putting reality tv in the cinema is very funny

I think You Can See Everything is freaking ppl out cause they cant hold multiple things in their head at once: 1. Both the ppl in the couple are evil 2. The guy is evil in immediately recognizable ways 3. Theyre both actually fully in love 3. Nate is also kinda evil

this is the problem with trying to make a film like that as science fiction, you are confronted with sf fans' inability to read

The problem with Verhoeven's Starship Troopers is that it's conception of fascism is basically aesthetic- fascism is attractive blonde people wearing black uniforms in shots evoking Leni Riefenstahl, not oppression and murder.

very funny to have a TV Famous person outshine an Internet Famous person like a thermonuclear bomb, and then for a random person to do the same

there’s no way around people being annoying on the internet, but also they’re not as much to blame as the way that marketing is more and more actively being built around and to encourage people being annoying on the internet — it’s something pushed from the top down to make money

new column, on becoming completely uninterested in the moviegoing zeitgeist splicetoday.com/moving-pictu…

Stifling Zeitgeist

The promotional-discourse cycle around popular films like You Can See Everything drains all desire to talk about them, let alone see them.

Basically no one is talking about the fact that Nathan Fielder intentionally deceives people into believing that a series of still images projected in quick succession is actually a “moving picture”

The past is a foreign country. Remember this period vaguely: my dad took me to the famous May Day 2000 demo (the one with the Churchill mohawk) when I was seven, and later all the free festivals Ken put on as mayor. Reading about ESF in London couldn’t seem more distant, though.

Alfonso Cuarón said more in a couple frames of Children of Men — Picasso’s Guernica backdropping the luxury apartment — about the same idea Iñárritu spent 2 1/2 interminable hours circling in Digger
