Luis Ortega’s “Kill The Jockey”, Wild, Surreal Tragicomedy at Film Forum

Posted on by

kill-the-jockeyKill the Jockey, the latest film from Argentine director Luis Ortega, will make its U.S. theatrical premiere at Film Forum on Wednesday, July 2. The 2024 tragicomedy blends pathos, surrealism, and retro flair in a story of identity, reinvention, and personal collapse.

Set in the world of horse racing and underworld crime, the film follows Remo, a troubled jockey played by Nahuel Pérez Biscayart (BPM), who transforms—mysteriously and strikingly—into Dolores, a mink-draped woman with a new lease on life.

With a vibrant Latin pop and disco soundtrack and stylized visuals by cinematographer Timo Salminen, Kill the Jockey received critical acclaim at the Venice, Toronto, and San Sebastián film festivals. It was also Argentina’s submission for Best International Feature at the 97th Academy Awards.

A Music Box Films release, the film runs 96 minutes and will screen in Spanish with English subtitles.

Apple Unveils Liquid Glass Design and On-Device AI at WWDC25

Posted on by

At WWDC25, Apple introduced Liquid Glass, a translucent, fluid interface launching across iOS 26, macOS Tahoe, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS, and visionOS. Inspired by the spatial feel of visionOS, it dynamically responds to light, motion, and context—refracting backgrounds, reacting to content, and creating a more immersive, unified experience across all Apple devices.

The redesign extends to everything from lock screens and system menus to tab bars and sidebars, all while better aligning with the rounded edges of Apple’s latest hardware. A new yearly naming system also debuts, with all platforms now using the “26” suffix to reflect their 2025 release cycle.

Apple also announced real-time translation for Phone, FaceTime, and Messages, powered by on-device Apple Intelligence. Translations are spoken aloud and displayed as captions without sending data to the cloud. Developers can now integrate this functionality via a new translation API.

Other highlights include enhanced iPad multitasking with a new windowing system, customizable Mac desktops, a Workout Buddy app with voice coaching on Apple Watch, new Apple TV karaoke features, and shared spatial experiences in Vision Pro. Developer betas are available now, with public releases coming this fall.

The “Ice Cream Man” Summer Scoop: New Sickly Sweet Flavors Coming Soon

Posted on by

ice-cream-manThe delectable, 2025 Eisner Award nominated series by creators W. Maxwell Prince, Martín Morazzo, and Chris O’Halloran returns with a tasty tale of terror this July

Listen for the ear-worm jingle of the Ice Cream truck as it pulls up to the curb with a sickly sweet new Summer scoop…The darkly inventive, critically acclaimed comic book series by creators W. Maxwell Prince, Martín Morazzo, Chris O’Halloran, and Good Old Neon will return with a yummy new tale of terror, Ice Cream Man #44, in July and the Ice Cream Man, Vol. 11 trade paperback collected edition in September from Image Comics.

This tantalizing tale will center around a job performance review gone wrong. Additional upcoming issues of the anthology will feature a twisted Hitchcockian Rear Window homage, a completely creepy tale of cryogenic anti-aging chambers, and a series of vintage medical ads that downplay some pretty shocking side effects.

“Golly. I can’t believe we’ve been putting this book out for 7.5 years,” said Prince. “In comic time, I think that makes us officially geriatric. And so, speaking as a veritable sequential grandpa, I’ll tell you this: I still don’t quite understand how and why we have made it this far. I mean, I am so proud of the corpus of tales we’ve assembled; Ice Cream Man is the defining artistic project of my life. (And I think I can probably say the same for my co-creators).”
