I genuinely don’t care about box office numbers, number of streams or position on the charts. stop telling me. I don’t give a shit. and I don’t have to! nothing about being a critic requires that I care about those numbers. get it through your head.

none of you actually care that he said cunt. you do not really care at all. you are just happy a popular twitter account you did not like did something you did not like
Maybe this isn’t woke of me but I don’t think we should be trying to cancel gianmarco soresi over that one reply. Bigger fish to fry and all that. Seems like a counter-productive social strategy to excoriate probably one of the most mainstream-identifiable leftist comedians. Idk

Generally not into audience Q&A, but Herzog was so generous. A young filmmaker asked whether artists should be concerned about the state of the industry and AI. Herzog was like “You and I are colleagues. AI has no imagination, it’s a nonstarter. We don’t have to worry about that”
Learned from the Cave of Forgotten Dreams Q&A that Herzog was inspired to make the movie in 3D because he saw Avatar at the Universal Citywalk IMAX

Are Geese an industry plant? Is the new strokes single trash? Is Lena Dunham my friend?

the eddington parallel is actually huge. I think both of these are going to be pretty crucial pulse checks of the era looking back
THE DRAMA, like Ari Aster’s EDDINGTON, is quintessential. An incredibly fantastic, piercing assessment of how people can view compassion as an idea versus a belief. Kristoffer Borgli walks a fine line between painful truth and cringe humor. The layers to this are staggering.

Apple has removed Lebanese village names in Southern Lebanon. As Israel invades, they are already setting the state to justify occupation. I’ve never seen something like this.

he should be creative director of the world
John Waters says if he were allowed to host the Oscars, he would make Chris Rock and Will Smith present an award together: “I would have Chris Rock and Will Smith present. They would come out and the movie ‘Sissy Boy Slap Party’ would be showing. It’s a hilarious underground movie.” variety.com/2026/film/column…

Very inspiring to see him rolling back decades of neoliberal propaganda, reasserting the dignity of public sector work and workers
Absolute comedy gold. NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani answers 311 calls and gets asked the most New York question ever. A resident gets the actual Mayor on the line and just wants to know if they can recycle a medium sized mirror. The everyday struggles of running a massive city.

I’m sorry, this lady SPECIFICALLY saying “it’s giving war crime” is frying me
Georgia Voter: It's giving war crime. You can't do that. We don't just annihilate people because we can and, you know, make a grab for the money and the oil. And that's what we've done in Venezuela. And that's what we're doing in Iran.
