I'm glad Sinners won that absurd award, but the nominees for Cinematic and Box Office Achievement included one movie that had not yet opened (Avatar) and another that had no reported box office (Kpop DH), so we should note that the prize does not even have the integrity of its own corruption.

I watched on a high school date. Not the best choice.

Radioactive wasp nest found at site where US once made nuclear bombs Workers at a South Carolina site that once made nuclear bomb parts have found a radioactive wasp nest

And to think Roger Corman died before he could adapt this only to put BASED ON A TRUE STORY at the beginning of of giant killer wasp movie...

We were robbed.

Sam Richardson sits at a bar with some other guy in POKER FACE

Sam Richardson sits at a bar with some other guy in POKER FACE

In the latest POKER FACE, Sam Richardson plays a character who hates motion smoothing so much that he brings a universal remote everywhere to change the settings of TVs he encounters out in the wild.

I’m ecstatic: we finally get Motion Smoothing Hater representation out there at last.

Irresponsible climbing prompts debate over who should pay for Mount Fuji rescues Rescue teams put themselves in grave danger, and the cost of flying a helicopter for a rescue can be up to between Β₯600,000 and Β₯800,000.

Would there be a debate if the climber were Japanese?

Jason Bailey's James Gandolfini biography is out this week and I'm really held by it. It's insightful and thorough, and clearly told with love but without sentimentality. It's so rewarding that I can almost forgive it the hundred hours in front of the TV it's about to cost me.

Screeching contestants gathered in Belgium on Sunday for the fifth annual European Gull Scream Championship, a competition meant to see who could produce the best imitation of a sea gull.

The "Yes, but..." tone of coverage of an R-rated non-sequel that opened at $45 million, got an "A" CinemaScore, and drew raves from critics is quite something. This is a news story, not a report to shareholders. You're allowed to say it's a hit.

My understanding is that PΓ©tain was viewed as a saviour because the French were so shocked by the speed at which the country fell (particularly the utter failure of the Maginot Line). As defender of Verdun, his patriotism was not yet questioned.

Just a legal historian here reminding everyone that β€œhigh crimes and misdemeanors” do not need to be felonies.

They can include political abuses and stupidity, like, hypothetically, destroying the economy and wiping out people’s savings in 3 days.

i hope AI fails because it seems like a bullshit engine made by plagiarists and technofascists, but i could be wrong. the thing i am 100% on, though, is that it is an enormous grift

As I’ve said elsewhere, one of the most striking things about much AI hype is the utter poverty of ambition and imagination it reveals.

Am I alone in finding the term "global south" cringey? It strikes me as a gross generalization that appeals primarily to public-facing policy-makers and consultants.

I find it remarkable how, no matter the time of day, it's now time for the shipping news on BBC 4.
