I've been checking in on the #sofiathefirst tumblr fans since Royal Magic came out and it reminded me that I put a shout-out to one of the biggest OG tumblr fans in the StF series finale song, A Big Day. I could only fit in half their handle bc of the rhythm but it's the thought that counts! 💜

On the noise around Backrooms and Obsession.

This is the kind of box-office performance we so rarely see nowadays and it's remarkable to see "Obsession" doing it almost entirely from word-of-mouth. It's the "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" of horror movies.

And its still not even in 3000 theaters. I wonder if that is a factor in the insane increases, lot od demand and not as much supply as other movies, relatively.

Now the highest grossing Focus movie domestically. RIP Downton Abbey.

Insane that something like this could reach that number. ("This" being an a24 horror movie and based on an internet thing)

Great example of what I mean when I say people sugar coat the past based on either forgetting the bad stuff or romanticizing the shit out of it because of nostalgia. 😂

Are people forgetting the two biggest movies of the year are a Mario movie and a Michael Jackson movie? It’s never “two things can be true at the same time” when it comes to what audiences ACTUALLY go see at the theater?

New "Mr. Coat" episode, on the history of Rogue Pictures, the genre label that has jumped through multiple owners and released cult movies directed by the likes of Trey Parker and Edgar Wright: www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPtB...

To be clear this is not his statement, he is simply reposting it. I'm assuming it's because he agrees with its contents though, so, it's not too different, but I wanted to make sure we all know

"whatever, everyone already uses it anyway so it's fine" is just not really the message a sorry person promotes. I'm frustrated by how everyone just gave him the benefit of the doubt. I'm not feeling very forgiving when this is the messaging. I don't think I'm being unreasonable either

I wonder if all of the "Captain Planet" clips in "Short Cuts" is what inspired Ted Turner to buy New Line. letterboxd.com/mrcoat/film/...

BREAKING: The Llama Lords of Science has withdrawn from the Freedom 250 Celebration

Day 5: Two days until the deadline, and we're almost halfway at $315/700. Please help if you can!

The next time a director says bullshit like this, I want the interviewer to ask: "If AI was around when you made your other films, which artists would you have fired?" I mean it. Name real fucking names. Of all the brilliant people you worked with, who do you think doesn't deserve a job anymore?

Immediately recognised the castle the main characters fly to in the third act as the same one (Casa Loma) where Scott Pilgrim fights Lucas Lee in "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World." letterboxd.com/mrcoat/film/...

BACKROOMS (2026)

Huh, Nick acknowledged Lil Bill, the show they want to hide so much that they edited old schedules.

Because I feel like promoting Rock Paper Scissors: youtu.be/axYogQCjGyc?... youtu.be/OKy0FM17yIQ?... youtu.be/SfQluo9VmNU?... youtu.be/D-hCmQE7xMo?...

Marcia Lucas IS the reason why the original Star Wars worked so well. If you've ever wondered why the prequels don't measure up, a big reason is because they didn't have Marcia. RIP.

At a certain point straight male insecurity overwhelms it's ability to be performative and it ends up sounding gayer than a man train

If you wanna hear some of the songs from #sofiathefirstroyalmagic that haven't appeared in the show yet (and some that have), the soundtrack just came out and is available for streaming (or purchase) in most of the places you would do that online! You may even hear some Disney Princesses sing! 💜👑✨🎵🔥

Film Twitter will rag on certain movies for supposedly not being talked about and going all "no cultural relevance it sucks lol" but when something is talked about a lot, they whine about it. It's dumb.

Backsession

Day 4: Still at $15/700. Please help out if you can.

I was a Voice Actor in an Animated Series (Amos: The Mask Hunter) youtu.be/JsxA6cu6gok

Netflix Animation Studios production workers have ratified their first union contract with The Animation Guild. The deal includes wage minimums, dismissal pay, workplace protections, and higher pay for Production Assistants.

He is such a fucking feckless centrist. "You should just tolerate people who want you dead, that's how the world works!"

Del Toro having a polite conversation with Jorge Gutierrez about his punky duck cartoon

"What is the mind?-Bart Simpsons 1987

New video! 🚨 The Tracey Ullman shorts are the weird forgotten era of The Simpsons. The show loves to make fun of them and they've never been officially released. And, somewhat embarrassingly, I have never seen them before. So let's fix that and take a look at them! 👀 youtu.be/ATrRFz7js0Y?...

with respect, 2025 was a great year for horror. so was 2024. most years are. it's not a "revival."

Jorge R. Gutierrez has announced he is dropping out of Amazon’s AI program and will no longer be making the animated series Punky Duck. “I promise to do better moving forward. Thank you for your patience with me.”

Looking at the Disney movie "Holes" and why its clever storytelling makes it one of the studio's best live-action films: www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDqg...

Tomorrow!

nikki looks oddly unhappy about this while grogu seems content.

I am in this at some point! You weren't doing anything else today, were you? www.youtube.com/watch?v=klBh...

Next week, stuff coming to streaming places strawpoll.com/7rnzV2E0xnO

I AM FRANKELDA (2025) - Official Trailer Streaming: June 12, 2026 Netflix #IAmFrankelda whentostream.com/netflix-rele...

Jorge Gutierrez says he’s being cautious and that his AI-powered show for Amazon is a “big experiment” and “artists driving tech and not the other way around”. Meanwhile Buzzfeed outright stole a character for their show for the initiative. To make a theft of my own: Hollywood.

‘The Good Advice Cupcake’ creator Loryn Brantz says she is “horrified and disgusted” after BuzzFeed allegedly gave her character to an AI platform without her involvement. She also called for a boycott of BuzzFeed and AI-produced animation.

Andrew Stanton and McKenna Harris say they gave Woody a bald spot in ‘TOY STORY 5’ to show how much he's aged whilst travelling. “The story team is made up largely of young folks who have grown up with these same movies.”
