Trump on Portland: "It's like the movies you see for the kids, I guess not only the kids, adults also, where you have these bombed out cities and these bombed out people. It's like, worse than that."

Racists that don’t even play games, so it’s not like they’re real potential customers anyway, which makes their capitulation that much more pathetic.

Anyone who buys this has to be banned from all zoos, pet stores, and humane societies for the rest of their lives.

John Cena is doing next-level work in PEACEMAKER Season 2. I have pacing issues with this season (takes too long to get to where it needs to be), but no joke, Cena may be delivering one of the greatest superhero performances ever. He’s putting that character through some serious acting moments.

But the article is absolutely correct, Ubisoft wouldn’t have been able to handle the race relations of Reconstruction. Not under their current corporate structure

Ubisoft is quietly saying that the people who attacked them over a historical Black samurai align too closely with the KKK for their corporate comfort

Ubisoft could not have handled a Reconstruction Era Assassin's Creed:

The M3GAN 2 being an utter financial and artistic failure to selling out to AI companies pipeline came quick. Fuck Jason Blum and fuck Blumhouse.

Culture Crave 🍿 @culturecrave.co · 9h

Jason Blum says Hollywood should 'embrace AI' and viewers 'don't care if what they’re looking at is AI"

"it’s here to stay. It’s very important to use it ethically and legally, and for studios and guilds to protect the copyright of the artists"

I dug La La Land, but even in digging it as I did, there's no way in Blue Hell™️ that Barry Jenkins should've lost the Best Director Oscar for Moonlight.

As for One Battle After Another? [winces]

My hope: they give PTA his due in Best Adapted Screenplay while clearing the way for Sinners elsewhere.

D.K. Lawhorn @dklawhorn.bsky.social · 13h

The fact this doesn’t belong to Barry Jenkins for Moonlight is insane. And now I’m afraid Sinners, the better film, will be skipped over for One Battle After Another.

The Mythbusters were such cool guys. Completely unrelated, of course.

Early reports are that middle aged white women have already started lining up to willingly indenture themselves to Swift, even though there is no official location for the popstar’s new state nor a solid time for when the vassals are expected to pay their crop taxes.
