"Y'all, Joe Biden is too selfish, stupid, and arrogant to put the good of the country ahead of his ego, and we need to be realistic about that, and that's why it's important that all people on social media pretend not to see what's happening and exercise perfect message discipline that Trump is Bad"

The tough thing about this job is that you’re working on yearslong projects and you have to take your feelings and identity out of it just enough so that your life doesn’t implode when you fail, but not so much that the work itself is soulless, and this is… impossible

Yesterday I had a pilot which had been set up at a streamer (and which has taken multiple years off my life) finally totally die, so clearly the only thing to do is to host a live reading/debauched party in its memory

OK to clarify these movies are
Sprawling, not conventionally “functional” LA mysteries featuring a psychologically compromised protagonist and an ensemble of complex-aggravating Hollywood Dames
That ideally encourages unhealthy and unhelpful online analysis

Every decade has its Long Goodbye that tells you a lot about that decade
70s: THE LONG GOODBYE
90s: THE BIG LEBOWSKI
00s: MULLHOLLAND DRIVE
10s: UNDER THE SILVER LAKE
But what is the Long Goodbye of the 80s? And why is that a difficult question?

"Civil War isn’t a vessel for its story, which is so spare it could be relayed in a few sentences. It isn’t withholding worldbuilding or characterization details by accident. Those details do not exist in the movie."

Re LRT, I also don’t understand why the low release volume of summer 2024 is being blamed on 2023 strikes? The pipeline for these major releases is way longer than that… furiosa was shot in 2022

No one disputes the industry is in a major slowdown. It’s a terrible time, and many of us are hurting
But this article’s claim that it was caused by the 2023 strikes is bullshit
The slowdown & strikes were caused by the same thing: bad business decisions at the top🧵 www.latimes.com/entertainmen...
