We had a really mean python at work and I gave him back to his owner and was like “he was trying to kill me” and his owner said “well, he only has so many ways to interact with the world. All he has is a face” and it Moved Me

It’s quite telling that 17/22 asked to participate in this article about the financial realities of independent filmmaking declined to participate.

This is the greatest video I’ve ever seen. No notes. The lifeless clanker carcass just laying there. No crowd reaction, anything. Just Billie Jean. Until its lifeless shell is shamefully dragged off. Purely amazing.

I don't know whose idea it was to give Siskel and Ebert a karaoke machine but I hope they lived a long and happy life 🩷

Paul Schrader appears to be grieving his wife's death in the most Paul Schrader way possible, by attending a weeklong ayahuasca retreat in Costa Rica and posting Facebook updates like "First aya dosage tonight. Vomitted but no high. No visions. Six hours of boredom."

My old head Red Hook roommate knew a local beekeeper who kept their hives near the maraschino cherry factory by Valentino park. One year their bees and honey started turning bright red, tasting weird and no one could figure out why. Eventually they realized the bees were getting into syrup waste that oozed into the street from the cherry factory, so they tested the honey which came back full of Red #40, the same dye used in maraschino cherries

They filed an environmental complaint which kicked off more scrutiny of the factory, and when investigators searched the place they discovered a huge illegal weed grow beneath it. The owner (known as the “Cherry King”) shot himself when nypd confronted him during the raid. There’s still red goo that oozes out from under the roll-up gates

the other day i was having normal small talk with my landlord and he was like "alright, have a nice day" and walked away and then turned around and said "oh yeah, one other thing, stanley kubrick was murdered by the illuminati" and i was like "...oh, wow" and he was like "yeah"

[Joe Bernstein @Bernstein]

I love this theory that Stanely Kubrick was murdered by the Illuminati for making a movie about their disturbing sex parties, but then they released the movie with the disturbing sex parties anyways

On the sims there’s no dating apps. You have to meet people the old fashioned way. By waiting for them to walk past your house

cowardly and pathetic but also insanely ironic considering the liberal virtue signaly land acknowledgment that plays before every screening

So a key detail here is that the filmmaker used to be a board member, was a donor at least as recent as 2024, and also used to lead (at least on one occasion pro bono!) advertising campaigns for the festival when he was COO of Echo Advertising

years ago he was in town and wanted to come by the bar i was working at to see me and i thought it'd be funny to have the song playing when he walked in and be like "oh shit sorry!" and turn it off

[Owen Ellis @owen______ellis]

i knew the guy who played keyboard in ima robot and he dated this girl for years and she left him for the lead singer who turned out to be edward sharpe and they wrote this song together and it was everywhere for years so i can't think of anyone who hates this song more than him

[Justin🦩Boldaji @justinboldaji]

Worst song ever made
