When I first moved to LA in the 90s, a cycler was eaten by a mountain lion on a trail. These are not Disney characters. They are predators, but California is filled with space cadet Karens who keep trying to populate the hiking hills with them. The only reason California is habitable is because Teddy Roosevelt did a mass culling of mountain lions, but now they want these things next to their kids. There is no difference between California empathy and California stupid.

The reality is even more ridiculous than the headline. The whole reason for this bridge is so that a handful of isolated and extremely inbred mountain lions in the Malibu area can breed with normal mountain lions on the other side of the freeway to diversify their genetics. One of these inbred mountain lions killed my dog in my backyard on a college campus in 2022. The National Park Service had a tracking collar on the animal and knew where it was at all times. They didn’t give any warning to the college or anyone else. After this happened, they only admitted it was their animal after a reporter questioned them. The animal was so inbred that its father was also its grandfather, and then it mated with its father/grandfather. Mountain lions are not endangered in California in the slightest. There are actually too many of them in this area, causing them to kill each other over territory. The NPS catches all these animals every few years to replace the batteries in their tracking collars. They could literally just drive them to the other side of the freeway in a pickup. The mountain lion that killed my dog was hit by a car and killed a few months later. What a waste.

Koreans can do amazing feats of mental agility, but we cannot figure out how to reproduce. You will miss us when we're gone.

There are evil people here trying to tell actors that beards and moustaches don't make a difference, pointing out celebrities AFTER they got famous. Ignore these haters who will ruin your career.
English
You know what I notice about actors that book jobs? Clean shaven. Yes there are moustache guys and beard guys, but those are character and supporting roles. A clean shaven face gets you a wider range of main star opportunities.

@StevenHallDOP Yes. Anybody can turn on a digital camera, shoot anything and come up with a decent image. Sensors are very forgiving, malleable. Obviously skill and talent still improve. I am just saying what passes as baseline competence is easy to accomplish in digital versus film.
English
@JosephKahn Digital cinematography takes no skill to shoot? Really?
English
You know why CGI in movies looks bad even though they spend hundreds of millions with infinitely better tech? After 15 years of digital cinematography that takes no skill to shoot, we have a new generation of filmmakers and artists that think flat lighting is the new normal.

Brad Pitt. Jake Gyllenhaal. George Clooney. Stop.

I am pro digital cameras. Love them. Use them. However the barrier to entry is low. Turn it on, shoot, you will have a good image. Lots of DPs benefitting from great sensors. They are basically are instagram filter DPs with low technique.
English
@finalcutgod Tastes have evolved to this unlit look, especially daylight. Forget the cgi. The plate itself is boring.
English
doesn't a lot of it come from the fact that people don't take time or just flat out don't know how to sculpt the light? a generation of Neweer LED panel junkies have transitioned over to the film industry now lmao. and also too much dynamic range! older movies have like what... 6-7 stops of dynamic range now we have 14-15?!?

@Stapes Filing a grievance with SAG for fat shaming. Nothing to joke about.

@JosephKahn What if we just want to play the fat ugly friend?

This is not an anti Keanu post. This is a pro fat dad post. I literally say I love Keanu, which I do.
English
I love Keanu but the lifestyle he projects - solitary Buddhist - will collapse the human race. Can we give some love to dads that take care of their families, work till they drop dead of a heart attack, get buried by the ex-wife's third husband?

> Be Keanu Reeves > 61 years old > Looks the same at 61 as 30 > Born in Lebanon > Speed movie made him famous > Had a thing for Sandra Bullock but didn't hit on her > Wears basic clothes > Lived out of hotels for many years > Sometimes eats lunch with homeless people > Okay being by himself & watching a movie alone > Interacts with normal people unlike typical celebs > Gifts motorcycles to his Matrix stunt crew > Starts a foundation without his name on it > Starts a motorcycle company because he loves them > Now makes trippy movies like "Outcome" > Plays in a band called Dogstar > Taking a break from movies to tour with his band in 2026 And Keanu is still the kindest dude in Hollywood who is loved by all. Keanu is badass.

@JosephKahn A-MEN. And you look great, Joseph. I was in the front row when you introduced ICK here in New Orleans and fat dad doesn't apply to you 😂
English
@jeffdmovies Yeah he's awesome. Just wanna give a shout out to the working fat dad as well. The modern invisible man.
English
@JosephKahn I worked for one of the producers of Constantine and met Keanu- he was, like, BEYOND kind. Such a cool guy and an awesome experience.

@BlueFox__94 That's smart. I need to do that. 50/50 I'm going to be taking a bathroom break in the middle of a movie.
English
I bring along two plastic cups I fill with ice water for the cinema, and I always use the restroom before and after (or during the intermission if it’s a long film that bothers to include one). If I double feature, I have to be careful during the 2nd film to not take a single sip until around midway through, otherwise my bladder will be making me squirm during the final act of the movie.

A two hour movie is the perfect time to experience an entire story before you break the immersion and take a piss.
