I don't know how to explain this but Casablanca is a movie for adults.

There are lots of movies built on an element of fantasy about being young or brave or defying the odds.

Casablanca is not that. Everyone in that movie has back pain and they have all just accepted it.

Probably not ideal that the Switch 2 is coming up on its first birthday and Nintendo has yet to announce an exciting 1st-party game, but hey, there's a new Mario movie coming up from our worst major animation studio.

I like to imagine my dear departed friend James Rocchi, who loved Orwell almost as much as he loved good manners, bellowing from the back of the room, "HAVE YOU NO SHAME?!" at Noem when she misquotes Orwell here.

It's so depressing that Democrats have to find the perfect candidates for their Senate races lest the country fall further into ruin, and meanwhile Republicans can trot out a Tommy Tuberville or Markwayne Mullin, who, on a good day, might be able to form a coherent sentence.

D-Led was one of the handful of reporters you could count on to try to hold the Falcons accountable and took a lot of grief for it. He was always gracious about it and always gracious with us, I'm gonna miss him

A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.

I'm teaching about early 20th century eugenics today and was reminded that 9 years ago Republican Representative Steve King was stripped of his committee assignments by his GOP colleagues for this post that simply states what is now bog standard GOP policy/rhetoric on immigration and "civilization."

'The Bride!' Has Plenty of Juice, but Never Fully Comes Alive Maggie Gyllenhaal's movie works best as a ferocious scream rather than a traditional narrative.

I wouldn’t say #TheBrideMovie totally works, but I always found it interesting and I’m glad that both Gyllenhaal and WB were willing to make something so audacious.

My favorite part of that movie is the clear agony in trying to figure out what β€œcar death” means.

This is where I finally leave SNOW WHITE behind. As much as it’s a cinematic landmark, I feel like FANTASIA is the culmination of Walt’s animated ambition.

Exactly this. Consider these movies and then ask which of the other four major studios would have made them. Maaaaaybe Universal? But certainly not Disney, and based on their last few years, probably not Sony or Paramount.

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...
