Way less surprising than Michael Moore being the writer and director of Canadian Bacon is Google AI just being dead wrong about something

Watched the John Candy doc again. Thinking about what a glorious renaissance he would’ve had late in life. What a joy his Only Murders would’ve been.

studio execs & major outlets claim AI is "inevitable" and poised to take over Hollywood. the reality is much different. i spoke with filmmakers, producers, and editors about how AI is actually showing up in productions – and what it still can't do:

Genuinely curious: Why would anyone care if today is called Indigenous People’s Day instead of Columbus Day? I mean, besides blatant racism.

I know when I don’t get enough sleep, my anxiety ratchets up, but today I was at a street fair with my 4 year old, and I just kept thinking about what direction I would run with him if shots broke out.

I’ve got to get out of this country.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

The doc isn’t particularly dramatic or intense because every single person who ever met him loved him. He spent his life being kind and funny and making people happy (including strangers who loved him from his movies).

Maybe a story about kindness and goodness is exactly what we need right now.

That laugh brought me unmeasured joy. His laugh was like a warm blanket made of hugs. It just was pure happiness.

Naturally, I watched the new documentary, John Candy: I Like Me, as soon as I could. And you should too.

When I was 11 years old, my absolute favorite actor in the world was John Candy. I would watch every movie I could get my hands on from Blockbuster.

It didn’t matter if they were good or bad because there was always going to be at least one fantastic John Candy laughing moment.
