Though I like the poetry of the title ALL YOU NEED IS KILL, I do think the studio's instincts were correct when they officially added LIVE. DIE. REPEAT. as the prominent subtitle for the home entertainment release to sell it to a public with a clear shorthand.
Admittedly not one on my to-see list.
I have to say, I've got a bit of a soft spot for McFARLAND, USA.
I've really gotta get on this one...
I finally lost my shit about so-called AIs, LLMs, enshittification & everything fucking evil that @officialgrammarly.bsky.social is doing. I'm fucking furious, and not just about what 1 company has done. An open letter to Grammarly & the rest of the LLM hype machine www.moryan.com/an-open-lett...
After revelations that companies like Ring have been selling home security footage to ICE, the most common defense of keeping a camera up seems to be, “But what if I’m stalked?”
And as a violence researcher, I’m just here to state for the record that police do not care about your security footage.
This trailer promises a full-throated and unabashed declaration of what an enormous grift cryptocurrency is in an entertaining and enlightening documentary vehicle and I am looking forward to the movie delivering on that!
Terrific movie all around.
I saw two cybertrucks driving on the same strip of road the other day and I really thought to myself, "That's not possible, is it?"
Pretty impressed with myself that I was able to identify that something was a Taylor Sheridan show based solely on a glimpse of what two women characters were wearing; namely, COYOTE UGLY chic.

Forever my favorite moment during the #ASCAwards is the Women/NB Cinematographer group photo.
Here we are last night.
I have to rewatch it through... I feel like some of the plot points will probably play as new to me since it's been so long!
Hmm... I'd say TERRIERS, though I feel like it continues to have some very vocal supporters carrying the torch for it and can be easily watched, so I might have to go with LOVE MONKEY, the charmer of a network show about running a record label that starred Tom Cavanagh post-ED and, yes, Judy Greer!
I feel very late to it considering between me and my sister, we own two copies!
Aside from being a world-famous rocket pioneer and a secret wizard, Parsons was also a devoted science fiction fan who attended meetings of the Los Angeles Fantasy and Science Fiction Society to hear writers talk about their books. One day in August 1945, to Parsons’s delight, a LAFSFS acquaintance showed up at the Orange Grove mansion with a young naval officer, Lt. Commander L. Ron Hubbard, who had already established a reputation as a master of sci-fi pulp. Captivated by Hubbard’s ‘charm’ and expressed desire to become a practitioner of Magick, Parsons welcomed him as house guest and sorcerer’s apprentice. Hubbard reciprocated by sleeping with Parsons’s mistress. Perturbed by this development, but not wishing to show open jealousy, Parsons instead embarked on a vast diabolical experiment, under Crowley’s reluctant supervision, to call up a true ‘whore of Babylon’ so that she and Parsons might procreate a literal Antichrist in Pasadena.
‘With Prokofiev’s Violin Concerto playing in the background’, Hubbard joined Parsons in the ‘unspeakable’ rites necessary to summon the ‘scarlet woman’, who, after many mysterious happenings (inexplicable power failures, occult lights, and so on), was found walking down South Orange Grove Avenue in broad daylight. After Parsons seduced the young woman in question, Hubbard and Parsons’s previous mistress ran off with the rocket scientist’s money to Florida. There is no need to relate the ensuing complex chain of events, except to say that Parsons – the renowned explosives expert – managed to blow himself and his Orange Grove mansion skyhigh in June 1952. Debate still rages as to whether it was an accident, suicide or murder.
I'm reading CITY OF QUARTZ, Mike Davis's 1990 book about the social & cultural forces that shaped Los Angeles history (the first chapter is titled "Sunshine or Noir?") & here are a couple of wild paragraphs about a Cal Tech scientist's influence on & intersection with pre-Scientology L. Ron Hubbard.
I don’t know how many people are evil I said. Not most. But enough of them that the balance doesn’t make a difference. They are worse than we are not.

A man who was profoundly hurtful towards me started a Letterboxd list titled, "Movies I Wrote" and would it be unkind of me if I was fine with it never exceeding two titles?
Not that I need them to improve their ability to fool people, but the fake Paperless Post phishing e-mails really struggle with a lack of specificity as to what, exactly, the event we are being invited to is celebrating. The one I just got is for, "Cheers to the Moment!"
Ugh, it's so distatsteful. It feels like an iteration of madonna/whore thinking, though less directly about the woman herself.
To my Canadian friends, an acquaintance started a petition to allow US transgender citizens to claim refugee status here.

PERFECT TIDES: STATION TO STATION is a delightful (and sometimes melancholic) point-and-click game that follows Mara, a character who is on her own for the first time attending college in the city, and the experiences and messy feelings that come with that, a sequel to the also terrific original.
I love the idea that The Star got in touch with Clare as soon as they read John Tory's ridiculously long statement about not running for mayor, something no one has given a single thought to him doing since he resigned in disgrace, and said, "We give you carte blanche to take him down a peg!"
The mother is an asylum seeker. Her 7-year-old is deaf and didn’t have his hearing aids when he was detained.
Newsflash: Show I dream of working on gets even dreamier!

Liz, I promise you I get your frustration... I used to tell people I was a director and they'd ask if I made documentaries. But I'm not quite sure I get the ire for this voter's preferences. She loves SINNERS and I probably would not have seen FRANKENSTEIN myself if a friend hadn't invited me to go.
This photo feels like you're sitting across from two Austrians with some interesting ideas about skull shapes that they would love to discuss with you.
From time to time I see certain white pundits and reporters reveal that they have no understanding of any of the subtleties with which race and racism actually operate in this country. Just the most naive, simplistic, mechanical thinking. Deeply embarrassing.
I'm worried when Kristi Noem finds out she's been fired she's going to become America's first obedience school shooter.
