The film industry has a habit of cannibalizing its great artists. This has been the case since its inception, sadly, and capitalist industry practices have allowed it to take root. The Soviet system was far better for allowing artists to create what they wanted. Here's George Lucas on the subject:

How much do you wanna bet that they pulled a Discord on April Fools’ and counted the trailer playing as advertisements in the background as a view? Just some food for thought…

fun reminder: the reason why they make these fucking pointless "live action" remakes is because since it's "live action", the animation is considered "vfx" and not character animation, so they can pay these non-unionized satellite studios fuck-all and make a cool few million for essentially nothing

The costume department must've chopped the handle off of the first mop they found, handed it to Dwayne Johnson,, and said, "That's your wig!" And I thought Zoe Kravitz's Catwoman mask in The Batman was a bad piece of headwear...

I can’t even pretend to be kind here. I can’t even sarcastically joke that I’m glad that Seltzer and Freeburg are getting work again. Shut it down.

Were you not also complicit in allowing the public option to be removed from your healthcare bill? Gee, wonder how many lives THAT could’ve saved…

That IS one thing this app gets right. Now if they could stop silencing Palestinian accounts, that’d be great…

Decided to rewatch Batman Begins during my morning workout...probably hadn't seen it in over a decade. I forgot how absolutely beautiful Cillian Murphy is in that movie. Actually gasped when he showed up.

RIP Valerie Perrine.

no and fuck you for asking

Love how there’s always that ONE KID who has to be a little sh*thead and cross the street before being directed to safely do so. If Crossing Guard Joe faces a lawsuit and blame for that, someone better hire him a good lawyer

I'm not gonna say this to the guy in person, but: The fact that Reagan did not personally fuck over *your* entire generation probably has more to do with your willingness to cut him some slack than you think it does.

FINALLY someone on this platform willing to acknowledge TLJ's problems, THANK YOU

The style of “cinematography” the MCU has utilized is the apotheosis of corporate agendas for movie production. They’re a blight on the moviegoer’s eye. They’ve aged just as badly as the one-liners, quips, and pro-tech bro messaging of the MCU have. Their shills dig a deeper grave when defending it.

50 years ago today, on March 22, 1976, the first day of filming began in Tunisia on the original Star Wars. This image of @markhamillofficial.bsky.social was the first "behind the scenes" photo taken during film production.

Timothy Dalton, the fourth James Bond actor, celebrates his 80th birthday. He was the Bond who understood the assignment most clearly. www.mi6-hq.com/sections/art...

Watching All the President's Men feels like watching porn about when major outlet journalists were still allowed to have integrity and presidents feared consequences from wrongdoing

Happy 68th Birthday to the great Gary Oldman 🎂 First time I saw him was in '86 in Sid and Nancy, then '87 Prick Up Your Ears. I knew then he'd be a force to be reckoned with.

So, we learned today that instead of actually trying to improve any of the problems with modern Minecraft, with the game or "movie" series... they're doing a sequel game to Minecraft Dungeons. (SIGH)

Joseph Kosinski (or someone with his talent) should have directed the Minecraft movie and Jared Hess should have directed immature teenagers willing to disrupt the screenings for mandatory community service.

Incredibly funny that the president of the United States can do this and retain command of the American Armed Forces, but I said it about a literal Nazi and got fired from a job writing superhero comics.

Robert Mueller was a virulent right-wing Islamophobe whose FBI was a critical part of the Global War On Terror's architecture of persecution - and when it came to legally preventing the rise of actual fascism, he choked. Rest in piss.

I lowkey find myself a bit displeased that the video essays that netted me the community I have online right now are filled with so much snark and general unpleasantness.

THIS is how you take Bond more seriously without descending into arbitrary melodrama *gives a side eye to the later Craig movies

👏👏👏 Well done, mate!

God, I miss 20th Century Fox…

Here’s mine… A series based on @mojangstudio.bsky.social and @telltalegames.bsky.social created by @wazzyworks.bsky.social

Gotta love how a film that aimed to slyly critique the post 9/11, Islamophobic culture and mentality for which the US military-industrial-surveillance complex subscribed itself to, including homophobia and capitalism that resulted in a tragic end, was ultimately deemed homophobic and Islamophobic…

And people make Snyder their punching bag, not Warner Bros….

I also saw someone try to make the argument that Superman should have choked Zod to unconsciousness, and tried to imprison him in the Scout Ship instead of killing him. Putting aside the fact that Scout Ships were not military grade ships (they came to earth on hypersleep, not Phantom Drives) /1

And the third one, too.

That hefty of a price when only 3/5s of the seasons are actually good, with one mediocre (S5) and one terrible (S3), huh? Netflix knows they’ve got ST fans in their palm with the increasing demand for physical media…

Better than most of Craig’s tenure, for sure. Same goes for License to Kill.

This is a huge win for physical media: the complete STRANGER THINGS in 4K, Dolby Vision, and a tonne of extras, coming from @arrowvideo.bsky.social in July! Shame it doesn't come with a couple of novels, eh? www.arrowfilms.com/p/4k/strange...

But how about the possibility of ANY way to save your loved one, especially when you’ve got a void you need to fill left behind by your mother’s loss, a loss exacerbated by the Jedi who practice the light side of the force? Not that I agree with Sheev, but would you call THAT terrible marketing?

What's similarly funny is how after years of using them as ammunition in their war against the prequels, a good number of people got upset when RLM hated The Force Awakens. A true reaping-and-sowing moment

This had me in stitches

There’ll be No Time To Dune like that Another Day, for it’ll a Tomorrow that Never Dies in a World which Is Not Enough.

Not even gonna take the bait. That won't be "AI" Val Kilmer, that'll be some poor puffy dude with lights on his face, like Tarkin in Rogue One. Or the stolen work of a stock footage model, like two stunt men who did all the work for that Cruise vs. Pity slop.

Then that means, with all due respect, Kilmer’s daughter is an AI wh***.

Zack Snyder's Justice League came out 5 years ago. This film is special. It is epic, grand, stunning, and nothing like it exists in the superhero movie world. It's a film that goes for it, because it got the chance to. I still haven't really seen it since, but it is special to me. #FilmSky #MovieSky

Maturing is realizing that Doug Walker, Lindsay Ellis, Bob Chipman, and Jonathan McIntosh are relative equals to one another when it comes to how they speak about filmmakers.

Still cracks me up from time to time how unhinged critics were to Zack Snyder, going as far as to deny all the receipts he and others sent out of the Snyder Cut’s (albeit with incomplete VFX) existence… only for it to have released five years ago.

Share a green character for 🍀 or else the rest of the year you'll have terrible luck. I’m late to this party I know but… Happy Snyder Cut anniversary to all who celebrate

No kidding
