New pinned post.

Hi, I’m Gavin, Post Production Professional and Podcast Host/Producer. This is me opening night of The New York Film Festival on the left, and me on Closing night on the right. I’m the festival’s lead video editor & I work in TV/Film elsewhere. And that’s what you need to know.

A mirror selfie of me, a queer man in a grey blazer, a white patterned shirt, a grey tie, black pants and grey socks. On my lapel, a pin representing the icon bar from premiere pro

Yeah that bit is tough (it’s so ingrained into everything!) but outside that I still love it.

Anyone assuming the monster isn’t supposed to be sympathetic fully didn’t understand the book (also I love Monster Squad)

Rereading X-Cutioner’s Song (let me have this, I just need to feel something!) and images like this make me think that no one working on this comic in 90’s ever had sex.

Cable being the epitome of the “I have too much stuff on me” meme. He’s loaded to the gills with guns and pouches.

Have you ever been so fucking delighted by a username/icon set that it made you follow a total stranger

The weirdest thing (besides that it had a very low jokes to laugh ratio happening) is that it didn’t have a point of view at all. One of those “people like this thing, merely bringing it up will be a home run.”

Let me know if it’s as weirdly homophobic as the first one!

I had a couple of people like that, and eventually I just blocked them. I am much more judicious here than I was at the other place.

Every word of this is worth reading. These people are not outliers in young MAGA leadership. The person you are when you think you can get away with saying anything is the real you.

Used my time off to finish The Traitors: Ireland, and I think it's my favorite season, or at least up there with The Traitors: Canada Season 2. Surprisingly emotional, great cast, so many people to root for!

Look, if this garbage is your greatest fantasy, firstly, why? But also, I dunno, sit at home and fantasize about it. I guarantee you, it'll still be better in your fantasy than as AI slop. Use that imagination of yours and think it up and stop destroying the environment with this trash.

Aparna Nair @disabilitystor1.bsky.social · 1d

I don't know how many times to point out that is absolutely ghoulish and non-consensual and disgusting behavior.
To exploit the image of a dead woman who was also exploited in real life so you can live out your momentary fantasies of "what is possible" with AI is bad science journalism, also.
Sick.

For my 1st non-festival day in weeks, here was my final trailer for #NYFF this year. I love being a part of that festival & getting to put moments like this together. I especially loved picking that quote from Indya Moore to end it. Hope you saw it on the big screen!
