Why are you interviewing this thing? WTF is wrong with you people? There's much more pressing things to cover.

Snyder can continue making flops, but god forbid Lilly Wachowski ask for $10m to make an original film

"The Matrix" director says Hollywood has rejected all of her queer movie pitches:

"I’ve pitched a lot of wonderful, cool queer stories and trans stories, and Hollywood didn’t want any of it. There was this TV show based on this comic book 'Cosmoknights' that I was going to direct, and it was from me and Emily Andras, who made 'Wynonna Earp.' It’s 'Star Wars' with lesbians in space. Amy Poehler was producing it, and we pitched it all around town. We had a cool bible that Emily had written, and I put together a jazzy video for it, and everybody passed. We had this cool adaptation of 'Manhunt' by Gretchen Felker-Martin, which was a bestseller on all these top ten lists, and couldn’t get that going. This is around 2022, and now it’s four years later and I haven’t made a thing. I cannot find a studio that will do any of it."

C’est pas Adèle Haenel qui décide de ce qu’est un génocide, c’est tous les organismes internationaux de droit. Et surprise, ils sont d’accord: ce que fait Israël en Palestine est un génocide.

🚨 BREAKING:

American actress Jennifer Lawrence:

"What is happening in Gaza is clearly genocide, and I will never accept it. I'm afraid for the future of my children and all our children. It's shameful."

[Mark Ruffalo @MarkRuffalo]

The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect.  Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.

This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public. 

Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.

Martin Scorsese on why plot doesn't matter

"Marty said many times that plot is irrelevant to him. He wants to follow the soul of that certain character and all the plot mechanics or how things work out are sort of secondary."

"You take a film like Vertigo. The plot if you just read the plot is absurd. But why do you keep watching it? There's something else going on and we're looking for that something else constantly."

"It's very hard to find a partner that could do that with you. So I've been very very very fortunate."

This is the entire Scorsese-DiCaprio partnership in three lines 🔥

[codie 🏳️‍⚧️ @caonfilm]

yet hollywood will happily give literal abusers second chances, millions of dollars, and a platform while acting like nothing happened, but somehow a trans-led film is where they draw the line. call it what you want, but this is just transphobia. simple as that 🙃

[Boze Herrington, Library Owl 😴🧙‍♀️ @SketchesbyBoze]

Roger Ebert famously said a movie should be evaluated for what it is & how fully it achieves its director’s vision. It’s unfair to criticize a film for not being the movie you wish the director had made. Emily Wilson can’t seem to forgive Nolan for not making her version of the film.

Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey offers a critique of very modern reactionary movements in politics and culture and warns that the destruction of norms of civility risks a broader cultural collapse, writes Bret Devereaux.

They should have to disclose which specific productions used Ai.

[Alex Hernandez @AlexRHernandez4]

At this point before I consume any media my first question is going to be was generative AI used at any point in the production of this work.

We must demand transparency.

Refusing to answer is either an admission of guilt or a willingness to profit off of stolen labor

[Kevin Rousseau @KevinFRousseau]

@Variety Why are you giving a platform to this gross AI slop? Where did they steal the images they “generated” from? What was the environmental impact?

“When the last tree is cut, the last fish is caught, and the last river is polluted; when to breathe the air is sickening, you will realize, too late, that wealth is not in bank accounts and that you can’t eat money.”
