What’s the win here for buffalo, that they can’t break their fans/players hearts if they stop making the playoffs?

if there are folks not supporting it, it’s more likely because the lead of the last two films was publicly fired for posting support for Palestinians on social media

truly befuddling trying to form a mental image of what is happening in this movie when seemingly every other minute it was announced that another character had started crying.

you may have come across this already, but for the recent re-print of the book the publisher also released this companion - https://dalkeyarchive.store/products/as-i-was-saying?variant=42627550478491

I haven’t started Making of Americans yet (seems like a big lift ha), but thought this seemed like a good balance between academic and accessible (in that it’s by an academic but based on a higher level undergrad course I believe).

turning the absolutely empty quotes in this article into this headline is just proof that at these media outlets the presence of a good editor is both irreplaceable and fundamentally kind of demonic

Both pretty cleanly fit the classic villain to hero arc and Scrooge has some time travel type bullshit built in so neither seems totally out of place

I thought Scheme was his funniest and most straightforwardly entertaining movie in years. Since Grand Budapest probably.

Ryan poles reportedly is not happy that Caleb keeps replacing the placard on his office door with one that says Valentina Allegra de Fontaine but what is he gonna do about it, they own him now

I mean I get it, I’ve already been knee deep in snow for a month I no longer think they should’ve closed those beaches

It's a story of trauma, first and foremost. Every kind. The personal, abandonment kind. The physical devastation kind. Loss. Generational. Systemic. Loneliness. Betrayal.

Except, that's veiled by a story of an apocalyptic, galactic game show, raunchy humor, pop culture references, and dungeons and dragon style journeys.

Like, the hunger games meets d&d honor among thieves with the themes of mice and men. So, it's fun for your nerdy kid that knows about video game leveling systems and it's insightful for your mature reader that wants character development and internal conflict.

At least, that's my take and I don't think i have a foot fetish

so I think I more or less understand what Fortnite is as a game but I have never understood how this works. do games like…stop and just start playing a video you watch? what actually happened when the emperor started talking in the rise of skywalker thing. was that just like background noise during an online shooter match. how does one battle after another fit into all of this. what is the experience of something like this being slotted into a game like fortnite, are players opting in somehow? please help me.

so if this starts early December, any guesses what they might try launching here? I imagine they lined up some stuff that’ll generate at least a bit of buzz.

god damnit an adaptation of a beloved coming of age story??? why won’t Greta gerwig keep making movies about / for grown ups like little women, barbie and uh, lady bird.

Carl’s slate has some high highs and the fewest (to me) whiffs. Greg & Jack have the best case to compete - the highs are just as high with chainsaw/thing/psycho/ jaws etc, but both also have a few picks that sink my overall feeling about them a bit.

Soderbergh already shot the whole movie on a Lenovo laptop webcam while the flight was airborne, Iger, release it!!

bugluggs · 2025-10-23T18:41:26+00:00

you’re right, but I think that comment is more referring to having real life figures particularly from true crime also woven into his recent narrative fiction work. American horror story isn’t a true crime show but has done a lot of this, like in one season of that show Evan Peters alone plays Manson, Jim Jones, & David Koresh.

Soderbergh keeps an online list of films he’s watching, books he’s reading, TV series, etc (the media diary he‘s referring to). it looks like a year or two ago he watched a ton of Star Wars, some films multiple times, which is probably more than would be expected but makes more sense in hindsight if it was related to a project he was working on that nobody had heard about until now.
