Can’t stop thinking about the significance of the main vampire being Irish in SINNERS. He empathizes with the oppression of black Americans, but ultimately weaponizes his whiteness to become the thing he hated most by forcing his way of life onto them.

I’m the host and producer of this documentary about the Mississippi Delta Chinese video & also cultural consultant on @SinnersMovie! Ryan Coogler and his team were meticulous about the details—truly an honor to see nonfiction enter the fiction space in this spectacular way.

Try telling this to every editor I've ever worked with — I use it allll the time and have no shame about it and no plans to stop.

Ryan Coogler saying that Puss in Boots: The Last Wish inspired him to make Sinners might be the best thing I've heard all day

someone at work said that a generation of kids growing up not reading books is a generation of kids not learning how to imagine what it's like to put themselves in someone else's shoes and understand how/why they feel what they do (empathy)

An actor having such an athlete-coded mentality and not being afraid to showcase it rocks so much, Timmy has been on a generational run

Timothée Chalamet has starred in seven Best Picture Oscar nominees since 2017, leading four of them. There are A-listers who haven’t been in a single one over the course of decades. But sure, let’s knock him for caring too much and wanting to be great.
Christ.

It’s crazy in retrospect how confident and hopeful my generation (millennials) were fifteen years ago. We were making ground-breaking music. We were going to end racism forever. The internet was making everyone kinder and smarter. We had such dreams of a better world.

In your opinion, what is the most unabashedly romantic line in a film?

Studying rhetoric and communication for a PhD program + blending it with my background in psychology, neuroscience, and biology, and one thing's become clear: whether on purpose or not, most outspoken folks operate from a place of lashing out rather than solving problems.

OK I have noticed this with ChatGPT and other AI, but I also overuse the em-dash, so ....

A shortcut for detecting if something is written with AI is they all use this symbol "—" throughout the writing. It's relatively rare when a human uses it, maybe once or twice, if that. But AI chats love using it. No clue why.

You know what, I'm old enough now to loudly say fuck this kind of pretentious bullshit. Let Imagine Dragons and Benson Boone and their kind live, man. Let people who like them like them. And other singers/artists/makers, just make the shit you love and forget cynics like this.
huffy@sulkingtime
we need an official term for this imagine dragons genre so we can more effectively target and destroy it

This story lives rent free in my head:
Lord of the Rings star Sean Astin once asked Lesnie [LotR cinematographer] 'where is the light coming from? ' when they were shooting in what should have been a darkened tower.
Lesnie replied, “Same place as the music.”
