We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.

This was a really cute sitcom, and I’m looking forward to the new season. Daniel Radcliffe’s commitment to being a goofy little dude is unmatched.

Just zoom/pan on the photos, lady. Worked for Ken Burns, worked for everyone, it’ll work for you.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

Lula Goes HARD

Before he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 1991, he was just known as Anthony Mix-a-Lot

Even if they're not all for me, this is good. And hopefully, we can be spared future rounds of terminally online people declaring the movies are dead. Also, these movies are all made by human hands, minds and hearts.

What the genuine hell is wrong with these people

Bored and watching RINGU on Tubi (The People’s Streamer™)

I thought this was a joke. I thought Jessica was engaged in a classic goof-around. “That’s really funny!” I thought. But against every instinct I have to believe in a higher power, this is real: link.tubi.tv/rUNI2Uoxv7b

I hadn’t heard of CLOUDBURST before this, but I just checked it out and loved it. It’s on Prime for the rest of the month. www.amazon.com/gp/video/det...

After enough time, they become Comedy Girls

Think how much better we’d be if Elon had been in that sub looking for the Titanic

Absolute loser behavior, yes, but also worrying when it’s the world’s richest man

🚨🚨🚨 THE HOT ROCK is currently streaming on Prime Video. It's almost never streaming anywhere, and hard copies are often prohibitively expensive, so go watch it: www.amazon.com/gp/video/det...

Never underestimate how dumb people are

A video game studio that would make video games

Did you see the viral moment. Did you see the greatest thing ever recorded. Did you see the most amazing thing ever captured. Did you see the thing people couldn't believe. Did you see the interaction that blew people's minds. Did you see the exchange that will change everything you know about life.

AL MICHAELS: They say he is called The Machine and Nic Cage has to track him down in the pornography video tape underground. Wonderful film. 8 mm. And that's too high for Kirk. I'll tell you who has not been a machine. Trevor Lawrence, spraying it around all night. HERBSTREIT: here comes the punter

I need to be high for this

This is private equity, this is what it does. Buy up businesses, run them into the ground, and rip them apart for short-term profit. www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

THE DIPLOMAT is a science-fiction show about what would happen if smart people worked in politics

Small typo: Tom Skerritt was actually born already 49 years old and stayed 49 his entire life www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

Ironically, “pet cemetery” always looks misspelled to me

DUNGEON CRAWLER CARL

I will never understand what possessed someone to look at CARRIE and think "this should be STRANGER THINGS"

This month marks the 14th anniversary of "East/West College Bowl" -- www.youtube.com/watch?v=gODZ...

Every time I see the title IT ENDS, I assume it is the sequel to IT FOLLOWS. I always correct myself, and then I make the mistake again the next time.

Man, RIP John Anderson. So many great songs, including some of the best country of the 90s: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1AY...

An important piece of #hollywood #history

‘Wildwood’ director Travis Knight on AI: “A pencil is a tool. A paintbrush is a tool. A 3D printer is a tool. A digital capture is a tool. AI is not a tool. AI can go fuck itself.”

I just got laid off from my full-time job, which is awful. If you're looking to hire someone (or know someone looking to hire someone) who's excellent at writing, editing, communications in general, and/or cultural criticism, email me at mousterpiececinema at gmail dot com. Don't be shy! Seriously.

"They tell you this is not the place to raise concerns, try to go through this other channel. This is the common technique. They always tell you to do something else, try to make you tired, and you will never get an answer."

At some point in the last couple years, for reasons unknown, I started naming every nameable hero in the video games I play “Burt Wonderstone”

I should probably also confess I didn't really like THE ODYSSEY that much either (it's not a mystery story, and rearranging it so that the hero's motivation is a mystery reveal does not make it inherently more impactful or interesting, and just waters everything down), so I'm a black sheep this year

So help me out, is the thesis of YCSE just “some people can lie really well”

Really glad this piece quotes Natasha Schull, whose "Addiction By Design" is invaluable in explaining the genuinely opiate-like appeal of slot machine gambling. This article does well to connect that to what I see with my parents when they're on their phones.

End of an era. KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC is one of the best Star Wars game ever made. MASS EFFECT is one of the best RPGs and sci-fi games ever made. DRAGON AGE: ORIGINS is a legend. Outstanding writing and world-building that was catastrophically mismanaged by bad leadership. RIP
