why can't they do that thing at the Sphere like those new TVs with the ambient mood lighting around the borders instead of whatever the Wizard of Oz thing is? I mean, that would be less annoying. just vibey light patterns and the movie untouched by Google AI engineers' hands.

i am pro Orientalist excess and exotic maximalism if it's done really well, if there's creative lunacy and aesthetic virtuosity on display that defies an attempt to reduce it to good/bad politics. Katy Perry could never!!!

repost this if an editor has ever saved you from yourself

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

Greta Thunberg, deported to Greece, says the targeting of the Sumud Flotilla is "not the story" @teenvogue.com — instead, she says:

"Israel once again violated international humanitarian law by preventing aid from getting into Gaza while people are being starved.”

Greta Thunberg On Her Detention: I'm "Not The Story" — It's Israel Violating International Humanitarian Law

“I could talk for a very, very long time about our mistreatment and abuses in our imprisonment. Trust me. But that is not the story.”

2. CRY_WOLF (2005, Jeff Wadlow)
Anticipates the creepypasta mode of modern folklore and the ease with which the fictions created on the internet bleed into real life. Stylish and sleekly cynical, could stand to be scarier earlier, but a neat take on self-reflexive horror for the IM age.

1. MASTERS OF HORROR: VALERIE TAKES THE STAIRS (2006, Mick Garris)

Rather effective rotten bonbon on the horror of living with other neurotic writers. Unbound creativity from deep psychological recesses as monstrosity is pretty entertaining.
