And if they’d genuinely hiring TikTok editors…how much are they being paid, what creative stipulations do they have esp re: music, etc. etc. etc.

As an old head vidder, cannot begin to express how many Thoughts I’m having over this article, which doesn’t make a passing reference to anything not TikTok re: “fan edits,” and also just the hiring fans to do marketing concept. I’ll mention one, though: LMAO LMAO LMAO. variety.com/2025/film/ne...

In my second hotel on this trip and none of these TVs will let me turn off motion smoothing. This is unsustainable vacationing! (+ Also working remotely.)

I gotta check in here more. So stoked they finally announced she would be in this one even if it’s just for a little bit.

The thought that cheered me after witnessing that game last night was that @sarahspain.com must be happy. 😆

Watched The Monkey (loved it, bonkers, preferred Perkins mode). So wildly different than The Life of Chuck but was struck by, in their King-ness, that both films argue to just dance in the face of The Horrors like your grandmother taught.

The amount of telecharge "we're sorry" emails for the "Oh, Mary!" lottery that I've received. Crushing.

haven’t watched in ages. all timer. need to catch a rep screening. editing had me yelling and was reminded just how A+ it is. the silence + sudden bursts of frenetic energy/zombie sounds. and it hits a lot different than it did yrs ago. Also, nice characters who also kiss in high stress situations!

RIP to the legend Robert E. McGinnis

illustration of a woman (left) and a man (right) against a white/pale yellow backdrop and on top of a multicolored rug. the dark-haired man sits slightly slumped on a chair, his body toward us, his face angled toward the woman. he's wearing a rumpled suit, a skinny red tie, brown/burgundy socks, black loafers - the butt of a gun in a shoulder holster peeks out of his suit jacket. there's a cigarette in his left hand, and the woman's green heel in his right. the blonde woman's back is toward us, her left hand at her waist, her right hand pressing against the man's shoulder - her face is angled downward but very close to the man's. her green dress is half-unbuttoned and pulled down to her hips - the skirt remains buttoned. her white bra is partially unhooked. she's on her knees and her legs are crossed at the ankles - we can see one bare foot, one still wearing a green pump.

Sad news: Val Kilmer has died at 65. In the 1980s and 1990s--Top Secret, Heat, Tombstone, The Doors, really all the way through Kiss Kiss Bang Bang--he was so often an interesting and surprising studio leading man: An oddball with the face of a heartthrob. His best work is very worth revisiting.

Dammit. I hate to hear this news. A damn fine actor and artist who simply exuded cool and lived life his own way. It was so good to see him again in Top Gun: Maverick. He’ll be greatly missed.
