Tonight I watched The Conjuring 4 and Vicious and they were definitely both movies.

Does...does he really think Blumhouse movies are well-liked enough for him to be pulling this shit? Blumhouse has already become shorthand for, "cheap and lazy horror movie," you think ppl are gonna start flocking to them if you announce that you're making them EVEN MORE cheap and lazy?

Jason Blum says Hollywood should 'embrace AI' and viewers 'don't care if what they’re looking at is AI"

"it’s here to stay. It’s very important to use it ethically and legally, and for studios and guilds to protect the copyright of the artists"

Well, full for the digital Imax version that is. Still hoping we eventually get a release with the full movie in 1.43:1 like the 70mm showings, I'd gladly double-dip for it.

Finally breaking out that Sinners 4k tonight and I'm stoked to finally see the Imax scenes in their full aspect ratio. I saw it multiple times in theaters but was only able to catch standard showings :p

How I imagine the pitch meeting for Arcadian:"So,picture the coolest, most creative monsters you've seen in a horror movie in years! BUT!We stick them with just the blandest script anyone on Earth has ever read. I'm talkin cardboard characters parroting stock lines from other movies for 90min. Yes?"

Again, going in circles, but Trump ****literally**** does not understand how the American government works. He has ****never**** understood it. He was, until this administration, protected from his own stupidity but now there is no longer anyone at the helm. It’s ***actual*** anarchic governance.

Using art to understand life is THE POINT.

"Do not see the actions of your government in the story's evil organization. Do not be suspicious if they rise to power in a similar way to to the villain. Ignore the similarities. Surely the art isn't trying to warn us. It's just entertainment. Don't be cringe."

Hot take, but deeming it Cringe™ to draw parallels between fictional media and current events was one of the harbingers of modern fascism. Art is inherently political, and seeking to remove political power from art is one of the core tenants of fascism 🤷‍♂️

"Graphical Fidelity>Art Design," Mfs are so weird, you'll be like, "oh this new game is gorgeous!" and they'll reply, "uuuh, THIS one literally came out two years ago, try again 🙄" then post a screenshot of really detailed gray dirt.

There was a film critic who criticized V For Vendetta because he didn't buy the idea that ppl would continue living a government that none of them like, and Stoker because he didn't buy the idea that a mother would be openly antagonistic to her daughter, and like that's just this meme but for movies

Is there a site/app that's like Letterboxd but for video games? Letterboxd is where I go to be honest about my movie opinions without worrying about ppl being weird about it like they are on social media, and it'd be cool to be able to do that w games too.

Idk, I just never end up enjoying Soulsbornes that aren't made by FromSoft. Dark Souls series, Bloodborne and Elden Ring are some of my favorite games, but whenever I play a non-FromSoft Soulsborne I'm just like, "This must be what playing Dark Souls feels like for people who don't like Dark Souls."

SCOOP — Pennsylvania prosecutors were alerted to possible voting irregularities by one of MAGA's leading voices against voter fraud. A long paper trail shows Jack Posobiec has been living in Maryland but voting using his parents' PA address for years.

From @jsweetli.bsky.social, @slate.com + me:

MAGA’s “Voter Fraud” Watchdog Votes in a Swing State. He Doesn’t Live There.

A long paper trail shows that Jack Posobiec casts a ballot in one state and lives in another.
