Celebrating TAXI DRIVER at 50 ⬇️⬇️⬇️ cinephiliabeyond.org/approaching-...

Yes, he was amazing — loved his work on the Conan films, Robocop, Starship Troopers, The Hunt For Red October etc so I was thrilled to collaborate with him. We recorded the score in Seattle at the Bastyr University Chapel, which has fantastic acoustics.

“We finally really did it. You maniacs! You blew it up! Ah, damn you! God damn you all to hell!” Franklin J. Schaffner's ‘Planet of the Apes’ premiered in New York City's Capitol Theatre 58 years ago today. Read on: cinephiliabeyond.org/planet-of-th...

I rewatched MISSING when it screened in LA last year and I think that's a film people should revisit now.

Time had to limit the comments on the two videos released so far to their channel subscribers because everyone was ripping these videos apart and calling Darren Aronofsky a hack. It's not even putting up viewing numbers for what they paid. I'll be surprised if this series is taken to completion.

Robert De Niro’s copy of the Taxi Driver script includes his handwritten notes and provides insight into how he constructed his performance and how improvisation is incorporated into the filmmaking process. ⬇️⬇️⬇️ cinephiliabeyond.org/approaching-...

In-depth look is an understatement! Photos, DeNiro’s marked-up script, lots of video commentary & interviews, even more photos, and a masterful essay by Tim Pelan. Like what you see? Donate a few bucks to this incredible non-profit group so they can continue their work.

One of the producers of DIRTY GRANDPA wants poor people executed.

Also, any film director trying to legitimize AI should look at how badly Darren Aronofsky flushed his reputation down into the toilet this past week for a series on YouTube that's getting numbers along the lines of video essays I've made that had a lot less promotion.

Crush them all like cockroaches. #FuckAI

In Minneapolis, people are literally singing resistance before marching to the hotels where ICE agents are staying—inviting them to defect and join us in solidarity. It’s an action rooted in compassion, courage, and collective humanity. Transforming fear into shared power.

Finally some good news. What follows is the shutdown of X and X.AI Corp. on the territory of the entire European Union.

There is something magical about watching and analyzing films you don't like. Reading bad scripts can also be a priceless experience.

Watching a film for class used to be a dream assignment. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

On BBC2 now, The Man Who Would Be King. My piece on it below 👇 cinephiliabeyond.org/empires-end-...

“How depressing is it[…]this thing, a pair of shoddy, TikTok-length clips that would barely pass muster as animated illustrations for a high-school history lesson, let alone coherent pieces of storytelling[…] was the best anyone could make of the supposedly boundless limitations of AI?”

Fresh photos show Brett Ratner alongside Epstein and the redacted victims. Fuck him and everyone who supports him.

My brief review of MELANIA (2026)

The return of Brett Ratner is comparable to rape. Attempt to rape the audience. That cannot go well. We hope people have the same reaction to RUSH HOUR 4.

Melania’s first screening in Times Square draws four people, at least three of them professional critics. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

Never thought I’d see an anti-fascist car ad.

“Ratner’s film plays like a gilded trash remake of THE ZONE OF INTEREST in which a button-eyed Cinderella points at gold baubles and designer dresses, cunningly distracting us while her husband and his cronies prepare to dismantle the Constitution and asset-strip the federal government.”

I become a little bit more incensed every time I see the MGM Studios logo with the slogan "Art for Art's Sake" now that it's a subsidiary of Amazon.

Here’s the thing about THE WEIGHT. It’s a movie I feel like I could confidently recommend to *anyone*. Old, young, smart, dumb, indifferent, snobby or vulgarian. It’s sort of a miracle — a great survival thriller but so, so much more. www.vulture.com/article/the-...
