Hip hip hooray for "Godzilla Minus One," the first Godzilla movie to win an Oscar. It won in the Best Visual Effects category. Variety has all the details on how the film was made with 35 VFX artists and a $15 million budget.
🎥 I'm either watching POOR THINGS on #Hulu, or SATANIC HISPANICS on #Shudder tonight. Not sure which one will win out as I want to see them both very badly.
🎨 But before that, ART! I have a painting & illustration for two different projects I NEED to complete, and an illustration for MEEEE.
We can all see how destructive to the climate and environment our current system is, along with how unfair it is to people who are less privileged, especially in the Global South. Ultimately, this seemingly insane demand for endless economic growth threatens the very survival of our civilization.
So why is "Business As Usual" still allowed to continue? Why does this sordid show go on, week after week after week?
Because the people in charge, our owners, LOVE the way things are going. The billionaires who control the politicians are getting richer every day, and they see no need for change.

Life under a corporate dictatorship; whereby the corporate construct was imagined as an incorporeal (without body) parallel legal fiction to people and became our tacitly appointed dictator. To the corporate dictatorship we pray in our competition for money and self-destruction in consumption of luxury goods beyond survival needs.
Recommend movie Elysium to see the endgame of our self-enslavement to the corporate dictatorship.
It's a solid, relatively smart #slasher.
It's definitely a #HORROR#movie w lots of gore. Roth's stuff always seems +5 pts too mean spirited for me. Maybe it's that his gore is so realistic, or that I don't find his movies joyfully deranged so much as misanthropic.
While I appreciate that it got made, & ALSO how many things from the OG #Grindhouse trailer got incorporated in some way, I still feel like the 2007 faux trailer is the superior movie, lol.
Peter Benchley's bestselling novel, "Jaws," came out 50 years ago; the Steven Spielberg movie followed just a year later. Both were phenomenally successful and spawned the idea that sharks were malevolent creatures that preyed on unsuspecting swimmers. According to Gavin Naylor, Director of Florida Program for Shark Research at the University of Florida, the book and film also inspired a generation of scientists. Here's his story for @TheConversationUS.
Today's bizarre "entertainment" of chumming for sharks so people can harass them in cages and with an unregulated number of invasive probes and tags can also be directly traced to the movie #HumansDontOwnTheWorld#Wildlife#OceanLife #RespectTheWild
Silent Running might be one of the most depressing sci-fi's I've ever watched.
I can see how in the 70s it probably was distant enough to feel like a fantastical drama, and the idea of earth losing its ecosystems with the last remnants being kept alive in outer-space domes was an unrealistic idea, but today it feels just way too current.
Bruce Dern is absolutely amazing, but omg this movie just gets more and more sad until it ends as bleakly as it begun
The classified documents case will make use of a recording which indicates that #Trump had a highly sensitive document which he knew was NOT declassified.
The chain of evidence looks strong and while there is much news media spinning, a court of law is more rigorous environment where focus on fact is primary
Much of the ugly anger that currently swirls through #USPolitics is directed at the #LGBTQI community. A significant portion of that rage is based on an interpretation of Biblical verses translated into English.
What if that post war translation was wrong?
This is a #film that needs to be supported as it attacks religious bigotry at its root
