Wrote about Michael Haneke’s Caché. It’s definitely in my top ten, despite being void of humour (breaking a loose rule I subscribe to that great works should have some element of humour). Very grateful to the legend John Doran for edits: https://t.co/xeAgCXamLm

Jane Schoenbrun reveals how difficult it was to get ‘Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma’ made, even after the success of ‘I Saw the TV Glow’:

“Everyone except for Mubi passed on this movie, to be totally blunt…and I think it’s because of the limits of what kinds of queer and trans stories are deemed commercial or not commercial. When I look around in our ‘post-woke, post-Biden’ era, I don’t see any other trans artists getting budgets, and that’s a fucking shame. I shouldn’t be the only one who’s making movies at this level of budget.” https://t.co/dDSa1ikdhK

A Jew dies and meets God, and asks Him, "Is it wrong to commit a genocide of Palestinians?"

"Yes," God replies.

"Damn," says the Jew. "Antisemitism is more widespread than I thought."

@getfreewrite Hi! Will you have a black Friday sale?

One thing I never see mentioned when discussing the sexual themes in Watchmen is that Rorschach’s mask is always displaying a super tall, dominant woman a decade older than me calling me a good boy. I feel like that should be brought up more

It’s beautiful to learn that generating realistic imagery of anything you can imagine is actually mostly pretty boring and stupid. Wouldn’t have been an obvious pick for a who cares technology

This one was difficult. When we first finished it I wasn’t sure it would be released. It’s weird for me to present myself publicly the way i did at times but I feel like it’s important to share this anyway. I hope you guys like it.

at 1:24 O'Malley has Robinson backed all the way up against the ropes about to break just helplessly muttering "who do you know here" and you can see him realize it's a good line that'll cut well so he snaps into character and says it again in Tim Robinson Voice

cracks me up that 28 years later (amongst many other great things) is a gag on how hard it is to get a GP appointment
