Now, how do you fix this? Fuck you, that’s how. You’re paid unconscionable sums of money to figure it out.

Hollywood, I’mma talk to you like a Dutch uncle (look it up):

My wife and I worship movies, and the rapidly dying theatrical experience, as much as any other two people alive.

If you can’t get people like US to see movies in theaters, trust me: you’re sunk.

It's a mystery. Lots of people are saying that Biden did it. It wouldn't have happened if I were president, that's for sure. Sad!

Not so fast. 🙂 Landau’s was a performan for the ages, yeah… but I find it interesting that it’s about Lugosi as a young adult (and probably his career). Even more interesting to me, the script is by the team who wrote Ed Wood. I’d say it has a half-decent chance of coming out well.

TIL that there are people who sell hunks of machined glass, claiming that they’re genuine healing crystals.

I don’t know what the fuss is about: I’m sure the glass is every bit as effective as the crystals.

Every. Bit.

#Svengoolie is doing something smart this week: They're showing "Young Frankenstein" before "Bride of Frankenstein."

Why is it smart? If you've seen "Young" but not "Bride," "Bride" will seem hilarious to you--and it shouldn't. It has black humor, but is one of the greatest horror films ever made.

Unfortunately, my final fuck ran out at 5:30 this morning. My subscription service doesn't ship the new fucks for a couple of days, so it's out of my hands. Sorry. 🤷‍♂️

The late Harlan Ellison (whom I miss every day), said a lot of true things that people didn't like hearing.

This was perhaps the truest thing he ever said:

I had a friend who fervently believed that rights are inherent, inborn and absolutely owed to us. I said, "Well... that sounds nice. But the truth is, you can only expect such rights as you're granted by someone with control over you."

Needless to say, this discussion was never resolved.

I am lying on the bed, and Mrs. Tude is unpacking laundry on top of me.

Right now she’s doing towels.

It’s a little bit like “The Cask of Amontillado.”

With towels.

"Maybe we're heading towards a future in which internet videos are simply treated as untrustworthy across the board."

God, I hope so. If the Law of Unintended Consequences holds, this may destroy AI, not further it.

I just wish I were more confident that it will.

Sora is making it difficult to tell real videos from fake ones. But what happens when people slap the app's watermark on real content?

So I assume the thing we're all waiting for is the White House trying to sue the #Nobel committee (and having the suit tossed out immediately).

After that, he'll probably threaten to send ICE to Norway. 😂

If true, my first thought is that Kash thinks they have the right skills to join ICE.

Jeff Tischauser @jtischauser.bsky.social · 7d

that's right Kash and all we have are Mids

Screenshot from twitter that shows Kash Patel on Fox News. The post states "Breaking FBI Director Kash Patel has just revealed nearly 5% of Chicago's 2.5 million residents, approx 110,000 people are active gang members."

I don’t listen to Taylor Swift, and only have one feeling about her: that she’s a lady who has become very successful writing and performing songs that a great many people love, and good for her. That’s it.
