Me too! Did you see it in theaters and get the making-of afterwards? It made me really miss DVD special features, making-of stuff, and audio commentary

That’s how I felt about it too. Ben Leonberg did some great directing and filmmaking but it definitely showed that he was a professor of film, not a writer. It’s a labor of love, heavy on vibes and light on story.

Wouldst thou like to live deliciously?

A screenshot from The Matrix (1999). Agent Smith talks to Cypher in a restaurant in the matrix, folding his hands. In the middle ground is a wine glass on a table. In the extreme foreground, the silhouette of Joe Pantoliano lights a lighter for a cigar.

REI easily top of the list of companies most likely to do a land acknowledgement before layoffs

Jonathan Cohn @jonathancohn.bsky.social · 3d

REI is closing unionized stores. So many companies that like to pretend to be progressive remain still virulently anti-union at their core. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/08/b...

REI Co-Op’s Boston location is set to close next year - The Boston Globe

REI said it will close three locations on the East Coast, including a store in Boston, as it launches a new strategic plan.

someone in a podcast I listened to today said like "all the developers that worked on legendary games in the 90s would never be able to get into the industry today" and I think that might be entirely accurate

A bus of Bronx middle schoolers pulled up to the Capitol this morning for a long-planned field trip just a few hours after the government shut down.

All Capitol tours were cancelled as the guides can’t work in shutdown.

So I escorted them in myself and gave them a personal tour. They were great!

Hegseth: The military is for killing people and breaking things. No more rules of engagement.

Trump: I’ll be sending the military into U.S. cities.

Hegseth: "A few months ago I was at the White House when President Trump announced his liberation day for America's trade policy. It was a landmark day. Well, today is another liberation day. The liberation of America's warriors ... you kill people and break things for a living."

Thinking about that Miyazaki quote about creators of anime nowadays being primarily people who just watch anime and not getting external influences outside of anime in comparison to Uematsu growing up deeply on prog, psychedelic, and electronic music.

Uematsu is right

Iconic Final Fantasy composer complains that game music is “getting less weird” as “directors and producers hold too much power”

Iconic game composer Nobuo Uematsu discusses the "boring" state of modern video game music that fails to evolve.

Hear me out: a Moby Dick adaptation, shot like the Office, but it imperceptibly slips toward found-footage horror over the course of ten seasons

Do you think they’ll start calling themselves the Tylenots?

Pookleblinky @pookleblinky.bsky.social · 20d

A funny thing about RFK announcing he is pinning autism on Tylenol, is that this immediately pissed off a whole lot of anti-vaxxers who had their own pet theories for abusing kids.

Many of whom are probably sending him death threats right now.

Do you think between now and then he'll hedge on it?

One thing that isn’t remarked upon enough is that Gunn making a hit with Superman, and running DC, is a decisive victory against Gamergate-style bad faith attacks from the right. It can be done, and it should be noted, and celebrated as such.

Alex Zalben @azalben.bsky.social · 23d

James Gunn, on this week's Peacemaker podcast, talks about how Disney fired him from Guardians 3 after bad-faith right-wing trolls hammered the company. He recalls going through a dark time, realizing he had good friends who loved him, creatively realigning, and now he's running a movie studio.
