What is a "comfort movie" of yours that most people would be surprised that you chose as being a comfort movie?

life is weird when you hear the Maggie Rogers-calling-out-a-cheater goss and you think "wait, I might know who that is" and see that his previously-public Insta profile is now *private.* #liveforthedrama

I saw a post on Reddit that said that “The underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.” And I don’t think I’ve ever seen AI described so incisively.

spreadsheets like this should be widely shared/taught in Hollywood. @mynette has shed much needed light on indie producing with real budgets. most young creative execs/producers don't have this kind of budgeting knowledge and are studying this.

Obsession has people dropping spreadsheets on IG 😂

studio that was saying they’d put WB’s movies in theaters like 5 months ago btw

thinking about the LA I know and love from my grad school [and after] days. put together this list of 2000s era movies & TV...for anyone else who's down for a nostalgic LA binge. a reminder of what things could be again.

re-reading A Tale of Two Cities as an adult... so the French Revolution was a barbaric moral travesty? this is not what the Anne Hathaway/Russell Crowe Les Mis taught me.

this looks like the various biometric ID checks in GATTACA.

[StripMallGuy @realEstateTrent]

I flew out of Newark Airport this morning and experienced something that is obviously going to become standard everywhere within the next few years.

There was no TSA agent checking IDs. No pulling anything out of my pocket.

I walked up to this new machine, it scanned my face, the gate opened, and I kept walking.

There was no line because the process moved so fast.

It felt like stepping a few years into the future, and it was awesome!

[Lady Helmer @LadyHelmer]

not surprising: the native SoCal candidate feels the same way as all the other Angelenos who've left for [Austin, Orange County, etc.] ...at his wit's end with the incompetent people who've ruined the city.

personally - I'd watch a Bond who, in another life, could have been a Latin professor, but through whatever stroke of fate ended up being a blunt instrument for king & country. with the strain of it all finally showing. a scruffed up Billy Howle or Domhnall Gleeson or Matthew Goode.

[Lady Helmer @LadyHelmer]

given Denis Villeneuve as director, all bets are off with conventional Bond casting discourse. The guy who had Gyllenhaal morph into a twitchy, tatted detective in Prisoners? Who transformed Austin Butler into a slick psycho in Dune? It's gonna be someone playing against type.

[Lady Helmer @LadyHelmer]

all this real-life villain discourse reminding me of how Barry Keoghan played a stellar bad guy in Crime 101...a movie about how LA has become a super stratified/cut throat place [under Karen Bass].

[Lady Helmer @LadyHelmer]

honestly someone needs to make a horror movie about this asap.

a question every ambitious film intern asked themselves [internally, hand shaking "of course I can cover this by end of day"] ...before the advent of AI.

[Navya @agNavya]

Is it humanly possible to read 200 pages in a single day?

[Lady Helmer @LadyHelmer]

deuxmoi but it's a site that publishes anonymous tips from Hollywood assistants (etc) re: who's using AI through the development process. [no need to publish about Netflix, we can already tell]
