posts from the big chair. i produce movies and also edit video (.mp4 for example).

If I’m out of town for a week or two when something comes out there is a strong chance it will be down to two screenings at shitty hours by the time I’m back. Shrinking the theatrical window for streaming was a huge mistake. Give people time to pay to see your movie.

Are the movies the problem? Sure, somewhat. But I continue to maintain the decline in box office isn't scarcity of product but the short theatrical window. The casual moviegoer will not go to the theater if they can see it on a streaming in a matter of weeks. They just won't.

My assumption is he means this test, which he treats as “they test to see how big my brain is” but that is instead used to test cognitive decline and even to look for damage post-stroke, correct?

Trump: AOC is low IQ. If you give her an IQ test, have her pass like the exams that I decided to take when I was at Walter Reed. Those are very hard… The first couple of questions are easy. A tiger, an elephant, a giraffe..

My cat has cooked up a genuinely funny bit since he learned to open drawers where he will frantically grab every t shirt in a drawer and throw it on the ground. I’ll walk into my bedroom and he’ll be ransacking the place burglar style.

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

Praying that the guy who projectile vomited in my screening of F1 is at my showing of The Smashing Machine. Only way to replicate that live sports feel

Independent of the incoherent action, the fundamental absence here is that video games are interactive. This does not possess any sort of game engine or underlying code to make whatever this shit is playable. It’s just a bad, ugly gameplay video for a title that doesn’t exist. Embarrassing

Oh my god some fucking tech dingdong posted this on Twitter with the caption "AI games are going to be amazing" totally seriously, you have to watch it. You have to. In full screen.
