I noticed an uptick in folks posting images on socials and asking "what is this style of art called?" And I just realized they are doing it so they can prompt AI. Yes I'm probably naive but it made me sad.

I saw the complete Kill Bill in a theater today and it was pure cinematic joy- but I bounced off of the post-credits Fortnite animated short HARD.

Hard bias on my part: Artists should not trash-talk other artists unless their work is morally reprehensible, period, the end. And successful artists in particular should avoid it. The defense that it's some kind of refreshing contribution to public discourse? It's not. We already have tons of that.
I will never understand why an actual movie director chooses to spend his time and energy behaving like a fifth-tier shitposter. (Also, this is a Hall of Fame bad take.)

It’s always fun to see the clips of the Sunday political shows because you get to go “yep the news lets people lie to them for an hour and airs it”

I took the teen to see #PREDATOR BADLANDS last night. You might assume that a PG-13 movie where a Predator learns the value of friendship would be cheesy. And you would be right. It's also a ton of fun.
Trachtenberg and Aison are batting .1000 with the franchise. Looking forward to the next one.

I just got out of a sold out showing here in Seattle and I'm pleased to report that Deathstalker (2025) is the best 80's sword and sorcery film. Period.

The eye exam is the perfect game design. That big E is a great tutorial that teaches you the basic mechanic. But it doesn't baby you and quickly gets hard as they introduce the small and blurry enemies.

We rolled credits on @sunderfolk.com last night after a tough boss battle. Thanks to the team for a whole summer of fun family game nights on the couch. Good memories! We appreciated the QOL updates the studio dropped throughout our playthrough.
Wishing Dreamhaven much success with this system.

I was on an industry panel on the making of the Halo series last night. Saw old friends, talked about old times. Had a bunch of fun. And was reminded of this wacky story:
