Patrick Stewart has died at 86 💔🕊️tmz.com/2026/10/29/patrick-s…
you won't run into Cassavetes if your movie-watching is based on check-listing picks from institutional tastemakers, that's true, but he's Lincoln in the realm of "leaving home, talking to strangers, listening to filmmakers speak" movie-loving and THAT is the more valuable path👍🏽

AFI 2026: JOSEPHINE, by its very nature, is a difficult and confrontational watch. But Beth de Araújo's latest succeeds at meeting you halfway and making you engage with the horrors that some are forced to experience. It's one of the year’s best.

2026, famously, a slow news year
“Every possible -ism and -phobia and moral impropriety has been ascribed to me since I began my largely pro-bono career as an internet girl,” writes Ivy Wolk.
In a new essay, the 22-year-old comedian and actor reflects on the way her dark thoughts about her own self-image are interpreted as “soulless edgelord fare” — and all the times she’s been canceled since she started posting her comedy online as a teen, including when children once decided en masse that she was a “whorish foil” to a famous friend of hers.
“As much as I wish for anonymity or a slate wipe sometimes, I am grateful for the perspective I’ve aggregated and the ways in which I have been challenged never to abandon my beliefs and my unbounding love for other people,” Wolk writes. “It cannot harden me, it cannot isolate me from community, and it cannot remove me from public life.”

“Holmes has always been seen through other people’s filters, and Fielder doesn’t exactly remove that filter—he makes us aware that it’s there.”

day 1 of AFI Fest in the can, this thing just blew my fuckin wig off– heart palpitations, eyes welling up, a fear i haven't felt since watching INLAND EMPIRE for the first time
every other month the remaining filmtwts debate over spoilers, and my only stance is that cinephiles are anti-social enough, do you really want to encourage them to ruin plot twists in normal social settings, have you spoken to a regular person in the last 2 yrs

In YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING, you truly see Elizabeth Holmes. You can see the CEO. The fraudster. The mother. The liar. The victim. The perpetrator. The genius. The fool. The woman making scrambled eggs. And yet, you can still not see her at all. merrygoroundmagazine.com/you…
going to make the Kendrick superbowl look like an actual revolutionary act of artistic subversion lol
Puck reports that Jay-Z has picked Jay-Z to headline the 2027 Super Bowl halftime show.
Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber were reportedly considered.

I had a really weird freakout moment during the Nathan Fielder-Elizabeth Holmes movie, not because of anything crazy in the movie, but because I saw the Austin, TX Airbnb they stayed in the night before Holmes went to jail and realized I stayed in the same one for my buddy's bachelor party shortly thereafter.
