This is a good, good movie. Why it wasn't screened for the press is beyond me. www.rogerebert.com/reviews/in-t...

Zorro is kind of the perfect vehicle for romance and adventure which is a type of film that rarely gets made anymore and that people very much want. I love me some gritty violence, probably more than most, but this is a really weird and frankly stupid direction to take it.

Feels crazy to say, but Tony Leung and I sat down in a room last week and had a lovely conversation. You can read it here: joysauce.com/tony-leung-o...

I'm gonna be talking Joe Taslim nonstop, but I am also really stoked that Brian Le seems to have a much bigger part than I originally anticipated. Really excited to see him get the spotlight. Dude is a brute but can MOVE.

Someone on here said this already, but I’m totally on board with Jet Li being the internet’s dad.

Listen to my music! It's free on your service of choice! Or even free to listen to on Bandcamp if you don't subscribe to one of these nightmare companies' streaming services

Jet Li’s fit here is legit amazing. How do you look formal and classy, yet extremely comfortable all at once?

Joe Taslim doesn't even need a weapon.

I didn't care for Mortal Kombat II, which sucks because I like pretty much everyone involved.

Fuck off forever with this “why can’t I just configure the creative work of others to meet my specifications?” bullshit. Sorry but part of engaging with the creative work of others has to be engaging with the choices they made. Feel free to critique them but art is not your Starbucks drink order.

Despite once again falling back on "refusing the call" nonsense, The Punisher: One Last Kill made me incredibly happy.

FYI trans Americans with a Canadian ancestor can apply for expedited processing on their applications for Canadian citizenship!

Cops doing the most cop-ass thing by suing fictional cops because the fictional cops were too true to life making their cop-ass selves look like cops.

Lord of the rings is such a funny fuckin example to use. I'm sure a series that had maintained its popularity and relevance for almost a century is right about to stop being popular cause the movies are too old.

Ten years ago this month the greatest movie ever made was released.

Folks, it's been a shithouse week for a lot of us. Here, have this. Go sink a beer or hug a friend or pet your cat or whatever. I don't care what you do. But I care about you.

I'm really bothered that what happened to Brandon keeps getting lost in the "haha dudes got catfished" gloating. "Dalia" tried to cause very real personal and professional harm to someone. That's not fucking funny. And a bunch of people were real fucking happy to go with it and are now just

I really love this Planet of the Apes piece I made a couple years back #crossstitch

Hell yes!!!

So here's an update: Matthew contacted me late last night and informed me that he reached his fundraising goal. Thank you to every single one of you for your kindness and generosity. You're all the best!

Hey friends, @wheelscritic.bsky.social needs our help. Matt is one of the most generous human beings constantly sharing his knowledge, giving people access, championing film, lifting others up who do the same. Personally he has shown me so much kindness. Please share and help if you're able.

Samurai Jack...

I am going to be so annoying about how awesome Joe Taslim is when The Furious drops and I am sorry.

I haven't seen Barbarian or Weapons. But listening to Cregger talk about the the RE games and how they influenced his movie makes me think this guy really understands adapting from the medium of video games. And everyone saying it looks nothing like the games doesn't know what they actually want.

Matthew is seriously one of the best people I know. Help if you can.

Just now seeing this. Matt has been a great friend to many of us here at A4E. Please help and/or share if you can.

Fuck genAI/LLMs forever and always but why is drunk writing catching strays?

Paying it forward, folks. Give what you can or share the link. Help out a cool dude. gofund.me/758f07d2c

Matt is a good dude and could use a hand if you are in a position to help!

I am reminded time and again that a lot of internet socialists forget that to be effective at socialism you have to talk to and understand people at your workplace

letting myself be a little corny because this was the dopamine hit I needed today (i.e. Kenji Tanigaki sharing one of my letterboxd reviews of The Furious - plus about a thousand others, but STILL)

Super upsetting that the community is so dead on Halo Infinite I can't find a rumble pit match.

A "Capcom-Kart" racing game is something I'm going to be thinking about for a long time now.

More video games should have spin-offs where their characters race go-karts

Thanks to @qualbert.com for the great write-up on Acting Out! Link in thread:

basically the right-wing program, which A LOT of Very Sensible LIberals are absolutely going to fall for (and their total and utter debasement on trans issues is why I will never trust this crowd), is to systematically eliminate any possibility that a child or young person might not conform.

Dust Bunny feels like the kind of 90s stylish exaggerated fantasy movie we forgot how to make.

repost if you're blocked by Why

Dust Bunny is very good. The kind of film that reminds you that this is a magical visual medium that lends itself to imagination. All housed in the conventions of genre. In awe of it honestly.

Max is a great writer and you should be reading his stuff.
