A very big thanks to everyone who came to the @showroomcinema x @ukchinafilm screening of Chungking Express! Fantastic turnout, it was great to see a new audience enjoy it so much, laughing as hard as they did.
Shout-out to @hispersonfriday for the paparazzi shot!
Rest in peace George Eastman. A pivotal actor in my formative years of film exploration. Anthropophagus in particular remains one of my favourite films. B-movie legend.
Obsession— a simply outstanding film. This has been a beautiful time to be a horror fan. Fantastically actress across the board, but Inde Navarrette is absolutely exceptional. Watch this space.
As someone working in an "AI-first" company: no. We cannot allow philistines and overpaid tech bros govern what we do, and to devalue art. Resist "creative" AI.
#Cannes jury member Demi Moore says we need to "find ways" to work with AI:
"Against-ness breeds against-ness. AI is here. So to fight it is to fight a battle that we will lose. So to find ways that we can work with it is a valuable path that we can take."
if you are a creative you need to adapt or just like give up and become an uber driver until everyone has a waymo. I know it’s not cool or classy to speak like this but i’m not gonna candy coat the future - it is what it is . sorry for bad new’s my purist . there will always need a human mind and touch because ai will never suffer from bipolar disorder and autism like me and other creative people 🤪
A very special visit from legendary actor Meiko Kaji! ✨
Catch an ongoing retrospective celebrating her work at Japan Society in New York through April 4, or see her in person at Beyond Fest's Chicago edition this weekend for a screening of LADY SNOWBLOOD.
Imagine if you took a weekend off, to indulge in, dive in, to this.
I have surprises up my sleeve, but mostly there's cinema.
Cromarty. Take the train to Inverness. Swim in the dark. Swim in movies. I will.
