@crimatt456 @bestofbreakin I said “next to no faults”. And he’s a chemist giving people what they want, free of impurities. It’s not his fault what happens to the product afterwards.

@Cade_Onder Well sure, they were about to buy a business with a built-in distribution network. They don’t have that.

Are there any movies where MOST of the characters are terrible people?

@LukeBarnett Production Designers and Art Directors make crazy money, and that individual could be there now. You’re never paid for what you’re doing. You’re paid for what you’ve done.

The Obsession art director post. Man, what a choice. One year total experience. Only credit pre-Obsession is a single short film. Sign on to a low budget indie. Agree to rate. Movie explodes. You're suddenly the Art Director fo the most talked about film of the year. If this ever happens to you, let me give one piece of advice. Embrace it. Use the credit to fight off offers, get a BTL agent, turn those difficult three weeks into an incredible career. Do NOT cut every connection you have to the filmmakers, put out tweets about how you wish you'd shut down their production, and complain about the rate you agreed to (which isn't even like $100 or some student film sketchiness). Do you know how many indies I have done as an actor for $240/day? A fucking lot. Every single time I know what I'm getting into and I hope to god it turns out well and leads to another opportunity. I cannot even imagine getting cast in Obsession and then putting out a career ruining post about it instead of trying to leverage it into more work.

@facetedcarapace @Srirachachau It’s a truly horrible, disingenuous way to talk about wealth & yet they all can’t stop doing it. Ivanka’s story about being young and Trump pointing to a homeless person saying, “he has more than me” is the ultimate example. And she tells it with a delightful giggle. Disgusting.

The incredibly wealthy love to do this weird "I don't actually have any liquid cash" thing as if that's how wealth works. Money is a thing normal people like you and me and worry about. Rich people have *assets* and debt. They live off loans leveraged against what they own.

MrBeast reveals he has less than $1,000,000 to his name despite being a Billionaire on paper "I have negative money right now, I'm borrowing money that's how little money I have. Technically everyone watching this video has more money than me in their bank account"

@CalltoActivism He’s not confused. He simply only cares about himself and to an incredibly lesser extent, Republicans. He sees his endorsement winning a referendum on how great he is, and thinks elections will keep going his way. He’s a solipsistic idiot, but not confused

🚨TRUMP IS CONFUSED ABOUT THE PRIMARY Trump just said “I don’t care about the midterms” because Republicans winning last night means voters are happy with the war. Of course Republicans won… IT WAS A PRIMARY. Trump, 80, is genuinely confused about what election happened. Wow.

@PulpLibrarian Loved this movie as a kid… And was it one of the very first with a post-credits reveal? I remember the ticket taker telling us to stay until the very end.

Young Sherlock (1985). This is remembered for its early (and effective) use of CGI, but it's actually a cracker of an adventure movie. There's a bit of Indiana Jones and a bit of The Goonies to it: no surprise given the involvement of Steven Spielberg!

Lupita Nyong’o addresses the racist backlash to her casting as Helen of Troy in “The Odyssey,” after some critics called Christopher Nolan a “coward” for not casting a white actress: “This is a mythological story,” Nyong’o said in an interview. "I’m very supportive of Chris’ intention with it and with the version of this story that he is telling. Our cast is representative of the world. I’m not spending my time thinking of a defense. The criticism will exist whether I engage with it or not.” Nyong’o said her interpretation of the character goes deeper than her beauty. “You can’t perform beauty,” she said. “I want to know who a character is. What is beyond beauty? What is beyond looks? That’s the thing about doing such a well-known text, which has been studied and interpreted and derived from. The research could be endless. The good thing about working with a writer like Chris is that it’s on the page. The investigation starts with the pages you’re given. That’s what I based it on.” variety.com/2026/film/news…

@agraphafx Ah, I thought you were saying you had a bad time working on the production itself.

@_davernst_ I just didn’t like the film. It falsely advertised supernatural stuff, and was more like an episode of Millennium. I was so excited, and very let down.

@RpsAgainstTrump I’d never pay for it, but the @grok prompt to create his reaction had he won the primary would be great right here

@CentristMadness “I love lamp” probably made millions in T-shirt sales. Maybe “I love lab leak” could do the same?
