Just found out about it and this hurt a lot. Especially because this means I am terminating the super discounted subscription fee I've had for years.

Big congrats to Jafar Panahi on the Palm d'Or!!
Reposting my tribute poster I did for his previous film No Bears, when he was still in prison. SO glad he got to receive the award in person, cannot wait to see It Was Just an Accident.

For those puzzled why the strong box office opening of SINNERS is being framed as disappointing somehow, Vulture gave the game away two days ago.
Studios are freaking out about letting the copyright revert to Coogler, so the film can't be seen as a success. The fix is in.

I have shared this story, this thread, before - but I think given the state of the world, it's worth telling once again. Maybe it can help, especially if like me, you make art, and you wonder what the use of all of it is right now.

So ICE has effectively disappeared a student for protesting Israel's genocide, separating him from his 8 month pregnant wife. Pure fascism
UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is.
They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there.
They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.

I'm biased but I genuinely think Hollywood is leaving money on the table not commissioning bespoke illustrated posters. Outside of like Dune these are literally the only posters I remember from the past 5 years and I've only seen one of these

Yes!! Recently in Japan more movies are releasing illustrated alternative posters separately from the main poster to target different audiences. And they are so good!!
A famous example is the Midsommar one, it got so popular that A24 released a limited edition print and it sold out in seconds!

Did you know you can borrow a book from any library in the country and return it to any other library?
Did you know they have subscriptions to huge amounts of national and international media that you can access?

Realizing that most video content from artists that does well sells the aesthetic IDEA of being an artist more than the art itself. The art is incidental
