I love when you tell people how terrible Newsom is, they're always like, "Well, it's nice to have ideals, but if it comes down to him or the Nazi in the general, *I* am going to vote for him"

This is a tremendously fun read. I've never heard Teixeira speak, so I don't know if it comes at you in a rat-a-rat mile a minute, but that's what I was hearing in my head. That enthusiasm seems to be fueling a lot of terrific films.
"I’m going to do a Brian De Palma movie. Why not? His mind is sharp. We need to respect this guy."
In a long, candid interview, producer Rodrigo Teixeira tells Nick Newman about his upcoming slate: De Palma, James Gray, Michael Almereyda, and films from Argentina, Lebanon, Chile, and Brazil.

Hegseth and Musk's cringey event this week reminded us of what the utopian science fiction franchise is really all about—and how that message is fundamentally lost on some people.

People don't want to accept that the primary reason that we have Trump today is that the previous administration completely failed. It should have never gotten to the point where it was in the so-called hands of the voters. It was already too late by then.

If you are anxious and sad about the state of the world, that's fine, and there are plenty of strategies for dealing with that. But I think you already know that drive-by online dooming isn't a strategy. It's selfish and adolescent. It's a contagion that only spreads the worst of you, not the best.

What I really hate about this is that it's a strain of Democratic Party know-it-all-ism which is going to assert itself with a lot of $$ and a lot of free media in '26 and '28, which is "We could win this whole thing if you freaks would either just act normal or hide." Do not trust those messengers.
