I shouldn’t have to say this but Christ, specific actors get cast in specific movies for a reason.

Their performances are more than just their likeness, it’s a million little choices that only that actor could make.

Slapping a shitty Brad Pitt skin on Kaluya’s performance wouldn’t make it his

I don’t know if there’s a more perfect illustration of the utter fucking nonsense that creative pollution by AI will produce than this choice to illustrate the power of Paramount’s new “localization” and “customization” technology by face-swapping Brad Pitt into the lead role of GET OUT

I took the train to LAX today. Even without the finished people mover and having to take a shuttle the last mile it only took me 35 minutes.

Now if we could just do something about a beer at the terminal costing $19.

Jesus Christ.

I just left the new Kathryn Bigelow movie and even though it was about nuclear Armageddon, it still felt like escapist entertainment watching a president and SecDef who weren’t fucking drooling idiots.

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

A.
Well, I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic.
When I

Had another incredible CicLAvia today. Rode through neighborhoods I’d never seen. Saw so many different kinds of people out and on two wheels.

It’s incredible how much a city comes alive when you get rid of even a few cars.

Eastbound view from Macarthur Park of today’s CicLAvia. Thousands on bikes on 7th street and beyond.

If you're looking to check out any movies while you're in town, this site has a great overview of everything playing in LA. (It's a lot.)

Also I recommend hitting up Amoeba Records in Hollywood as well as the Academy Museum.

People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

I came into The Long Walk as it was already on screen.

Based off the rest of the movie I’m assuming I missed a lengthy scene where the characters trade discuss their socks/choice of shoes.

Me? I’m bringing Keens with some thick wool boys on that walk.

Spoilers: The kid in Chucks didn’t make it.
