"i hate a popular thing" is mostly boring sooooo instead tell me the piece of media you love despite everyone else hating it me? i have many, but the two that spring to mind are Milla Jovovich film Ultraviolet which i own twice accidentally, PS3 game NeverDead, and Super Mario Bros. (film, 1993)

GAME NIGHT and DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS: HONOR AMONG THEIVES fans will be pleased to know the directors have a new movie coming out this year

Audiences crave weekly drops of charismatic people solving moderately difficult problems. Streamer serialization drove one of the most profitable, internationally dominant American industries off a cliff for a decade, and half of them still haven’t learned their lesson. deadline.com/2026/08/anna...

matt yglesias would have told politicians in 1964 that they shouldn't support the civil rights act because voters didn't agree with it in polling. yglesias would be fine with blacks sitting at the back of the bus the way he is happy to do so with transgender people in 2026 its the same picture

You're going to be completely shocked that Matt Yglesias's advice to Abdul El-Sayed is to get way more transphobic. 🙃

You all would start BEGGING for the voice memos if you were to be texting with me on the regular.

One of my biggest pet peeves is folks heavily relying on voice notes rather than just typing what they wanna say. I really dont wanna listen to all of that. 😭😭😭

Oh look, Justine Bateman's scam film festival that charged Sundance prices, cashing in on anti-AI sentiment while she has nothing but full-throated support for the people pushing AI on everyone, has had to cancel, big shock.

Oh. So Straczynski is dumb too huh.

Do you know what would be rad? A 'Live Action' WACKY RACES film that takes the building blocks from the Wachowski's Speed Racer and pushes the boundaries even further into a completely unhinged, wackadoo live-action/animation fusion. Big ensemble cast.

i'm gonna be one of the most eligible single people because i've never placed a sportsbet, my retirement is in us gov't bonds and my 401ks target-date fund, i don't do drugs, i have a job and a paid-off car, i work out, i volunteer at the ham club and church and i will still fumble everyone 😎

HALF NELSON was a 1985 Joe Pesci TV series that was cancelled after 9 episodes, but its intro seems to last forever via an escalating cavalcade of absurd cast reveals, underscored by a theme song that feels like a gag gift when you can't license "I Love L.A."...

Banger of the year, tbh.

Welp... that's officially all my dream film festivals for my latest short down the toilet. What on earth is the point of film festivals anymore?

Casper Kelly's BUDDY is rated R for "bloody violence, some drug content and language – all involving children." A group of children are trapped in an TV show hosted by the innocent humanoid unicorn named BUDDY. When the kids start to disobey, he goes on a rampage. August 28.

Justine Bateman's scam film festival CREDO23 has had to cancel and issue refunds. Shocking, I tell you, who could have seen this coming???

Ian Charleson, star of the Oscar winning Chariots of Fire, was just 40 when he died of #AIDS. He was one of a generation of artists taken from us by the disease. We cannot calculate the full extent of that loss: the roles never played, the songs unwritten, the canvasses left blank.

"Hoult, who has been an advocate for LGBTQ+ issues in the past, will put that work aside to play the Gilderoy Lockhart in the show’s preordained second season, where he can help keep Rowling’s legacy awash in butterbeer." www.avclub.com/nicholas-hou...

Am I the only director on planet earth who has zero interest in using my position of power to fuck cast and crew?

I want out of this fucking timeline.

Things like this are gonna be permanent fixtures of LLM-written slop books, because the venn diagram of people who would use an LLM to write their book is a perfect circle with "people to lazy shitforbrained to proof-read"

Indie Book Spotlight@bookspotlight.bsky.social · 3d ago

This is just so depressing to see. Readers deserve better than this.

The push for Harry Potter the TV show is going to be completely enormous—they're debuting it on fucking Christmas—and it is the responsibility of TV critics to contextualize this as rewarding the world's most transphobic billionaire (which is saying something) in everything we write about it.

I work in an office with the OPPOSITE of chronically online people, they definitely KNOW about Rowling, and the ones that keep engaging with the work are, at BEST, equivocating.

So... now we're going to pillory AOC for something she never even said, so that the grifters can get some attention and the brain dead, no imagination, faithless ass moderates can slag democratic socialists, huh? Ridiculous, and not at all shocking in how pathetic it is.

Several people have asked about VAST OF NIGHT recently, as it's no longer streaming on Amazon. Spoke with director Andrew Patterson about it last night and he took the rights back, partnered with someone, and a physical and new streaming release is coming soon. So VAST OF NIGHT is coming back!

There are not NEARLY enough Treasure Hunting movies for just how good that fucking genre is.
