Nathan Fielder: And do you understand why that's funny? Elizabeth Holmes: The robots were watching a movie and I thought that was funny. Fielder: Do you get that they're making jokes about the movie? Billy Evans (barely listening, watching YouTube at 40x speed): Lizzie I think you have a call.

This is not her scene. It's the Old Man's, and he seems to love that he's stolen it from her. It's a wonderful peek into his mind. @awalrusdarkly.bsky.social's daily dissection of THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE continues, for members only. buff.ly/vgtEKGX

Y'all got me all riled up and I just wrote 2,000 words about this so maybe look for that coming soon.

For all its nuance, the movie's really not that subtle. It starts with Holmes' husband saying they're going to "document everything," and they insist throughout that they're hiding nothing. Fielder, in contrast, feels like they're hiding EVERYTHING. This is what the ENTIRE FILM IS ABOUT.

I named a character in MAZYWOOD “Priscilla Stephens” after my 88-year-old aunt, a 1960s civil rights warrior in ailing health. She came to my book signing in Miami and was surprised to hear her name in my reading. 😍 I am still trying to raise money to help offset her bills. gofund.me/fef960f97

It's a film about young people in America in 1973 learning that their country doesn't necessarily love them back. @awalrusdarkly.bsky.social's daily dissection of THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE continues, for members only. buff.ly/K1TxD8G

“'You Can See Everything' is a hilarious, thrilling, fascinating, beautiful piece of art. What it certainly is not is a documentary, and it’s dangerous to pretend that it is,” writes Theranos whistleblower Tyler Shultz. https://bit.ly/4Bk2nDJ

statnews.comI was a Theranos whistleblower. In ‘You Can See Everything,’ Elizabeth Holmes is still lyingA more accurate name would be “You Can See Everything That We Chose To Point The Camera At,”Theranos whistleblower Tyler Shultz writes.

I'm so tired of this. I'm so tired of this idea that we're not allowed to turn cameras on bad people or that documentarians must always be Perfect Avatars of Truth or that the only purpose of a documentary film is Objective Truth At All Times, as if that's a thing that exists in human conversation.

A fantastic actor who never got the credit he deserved not just for his vulnerability and willingness to commit, but for his range. If you only know him from STAR TREK, go watch his BABYLON 5 episodes and see him play a truly gnarly sci-fi villain. Safe travels in the Final Frontier, Mr. Koenig.

My pal Danielle Koenig shared that her father Walter Koenig passed away last night at age 90. A performer whose kindness and warmth shone through the screen. He will be well remembered.

I am devastated to learn that Eric Bauza has died. I just spoke with him a couple months ago and I cannot express how joyous it was to have *the Looney Tunes* speaking to *me* and I also cannot express how much it was clear doing the voices brought Bauza joy. www.vulture.com/article/eric...

Donald Trump lashed out at Bill Maher in a record-length Truth Social post Sunday, calling their latest White House dinner a “waste of time” and telling the *Real Time* host, “Don’t call anymore.”

R.I.P. to Eric Bauza Out of all the actors who voiced the rabbit, you were the one who came the closest to Mel's original voice. You should've been around for 40 more years to voice him.
