Immortal life advice

Give this a listen. It's a really great appreciation of the film and one of many reasons I'm a paid subscriber to these folks. Great insight and genuine love for all kinds of genre films

The utterly gorgeous work of art we call DEEP COVER is one of the many reasons we sing Bojan Bazelli’s praises on @genrevision.com

Car Trouble Month concludes with the 4K restoration of an infamous flop that became a beloved family classic, SPEED RACER! The Wachowski sisters deliver a heartfelt adaptation of the iconic anime, lovingly updated to make its visual artistry even more stunning. genrevision.com/posts/speed-...

“We want to dictate what tools get built for artists” DICTATE? No. Horrible choice of words. You don’t get to dictate that. Go kick rocks.

An important announcement about this month's edition of More Currently Consuming also includes the potential beginning of the GenreVision Book Club! Watch the video (free for everyone!) to find out more.

You’ve Jóhannssoned your last Jóhann

Prequel apologists over the years have managed to conjure a better version of these movies in their heads, but they remain quite bad from a basic filmmaking level. There are bad movies that are still fun to watch, not these

Good news LGBTQs

the idea that *storyboards* are a cost-inefficient part of filmmaking does just seem bizarre on its face to me. you never hear of a movie going over budget by spending too much on storyboards

Every now and again, it's important to remind people that the scene from Batman Returns where Alfred delivers cold soup has its own trading card.

It’s true! DEEP WATER just doesn’t have the goods. Too bad.

Sure sex is great but have you ever had someone actually watch and enjoy a movie you recommend to them

Whether a movie is good or bad should be the beginning not the end of any conversation about it. It's also the least interesting question to ask about a movie.

earthshattering reveal in the new spider-man trailer: the mcu has rediscovered color grading

Watching Deep Blue Sea. One of my favorite examples of a movie that knows what it is & commits to being that. The shocks are foolproof. I love that they give the cook (LL Cool J) his own one-man survival story apart from the group. Sturdy structure. Every action sequence has its own mini-narrative.

Nighttime scenes in movies and TV shows should still be bright and crisp enough to be easily visible. It’s dark for the characters, not the viewer.

always complete this checklist before leaving the house

Forgot that Paul Zindel’s estate sued over similarities between THE SHAPE OF WATER and one of his plays, in which a cleaning lady at a laboratory discovers a super-smart dolphin being cruelly tested by scientists. She forms a bond with it and tries to sneak it out in a hamper. The parties settled.

As of May 19 2026, the TOGETHER plagiarism lawsuit has reached the point where the court is attempting to get the parties to settle at mediation. Normal stuff. The litigation still appears to be moving forward. Very curious to see where this goes.

I’ve been doing my part the whole time.

Still kind of baffled that they couldn’t come up with a better image to market the new Steven Spielberg summer blockbuster. Like, is this really the best y’all came up with?

CRASH (1996) Dir. by David Cronenberg

New month, new theme! It's a month of Car Trouble and we're kicking it off with a Stephen King vehicular double feature: CHRISTINE and MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE. One is a well-loved classic and the other is an infamous failure. Wait until you hear how we feel about them... genrevision.com/posts/christ...

This is the midboss The actual Bisexual Final Boss is just these two and you fight them together like Ornstein/Smough

Producers of Obsession (in their 40s making their 40th feature) had nearly 1 million but paid their early 20s crew min wage, no profit share or gas money & worked them to the bone. Some were volunteers. Should be a scandal but abuse is normal in indie film. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

Today’s a good reminder that sometimes you need an editor to tell you no

I really liked BACKROOMS! Very compelling stuff for me, especially when it's using its grand genre metaphors to tell the story. It does feel a little dramatically inert in dialogue scenes, though, which is a problem for a movie with these particular aspirations. But overall, I'm impressed.

I fucking love this scene. It's a gleaming gem in the crowns of Ernest Dickerson, Gary Busey, and Ice-T.

Alls I’m sayin is that going to the movies might cost you more than buying a 4K Blu-ray of a really good movie that you enjoy

If you think a movie deserves the full nuclear blast of your ire, maybe consider if the movie ever deserved your time in the first place. Perhaps we could have prevented this

If you want more Chiwetel Ejiofor wandering around mysterious liminal spaces, check out the audiobook for Susanna Clarke’s PIRANESI. I absolutely adore this book! #Backrooms

Possibly my favorite thing about physical books over all other types? Their very presence is a reminder of their existence, a reminder to read them, and a reminder to revisit their pages. All in a way that doesn’t require looking at a screen or risk the myriad of distractions from digital life.

Folks, I'm excited to say: I think movies and TV shows are actually trying to have good lighting again.

"Using the tech is more expensive than paying human employees" Well, there it is. These billionaires hate having employees with voices and opinions so much that they would rather pay more for mechanized labor.

people talked about the "monster of the week" xfiles like it was a bad thing. a monster! every single week! can you imagine!!

Everyone flipped for last week's episode, but "Lodging" and "What to Expect on Your Trip" are the season highlights at this point.

"I need AI art, otherwise I can't make my project." Randy Savage cut a promo with nothing but a coffee creamer he swiped from craft services. Stop making excuses and do better.

Don't buy that FIGHT CLUB 4K disc. It's too damn dark, and you can see in the comparison below that they've gone in and done beauty touch-ups to erase texture on actors' faces. Look at the cheeks and forehead. Source: caps-a-holic.com/c_list.php?c...

Very nice to see OBSESSION having its moment. It's a well-directed debut anchored by one incredible performance by Inde Navarrette. Curry Barker has a very tight control over the film's tone and visual language, but found myself wishing it felt a little more uncontrolled and wild.

andor rolling right into og star wars is like chernobyl being the prequel to pee wee’s big adventure

Never forget that Vin Diesel's thespian talents peaked with, "HAND SHARK!"
