I propose a ban on rich guys remaking High & Low until we figure out what’s going on.
Ben Affleck, an actor/director I like, has a new film out on Netflix. ANIMALS is yet another remake of Kurosawa’s HIGH & LOW, and it is dreadful. www.vulture.com/article/revi...

If I commented on everything I find upsetting about the entertainment industry these days I'd be no fun at all, but this, specifically, is fucking repulsive, and I want the people responsible for it to pay.

1. This has been incredibly obvious and incredibly disheartening to anybody who watches even *close* to as much TV as I do.
2. I sense the regression for directing might be ever worse.
3. That fact that, without a TCA press tour, TV executives have basically NO visible accountability is... bad.

There are so many people, so many, that love film and want to dedicate their whole lives to making films, in front of the camera, behind it, in editing suites and casting rooms and makeup trailers. And that these locusts can come in and just devour the industry, take it from us all, is devastating.

The crash is one of the most awful things I've seen. The loss of life was horrific. The victims should be alive. I also knew Nicole in undergrad. I don't think that person could ever consciously hurt anyone. I don't have answers, but I hope there's a way to prevent mental crises that lead to this.

It feels a little crazy that @thebroadmuseum.bsky.social has her Infinity Mirror Room Exhibit next to works by Basquiat and Kara Walker without mentioning this. Not to say her art shouldn’t be displayed, but a lot of Black people bought tickets to see that exhibit who might have thought twice.
This review I published when I was EIC by Dexter Thomas, was the article that made it clear that Kusama anti-Blackness permeated her work, and even more disturbing, the art market was trying to cover it up in all sorts of ways.
