Hello film migration people! I have followed 60-odd of my favourite accounts from Twitter. Some have already followed me back. If you have liked my nonsense on the other place, please follow me back and maybe put the word about I'm a good chap. James Bond, movies, books, sci-fi, Star Wars, etc.

Perfect. No notes.
Screenshot from Threads: Pic of Usha Vance dressed in plaid pajamas remarkably similar to the plaid pattern of the very couch she’s sitting on. When asked how she and JD found time to make a 4th baby, Usha said, "you just have to find the right time and ensure the mood is right." judy.julian77 responded: Is that why she's dressed like the sofa?

Godwin’s Law and all that, but this idea of placing the leader’s ”word above all written law” struck me chillingly when law and policy in the US is now principally made by executive order, off-message speeches, and by social media posts.
The Führerprinzip (German pronunciation: [ˈfyːʀɐpʀɪnˌtsiːp] ⓘ lit. 'Leader Principle') was the basis of executive authority in the government of Nazi Germany. It placed Adolf Hitler's word above all written law, and meant that government policies, decisions, and officials all served to realize his will. In practice, the Führerprinzip gave Hitler totalitarian power over the ideology and policies of his political party; this form of personal dictatorship was a basic characteristic of Nazism.[1] The state itself received "political authority" from Hitler, and the Führerprinzip stipulated that only what the Führer "commands, allows, or does not allow is our conscience," with party leaders pledging "eternal allegiance to Adolf Hitler."

kirk’s death became a pure media incident in a way that would probably scandalize even Baudrillard
notjessewalker.bsky.social Jesse Walker @notjessewalker.bsky.social · 1d
Kash Patel's behavior after the Kirk assassination was exactly what it looked like at the time. (From www.nytimes.com/interactive/...)
"Senior executive 2: Whenever there’s a critical incident, one of the first things that happens is a conference call with everybody — all the executives, most of the field offices dial in. The director rarely speaks, because someone with situational awareness is leading the call. They’ll say: Here’s what happened. Here’s what we know. Here’s what we need. But we get on, and it’s just Kash berating the special agent in charge in Salt Lake. He’s super emotional. And then it turns surreal. He and Bongino start talking about their Twitter strategy. And Kash is like: I’m gonna tweet this. Salt Lake, you tweet that. Dan, you come in with this. Then I’ll come back with this. They’re literally scripting out their social media, not talking about how we’re going to respond or resources or the situation. He’s screaming that he wants to put stuff out, but it’s not even vetted yet. It’s not even accurate. When I was an agent, I did hundreds of these cases. The initial information that comes in is always wrong. There’s too much coming in, and it takes time to vet. And it was obvious that Kash can’t understand that and doesn’t want to understand that. Everyone on the call is just like: This guy is completely out of control. On another call, he said: When a crisis happens, the only thing you need to do is call me. The most important thing in any crisis is controlling the narrative. I was like: No, no, no. We actually have to do some work here. We’re going to have to investigate, to solve this."

The model here is The East India Company for the new age.

Thus the requirement of Investments ($1 Billion per seat) and it being the capitalist-colonial overseer of Gaza whilst also extending outwards as a Private Company to enforce the will of its Corporate Council across the earth.

Remember when variety downplayed Sinners' opening weekend box office, implying it might not make back its money? It has made $370 million since, and now has garnered more Oscar nominations than any movie, ever
A screenshot of Ben Stiller question a variety story in which Sinners made $6 1 million "yet Warner Bro has a $90 million price tag before global marketing, so profability remains a ways away"

This man should find no place to rest his head, no good meal to eat, no warmth in cold -- not a moment of comfort in the rest of his miserable, well, I would say life, but what kind of life is this? To be so cruel, so callous, so empty. So let's go with "rest of his miserable existence."
