I've decided to start reviewing movies on Plex because I don't really care about letterboxd all that much but I _do_ like the idea of my stupid stuff showing up at the bottom of the screen when someone is trying to watch their bootleg copy of the hit film, Speed Zone.

"(Officers) refuse to recognize local or court authority. A judge says you can’t arrest journalists. Watch us. A judge says we have to wear badges. No. State law says we can’t drive around in unmarked vans? Too bad. Elected officials who want to see what is going on should prepare to be arrested."

It is tacky for really famous people to be in TV commercials for products. Their gambling debts/boat repairs are not my problem, those roles should belong to actors like the Time To Make The Donuts guy and the actress who said "who are you calling a cootie queen you lint licker" in that Orbit ad.

When I asked him what he makes of the cognitive science research, he told me he thinks scientists focus too much on word recognition. He still doesn't believe accurate word recognition is necessary for reading comprehension.

"Word recognition is a preoccupation," he said. "I don't teach word recognition. I teach people to make sense of language. And learning the words is incidental to that."

He brought up the example of a child who comes to the word "horse" and says "pony" instead. His argument is that a child will still understand the meaning of the story because horse and pony are the same concept.

I pressed him on this. First of all, a pony isn't the same thing as a horse. Second, don't you want to make sure that when a child is learning to read, he understands that /p/ /o/ /n/ /y/ says "pony"? And different letters say "horse"?

He dismissed my question.

"The purpose is not to learn words," he said. "The purpose is to make sense."

O certo era todas as casas serem propriedade do governo e as pessoas serem alocadas conforme faixa etária. Entrou na faculdade, vai morar na cidade baixa; se formou, vai pro bom fim. Teve filho, vai pra zona sul. Ficou velho, vai pro menino Deus ou pro moinhos.

"In Montreal, a war is being waged by a hyper minority of people looking to close down venues — those who seem to have nothing better to do than complain about noise to the police. In response, the city has proposed noise fines ranging from $10K to $20K — enough to bankrupt a venue in one shot.”

If you are interested in old New York gay history, watch old episodes of The Emerald City, the first TV show made for gay and trans people. 1977, right before AIDS. My old film teacher Gene Stavis produced and interviewed in it. m.youtube.com/watch?v=2eQW...

Warner Bros has been having an incredible year. Sinners, Weapons, Superman, One Battle After Another...

But if Paramount buys Warners, it could all be over. And theaters could be even more starved of content.

lol crunchyroll updated their app so that you can see fewer titles at once. It's wild how dedicated every streaming service is to making the browsing experience worse in favor of showing you the 5 things they want you to look at. That's now how anime fans work, they want to find "their" series.
