her Narnia movie bad on purpose in order to take down Netflix
Getting some pushback for this but so far all of the pushback is just proving my point
More than anything, the brouhaha around YCSE (still haven’t seen) has me thinking about spoiler epistemology. When, if ever, and under what circumstances does having a film “spoiled” actually make a difference? Should it? I went ahead & sought out YCSE spoilers and I’m glad I did! Free your mind!!!
Brinkemization progress report: finally got around to watching THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE in preparation for the relevant chapter of Life-Destroying Diagrams, and to better anticipate the conceptual payoff of the book’s magnificent cover design. Nobody told me THC is just one big WWII allegory!
Fit of a woman who correctly identified George Braques as the non-Picasso co-inventor of cubism in an on-stage conversation several days prior
At the bar after a long day of work and they’re playing Case Lang Veirs straight through and we’re debating what is and is not a soup. Beautiful
Which is more obnoxious: tweeting bitterly about *not* getting into a festival screening, or tweeting smugly about getting into a hot-ticket festival screening that others were turned away from? I can’t decide
