I didn't ask for these powers.

if THE LORD OF THE RINGS got made today, there would be endless substack posts on the how the changes to Aragorn and Faramir, plus the removal the Bombadil and Scouring, made it "not really an adaptation" and "just Peter Jackson's interpretation." that is what an adaptation is!

y'know what's an incredibly weird title for a movie? GOOD WILL HUNTING.

Musk just has a hard time wrapping his head around a story where a man’s wife and child care if he comes home

One of the reasons Oppenheimer works so well is because of how pinpoint and ferociously visceral Jennifer Lame’s editing is. She edits men talking at each other around a table with the same tenacity and intensity as gunfire being shot back and forth and it’s so engaging.

It actually raises the question “why did you ever give a fuck”

Christopher Nolan says AI is a “Trojan horse that everybody knows the Greeks are inside”

“The funny thing with AI, I think it's actually pretty fascinating to see how in the last few years it's taken over Wall Street and the world of business and investment. I've never seen a technology advancing so rapidly, so completely rejected by the public”

“Everybody's suspicion of it is so extreme, particularly young people. The reactions to AI videos online. People my children's age immediately calling it ‘AI slop’ and coining that term and just putting it in a box, which I think is a very healthy skepticism”

“Technology is always going to give us great gifts, but it has to be viewed with skepticism. The motives of the people giving it to us also have to be viewed with skepticism. That's when we'll get the best out of a new technology rather than just blind faith that everything's going to be great”

A moment that absolutely crystallized, absolutely defined positive masculinity for me. Sam Neill the icon that you were and continued to be.

[Alf @auf]

Obrigado, Sam Neill, por olhar pra uma paisagem vazia com tanta emoção que me fez acreditar, naquela sala escura de cinema em 1993, que dinossauros eram reais

[Zack Stentz @MuseZack]

People rightly talk about the film's groundbreaking digital effects, but the heart of Jurassic Park is the scientist overwhelmed with awe at seeing the creatures he's studied his whole life alive and in the flesh. And it doesn't work unless Sam Neill sells the hell out it.

The plot for ‘SPACEBALLS 2’ has been revealed:

“Somehow, Dark Helmet has returned! 40 years after the events of the first Spaceballs, 50 years after the events of Star Wars: A New Hope, and 1 year after the events of The Devil Wears Prada 2, the galaxy is once again under threat.

A threat so evil, so unstoppable, so completely lacking in any original ideas, that it has vowed to bring back the past… every last bit of it.

With Lone Starr in hiding, Queen Vespa on the throne, and the Schwartz stretched thinner than a franchise releasing TV episodes theatrically, the only hope for the galaxy is Vespa’s undisciplined son, Prince Starburst, and a mysterious Palace advisor named Destiny.

Together, they must find Lone Starr, Yogurt, and any other iconic legacy characters fans are demanding before they discover the hard way that, while some threats you can fight, the reboot is not one of them.”

What makes this a great scene is that ultimately, everything that Hamilton espouses--continental, hemispheric, and (eventually) global domination--happens in little more than a century.

Hamilton sounds insane, but it is his vision of the United States that eventually triumphs.

Some day the Supreme Court will be required to put the legal reasoning for their decisions in writing.
