Walter Koenig's Pavel Chekov was one of Gene Roddenberry's biggest swings with the original series. For season 2, he put a Russian on the bridge of the Enterprise, on prime time network television, just 5 short years after the Cuban Missile Crisis and during the height of the Cold War. ๐Ÿฅบ

When she says here "We didnโ€™t use it to fabricate a person or make an avatar of a person" this is nonsense, because if you look around at the historical faces of real former slaves that her film has animated some of them have been turned into undulating grotesqueries, and it is obscene

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

I know absolutely nothing about Lula except that i saw someone share a clip on insta of him in celebration kissing a trans woman politician on the cheek and oh my god is that a radical act for a politician in 2026 so lets fucking go

I absolutely love this bit of Kristy's conversation with Maria Bamford and think it imparts a really important lesson that it's important for a lot of us to take to heart. Be glad with what you have, the life you've made for yourself. Don't let Capitalism nag you to death and unhappiness

Maria Bamford has been a marvel to me since I was a kid, recording her specials off tv onto VHS so I could play them whenever I wanted. Hereโ€™s my interview with her, which still feels like a dream. mashable.com/entertainmen...

Bolsonaro's loss is not just a loss for Bolsonaro. It's a loss for Trump. For Musk. For Milei. For Netanyahu. For Farage. For Meta and Zuckerberg. For the meat barons, the fossil fuel corporations, and the rest of the neocolonial looters. And it is a massive win for humanity and the living planet.

For @ebertvoices.bsky.social, asked WILDWOOD director Travis "AI Can Go Fuck Itself" Knight about a cheeky sign tucked away in the film that reads, โ€œEnjoy handmade art before itโ€™s gone forever.โ€ No mere easter egg, it's something he values in our "increasingly frictionless" world ๐Ÿ“ฝ bit.ly/4kdJCeT

For @ebertvoices.bsky.social, had a great conversation with WILDWOOD director Travis Knight about the filmโ€™s long journey, preserving stop-motion as an artistic endeavor in an increasingly automated world, Portland being the center of stop-motion, and much more ๐Ÿ“ฝ๏ธ www.rogerebert.com/interviews/a...

My first review from @fantasiafestival.com just happens to be my review of Nicolas Winding Refnโ€™s HER PRIVATE HELL which is out in theaters this Friday. Itโ€™s my favorite movie of the year so far @neon-rated.bsky.social

Itโ€™s good that cheesecake factory is decorated like an occult temple to an eldritch deity. Any restaurant can feed you cheesecake, only Cheesecake Factory makes it feel like part of a ritual
