Both of my favorite non-English language movies have Chow Yun-Fat, but are in two different Chinese languages. Also he's extremely good looking, which isn't related to the language thing but is a nice bonus.

For sure. I've been thinking about that since I read American Tabloid years ago

I would definitely watch every moment. But the discourse about the racist characters might break the internet

I'm not anti Buckethead in general, and he can really play. He's just a very different vibe. Also, Megan is a huge Dave McKean fan so I randomly have this art of Buckethead in my house

I thought about having it be implied that Axl was Santa, but then I would have had to use Shannon Hoon or Buckethead and I didn't love that

Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.

Mondoweiss @mondoweiss.net · 11h

NEW: Israel informed the UN it will permit only 300 aid trucks into Gaza daily, not the 600 mandated by the ceasefire it just signed.

A reminder, since rando bros are dropping in to announce their boycott, thinking we’re pro-AI like one of our producers.

C. Robert Cargill @crobertcargill.bsky.social · 6d

There’s an interview going around about AI, so before there are any questions, let me state unequivocally that BLACK PHONE 2 is 100% organic. AI was not used at any stage of the filmmaking from idea generation, research, look books, writing, onscreen images - anything. We’re old school and love it.

Oh it's bad for a lot of people, no question. Luckily for my friend here, she has time. But I am not downplaying how bad this could be in general.

Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves. One for practice and the other one is the "main" grave.

The stock market will crash and rebuild at least 3 times before it's time to use your 401k, so I wouldn't worry about that part too much. Although it's not great that divesting from AI isn't even possible right now.

I'll probably be here making jokes. Will be a great day for dark humor. And then it will get real, real bad.

Now, more than ever, you have to be a weird little pervert who makes art of questionable quality. You need to be driven crazy by the flesh. Because, as we all learned from Cronenberg's The Fly, the computers are not made crazy by the flesh. They can't do it like us.

Good to see the student newspaper at my college is acting like a student newspaper should and writing articles about how evil ICE and the Texas government are. Fuck 'em up, kids.
