I was just watching clips from The Ghost and The Darkness which in the 90s was considered a second tier late summer adventure movie but now with its gorgeous location shooting, smooth camera work and confident movie star performances feels better than anything released in 2026.

This is my favorite monster movie beat ever, and I love to steal it where possible-- the heroes find the monster's lair and realize they seriously underestimated what they were up against. One bad thing about shark movies is you can't use this story beat. piped.video/watch?v=dfJBRFBV…

The whole "we should put bad kids in the military" discourse is hilariously out of date because the military has spent huge resources over the last 50 years screening and keeping them out after learning the hard way that dumb, antisocial teenagers actually make terrible soldiers.

There was actually a Vietnam-era program called Project 100,000 (aka "McNamara's Morons") to bring in recruits who would otherwise fail military aptitude tests. It was a disaster, for the recruits and for the military at large. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projec…

The Boston Globe lesbian bar story is indeed fascinating, but I'm curious if there's been a more general, comprehensive account of how and why masking and extreme Covid caution became so entrenched in certain types of far left spaces.

I'm not making any value judgments, but if you told me in March 2020 that 6 years later, a small number of mostly far left activist types, many with LGBT identities, would still be in batten down the hatches mode while the rest of the world had moved on...I'd have been skeptical.

I first noticed the correlation on a trip to a college graduation in 2023 when in this little town in the middle of Ohio I suddenly saw more KN95s than I had in Los Angeles. There was definitely a level of "you're now among the good people" social signaling going on.

"The respected elder statesman sees that his carefully considered advice for his successors has been thrown in the trash" is such a George Lucas story beat, and it breaks my heart that it happened to him in real life.
George Lucas says he retired from filmmaking with 3 more Star Wars films on his plate. “I’m 82, so there is a limit. When I did [the museum], I decided to retire from making movies, which was a big deal because I had 3 more Star Wars to make” (Source: piped.video/ktH5dsr5v5k?is…)

There's an episode of Young Indiana Jones where Indy helps a Vietnamese buddy present a proposal for Vietnam independence at the Versailles conference and it gets tossed in the trash. The stinger at the end is that his friend turns out to be...Ho Chi Minh. Lucas was a real one.

It's all fun and games until OpenAI creates robo-Mishima.
Reports are surfacing that Japanese used bookstores are seeing a surge in bulk orders for obscure books on topics like philosophy, history and Edo culture. Some suspect they’re being bought for AI training. Over 50 tons of Japanese books have reportedly been exported to the U.S

Have you ever had an urge to make fun of someone who posts a dumb and belligerent take in your replies, but then clicked on his timeline and realized that yikes, this is a genuinely crazy and volatile person you should probably just leave alone?

Whenever I see a photo of Sam Altman in a suit I do a doubletake because I think I'm looking at Paul Reiser's character from Aliens.
🚨 BREAKING: US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent declares OpenAI management personally responsible for HuggingFace hack > "The Hugging Face incident, that is the responsibility of the OpenAI management, not a bunch of agents." > "It is humans who are responsible, not the AI." > "What we shouldn’t do on safety is to give these labs a liability exemption, which is what they are asking for." > "The best way to guarantee safety is that the creators are liable for what they build and generate."

I’ll be curious to see if this film is set in the real 1977 or one in which American culture was profoundly changed by a WW2 vet stuntman & faded actor heroically stopping the Manson murders.
Brad Pitt returns as Cliff Booth, only this time it’s 1977 and it’s a very different Hollywood. Directed by David Fincher from a screenplay by Quentin Tarantino, THE FURTHER MIS-ADVENTURES OF CLIFF BOOTH comes to IMAX November 25.

It is difficult to overstate how much the politics of the era were shaped by the backlash to 1960s counterculture. A real life Cliff Booth who heroically killed murderous hippie cultists would probably get asked to be Nixon's running mate in 1972.

The best of the old BBC shows like this, the Sam Waterston Oppenheimer, or the Alec Guinness Smiley ones are proof that production values are incredibly overrated if you have incredible writing and acting.
I, Claudius, a drama television series set in the Roman Empire starring Derek Jacobi, premieres on BBC2.

I'm not exaggerating when I say that the BBC Oppenheimer series had the production values of a high school play but better writing and acting than the Nolan film. It's mesmerizing.

The ITV series Reilly, Ace of Spies is another "How is this so fucking good on such a tiny budget?" British show. The dearly missed Sam Neill rips it up.
