Filmmaking can never be ethical. You are stealing light and sound and putting it inside a little box. That is not nice

While I'm recommending short films this early adaptation of Children of the Corn is a really nice piece of low-budget regional horror youtube.com/watch?v=bMRQB7TP…

Love this. A fundraising campaign has launched to create a life-size statue of Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert at Prudential Plaza in Chicago. It will even have seats so you can be "At the Movies" with them! 👍🏻👍🏻 auction.siskelandebertstatue…

Grab a player if ya can because Panasonic prices are going to go up again. For region free Blu-Ray playback get a PS3 and flash it. Is way cheaper that route.

tony judt’s famous paragraph about one of the most distinctive features of america may not have as much basis in reality for much longer
For a long time there was an assumption that every state should have a publicly-owned research university offering graduate education in every field of scholarly inquiry. That assumption had been dying a slow death since 2008, but it is truly gone now.

Why did they use ElevenLabs to make an AI-generated voice of William Greaves for ONCE UPON A TIME IN HARLEM…? One of those decisions that is incredibly pointless, and you can tell it’s AI! It sticks out like a sore thumb, especially in a theater with a good sound system!

This makes sense when you realize that Acton's estranged mother represents a major demographic cohort -- parents who covered up horrific family secrets and are puzzled why their kids don't talk to them. This cohort is becoming politically organized.
#OhioGovernor Axios: Vivek Ramaswamy's campaign says the ad with Acton’s estranged mother will begin streaming tonight, and will be airing statewide in Ohio.

Bill Munns wrote about this in the most recent Journal of Scientific Exploration. He brings up a lot of interesting points, notably that it's not clarified who offered this alleged "official" confirmation. More needs to be given than assertions that have to taken on faith.
The iconic Bigfoot video from 1967 is officially confirmed to be a hoax after new archival footage was found for an upcoming documentary. (Source: variety.com/2026/film/review…)

Chicago is great but its problems are obvious: it was built over soggy marshland and, to this day, ancient amphibians, pale salamanders the size of train cars and toads the size of houses, slumber in the soft mud beneath the water table. One day, those monsters will wake up.
Chicago is an excellent city. Why isn't this more well known?

Moore's sympathy for Rorschach, which is very evident in WATCHMEN, is also clearly influenced by how he held deep admiration for Steve Ditko as a creative & as a person but also pity for how he tied himself to an inherently toxic ideology
