Hey Ontario. Please pay attention to this. It's fucking terrifying. As a renter I rely on rent control in order to, you know, LIVE, and this threatens to take it away from me and most people I know.
Write to your MPP. Call Ford's office. I don't even know what to think right now. Fuck Ford, man.

Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro says 'I'd rather die' than use generative AI
Del Toro's new Frankenstein adaption reimagines Mary Shelley's 1818 Gothic novel. Frankenstein was like a tech bro: "creating something without considering the consequences," he explains.

I just want to take this moment to tip my hat to all the moral motherfuckers out there who got an invite to the Riyadh Comedy Festival and took the L to the bank account in favor of keeping their soul. I've been offered money like that before. It's not easy to say no but it feels GREAT in hindsight.

3 dozen Hong Kong bangers are on Criterion Channel in October, including City on Fire, one of several eighties HK movies with a strong Miami Vice influence, one reason I must have responded to this cinema so well (and saw many of these titles in cinemas thank God)

Every pundit who took at face value the idea that the Right sincerely cares about free speech, or ideological diversity, or in fact has any principles at all, should be wearing a dunce cap and writing a lengthy mea culpa right now. Not for our catharsis but for public awareness at least

The film community lost a wonderful human being.
Amy Lacy, script supervisor on Halt and Catch Fire, has sadly passed away.
She was an incredible & warm presence on every set, a gift to all who knew her. She had kind words for my wife during her first pregnancy on our pilot.
Grateful for her. ❤️
