Daisy Ridley 🫡🫡🫡🫡

This is exactly why I honestly deflated a little bit when they abruptly genderswapped the protagonist. Absolutely nothing wrong with doing that, but I fear that in doing so, they inadvertently made themselves an even bigger target for the worst parts of the so-called animation fandom.

“Wow Hexed is exactly like The Owl Hou-”

Mark Ruffalo, Glenn Close, Ben Stiller, Jane Fonda, John Cusack, Kristen Stewart, JJ Abrams, Katie Phang, John Leguizamo, and over a thousand actors, writers, directors, journalists, producers, composers, and Hollywood executives have signed a letter against the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger: 🧵

Happy Birthday, Daisy Ridley! I often think about how I’ll probably cry my eyes out whenever we get our first look at Rey in her upcoming #StarWars movie. I hope we get an official update about how things are going soon. There are extraordinary opportunities for this movie!

I’ve been thinking about this more often lately. 🧵incoming.

“It's one thing for other people to see potential in you, and it's quite another for you to understand that and see it in yourself.” Happy 34th, Daisy!!!

Reminder: don’t fall into doomerism, no matter what happens, let’s not degrade ourselves into panic, sadness, or anger, because constant scrolling can rot and bring out the worst in us. Mental health matters too. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

We got some heartbreaking news. Gary Goldman, known for being Don Bluth's animation partner, is suffering from dementia. His wife Cathy needs all the financial help she can get to take care of him. If you'd like to help out, there's a GoFundMe where you can donate. www.gofundme.com/f/support-ga...

no, this is the most you’ve hated america in your life so far

If you want to give Brie Larson a final galactic Hail Mary, then put her in the New Jedi Order movie STAT!!!!

I am not going to deny that the Marvel Cinematic Universe has made good films, but their influence on how they indirectly warped big studio executives minds into thinking every movie franchise needs to have an ambitious cinematic universe has done irreversible damage to the industry.

Interesting how "it's just a kids' movie, get off your high horse!" comes back to defend the new Mario movie, but is never used for movies like Spirited Away, WALL-E, KPop Demon Hunters, The Princess Bride, The Wizard of Oz, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Babe, The Iron Giant...

"Of course critics would hate the Mario movies, they're aimed at young kids and have no story, it's not FOR critics" Both Shaun the Sheep movie adaptations got glowing praise from critics across the board. Critics love animation. It's when the film beneath it feels shallow that they dislike it.

There's no film this decade that really has been more helpful and healing to me than Soul. It came out at the absolute right time I needed it and it just gets stronger on every watch. It showed me life is truly worth living and a beautiful thing and it's something I need to hear.

Does Star Wars count?

This was already bad enough, but I swear to God, if Daisy Ridley does something Harry Potter related, I’m gonna scream.

So when he bragged about grabbing women by the pussy, you were cool with that? When he made fun of a handicapped reporter, you were cool with that? When he had a mob attack the capital to steal the election, you were cool with that? But now gas is expensive so you regret your vote? Yeah?

My Mount Rushmore of film scores.

It's actually very bold that he'd show face for this segment

Eid Mubarak and Free Palestine.

The real choice is fundamental: Capitalism leads to war, repression, and social inequality. or Socialism is the working class taking political power and reorganizing society around human need rather than profit.

She seems to have taken lessons from Shelley Duvall (may she rest in peace).

Here's my big new story on Pixar's “reluctant leader” Pete Docter and the radical changes he’s making to get the “Toy Story” studio back on track. And I've got lots of exclusive details, including about 2 unannounced films. 🧵 www.wsj.com/business/med...

This whole article is really worth the read beyond the surface-level details these news accounts will spew out of context. It's a pretty honest, balanced look at where Pixar is currently at and how it's been trying to navigate the current state of Hollywood.

No matter what kind of movie you're making or story you're telling, it should always be an honest one. It's something that I think is important for any film you'll make. You should never lie and be dishonest with your audience otherwise you're not really being a good storyteller.

In a just world, We Bury the Dead and 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple would be box office while Scream 7 crashes and burns at the box office as it rightfully deserves.

Considering how the world is on fire right now, the real clowns are those who spend more time talking about media and people that they hate than those who actually likes stuff that can be generally looked down upon like Fixed or Lightyear.

Twitter has become such an unbearable cynical circus where you can get called out and attacked on by a whole group just for unironically enjoying something and openly expressing your happiness.

Y’all hate Timothée Chalamet over his comment saying he doesn’t about ballet and opera. I hate Timothée Chalamet for making a tasteless Hamas joke in SNL and not apologizing for said joke two years into the Palestinian genocide + being besties with Josh Safdie and Shia Labeof

This administration is committing Watergate level crimes multiple times per week—and those are the ones we know about. It’s crazy to think about what else will come out after. It’s absolutely essential these criminals are held responsible for their crimes. We must end elite impunity.

Studio heads should seriously learn that, if they're going to answer a question that's related to serious real-world topics, they should either be fully straightforward about their views on it, or not say anything because that middleground response that could make everyone happy doesn't exist.

In a complete meltdown after being caught creeping on Melonie Mac (despite being married) the Quartering goes on an unhinged rant about how he wasn't being a sexpest because her breasts are too small. The Divorcening is coming

That would be an understatement.

Don't forget about the martyrs of Gaza. Every single Palestinian life lost and taken away by Israel and America was one meaningful to friends, family, and loved ones. An entire world lies within each child and person. They all make up a universe part of the grander scale and design of this world.

Rewatched Sinners last night and the one thought that crossed my mind is that it's evident that Ryan Coogler was excited to move from one studio machine to another that gave him freedom. And it only became his way of rebelling against a system that would have bled him dry otherwise.

shockingly people are capable of simultaneously, 1. Hating their government 2. Hating the people who bomb and sanction their country, making regular life impossible and murdering members of their family, even more

Multi layered, thoughtful, reported piece that gets into demographic, disparities in crowdfunding campaigns, as well as the public misconception that every famous person is rolling in money.

To David Zaslav, to Ted Sarandos, to David Ellison, to Larry Ellison, to Donald Trump and his administration and the entire Republican Party.

“Oh, Neptune…”

We need to stop the myth that the cartoon comminuty in general has respect for indie animators. They get treated even worse than the ones from mainstream studios because the latter has the company they work at as a shield so that all the vicious rage go towards that instead.

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is
