Rest in peace to one our brightest and most beloved stars, the irreplaceable Dolly Parton. Her trailblazing contributions to music and beyond are matched only by her incredible love for others and the philanthropic way she approached life with her signature smile and unmistakable, radical kindness.

If I ever earned a billion dollars, I would rather have it taxed down to a manageable number than suffer from the disease that makes billionaires start to think of people as not-people.

If you’ve seen Tinsman Road, leaving an honest star rating & review really helps, especially considering how indie we are. Unfortunately the review bombing by people who didn’t even watch the film has begun. Fight apathy and cynicism with honesty. Out now on Amazon and Apple 🍎

camp miasma was already a must-see but this cinches it

Okay just one thing I found cool that isn't a spoiler. There's a beautiful split diopter shot in the movie-within-the-movie, and the filmmaker character gets to mumble "split diopter" when it shows up because she also think it's cool, and it draws attention to a unique shot in a fun meta way.

The overwhelming right wing sentiment is that COVID was an engineered bioweapon that was also harmless. Trump overreacted to it by shutting down the country, then engineered a drive to create a vaccine that was the real bioweapon that killed millions, and it's Joe Biden's fault.

Seeing a lot of coverage of the stunt performers from "The Odyssey" and even though the Academy Award for Stunt Design won't be introduced until the next Oscar cycle I do think there's a connection as studio publicists test how to get ink for a contender. Richly deserved as stunties rule.

Thankful for the designers, artists and publishers who continue to represent the diversity of the human experience in their games despite outspoken ignorance from some who are so easily unsettled by its acknowledgement and celebration.

hearing that Lock N Load - a company that openly cheered on police brutality during BLM protests, packs religious pamphlets in customer orders, and that has flat-out refused to pay at least one creative after the work failed to find an audience - has gone all-in on gen AI is not surprising

Yaaasss! Criterion is publishing The Secret Agent! Preordered. Now to trick them into doing The Testament of Ann Lee, another film that deserves a physical release!

Honestly, the thought of designing good APIs and libraries just so LLMs will make better use of them kills any motivation for me. I am excited to make other humans’ lives better, often for free (hence open-source), but I couldn’t care less if agents have a good time or not with my code

I will never play a video game with AI generation used during its production. “Oh but what if every game studio uses it from now on? Then what?” I will never play another new game as long as I live then. I haven’t played like 90% of games, I’m set with a backlog if I gotta be.

Brand new official poster for Jane Schoenbrun's TEENAGE SEX AND DEATH AT CAMP MIASMA. Official trailer tomorrow. Hannah Einbinder & Gillian Anderson star.

Really enjoyed Hokum and the whole time watching I kept thinking about Oddity, only to realize after it was the same director (Normally I’m prepared with that info going in). For me those were two of the scariest films in recent memory! #filmsky
