"Didn't the technofascists learn anything from Star Wars or Tolkien or other mass media" no because those are not parables and that is not how people learn how to be people. The chance of catching an antifascist subtext in mass-appeal fantasy is pretty low unless you've acquired those ideas already.

I would have never expected a Safdie bro movie to be lethargic but here we are! The Smashing Machine just never seems to get going. It also doesn't help that I do not understand the fascination that Hollywood has with wrestlers these days. If we have to get sport biopics, pick some other discipline!

Watching Franz, the newest film by Agnieszka Holland, made me think of Nora Ephron's Julie & Julia. While both movies are certainly interested in documenting the story of their main characters, they also explore the audience's relationship with their protagonists' works and much...

Caught the ending of Mission: Impossible - Fallout on TV and I just love these movies. I really need a younger movie star to become famous enough so that they decide they cannot live without putting their life at risk while shooting a dangerous stunt for a picture.

Look what has just appeared outside - a double rainbow! 🌈🌈

It ALWAYS comes back to Michael Eisner, doesn't it?

tier racist film. Have only seen clips of the latter but it’s eyewateringly racist (Jack Shaheen covers it in the documentary based on his book, Reel Bad Arabs: How Hollywood Villifies a People)

Also notable for having an OK-ish depiction of a Palestinian character for an American film released in the 70s (the bar is in hell, though) Which is ironic considering Friedkin was very anti-Arab (see: the opening scene of To Live and Die in LA) or Rules of Engagement (2000), a Birth of a Nation

Sorcerer ROCKS. A truly stupendous piece of action filmmaking whose influence feels so wide-spanning. From Fury Road to this year's Sirat, so many movies feel like they owe a lot to this one. Roy Scheide ris as excellent as ever, the vibe is bleak, everyone is sweaty and on a verge...

mayhem is reylo all the way down

Yorgos Lanthimos Figures He 3 Films Away From Hanging With Emma Stone Outside Work https://theonion.com/yorgos-lanthimos-figures-he-3-films-away-from-hanging-with-emma-stone-outside-work/

still thinking about this article today. so many societal ills are caused by people white-washing what actually happens. it's awful to see games do it too. can't wait for cozy domestic violence simulator or cozy kkk simulator

This is like one of those Alan Wake II stages where Alan can change the scenery by writing on his typewriter, but accidental and bad. Also, "UptOOwn".

Before you, you see two doors. One door says that games are art and should cost $100. Another says games are not art and should cost $20. Choose wisely and you will be crowned the “Lester Bangs” of games. Choose poorly, and every gamer dies. Solve for x.

I loved Velvet Goldmine. Loosely inspired by David Bowie's relationship with Iggy Pop and Lou Reed, it recounts the early 70's rock scene in a wonderfully dream-like and visually inspired way. Ewan McGregor does a fantastic rendition of Gimme Danger, so what more can anyone ask for?

Me being a fan of yet another creative work that turns out to be EXTREMELY controversial in its respective fandom:

Heres @hankgreen.bsky.social explaining more about the election I’m spamming everyone about — Find your precinct: mvp.sos.ga.gov/s/ (x for video: www.instagram.com/reel/DQIPIrH...)

I've just seen the face of the silver Daft Punk guy for the first time and it's honestly shocking how... normal he looks. Those helmets used to be such a source of mystique and the fact that he's now appearing in public without it feels like a bit of a desecration.

PUSH!

Also, seeing Adam Driver be game to play Ben Solo again and liking the character so much that he has got Soderbergh on-board on pitching his biggest movie since probably the Ocean's trilogy is VERY pleasing to me.

*wakes up* *sees his feed* Huh. Glad to see Iger continues to work overtime to be my no. 1 Hollywood nemesis.

I have FINALLY finished the Odyssey and I must say, that its ending is low-key the funniest thing ever? In the final chapter the families of the suitors Odysseus has just murdered band together to enact revenge. Odysseus, his son, father and servants prepare for a battle. Athena orders Laertes...,

Personally I think she's doing a great job

With so many movies on my watchlist leaving the Criterion Channel by the end of the month, I am doing my best to watch all of them. The next one on my list was Alex Proyas's The Crow and I can totally see why it is considered to be a cult classic. The movie is SO early 90's in so many good ways...,

Man, Altered States has the juice! What I originally thought would be kind of a riff on The Fly (I know it was made before Cronenberg's version, but you get the idea), turned out to be much weirder and more profound than I originally anticipated, blending in body horror with elements of 2001:...

On one hand, recent statements by Leo give me hope that the right will continue to be driven away from mainstream Catholicism, as it was during Francis's pontificate. On the other, a political right that is divorced from religion (as seen in people like Musk) may be even worse.
