Really must be quite depressing to be a serious actor & spend most of your time being forced into silly content gimmicks. Just endlessly banal shtick. Can only applaud Seydoux for refusing to eat a stale croissant for Instagram giggles
Léa Seydoux tries some of the finest French and British delicacies for ELLE UK.

I've always wondered about the white subway tile that's used so extensively in Jarman's set design; I interviewed Mark Kermode about the 'Devils' re-release, and this is what he told me:
Derek Jarmen’s sets are the biggest winner of the new restoration. I’ve seen this movie before a couple of times, but seeing this new transfer on the big screen I almost said “Oh my god” out loud a couple of times when it cut to an establishing shot of the sets.

Trauma recovery is going to ask us to have high standards & strong boundaries-- which can be rough for survivors who have been conditioned to believe we deserve neither.

Turns out we're going to have to start before we believe the new thing. Lucky us.

AI is more and more overtly acting like a mafiosi shakedown of the rest of the economy + governments: "See, we made agents. Wouldn't want the agents to ...trouble... you, right? Well give us more money then."
Exactly. We have companies that have unleashed malware and viruses world wide, whose CEOs should be arrested and prosecuted, who have somehow been able to change this crime into a marketing gimmick instead.

A lot of ppl misunderstand this: commodity fetishism refers to a phenomenon in which the value of products on the market appears as a property inherent to them obscuring the social relations which actually produced it and makes people sexually aroused and cum at the thought of it
