Progressives arguing is HILARIOUS
I’d think it was a sketch but they’re not this funny. “WHITE LADY! YOU’RE A WHITE LADY!”
His name is Skeeter and he also made a nuclear reactor in his backyard from his meemaws old refrigerator

The problems facing Helm's Deep are not about race or religion. They're much harder to fix, guys.
Donald Trump’s diagnosis of the protests is plain wrong. The problems facing Europe’s liberals are not about race or religion—and are much harder to fix economist.com/leaders/2026/1…
Wikipedia is going under because of its editors
The wonder of the online world was built by a community of eccentric volunteers. Can it survive the A.I. models it helped train? newyorker.com/books/under-re…
This was a student film funded by the directors who went into debt to make it. That’s the way things work. The actors wanted the screen credit and agreed to do it as they risked literally nothing to make it. They could have invested in it, which would make them producers.
Learned more about the making of the Blair Witch Project and I am SO angry on behalf of Mike, Josh and Heather.
I am one of those people who saw it in the theater and was completely ignorant about how the film was actually made. All of the confusion and viral marketing around it led to so much misinformation and ambiguity, especially since their real names were used as the names of the characters they portrayed.
These three young people were improvisational actors. They were NOT deceived or misled in order to get them to “act better.” They never felt genuinely scared or went truly hungry. Yes, they really camped and no, they were not given scripts, but they knew the general plot line and were given prompts every day to help them improvise.
They had to be trained to use cameras. They filmed the entire movie, every scene, THEMSELVES with hand held cameras and without ANY director telling them what to do. It was all instinct and improvisation and acting their butts off.
And they made creative storyline decisions that were brilliant and inspired. Michael C. Williams decided to kick the map into the river and he didn’t tell anyone, and he instinctively chose the moment when they were all laughing to inform Heather and Josh of what he did. He came up with that and it was a HUGE moment in the film that changed the trajectory. And Heather responded to it brilliantly, as well.
Heather improvised her entire flashlight monologue and cried real tears, not because she was abused or genuinely frightened by the crew, but because she was a GOOD ACTOR.
And after this film became huge and broke records for being the most profitable movie ever made, the studio screwed these kids out of a reasonable paycheck that would have changed their lives and been a drop in the bucket for the studio given how huge the profits were.
The three young artists who made this movie everything it is did not have agents or representation, so they got nothing.
Additionally, because of the way in which the film was marketed and all of the confusion around it, everyone (including other studios and casting directors) thought these three were not really acting. They assumed they were having real moments of hunger and terror and stress, because the studio wanted everyone to believe that.
They FILMED and ACTED and WROTE and IMPROVISED a timeless classic, got no money and no credit for it. When the box office broke $100M, the studio sent them fruit baskets. 😭
Hollywood is truly malevolent. This has to be the biggest injustice in Hollywood history.
Today, millions of young adults left their homes to go out in public while wearing their pajamas, and any and all criticism of Boomers is now dismissed
RIP Dallas
There’s always actors who never made it big, but were one of those performers who you think of as a great actor. They’re part of your childhood, and your love of film. Someone whose name on a film would make you check it out. That was Tom Skerritt
I have no idea who this is
"Celebrities and their production companies have a big PR problem," writer, producer and actor Lena Waithe tells @kerrymflynn at #MediaTrendsLive.
“A lot of people can't even tell you the name of the production company of a particular celebrity” and what defines a celebrity “is starting to change.”
