Screenwriting and prose. ADHD and Autism. Horror of the folk and cosmic variety. Idle thoughts launched into the void.

No love for The Gospel According To Matthew? Also, The Guardian is up to its usual sneering nonsense. What were they hoping for? Conclave? Gaspar Noe?
Holy see: three of Pope Leo’s favourite films are divine. But the fourth is hard to forgive

Praise be for The Sound of Music, Ordinary People and It’s a Wonderful Life! The sinfully twee and queasy Life is Beautiful, however, must be renounced

All those years Ti toiled in the indie trenches and now he’s finally made it. Baffling and disappointing, particularly considering his past subject matter…
Johnny Depp will reportedly play Ebenezer Scrooge in Ti West’s EBENEZER: A CHRISTMAS CAROL, with Andrea Riseborough (Possessor) also attached to star in the film.
‘Ebenezer: A Christmas Carol’ – Ti West Directing Dickens Tale With Johnny Depp as Scrooge
While Robert Eggers plans his own dark take on A Christmas Carol starring Willem Dafoe, Deadline reports that Ti West (X, Pearl, MaXXXine) is taking his own crack at the classic tale. Johnny Depp will...

Entirely atypical fascist architecture. No ideas other than “be intimidatingly large”…
The National Trust for Historic Preservation warned that President Trump’s planned 90,000-square-foot ballroom would “overwhelm the White House itself,” which spans just 55,000 square feet. https://wapo.st/4hmL8rC

Of course, bullying is unacceptable but I would absolutely bully this creature, partially for obvious reasons and also to make clear you can’t pass through life with a name like “Brilyn” and not expect consequences…
The new face of Republican youth outreach:
A kid named Brilyn Hollyhand (lol), who flies private while arguing against raising the minimum wage.

Rob Young: “It's important to remember that The Wicker Man does not depict any actual magic; everything that occurs on the island during Howie’s visit could be construed as the crafty antics and murderous intent of a fanatical sex-and-death cult (with great music taste).”

I’m working on sourcing costumes for extras for a WWII short and looked up “average male sizes”. The AI summary came back with some wild anomalies. 38 inches for an average male arm length? If it can’t get that right…
NEW: The people who study nuclear war for a living are certain that artificial intelligence will soon power the deadly weapons. None of them are quite sure what, exactly, that means. @mjgault.bsky.social reports for @wired.com www.wired.com/story/nuclea...
Nuclear Experts Say Mixing AI and Nuclear Weapons Is Inevitable
Human judgement remains central to the launch of nuclear weapons. But experts say it’s a matter of when, not if, artificial intelligence will get baked into the world’s most dangerous systems.

i dont really think that american eagle ad was a calculated move to appeal to eugenicist ideas i just think their creative directors and other vibe sensitive people rightly picked up on something going on in the zeitgeist without consciously understanding what they were appealing to
