Jackson was the first non-white global superstar. It’s interesting that discussions of his career don’t lead with this.

Jackson was a generational talent whom America could never quite embrace. A hagiography situates his accomplishments. Two big subjects for later: abuse victims becoming victimizers; should great artists be defined by the worst things they did after their greatest work.
The HoloFiles - Movie/TV News & Reviews@theholofiles

MICHAEL is an extraordinarily sanitized, overly audience-friendly music biopic that makes Bohemian Rhapsody look like a complex, nuanced character study. With the dramatic depth of a Wikipedia article, the film introduces but fails to even remotely explore fascinating aspects of Michael Jackson’s life, including his loneliness, body image issues, and fixation on childhood. The story never offers an understanding of what drives Michael Jackson to become the King of Pop and have a career beyond his family, and is far more interested in playing it safe and playing the hits (which are superbly recreated). Jafaar Jackson bears an uncanny resemblance to MJ and nails the body language and voice of the King of Pop, but he’s given disappointing little dramatic work to do by a screenplay that paints him as an infallible protagonist. An excellent impersonation from Jafaar and iconic songs can’t save this biopic from feeling like the product of a creative team terrified to approach even the most vulnerable or difficult aspects of its complex lead character’s life.

It’s incredible that the obits I’m reading don’t mention that Rex Reed was gay. Not only was he one of the first first “out” journalists, he modeled the whole persona of gay celebrity before it became mainstream. Think it’s possible he even pioneered the catty critic. RIP.

Rex Reed, a critic and journalist known for his brash takes on films, died Tuesday at his Manhattan home. He was 87. Reed’s reviews were featured in publications like The New York Times, GQ, Esquire, and Vogue. He penned a column in the New York Observer over the last four decades. variety.com/2026/film/news…

This is nearly exactly how the vibe of CBGBs felt when I saw the Ramones there a few years later. When the aroma is mastered by AI the circle will be complete.

@gams_marco That's my favorite story of all time, unfortunately the budget required for that would be insane. 10k Greek guys marching around through all different scenery fighting a dozen different armies. Gonna start with something that can be done with a small budget.

I swear before I die I’m going to write and produce a Greco-Roman history movie, and prove to you all that Hollywood makes these movies bad on purpose.

My top 10 changes all the time, probably by the day. But if you put a gun to my head and said what are your 10 favorite movies of all time, and I had to spit it out immediately, this is what I just wrote (in no particular order): Road Warrior John Carpenter's The Thing Evil Dead 2 Reanimator Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom Robocop Bladerunner Drunken Master 2 Fight Club Wolf of Wall Street

@TheCinesthetic My desert island disc score is Miklós Rózsa’s “Ben Hur”, which rewards on every listen. Kickin’ it old school!

💯. From my experience: 1. the tail of problems in robotics is extremely long and fat 2. We don’t yet have models capable of solving most tasks with 99.9* SRs. While action chunking is THE innovation that has fueled this recent robotics explosion, we are due for another similar breakthrough 3. Robot FMs are not yet great at compositionality of motions (can’t combine motion A and B in a contextual way) 4. Robot hardware is not mature enough yet (when you pick up a box off the ground imagine the sensations you experience. The box digging into your knees, your nails trying to get underneath the box). The sensors for this kind of manipulation do not exist. Collecting this kind of data is a nightmare - the teleoperator cannot feel what the robot feels so collection is slow and imprecise 5. No one knows what kind of data is helpful for robotics (no one knew that for LLMs, but we used what we had). Such “free data” doesn’t exist for robots 6. Each deployment is different and due to lack of compositionality, data collection and model training often needs to start from scratch for every deployment
