photorealism is an exercise in technical mastery which, in its cold, mechanical emptiness, was an ironic commentary on the anachronism of painting 40 years ago, and today means nothing at all. i can think of no better way to represent obama's legacy on canvas. a great work of art

hi ben, someone in 1918 probably wouldn't see a print with a bunch of lines and scratches on it like you have here, because the film would have been new. old movies acquire these things due to age and improper storage; it's not actually how they always looked. hope this helps 👍

look i have to ask: do people really think "network error renders the site unusable and then just never gets fixed" is actually a plausible scenario for the death of a platform that G7 governments actively maintain thousands of accounts on. like think about this for two seconds

has there been a work of art (film, literature, whatever) made yet that deals seriously with the phenomenon of the "unsuccessful streamer"? feel like there's a lot to excavate there

in the future, after we've made our world into a decent place to live, "involuntary commitment" will be one of the currently ordinary practices our children will have the most trouble understanding, in the same way we struggle to understand witch burnings, or slavery

feels significant somehow that tiktok has the sort of content filters you'd see in an online game for children – how many people that can legally drink has it acclimatized to a social media experience where you can't say the word "drinking"?

like, "the antichrist" is just a story in a book. but it is a story about a type of guy a certain type of guy would very much like to be. and who's to say a skilled enough actor couldnt do, at least, a very convincing imitation

i would describe it as a very good movie which engages with popular modes of narrative image-making and storytelling in a jarring and artificial way to help communicate its ideas about japanese cultural memory, because im not a fucking child

How to describe Nobuhiko Ōbayashi's indescribable 1977 movie HOUSE (HAUSU)? A psychedelic ghost tale? A stream-of-consciousness bedtime story? An episode of Scooby-Doo as directed by Mario Bava? ✨ Any of the above will do for this hallucinatory head trip.

rank-and-file troops in Vietnam were trying to kill their superior officers so often it got its own name: fragging. today the term basically just refers to going beast mode in a video game. you would do well to reflect on what changed, and the answer isnt "the wars got more just"

Requiring artists to have a brand is the worst thing that ever happened to art, and possibly the worst thing about it is the rich and well-connected also get more time to actually be artists and keep their dignity while the rest of us are out here flailing in the muck of TikTok

There will never be another cult classic. If your movie or show underperforms, it will be removed from sight, and that eventual groundswell of support that's turned everything from Blade Runner to Heathers from disastrous flops to huge successes will never find it. The end.
