Today I did what every unemployed person eventually does: I started playing Skyrim again

I will always be more impressed by a mediocre stunt than a VFX extravaganza because someone actually physically *did* it. You can't fake a body moving through space; the weight and heft and physics of it, the innate humanness of the body in motion; it always hits harder than "big blue CG laser."

You don't have to love all of these movies, but you do have to understand that a studio that makes Sinners and One Battle and Mickey 17 and Wuthering Heights and The Bride and Weapons grasps its responsibility to filmmaking and its own history and tradition in a way that David Ellison does not.

Oh man, HALT AND CATCH FIRE is so good. Starts great and blossoms into even greater.

Something I like to do periodically is reshare this piece about Zaslav by @jasondashbailey.com that GQ published only to subsequently delete and disavow when the titular whiny shithead complained. May his kind never know rest. archive.is/2023.07.03-1...

‘Elaine From Atlantic … She Needs to Leave’ Representative Jasmine Crockett claimed I wasn’t kicked out of her rally. Here’s the audio.

I like a lot of what Crockett does but I find her ragebait annoying (referring to a paraplegic as Hot Wheels is just a mean and shitty thing to do, plus it diminishes the actual evil of the guy and makes you look bad, and I can’t believe you found a way to make Greg Abbott sympathetic but you did)

The poster for the Sean Connery movie OUTLAND, featuring the tagline “On Jupiter’s moon he’s the only law,” a sentence so badass that you immediately want to know more.
