HOPPERS | Daniel Chong and Nicole Paradis Grindle talk Pixar and beavers YouTube video by Film Stories

Had an absolute blast at the #Hoppers junket earlier this week but could not have got these interviews out without @ondrive.bsky.social saving my ass, even though he was busy with other things. He’s a good egg.

I just think it's a consistent fundamental misreading of creative intent that says an awful lot about where we are with both men and the world.

It never ceases to amaze me, though, how their choice of fictional characters to align with consistently wave massive red flags. These are literally THE BAD GUYS, guys. Explicitly bad/amoral, but I don't think they can distinguish between protagonist and hero and its shows.

Again, with the media literacy: The Joker, Heisenberg, Kylo Ren, fucking Deadpool and Les Grossman are interesting choices.

Birmingham! Next week, we're bringing the brilliant Alien On Stage to the Midlands Arts Centre for a very special one-off screening. And we've persuaded the directors to come along for a Q&A as well! Full details here...

Quote from Washington Times editorial board "[Radical liberals] don't realize that, when they express contempt for the man who holds the country's highest office, they reveal their contempt for the Americans who put him there."

Uh no...we definitely realize it.

Reform win a seat: The true Volk have spoken and we all must listen.

Greens win a seat: Early reports that Muslims may have ‘voted’ (an ancient Islamic practice designed to steal elections). How severely should the franchise be limited in response?

I deeply resent “working class” being taken by much of our political/media class to mean “mostly racist”.

So the Telegraph is taking this well

Not Reform playing the Trump 'voter fraud' card, surely?!? Who'd'a'thunkit?

Fun reminder that Jared Kushner's dad is a convicted felon who along with his other crimes hired a prostitute to seduce his brother-in-law and record it when he learned the brother-in-law was cooperating with authorities, and Trump not only pardoned him but made him ambassador to France.

Justice Department withheld and removed some Epstein files related to Trump An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump.

Serenity (2005) - Movies with Mikey YouTube video by FilmJoy

Yep

Just had to update the Manchester NYE street meme after seeing that

Truly this publication is doing the best work in film journalism right now.

Hackers Expose Age-Verification Software Powering Surveillance Web Three hacktivists tried to find a workaround to Discord’s age-verification software. Instead, they found its frontend exposed to the open internet.

Oops. Turns out Persona, Discord’s age-verification service, was secretly screening selfies against government watchlists AND accessible by the feds. It's backed by Peter Thiel.

“The state wants to see everything. The corporations want to see everything. And they've learned to work together.”

This is the kind of thing a rich CEO says at the beginning of a science fiction movie to establish for the audience that he is a sociopath and the villain.
