A solid film! Creative, lots of social commentary, really terrifying, and decent acting from (almost) everyone involved. David Fincher is such a good director.

Oh no. This place is sounding more and more like Twitter every day :(
I'm so tired of content about US politics, hating Tesla trucks, discussing vaccines...

What are some good art/film/game/dance/creator accounts I should follow?

Do it! It's the best feeling 🖤

The richness of this deep, reddish purple color is really pleasant to play with. We also have a rough shape for the mouth now.

BREAKING: Yuval Abraham, co-director of Oscar-winning documentary "No Other Land," says Israeli settlers beat his co-director Hamdan Ballal, injuring his head and stomach — and then Israeli soldiers invaded the ambulance he was in and seized him.

Ballal's whereabouts are now unknown.

Tweet from Yuval Abraham:
"A group of settlers just lynched Hamdan Ballal, co director of our film no other land. They beat him and he has injuries in his head and stomach, bleeding. Soldiers invaded the ambulance he called, and took him. No sign of him since."
