I keep returning to Miyazaki’s response to “AI animation” all the way back in 2016, years before public access/primetime, declaring it “An insult to life itself” within minutes

Struck how the absolute moral clarity of that impression still resonates today, unlike this so called Generative effort.

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:
News Team, Thank you for the notes and texts. I apologize for not reaching out earlier. I learned on Saturday that Bari Weiss spiked our story, INSIDE CECOT, which was supposed to air tonight. We (Ori and I) asked for a call to discuss her decision. She did not afford us that courtesy/opportunity. Our story was screened five times and cleared by both CBS attorneys and Standards and Practices. It is factually correct. In my view, pulling it now-after every rigorous internal check has been met is not an editorial decision, it is a political one. We requested responses to questions and/or interviews with DHS, the White House, and the State Department. Government silence is a statement, not a VETO. Their refusal to be interviewed is a tactical maneuver designed to kill the story. If the administration's refusal to participate becomes a valid reason to spike a story, we have effectively handed them a "kill switch" for any reporting they find inconvenient. If the standard for airing a story becomes "the government must agree to be interviewed," then the government effectively gains control over the 60 Minutes broadcast. We go from an investigative powerhouse to a stenographer for the state. These men risked their lives to speak with us. We have a moral and professional obligation to the sources who entrusted us with their stories. Abandoning them now is a betrayal of the most basic tenet of journalism: giving voice to the voiceless. CBS spiked the Jeffrey Wigand interview due to legal concerns, nearly destroying the credibility of this broadcast. It took years to recover from that "low point." By pulling this story to shield an administration, we are repeating that history, but for political optics rather than legal ones. We have been promoting this story on social media for days. Our viewers are expecting it. When it fails to air without a credible explanation, the public will correctly identify this as corporate censorship. We are trading 50 years of "Gold Standard" reputation for a single week of political quiet. I care too much about this broadcast to watch it be dismantled without a fight. Sharyn

Fully in the bag of REFLECTION IN A DEAD DIAMOND. Every shot and cut more impecable than the last for a film that feels formally exhilarating in its sensory pleasures, while commenting on the fragmentation that occurs for performers caught between fiction and truth. Exquisite.

Astro Monster is such a perfect showcase of Toho’s classic science fiction. Godzilla is only a small part of the movie’s visual spectacle and storytelling. Add its partnership with Hollywood’s heartthrob culture (Nick Adams was in Elvis and James Dean’s inner circle), it’s just massively important!

By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).

It hasn't even been twelve hours, but all three of us have been overwhelmed with requests from media for comment and I'm mostly writing this now so they'll leave me alone.
this is such a painful loss. my heart is broken.
“The most important things are the hardest things to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them — words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they’re brought out. But it’s more than that,...

That is why Maki suggests that there should be more spaces that encourage experimentation with unconventional, “difficult-to-understand” anime that doesn’t completely conform to what’s the most profitable. “The truth is, reactions from the audience are not something that can be predicted, and the ‘difficult-to-understand’ works are there precisely to foster an audience. Back in the day, there was a culture of watching ’slightly complex films’ at small arthouse theaters, and that’s what gave us some room to take on new things ourselves. But now, there are no such spaces, and I feel everything has become a bit shallower.”

Shocked by the awful death of Rob Reiner. I spoke with him for over an hour last night. We talked about his work and his plans for the future. I always enjoyed his company. We met at his Dad's in 1975. Last thing he said to me was "See you next year.." Such a terrible end. Such a sweet man.

Need to convey how bad Minnie has it for Mickey in 1933's Building a Building. Who could have predicted it: two Disney icons fingering a very *ahem* suspiciously drawn pie!?

Wow

Mickey has recently seen personality reforms to correct his boring-as-'90s image, where is *this* Minnie? Agency is key!

I reviewed RESURRECTION, possibly my favorite movie of this year: www.inverse.com/entertainmen...
The Most Surreal Sci-Fi Movie Of The Year Is A Mind-Bending Masterpiece
'Resurrection,' from Chinese director Bi Gan, is a dense sci-fi epic and a breathtaking ode to cinema history.

Ok, people have asked me for years to compile the Annotated SOTN into a single video, so here it is. Lightly edited and occasionally sped up to get rid of some of the silent moments.

My big takeaway from the unified Kill Bill is that I have an answer to "what's your low-stakes conspiracy theory" and it's Weinstein cutting the movie in two in order to get revenge on Uma Thurman by kneecapping an Oscar-worthy performance.

(by @samadams.bsky.social, slate.com/culture/2025...)
It was Harvey Weinstein’s idea to split Kill Bill in half, and although he may have had commercial considerations in mind, it’s hard to overlook the fact that the man responsible for bisecting her most dazzling, most vulnerable performance is also the one whose crude and forceful sexual advances she was forced to reject on more than one occasion. You can imagine a touch of Beatrix’s ice-cold resolve as she recalls what she told him after the last time: “If you do what you did to me to other people you will lose your career, your reputation, and your family, I promise you.” Weinstein was famous for his ability to bend the academy to his will, and after getting Tarantino his first Oscar and Thurman her first nomination for Pulp Fiction, he must have known that Kill Bill had the potential to put Thurman over the top, garnering her what would have been—what would, in fact, still be—her only Best Actress nod. Instead, not knowing what to do with either half of the film, the Oscar voters of 2003 and 2004 ignored both, making the Kill Bills the only solo Tarantino features since Reservoir Dogs to go without a single nomination. If anyone could have foreseen that consequence, it was Weinstein.
