I like it when Paul Thomas Anderson is very clear about the content of his films.
Q: Can I expect to see any blood in this picture?
A: THERE WILL BE BLOOD
Q: Does your new film feature any battles? And if so, to what frequency?
A: ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER

this is a broadly targeted subtweet but a number of you who are well educated, have the capacity for media literacy and appear to genuinely care about mis/disinformation are nonetheless among the worst offenders at sharing thinly sourced, misleading outrage bait into my feed, plz cut it out

De rigeueur shot of me on the bridge at @startrektour.bsky.social in Ticonderoga. Another experience off the bucket list. It really is marvelous what they have done to preserve important pop culture heritage. Everyone was nice. Ask for Tim to give your tour. He's a good kid.

If you sort through the many many amateur STAR TREK fanzines of the 1970s, you’ll notice they are overwhelmingly edited and written by women.
... When will men realize that women are the biggest part of sci-fi fandom.

Watching WITNESS and becoming immediately emotional, not just because it opens with a funeral but also because it's so immediately obvious that we're in the hands of a filmmaker who knows what they're doing.

Just thinking about that incredible town car tracking shot in WIDOWS. Thank goodness Steve McQueen saw the value in what some might mislabel as “shoe leather.” The neighborhood disparity anchors the story, in addition to the character-forward dialogue. Perfection.

I feel like the Rams go WR here. Both of the Iowa State guys are gone but Elic Ayomanor is sitting there. Jack Sawyer would be a fun addition to the DL too.
