Rollins: "We had an amazing cabinet meeting. President Trump walked in before the cameras were there. We all stood up & gave him a two minute standing ovation. There's so much love in that room & respect & just appreciation for him. No one could do what that man is doing today. So I was so grateful"

This is Manolo. His family invited strangers to spend time with him on his last day. His mom said, "This was such a perfect way to celebrate the life of a dog who truly loved spending time with people and their dogs. Run free and fast forever, Manolo. I will never stop missing you." 14/10 for all

‘AI is here to stay and change things’: Mad Max director George Miller on why he is taking part in an AI film festival

The director believes AI has made film-making ‘way more egalitarian’ – and is set to lead the judges at Omni AI film festival in Australia There’s no arguing the use of artificial intelligence in film-making is getting a bad rap. Last week’s unveiling of Hollywood’s first AI “actress”, Tilly Norwood, generated howls of protest from actors’ unions across the UK and US, where the industry is still reeling from last year’s 118-day strike over, among other issues, the threat of AI. And earlier this week, Australia’s Productivity Commission was pilloried by Liberals and Greens alike for failing to recognise the dire impact AI may have on the country’s creative industries.

Are these the most viscerally painful stabbings in a horror movie? I'd argue so.

Jayce @jayceb.bsky.social · 1d

Alice, Sweet Alice (1976) is the greatest American synergy with giallo I have ever seen, a near-miraculous texture of 16mm brutality and slow burning entropic rage. A self-made tomb of urban Catholic abuses and cyclical mania, the ravenous ouroboros of the Holier Than Thou and the lives they pulp.

Gary Sherman’s Dead and Buried (1981) is an absolutely perfect little horror movie. Sort’ve a sleepy Re-Animator in Murder She Wrote’s Cabot Cove, a sweet spot between Messiah of Evil and The Fog just oozing with rural seaside evil and mood to fucking spare. Small town apocalypse at its best!

Beware anyone who wants to limit the study of literature. Literature is the beginning of empathy, critical thinking, understanding context and complexity, and learning beyond your borders.

Neil Mackay @neilmackay.bsky.social · 1d

If you want to create a docile, obedient nation, first attack the arts so you deskill children of critical thinking. Once you’ve done that the people can be moulded as their rulers please. Beware this barbarism. It’s a path to demagoguery and authoritarianism

Jack collaborated with neo-Nazi twins to make a documentary. He was a fan of white supremacist Richard Spencer. He has tweeted 1488, the alphanumeric code for Heil Hitler. He wrote an unreadable anti-antifa book. Last year he wrote a book abt the left called “Unhumans.” That he’s now speaking here…

Prem Thakker ツ @premthakker.bsky.social · 1d

From Donald Trump's Roundtable on Antifa just now —
"Antifa has been around in various iterations for almost 100 years in some instances, going back to the Weimar Republic in Germany."

I think the funniest thing about Orson Welles not giving a single flying fuck about voicing Unicron, is that his absolute apathy about the material unironically adds to Unicron’s character because yeah why would Unicron care, he’s a big planet eating planet doing his thing

Feels like some of the backlash to the slick designs of the prequels are from people who don't realise that design sensibilities in the real world can get worse even as the underlying technology is "better".

The Prequels had to present the past of Star Wars, a world that hadn't yet fallen under the weight of fascism.

Chiang: "In Episode one, we established a very Art Nouveau, very fluid form, and Episode four had a sort of very industrial engineered angular shape."
