Actually insane how bad Lee Cronin’s The Mummy is. Like reaching into a grab bag of terrible horror clichés (torture porn, exorcism fetishization, needless incest references for shock, terrible TERRIBLE acting, every split diopter shot on the lot, about 80 random children) and mixing with meanness

Not to get too into awards analysis because the art itself will always matter independent of it, but the tragic overlooking of THE TESTAMENT OF ANN LEE & Seyfried for any Oscar noms will be remembered as one of those "wow, they really missed the boat on this one." 📽️ www.inlander.com/screen/revie...

BAD BUNNY SAID YALL KNOW I’M CANADA DOWN

I KNOW THAT PLACE!!!!

Literally only time I wish I was American is while watching the garbage Canadian Super Bowl ads. Literally what is ManMade and why am I being forced to watch it

No it’s cool I didnt need to go outside actually

Hi we did this too but with 20 www.cbc.ca/news/enterta...

Internet Archive should be a government funded service

I have kind of kept this fact hidden because of what it says about me but I have never seen myself reflected as comprehensively in a character as Diane Keaton in Looking For Mr. Goodbar. Like that’s just me sadly

the irony of cutting so many critic roles? sure, every publication might have a review of a new show, but at least they are *different*. you can't say the same about silly celebrity news items that no one will ever return to.

It is not a critic's job to reflect your opinions back at you. I repeat: It is not a critic's job to reflect your opinions back at you.

Rental Family blew my socks off. It’s confusing and beautiful and odd and perfect. Brendan Fraser stop making me cry.

Everyone plug your ears at the part where I sing Sodapop

Why do "personal" and "culturally specific" animated movies often fail? Because executives are terrified of them and often micromanage them into bland irrelevance that's neither personal or mass-appeal. In this case, they accidentally let a voice through and got so scared they threw away billions.

I wonder if we’ll ever hear good news again

We can either have informed film critics who are beholden to no one or we can have influencers whose livelihoods depend on staying in the good graces of studios’ marketing departments. The moment to choose was yesterday, but we can still hold onto some small patch of grass.

If you care about film writing -- or you know ANY AND ALL OF HUMANITY -- please skip those summaries and go to actual websites

now that i’ve seen both Eddington and Weapons i feel we are absolutely moving toward a theory of shitpost cinema. the people yearn for gas leak narrative

covered The Siege as a potential five-star three-star movie, but discovered it's actually too good for that distinction (though still imperfect) great video essay about it here:

Post one of the most haunting shots in movie history from a film made before the year 2000

Very curious as to when pink cardigan and jay guapo’s tongues-out nose war with the fake-monk-bracelet-seller will hit the mainstream news cycle

Despite how bad it was, I don’t think anyone truly hates Megalopolis — or agrees with how insultingly, stupidly, disgustingly terrible it was — as much as me

I didn’t like Superman (the movie). But I also don’t like Superman (the character). So your mileage may vary, but a return to campy silliness is actually a bad thing to me — though the only way Superman (the character) “works” www.cbc.ca/news/enterta...

I say this as someone who loved Elio: the most important and pressing issue in world events right now is that someone at Pixar absolutely, direly needs to leak the Molina cut

I am once again asking you to please go watch Elio www.cbc.ca/news/enterta...

Yes I’m basic

We are getting low effort, lowest-common-denominator corporate sludge forever as animation and original storytelling will die. People make me legitimately so sad

Elio gang rise up

I say this with zero exaggeration: I would die for #Elio www.cbc.ca/news/enterta...

In between sneaking quick peeks at the peaks or spotting a trio of bears roaming the golf course – an on-the-nose metaphor for the market if there ever was one – the Banff World Media Festival offered a front-row seat to an industry on the knife’s edge. www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/film/ar...

#F1TheMovie used the hell out of Imax, but ignored everything else. The tropification of racing movies gets even weirder here in subverting the self-destruction/self-acceptance metaphor into fable about how if you’re not first, you actually are last. Now go watch Elio www.cbc.ca/news/enterta...

I cried three times during this fing movie

Not seen yet, but Elio having the most cursed release (delayed over a year), marketing (almost nonexistent) & wildly unsure demo (for tweens or 5 year olds?) make it feel like another Meet the Robinsons. A movie that was innovative & ruled, but was aimed at no one— leading to a (now beloved) failure

A24 reveals Celine Song’s references for ‘MATERIALISTS’ — including: • ‘Pride & Prejudice’ • ‘Atonement’ • ‘Emma’ • ‘Phantom Thread’

The more I learn about F1, the more excited I become that the plot for all intents and purposes seriously just appears to be Talladega Nights again. tv.apple.com/ca/movie/f1-...
