"I wish this Errol Morris movie had better fight choreography. I wish this Nicole Holofcener film had more inventive sound design. I wish this Guy Maddin film had more believable characters." Listen to yourself.

I haven’t seen THE ODYSSEY yet, but both Matt Damon and Christopher Nolan picked Carl Franklin’s ONE FALSE MOVE (which features a liner note essay by me!) in the Criterion Closet, which is pretty damn swell. m.youtube.com/shorts/ing6l...

We got multiple Enrons happening right now.

The thing you can do to counter this is to play a Disney or Taylor Swift song very loudly so that when the “evangelist” posts the video they be hit with a takedown order

It wouldn't solve all our problems but it would be a good start.

when the giant beast King Kong began to climb the Empire State Building, Mayor Mamdani had an idea

You're not 'creating' anything if you use AI at all. It's literally the opposite. It's either "I'm too stupid to learn" or "I'm too lazy to work" for the AI set. There's no creation and there's no creativity.

Funny enough, the Paw Patrol movie also has a subplot where a dog voiced by Lakeith Stanfield does some weird shit.

The story of the failure of the internet as a place for film discourse begins with guys blindly loving Christopher Nolan films before having actually watched them and ends with them hating Christopher Nolan films without having seen them.

People say stuff like ‘Bluesky’s not real life’ but nobody who uses this app regularly is getting diarrhea from lettuce

2.5-3 hour superhero films that require a shit ton of homework to watch are just not my ideas of fun.

Mamdani: “Come, mister tally man, tally these bananas. Because daylight’s coming in NYC and we all want to come home from the market with affordable fruit.” The NY Times headline: Critics Express Anger At Mamdani’s Banana Speech Due To Insufficient Support For Israel

The latest evidence that the 80s sucked and any nostalgia for it is misguided.

Surely the solution here is just *don't use AI tools* for your writing and research and continue to do your writing and research in ALL the ways you were doing it before you started using AI instead of doing the work??

For the most part, most name film directors bat around .500. Some are better than that average. Some are worse. Those who think otherwise have likely gotten their brains fried from too many years of Rotten Tomatoes, fanboy movie sites and Film Twitter.

Haley Stevens is a Patti Harrison character on I THINK YOU SHOULD LEAVE.

wow, in retrospect it's starting to look like maybe leftists gaslighting every woman who reported a negative experience with men who worked and/or volunteered for the 2016 Bernie Sanders campaign may have taught some of those men the wrong lesson, who could have possibly predicted--

Perhaps, this might be an underlying reason I’m personally dispassionate about today’s discourse regarding how much a film is supposed to be faithful to material from long before our time.
