In this time of blatant attack on women's rights, and many others, it's messages like this, and the clarity of them, that is where we need to be. Thank you

#TheSubstance takes on this broad theme as well (via celebrity culture rather than sex work) but in a very different way. There's no ambiguity, no room for interpretation. The director tells the audience and the industry exactly what she thinks about all of that and what we can all go do with it.

She's entirely one dimensional, despite what all the reviews say, and her role in the film feels like it is to justify and amplify the rest of the (predominantly male) characters.

We can see she wants to be married to this rich Russian boy, though we don't know if it's because she truly loves him or for the Cinderella of it all (or both). We don't know anything else about our protagonist that can't be summed up in a word or two.

In their acceptance speeches, both the director and lead actor Mikey Madison thanked sex workers, but it feels hollow when one of the main messages of the sex worker rights movement is that nobody is defined by their job. All we really know about this main character is that she is good at her job.

(SPOILER) The more I think about it the more I dislike #Anora. It seems to criticize the Cinderella / Pretty Woman myth, until the message at the end seems to be to root for the working class guy rather than the foolish rich idiot. Ok, fair point, but not at all what the movie proclaims to be about.

Satirical body horror and gore is certainly not for everyone. If it's up your alley, even a little, watch #thesubstance

What is, is that it delivers us the main character, and apparently it's key message, firmly planted in the pov of its male characters, all the way to (and especially at) the end. How disappointing. #oscars 2/2

This post isn't about being afraid of ai, or robots, or space exploration. It's asking - earnestly - are we ok sacrificing our present and near future and that of the earth, for a future that may still be decades away and possibly not on this planet? Because this is what we are warned is underway.

I'm kinda thinking we need to really brush up on this stuff and get together and figure this out. When we're talking machine learning, a lot can happen in 4 years with ~already~ a combined pool of over a trillion dollars pouring into these projects, which inform each other.
