I got to spend 40 minutes on the phone talking to the one and only David Letterman about his days in morning TV, launching Late Night, his love for Mulaney, why his wife feels the need to explain his jokes, and, yes, CBS's decision to nuke LATE SHOW. Only on @vulture: www.vulture.com/article/davi...
David Letterman, Now (and Then)
As his NBC show comes to streaming, the comedian looks back at those early years — and ponders the fate of the late-night landscape he helped shape.

Francis Ford Coppola’s epic box-office bomb, “Megalopolis,” fits the vague outlines of a future cult classic. But the director’s attempts to mythologize the movie reveal how difficult it is to actually build a devoted fan base, writes @shirklesxp.bsky.social:

AI filmmaking is peeing. It’s pooping. It’s throwing up. It’s a new kind of liquid coming out. It’s hated by the establishment. It’s what goes in the toilet. It’s wet. It’s what’s in the bathroom.
