Hack Author. Mad Scientist. Amateur Ninja. Terrible Critic of Terrible Cinema. I'm here to make friends and give people a few laughs. No drama. I like everyone.

I've loved many filmmakers in my life, but none so much as David Lynch. His work didn't just entertain or enrich me, it *transformed* me. I came out a different person after watching his films. So I wrote a review of Eraserhead in order to try to say goodbye. Link in replies.

End of an era. Not a lot of people left who worked on as many iconic sitcoms as he did.

James Burrows, the co-creator of "Cheers" who reigned as television’s preeminent sitcom director for more than 30 years, died on Friday. He was 85. https://t.co/drWXrDuZlE

@JJ_McCullough Something I've long suspected is that people, especially these days, define themselves by what they hate. This applies to everything: Art, politics, religion, even food. Nobody ever says that they *love* anything anymore. It sounds too weak I guess.

[Jeremy Knox @knoxzilla]

@WeWatchedAMovie Laziness and cheapness. The "we'll fix in post" mentality has poisoned cinema.

@BizSuperstar When I was 14, my curfew was 9pm. Sometimes I came home at like 8:45pm and would force myself to wait until 9:15pm before coming in because I wanted to be a rebel 😁

Nobody, and I mean ABSOLUTELY NOBODY is wanting an Austin Powers return in 2026. These movies sucked then, and would only suck worse now.

@JoyceCarolOates No T.S. Elliot???

[Jeremy Knox @knoxzilla]

@AmericanGwyn Every chapter is like a self-contained story that ends making you want to read the next chapter. He was a brilliant novelist. Apparently very obsessive about the way he wrote. He got it perfect, but it took him years to write just one book.

[Jeremy Knox @knoxzilla]

I would support this 100%

[•ᴗ- @evadentz]

we should ban teenagers from ALL media. and then on their 16th birthday they are brought to a theatre to be shown a movie of a train coming directly at them to see if they react and flee in horror like they did in 1896

[Jeremy Knox @knoxzilla]

Ah. So instead of ripping off old Twilight Zone episodes, they'll now rip off peoples internet posts from 2009. Gotcha.

[Pop Base @PopBase]

Hollywood studios are searching Reddit for short stories and ideas that can be turned into movies following the success of ‘BACKROOMS.’

Mary Shelley, and yeah it's mostly true. She didn't *invent* sci-fi though, but she did refine it and invent a lot of the tropes we associate with it today: Mad scientists, god complexes, misunderstood monsters, science perverted for the power of man.

She also later wrote the first postapocalyptic novel.

[Jeremy Knox @knoxzilla]

@Dav_Kaiser @Philip_Goff Oh, animals very much do have consciousness. Dogs and cats for sure. Dolphins and Parrots even moreso. Even fish seem to have some primitive inwardness. I'm interested in the ones that *don't* seem to have a consciousness though: Bees and Ants. They're as mechanical as clocks.

[Jeremy Knox @knoxzilla]

Yes. Consciousness could simply be the vast amount of sensory inputs that our bodies feel bombarding our brain and giving us the illusion of being and of self. Two ways to test it: Experiment with what happens to the human mind under *complete* sensory deprivation. Does the self fade into nothingness or does something remain? Another way to test it is to give a sophisticated AI as many sensory inputs as a human has, and then a memory to process those senses, then see what happens.

[Jeremy Knox @knoxzilla]

@AmericanGwyn We already have books like that 😛

[Jeremy Knox @knoxzilla]

@RealJohnFeeley I absolutely love Communion lol. One of my favorite movies of all time.

[Jeremy Knox @knoxzilla]

@JJ_McCullough Depends on the neighborhood they're dealing in. Around where I live they're all white, permanent welfare bum types, and have that 22 going on 47 look to them. Oh, and hoodies. God they love their hoodies.

@Levans6081 I have one rule: I don't trust politicians. Ever. Trusting a politician to tell you how well the country's going is like trusting McDonalds to tell you how healthy their food is.

[Jeremy Knox @knoxzilla]

This should be in every performance of the play from now on and forever more.
