Life is but a dream. But who is the dreamer? And what happens when the dreamer wakes up?

A new mother finds herself trapped in the nursery with her infant and a radio that won’t turn off.

Written the day after David Lynch passed, inspired by his short film ‘The Alphabet’.

Chatting with @videogameworkers.bsky.social at their protest outside The Game Awards. ✊
Before the Game Awards in LA last week, a US video game workers union turned up to protest. "Anyone who works in the games industry can identify that our art form is being sold for parts to make a few people a lot of money." @alyssamerc.bsky.social reports

So many people excited about Criterion finally doing a 4k disc release of Killers of the Flower moon. You all are showing your hands that you don’t import your DVDs I’ve owned the Italian 4k of Killers since the day it released. But I will be buying the Criterion. It has Osage art on the cover!!!

I don’t care that much about movie spoilers. I’m less concerned about how the story ends. I go into a film to see how the story is told. What images are used. How the world of the film sounds. How the actors look at things. That’s cinema. And it’s why films are worth rewatching over and over.

I’m once again begging people to read one sentence about Andrew Jackson.
He may not be the worst president ever but he is without question the worst person to ever serve as president.

The documentary about the making of Megalopolis comes to the @criterionchannl.bsky.social tomorrow! Please, if you are in the US and not subscribed to Criterion yet, do it. As all this studio consolidation continues, it’s important to support these smaller distributors putting out important films.

This is rich when he supports a president who fellated a Muslim prince live on television.
This hick is beyond parody. An ignorant bigot of the highest order.

Rob Reiner made some great movies but he was also unafraid to speak the truth, and was one of the public voices who knew you don’t squander your platform, and only got louder about opposing evil fucks as he got older. Legend.

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama.

Us: Across your entire career?

Reiner: In a 6 year period.

Us: That sounds-

Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

The Everlasting by @alixeharrow.bsky.social might be my favorite book this year. It is by turns beautiful & drily funny, a lush story that explores how myths are made by omission, to what power does to maintain itself, to gender identity. Easily the best of the recent crop of lady knight books.

Starting Persona 3 Reloaded this morning thanks to how much @barrettcourtney.bsky.social loves the series. And I’m loving it so far.
