Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama.
Us: Across your entire career?
Reiner: In a 6 year period.
Us: That sounds-
Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

Just a reminder that generative AI is theft of labor and intellectual property, uses vast amounts of energy/ water, provides at best mediocre results (if not outright lies or misinformation), actually affects your ability to think over time (mind duh), and is in general a really fucking bad idea.

Lie after lie has been told this week about how the Ukraine war started, from the Kremlin and the White House.

A girl I knew in college saw David Lynch speak at an event. When it ended, she found a way to get to the front to tell him how much his films and shows meant to her.
His response was “Thank you. And remember, the universe is in your basement.”

I've had my fair share of medical procedures this year and I have to say how extremely grateful I am for the NHS, everyone works so hard with limited time and resources. We should never take this incredible service for granted 💙

they should make a horror movie where a guy accidentally gets into a machine with a fly, and the movie follows the fly as he slowly becomes human and is forced by the hand of capital to get a job, crying when he can't remember the last time he rubbed his hands together while standing on a windowsill
