I didn't write a review of TRON: ARES because it's too boring and I feel asleep and I don't care.

So I guess that's the review?

There's never been a bigger gap between the visual/audio experience and the plot. Terminally boring. 3/10 🎥

"If AI slop is explicitly reactionary, then the phenomenon I’m calling “ordinary slop” is its reactionary centrist counterpart...it dresses the rejection of sociality and common experience up in less extreme and explicitly reactionary terms."

Ordinary Slop & Reactionary Centrism, or what Alex Warren’s hit “Ordinary” has in common with AI and Adele’s “Hello”

Watching a movie from 1999 and I'm once again struck by all the suits that look like wet sand and pleated khakis and I suppose the lesson is every era has its fashion we collectively agree to forget.

Modern Hollywood needs better haters.

Wikipedia screenshot: When Olivia de Havilland won the Best Actress Oscar, her sister, Joan Fontaine, attempted to shake her hand, but she refused the handshake, saying, "I don't know why she does that when she knows how I feel."

Five seconds into the Roofman screening @jennifer.holz.gay leaned over and whispered "That's Roofman" and honestly it is a miracle I stopped laughing in time to actually watch the movie

I try not to be a snob because I am at my heart a basic bitch who snobs should judge, but I actually listened to "Ordinary" the other day and felt a deep well of despair about its enormous success and how people have been using it in their weddings and such. Pseudo-worship music mad libs.

Robin James @robinjames.bsky.social · 2d

The right has AI slop, the reactionary center has “Ordinary,” and the rest of us are listening to tons of new and weird stuff that has about as much success breaking through the mainstream as left ideas have of getting covered in mainstream media
