honestly i’m really struggling with the shallow acceptance of the michael biopic. from peers even!!!! i feel insane.

The Jackson estate can't hide Leaving Neverland from those who've already seen it A suppressive legal battle turned the moving Sundance documentary Leaving Neverland into a ghost haunting the Michael Jackson biopic.

I will never forget the experience of seeing LEAVING NEVERLAND at its Sundance premiere. For @avclub.com I wrote about a devastating, definitive documentary about surviving sexual abuse that cannot be erased.

The Columbine massacre was on this date in 1999. Instead of energizing our country to get gun violence under control, it kicked off a new normal. One of the best explanations ever of journalism's destructive impact on mass shootings came from Roger Ebert in his review of Gus Van Sant’s “Elephant.”

"Tilly Norwood" is an actor in the same way that Ariel or Shrek are actors

Can an AI Performance Win an Oscar? Val Kilmer’s Digital Resurrection Is Forcing Hollywood to Create New Awards Rules Can an AI performance win an Oscar? Val Kilmer's role in "As Deep as the Grave" is forcing awards bodies to reckon with its acting eligibility rules.

we should start describing "AI performances" for what they really are: ANIMATION. variety.com/2026/film/aw...

I still occasionally use X for work reasons, and I see the algorithms are doing great.

(The Pitt has not been cancelled)

There used to a pop song every year named "Hero" and the chorus was always "You're a hero deep inside / don't ever let your hero hide". But then 9/11 happened, and every pop song was named "Party Booty (Bootyhole Remix) feat DJ A$$crack". And if it isn't true don't correct me.

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

Federal judge unloads on ‘unserious’ RFK Jr., says anti-trans policy showed his ‘cruelty’ Judge Mustafa T. Kasubhai vacated the “Kennedy Declaration,” finding it unlawfully attempted to override medical standards and restrict care for transgender youth.

Breaking: HHS’s ban on gender-affirming care is struck down. Rarely have I read a ruling this sharply worded.

“This case is one of a long list of examples of how a leader’s wanton disregard for the rule of law causes very real harm to very real people.”

i feel like getting upset about lena dunham for any possible reason in 2026 is a personality flaw

But Mr. Mayor have you considered how filling those potholes and taxing the wealthy on their vacant 2nd properties in the city that you govern will fare with voters at this diner in Missouri

i smoked it all out decades ago

Dave Mathews in a keffiyeh holding up signs that say STOP THE GENOCIDE and STOP KILLING CHILDREN at a concert

This is not a knock on DMB but if you had told me twenty years ago that Dave Mathews would be this outspoken on an issue that Radiohead completely shat the bed on, well... I would've been surprised!

sitting outside of the parking garage, lol

accidentally saw the mummy in SCREEN X, an absolute flop of a premium format at amc

When he is telling other cast and crew that "it doesn't get better than this," it's about being able to see your kids.

At the fear of treading into discourse, I think a lost part of Noah Wyle's career that he has emphasized dozens of times is that The Pitt is the first show he's made in 15 years where he gets to sleep in his own bed and work exclusively with LA based crew, and that's what makes it special to him.

to be more clear: i will likely binge the whole thing after the show ends

100%, but i like it much more when there isn't so much NOISE about the thing that i am watching in the moment. this is a show i will watch when it is over.

i still haven't seen the pitt and the way people talk about it makes me feel like i've saved myself

TMZ setting up in DC to follow politicians around is FINALLY the appropriate lowbrow "news" coverage this administration has merited all along.

me neither 🤷‍♂️

so far it seems like people think the new season of beef is either better than the white lotus or worse than the white lotus, but pretty much everyone agrees it’s doing the same thing as the white lotus (i was very unimpressed by it and was glad when it was over)
