With all the new arrivals and the ability to pin a post, I figured I'd offer a brief introduction:

I'm the former Editorial Manager for Turner Classic Movies and, before that, a Senior Editor for Collider for 14 years. I currently freelance, and I also launched a newsletter, commentarytrack.net.

Agreed. Not only is Soderbergh the straw that stirs the drink, we've lost Bernie Mac and Carl Reiner. Let it go.

You don’t need AI; AI is not “inevitable.” That’s a lie being fed to you by companies who are going to lose a fuckton of money if they don’t convince you that AI is something you can’t live without.

NVIDIA and OpenAi:

Concerns that their “increasingly complex and interconnected web of business transactions is artificially propping up the trillion-dollar AI boom.“

TIL that even though Ghost says it's saving your drafts, it sometimes reverts to an older draft, thus losing some of your work! Fun!

I feel like I’m always cringe when I do a video, but I at least know to hold the camera up, so I’ve got that going for me.

What will the new Adam O'Neal–hosted WaPo opinions podcast sound like for the next few decades? Maybe a little something like this x.com/WashPostComm...

If you've never seen this, do yourself a favor and watch why the old folks gripe about "movies these days"

The opening titles of WORKING GIRL (1988) still give me goosebumps 37 years later.

Mike Nichols' Staten Island Cinderella story is on TCM tonight at 12:45am ET, so grab a disco nap and watch.

I don’t intend to keep watching documentaries that bum me out hard, but so it goes. If someone could release a doc about the rise of kittens playing with balls of yarn, I’d appreciate it.

It’s performing for an audience of one.

At a Senate committee hearing on Tuesday, Attorney General Pam Bondi avoided answering pointed questions by repeatedly laying into her questioners and casting her responses as a defense of the Trump administration.

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

I like Bsky more than any social platform I’ve used, but my goodness it has big “I knew them before they were cool” energy.

You mention something bad: “are you surprised?” You mention something good: “I knew about that WAY before you.” This is an exhausting, anti-social way to interact, you guys.

very cool that if you are working on behalf of right-wing culture warriors, you no longer need standing to have your claim adjudicated by the supreme court

It's not just that they're going to strike down a law against conversion therapy, it's that they're going to do it on behalf of made-up claims from a straw plaintiff who can't honestly show the law affected her at all

One thing about American's widespread distrust and disapproval of the Supreme Court is that mainstream news coverage mostly doesn't dwell on stuff like standing, so people don't even begin to grasp how rigged the Court truly is www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...

I think criticism should be more than pattern recognition, but what do you do when films appear to be greenlit because they fit a particular pattern?

I really want to give Netflix movies the benefit of the doubt, but so many seem made just to fill the “What to Watch Next” algorithm.
