Really feels like Colman Domingo is going to steal the show in this one. Excited to see more of his performance alone.

This workshop will initiate with people from Mexico, Latin America and Europe to strengthen the ties of stop motion and collaboration and, in exchange, education will be provided for free for one Mexican / Latinamerican student for the first ten years also.

Guillermo del Toro, Netflix, and Gobelins have teamed to open a stop-motion studio in Paris. The endeavor shares a kindred spirit with Mexico's El Taller del Chucho, also co-founded by del Toro, and will honor stop-motion legend Mark Gustafson.

If you watch two episodes a day of #JurassicWorld #CampCretaceous then #ChaosTheory you’ll be totally caught in time for S4! Just saying.

Wrote about one of the year's most disturbing films, which stares at an oncoming tragedy like a deer in the headlights. The Netflix doc succinctly captures America's racism, love of guns, and failure of police. Me on The Perfect Neighbor: www.avclub.com/the-perfect-...

The Perfect Neighbor stares helplessly at a perfectly ordinary American murder

The Perfect Neighbor uses bodycam footage to capture the inevitable, racist, deeply American murder at its heart.

“A study, published on Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine, showed that last season’s 2024–2025 mRNA COVID vaccines reduced people’s risk of emergency department visits by 29%, their risk of hospitalizations by 39% & their risk of death by 64%”

Benefits were seen even if 0 risk factors

Annual COVID Vaccines Protect People against Severe Disease, Even with Prior Immunity

"The new research also “calls into question the idea that younger individuals and those without risk factors don’t need the vaccine,” Viswanathan says."

Annual COVID Vaccines Save Lives, New Study Shows

A new study shows that receiving an updated COVID vaccine reduced people’s risk of severe disease and death in all age groups, regardless of immunity from prior infection or vaccination

Atlanta, what's the plan?

Constant Scream @ajaxsinger.bsky.social · 3d

It's interesting seeing the different ways resistance has formed in different cities. Los Angeles Organized, Chicago Radicalized, and Portland Got Weird as Fuck. All 3 have had success unifying their respective cities.

I guess my point is there are multiple paths to ungovernability.

Threw on the new Criterion of NIGHTMARE ALLEY 2021 and forgot that the reappearance of Richard Jenkins and Mary Steenburgen makes this the Catalina Wine Mixer of Guillermo Del Toro's oeuvre.

At What's Alan Watching?, my take on this week's Slow Horses, where Lamb weaponized both his farts and his gift for telling a story to deal with an incursion at Slough House:

Slow Horses, Season 5, Episode 3: 'Tall Tales'

The Slow Horses are locked up by the Dogs — or are the Dogs locked in with the Slow Horses?

Your monthly reminder:

Keep writing. When no one cares, persist. When things appear to be crumbling, keep at it. When it's difficult, push through. When you feel alone, listen to the stories in your blood. Just write. The world needs your stories.

The Disney Tron ride *is* fun, but short and often has a long line Maybe watch this movie while waiting?

Matt Ghoulberg @mattgoldberg.bsky.social · 4d

#TronAres is theme park cinema, but hey, sometimes theme park rides are fun.

'TRON: Ares' Is as Relentless as a Lightcycle at Full Speed

As shallow and pretty as the previous 'TRON' movies, the sequel at least offers the courtesy of a non-stop thrill ride.

A decent amount of @rockmarooned.bsky.social's Tron: Ares review is spent wondering why the film world keeps trying to make Jared Leto happen www.avclub.com/tron-ares-re...

Tron: Ares is a blockbuster from another decade, and that's not entirely bad

Tron: Ares has cutting-edge visual effects and snazzy digital cinematography, but some of its sensibility is oddly turn-of-the-century.

People have no idea how many classic novels were originally serialized (or how much of an impact Charles Dickens had on changing publishing).

John Scalzi @scalzi.com · 4d

Honestly if you want at least some insight as to why "classics of literature" are constructed as they are, it's worth knowing the market imperatives of the time. American science fiction and fantasy started in magazines and drugstore racks; short stories and 40K novels were how people go paid...
