Project Hail Mary
Peter Suderman likes it.
[Afternoon update]
You're watching a $248 million film and not a single green or blue screen was used. The alien is a handmade puppet. The cockpit physically rotates to simulate gravity. I looked at the production tech behind this 95% score, and the engineering is wild.

[Late-afternoon update]
Most movies, I leave going “yes, but.”
— Stephen Fleming (@StephenFleming) March 20, 2026
“Yes, but the lighting was too dim.”
“Yes, but the sound mix was terrible.”
“Yes, but they skipped this major plot point.” (If based on a book.)
“Yes, but they completely miscast this character.”
Not “Project Hail Mary.” It hits all the…
“A Cult Of Death”
It’s a shame that more people don’t listen to Douglas Murray.
Wow.

Douglas Murray. A single minute.
Give yourself a single minute to listen to this.

Celebration
I watched both of her gold-winning performances, but I hadn’t seen her at the gala afterward. She is such a bundle of pure joy.

Ice Dancing
This is an age-old controversy, but while it (and figure skating in general) is entertaining, it is not a sport. It’s ballet on ice, except that ballet has no judges, biased or otherwise. The American team was clearly robbed. I have no problem keeping it in the Olympics, and it’s athletics in the sense that it requires training and practice, but stop pretending that it’s a sport. Sports scores should be objective, not whimsical.
Lawrence Of Arabia
An interesting new look at the history from Bob Zimmerman.
Catherine O’Hara
There will never be another Moira Rose.
I thought she was great in the Christopher Guest flicks as well.
Ameliamentum
The anime style is not my cup of tea, but this could rouse the British lads.
Stop what you're doing and give this a watch 👀

This is the BEST Amelia video I've seen. @Skyebrows has outdone themselves – the quality, the detail, the easter eggs.
Amelia is more than a meme now. She's a movement 💜pic.twitter.com/l37BeQuNk6

The Canary In The Coal Mine Of Hollywood
The Sunset Strip is dying.
I’ve never habituated the place, though I’ve often driven down it in the daytime on the way to somewhere else. I haven’t done it in a while. Probably a lot less business for the “Sunset pigs” that Joni Mitchell sung about in her song California.
