The Backrooms/Obsession phenom is truly the wildest thing to happen at the box office in years. Before Obsession today, I saw a Supergirl trailer. It's hard not to feel that while DC/Marvel/Star Wars execute (or try to craft) 10-year plans, the core young filmgoer is voting for something else. >

I finally saw Obsession because I was curious about how this no-star $750,000 movie became a huge hit, and....yeah, I get it. Extraordinary filmmaking and acting, and a truly contemporary take on horror: Incel-adjacent guy essentially invents AI girlfriend who's still in beta. It's bleak out there!
I am not one of those "There aren't going to be midterms" people. There are going to be midterms. And they're going to be incredibly scary. Elections are one of the rare moments when his team can't enforce collective delusion, but they're going to go to terrifying lengths to attempt it.
It's clearer every day that Trump has absolutely no idea how he's perceived in the country or the world except when he accidentally sees a picture he doesn't like--the peeling blue paint or the Kennedy Center tarp--on TV, or on the very rare occasions when a mean, mean reporter asks a real question.
I was just looking for this last week and was baffled by its disappearance!
Yeah, only the highest-quality takes are getting posted.

Jimmy knew a joke could only surprise an audience once. If something was off en route to a great line he'd shout "Bup bup bup!" to cut the actors off, then go back so a big laugh wasn't wasted on a bad take. Writers loved him for that. And for lots of other reasons too. We will all miss him.
5/5
Alonso is not exaggerating. I would put this one next to Windows, the only film Gordon Willis ever directed, on a shelf labeled "We're just gonna forget that ever happened."
I'm very touched by this. When I wrote the biography I didn't imagine younger artists would read it as a how-to manual about coping with success, failure, depression, fame, pride, humiliation, aging, ego. But books have a weird way of deciding what they're about. That one is about how to keep going.
I hope someone does an oral history of Burrows' career, because multi-cam sitcom direction is an art that I don't profess to understand fully, and I'd love to hear from actors and writers about what he did and how. I do know he was reputed to have a famous ear for what worked and didn't in a script.
James Burrows was not a giant in sitcom directing. He was THE giant. The primary director of Cheers and Taxi. The only director (I believe) of Will & Grace. The director whose pilots for Friends, Third Rock, Frasier, and Big Bang Theory got them on the air. The king. RIP. people.com/james-burrow...
Firing hundreds of intelligence people doesn’t seem like a great move the week after you lost a war, but what do I know?
First things first. Pulte demands top level security clearance, a government plane & security detail before his first day on the job. Another Trump appointee with his priorities straight.

Or he may be influenced by things that were influenced by those movies--second-hand or trickle-down influence happens a lot with young filmmakers.
This is like the makeup on his hands—thick, clumsy, obvious, and destined to call attention to the very thing it’s attempting to conceal.
The fight over the Kennedy Center—and Trump's enormous, humiliating fig leaf—as parable. It's fights like this as far as the eye can see. www.offmessage.net/p/detrumpifi...
Going to take it as a HUGE compliment that I grossed you out.
You win. Or lose, I'm not sure which, but congratulations.
It's disgusting!
Seeing it in a couple of days.
