I just wanna say I’ve never even met Matt but I do know firsthand how many young diverse critics and writers he’s been generous to, hired, amplified and been kind to.

Matt has been a mentor and a friend to half the critics coming up in the past few decades. He helped me get my very first gig. His bookstore is a treasure trove of gorgeous art and behind the scenes knowledge. I can't recommend it enough.

Someone I’d recommend reaching out to as a guest is Matt Kane, creator of the show Hysteria!

I just realized this character from Better Off Dead is named Roy Stalin.

Mr Holland’s Opus

Cartoon by Stephen Collins for the Guardian, here's the script: [Scene is the inside of a SOUP. Some CARROTS and BITS OF BROCCOLI are floating around and a STOCK CUBE and a BAY LEAF have just been dropped in.]  1 STOCK CUBE: Alright lads - this is Bay Leaf. My colleague from the spice rack. 2 BROCCOLI: Hi Bay Leaf BAY LEAF: Yuh yuh hi 3 CARROTS: You up for getting proper blended with us later, Bay Leaf? BAY LEAF: Nuh mate, getting scooped out before soup stage. 4 CARROTS: Oh! So… you’re not being eaten then? BAY LEAF: Eaten! Haha 5 BAY LEAF: Not allowed mate. I’m afraid I’m a lil’ bit *toooo intense*... 6 BAY LEAF: Just here for the flavour hit. Special forces, y’know. That’s why there’s just one of me. 7 BAY LEAF: Over-deploy and you’d have this whole soup stiiinking of bay leaf… 8 BAY LEAF: You might wanna stand back actually. This place is about to get preeetty bay leafy... 9 [Silent pause] 10 CARROTS: Are you doing something BAY LEAF: Sure am mate. 11 BAY LEAF: Suuuuure am. 12 BAY LEAF [Getting scooped out by chef’s spoon]: You need training to perceive it. CARROTS: OK

I’m convinced this is how a bay leaf would talk

I don’t always like the show but this was a good season. And Kit Harrington is very good.

I screened this for my South Asian Film Series and damn did those too look great on the big screen. (Also, Roshan Seth and Sharmila Tagore are reliably great.)

The Jet Li swordfight scene is spectacular.

*reaction (weird autocorrect)

Reminds me of the Ron Howard episode of The Studio. (And I had the same expert watching The Rip.)

The moment where he puts her hand on his mouth (which he mostly covers when around other people) is so affecting.

Howard the Duck erasure.

The good stuff is in the LCA store. Esp on 313 day.

And sixth man which he also should have been in the running for

I recently did a chronological watch of all Star Wars. Hadn’t seen any of the shows and had avoidEd TROS. I occasionally listened to the corresponding Skytalkers recaps to process big moments. Will be fun to follow a new show in real time.

I described the premise of this movie to my screenwriting students while giving notes in our workshop. They were shocked it existed.

Duren and Stew wouldn’t let him in the Dawg Pound anyway.

I saw it in IMAX because I was in the mood for fast cars and had a decent time. I thought Javier Bardem also made what could have been a thankless part enjoyable.

Kerry Condon is so charming in this. Made the non-vroom sections enjoyable.

Really wish Sasser would get more tick. He’s the 2nd best shooter on a team that needs shooters.

I think you’re conflating my post with someone else’s. Where above do I advocate for calling it a restoration? I wouldn’t even call Murch’s cut of Touch of Evil a restoration. Even though it helps me better understand the pacing Welles imagined for that film.

Yes and I’m speaking more in the educational value. My institution has some of Welles archives and film students worked on a VR recreation of a scene for Citizen Kane based on set diagrams. And it helped them understand Welles’ creative choices on how he shot it.

You don’t see the educational value in things like this?

I’m interested in seeing an AI reconstruction of Welles’s cut. I wouldn’t consider the film “preserved” or the AI sections (which should be labelled) as faithful to Welles‘s vision. But as a teaching tool, it would be useful to get a sense of the original intention as laid out in his notes.

You can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test

Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs)

Good tech.

Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales)

Bad tech.

Fuck that gui
