Christopher Nolan Calls Out "A Real Problem" In Amateur Film Criticism deadline.com/2026/08/christo…

The Western intellectual tradition has pursued a single, seductive dream: that the truth is waiting to be discovered. But what if this quest has led humanity into great danger?
Manuel Delaflor challenges the Enlightenment ideal of objective truth, arguing that our models don’t represent reality but rather that they create it.

"Thanks to the limits of modern home internet, 4K Blu-rays will always look better... as the data is all local. You’re not streaming a compressed version, which can be good enough when it’s your only option." –

“Your favorite movie might be on Netflix today, but will it still be there in a month, when you want to show it to someone you care about? Physical media is a constant, unlike digital, where movies are subject to the whims of corporate overlords."

Can you believe we actually made the first season of the show for so little? All due to the brilliance of @robtapert!
#SpartacusBloodAndSand it's the first show to be made almost entirely on virtual sets, and there isn't a minute of that footage that isn't worth every dollar of those two million spent on each episode @stevendeknight #RobertTapert #AndyWhitfield #StarzMedia #StarzProductions

So ridiculous. When I shifted to no more than 2 lines of scene direction, I saw an immediate, positive response, most notably the comment that the scripts were a super fast read. Such a minor adjustment that gives you a huge edge.

I would really love to do a Constantine/Swamp Thing book- I have already drawn both of them but a mini series or GN would be fantastic. Here's my take on them.

There will never be another cult classic. If your movie or show underperforms, it will be removed from sight, and that eventual groundswell of support that's turned everything from Blade Runner to Heathers from disastrous flops to huge successes will never find it. The end.

My letter in @FinancialTimes calling out the narrative of God-like, or super-human AI as a sleight of hand designed to make us look away from the questionable decisions being taken by Big Tech. @TuringPubPol @turinginst

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Nichelle. She was a beautiful woman & played an admirable character that did so much for redefining social issues both here in the US & throughout the world. I will certainly miss her. Sending my love and condolences to her family. Bill

Told the woman at our local grocery shop that I just got my second vax shot, she gave me a look & said "Hope you don't get a surprise next time you get a DNA check". Now I'm worried about my next "DNA check" because like everyone, I get those all the time

Today, acknowledging you don't need anymore notebooks until you actually use the thirty seven you've purchased, counts as writing.
