Great show!
The breathtaking stupidity of saying "we destroyed their nuclear capabilities" a few months ago only to pivot to "they were two days from having THE BOMB" is absolutely stunning. They are the Miles Davis of stupid, forever capable of stripping stupid down to its roots and reinventing it.
Some thoughts on the Berlinale, on film festivals as political spaces, and reviews of YELLOW LETTERS and SALVATION, the two films by Turkish directors that took Berlin's two top prizes. www.vulture.com/article/film...
30 years ago Chuck Palahniuk’s Fight Club accurately predicted that men under late capitalism, empty consumers who had come to think of themselves as “the middle children of history” with no great wars to fight, would eventually prank and shitpost their way into fascism.
I finally managed to see It Was Just an Accident, and it was excellent. Chills at that ending.
on cycles of violence
So anyway I guess this is what it feels like to be one of the tiny humans running through the streets while the giant supervillain monsters are fighting by throwing passengers trains and apartment buildings at each other
Still can't believe he's president again. We're living in the superfluous sequel to a horror movie.
Wild that the administration not only didn't bother to make a public case for war with Iran leading up to it, but doesn't even feel the need to justify it after the fact, either
"the way forward is indie art" yes largely absolutely. but sometimes art costs a lot of money!!!!!!!!!!! now bear with me. what if the "means" by which the art was "reproduced" was "seized" in some way
Vulture’s interviews with the Industry cast have offered some neat insights into their craft and the show’s process. Max Minghella’s did not disappoint, though I wish it was longer!
Calling James Cameron, Chris Nolan etc…
There was no reason to sell Warner Bros in the first place, so, cool, great
People are always like what’s something you miss from the past and one of mine is antitrust laws
This sounds like the correct length for Industry, but I’m still not ready!
Not sure how I’m going to last until the Industry finale. I need to know what’s going to happen!
Good to know! Maybe I'll try to fit them in next weekend.
Are the animated ones worth seeing? The one I'm most interested in this year is the doc about the donkeys finding an observatory, but I realized I probably shouldn't travel all the way to the AFI Silver just for that...
I didn't watch all of the Olympics figure skating gala (hoping to catch up on the rest tonight), but love all the artistry and personality on display.
Highlights: Ilia Malinin doing a full-on modern dance routine, Niina Petrõkina having fun with "Cell Block Tango," Amber Glenn being flawless
Otter painting
Just gliding through 🦦
What a hot, stressful, sublimely orchestrated episode of Industry. I’m loving Max Minghella in Tom Ripley mode. That kiss!
Bit of self-promo here, but based on the people I talked to and the general vibe at the watch party at his training rink in Reston, it seems like Ilia Malinin has a good, supportive community around him www.ffxnow.com/2026/02/13/i...
Good thing it’s a three-day weekend, because I think I’m going to need that long to recover from the Olympics men’s free skate
Let aging actors be old.
Our kind of super bowl. 🍜
Aw, I missed Green Day's performance, but glad to hear they included "American Idiot"
Classical music rocks!
Excerpt from Philip Kennicott's article "At a broken Kennedy Center, the National Symphony Orchestra begins a new journey": The Shostakovich ends with the string basses playing the simplest, most basic musical idea, two notes, one step apart, alternating back and forth, like someone learning to walk, or learning to walk again. Above them, the rest of the strings create a halo of sound, maybe sunset, maybe sunrise. After giving musical expression to the most terrifying fact of grief — that sometimes we are simply too tired to grieve — Shostakovich says: Even then you must go forward. Donald Trump broke the Kennedy Center in less than a year, but out of this chaos there is a glimmer of hope for the NSO. They will now play outside a building that became toxic for many people who love music and art. The bond with their audience isn’t broken, and if they keep playing the way they played Thursday night, their audience could be as wide as the world.
Philip Kennicott appears to still be on the staff (?), and despite classical music not being his beat, I think his recent, poignant tribute to the National Symphony Orchestra is worthy of sharing instead of the WSJ's nonsense www.washingtonpost.com/entertainmen...
I guess when you’ve done what you were hired to do, there’s no reason to hang around.
