Also? Points for how well the poster conveys a sense of the film, without revealing much of anything beyond that. Aesthetically cool, and an effective piece of communication. Good poster art is art, related to and separate from being advertising.
So apparently there was a horror movie released last month called Good Boy that basically tells a ghost story entirely from a dog's POV as his owner becomes the target of malevolent spirits and yeah I definitely gotta watch this now 👀
Also 10/10 poster

Nah that sucks too. I'm pretty much anti-pie all around.
Apple pie is bad. This is not really debatable. So is key lime pie, while we’re on the topic. Pecan pie is the 🐐 tho.

Football and WWI would be rad.
I figure Ken Burns has one, maybe two big documentary series in him before he fully retires. What do you think they should be? My votes include Football, Hip-Hop, World War 1, Reconstruction (though Skip Gates did this one well), Iraq/Afghanistan, 19th Century Expansionism.

People, including Nick Saban, say Jordan-Hare Stadium is haunted
So, of course, I called experts, spent hours in the Auburn library researching past land use, bought ghost-hunting gear, used the ghost-hunting gear and tried to find out the truth
The results:

If you're a cultural critic for a major publication writing a column that is based on you freely admitting that you never watched a super-popular thing, you could always...not pitch or write that column. Crazy thought!

This rules, this is the way to name a kid. Stop all the bullshit with baby name gurus and just pick the two movies you went to last, pick two characters in those movies. Boom you’ve got a kid named Zora Galactus, you were never gonna pick a name that good Hollywood did it for you.

Someone should bring back those “this is your brain on drugs” commercials but for ChatGPT.
MIT recently completed the first brain-scan study on #ChatGPT users—and the results are deeply revealing.
Rather than boosting brain function, prolonged #AI use may be dulling it. #science #MIT #brainscience #sciencesky
