i hear Lena Dunham is doing a Polly Pocket adaption. sounds like a joke but absolutely real. tremendously excited about it.

wow I still thought it was a joke but checked and it really is real

oh fuck. an interesting film that's also a massive success comes along, and I was thinking 'maybe the studios will take more chances on new and original stuff now'. but no they're gonna ruin it

45 movies in development already. there's gonna be an Uno movie starring Lil Yachty ffs. 'Barney' with Daniel Kaluya. Hot Wheels is gonna be "emotional and grounded and gritty”. all for adults with the same sardonic tone and it'll make barbie shit retroactively

In Japan, however, this jubilant fusion, including “Barbenheimer” double features and online mash-ups of Barbie’s pink fantasia with images of Oppenheimer-era nuclear explosions, have been met with a very different response: anger.

Ohhhh man, get over it guys, it was aaages ago now. Lighten up for fuck's sake.

great that hollywood has finally moved on from rinsing the same old marvel and DC characters to something more original at last.

I feel sorry for the kids who are getting the cultural equivalent of reheated spam. On the other hand, at least teenagers will rebel by reinstating the patriarchy.

the parameters have totally changed. we're all getting tricked by our upbringings into using late 20th centuary ways of thinking about cultural production. all of that is over.

auto-photography and auto-publication for example

its almost too obvious to write, but peer-to-peer cultural production rather than eg top down studio led heavily financed cultural production

One film is about attacking a long vanquished bogeyman with crudely wielded ammunition that leaves even the casual onlooker scarred for life. The other is Oppenheimer.

Polaroids, posters, pamphlets, pfanzines, we were there first.

Tik-tok is like channel hopping, but without ever feeling that you've missed anything.

Expecting Tik-tok to produce anything of lasting value is like hoping for a Sunday roast from a candy floss machine.

Bequeathing Tik-tok to the young is like Slash chucking all his guitars in the dumpster and giving his son a kazoo.
