My favorite artifact in the "you don't need AI to do art" discourse is, of course, screenwriter Dan O'Bannon's sketch of the facehugger to explain it to Giger.

Alison Luchs, who has worked at the National Gallery of Art for 47 years, agreed to learn Gen Z slang and make videos because she wanted to raise interest in the museum’s art.

Last week's comic. I'm new to The Traitors and predictably loved every minute of it
![1
CLAUDIA WINKLEMAN [entering the breakfast room]:
Good morning everyone
2
CW:
Today’s mission is the hardest one yet:
3
CW:
Having absolutely *no chill whatsoever*.
4
[Various of the Contestants doing their best ‘disproportionate reaction’ faces]:
Oh my god
Oh my god
Oh my god
5
JADE:
*HAUNTED SIDEYE*
6
AMANDA [shaking head, saying out loud]:
Inappropriately solemn reaction shot
7
[In the car en route to the Mission, spotting a few props set up in the woods];
JESSIE:
OH MI GOOOOD
8
JESSIE:
What is THAAAAT
[unseen contestant responding off-frame]:
It’s some props in a wood
9
ROXY [in the middle of doing a silly task in the sunny countryside]:
WE’VE GOT TO DO AN ESSENTIALLY UNDEMANDING TASK IN THE PLEASANT COUNTRYSIIIDE
10
REECE [crying, being comforted by solemn contestants]:
I’m just feeling sad about the silly parlour game
11
MATTHEW [stern face, hand up in the roundtable like he’s a lawyer striking the killer blow]:
Can I just get some clarification on what you meant by… ‘Good morning’?
12
RACHEL [in the staring-murderously-to-camera bit]
I can’t believe he said “Good morning”

This is an almost shockingly wise essay. I'm glad I've finally read it.
There Is No Mary Problem in ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’

Josh O’Connor is right
Josh O’Connor calls THE LAST JEDI “so beautiful.”
“The end of that movie - how anyone could be a Jedi... I just remember seeing that movie in the cinemas and I wept of that last image with the boy. It’s just one of the most iconic images in cinema”

When Rob Reiner was on his all-time epic run at the start of his career, he had an opportunity to read a script that was looking for a production partner, and he lost his mind for it. He decided Castle Rock had to have it, no matter what.

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama.
Us: Across your entire career?
Reiner: In a 6 year period.
Us: That sounds-
Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

regardless of today’s outcome, it is morally indefensible to have a court ruling on something that affects a population, using evidence and findings that did not consult a single member of that population.
