Theatre scholar, cinephile, struggling gamer from southern Mississippi. Dramatic Theory now out from Waveland Press.
Watched 160 movies this year (never enough) and read 73 books, largely thanks to an influx of Shakespeare in my diet in the last few months. Finished Dickens this year and tackling Hemingway (and finishing Shakespeare) in 2026.
Watched 154 movies (still not enough) this year, and 62 books. Dostoevsky was read, and now onto Dickens.
I watched 151 movies and read 48 books in 2023 (including all of Faulkner). Going to exceed that in 2024 (including all of Doestevsky).

It’s hard to not see the Netflix/WB news as a sort of doomsday scenario. The constant mergers and large scale absorptions of brands might be good for business, in theory, but they are bad for art; they are bad for creators; they are bad for preservation. Which makes it bad for us.

NBC’s insistence on showing everything but the parade in its parade telecast is really bumming my kids out.

It is, actually.
Is AI inherently bad? Of course not.
The question is: WHO controls it & for what purpose?
Does anyone believe that the richest people on Earth are investing hundreds of billions in AI to improve life for ordinary people, eliminate poverty & solve global warming?
I doubt it.

Streaming has made it so frustrating to know when movies are released. Frankenstein is coming to streaming soon. But it’s in theatres now! But not your theatres. Or most theatres. Just some theatres…somewhere. Go see it! If you can. But you probably can’t. #Frankenstein

(honest question) what are the “good” video games? artistically i mean, not in a “i enjoyed this escapist slop” kind of way
Well. It's not Red Dead Redemption 2, but it's like one of three video games I'd genuinely consider good.

Man I know the whole “No true Scotsman” fallacy, I get it, but more and more I think we should be making that kind of declaration about certain folks.
