I remember when this video dropped and people who’d never worked in any aspect of production went “He shouldn’t be celebrated for this, it’s the bare minimum!” I assure you, it’s not
It’s crazy how every single new Netflix series is their most viewed ever, yet somehow they keep losing money, subscribers, and stock value, and also they refuse to release their actual data
Do we have another

upon us? Martin Scorsese's "Killers of the Flower Moon" and Garth Davis' "Foe" will release on October 6.
The trailer for the latter dropped this morning — watch here:
Don’t normally like to make fun of Americans all that much but the “Fahrenheit is scaled to actual human experience” thing is ridiculous cope. No it’s not. You only think that because you’re used to it. That doesn’t make sense to anyone who hasn’t used it since birth
Biggest conspiracy I believe in is that DiCaprio’s relationships are all advertising campaigns for their modeling firms and he’s been quietly married to Tobey Maguire since 2017
Funniest concept in the world. Two equally abrasive men, one is among the leading scholars in his field, the other is a Twitch streamer who just found out about the topic six months ago. Watch them argue for six hours
Because Marvel editorial was willing to let Brian Michael Bendis get away with a lot of shit but drew the line at letting him name the first high profile Black Spider-Man “Miles Davis”
I think if you’re speculating about which director it was beyond “It was probably the one who’s well known for having done this exact thing before”, there’s something seriously wrong with you
I legitimately think it's cool how everybody involved in rap beef, from the artists to the fans, keep up the kayfabe of "Holy shit ____ is FINISHED he will NEVER RECOVER FROM THIS!" when the whole thing is just pro wrestling callouts and the publicity benefits everyone involved
It’s genuinely really great that Chevy Chase won’t be in the Community movie because the cast and crew hated him so much that they wrote him off by saying he jerked off to death off screen in between seasons
The Morbius end credit scene is something I think about on a regular basis because of how poetry made it is.
You could write an essay on everything wrong with this scene.
The new checkmark system is so funny. There’s a verified account called Studio Ghibli with close to a million followers and it is in no way affiliated with Studio Ghibli
This is of paramount importance for spreading the vastly under-reported case against Israel to the public but also I did not know Charles Dance was real like that
It’s time to see Rocket’s story. 🚀 Bradley Cooper reflects on his journey at the World Premiere of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.

Amy Pascal on workers for ‘ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE’ who felt demoralized about revising final renders 5 times — “If the story isn’t right, you have to keep going until it is.”
“I guess, Welcome to making a movie.”

It’s so funny how this bit is clearly written for people to boo at the opening, but they all laughed instead, and she just keeps going as if they had booed
Bob Iger says creators at Disney have lost sight of what their jobs should be, entertain first, not messages.
He adds that stories infused with “positive messages for the world” can be great but that it shouldn’t be the primary job.

One of my favourite parts of Game of Thrones is when Joffrey suggests that maybe they wouldn’t have bi-generational civil wars if they nationalized their military instead of relying on contract mercenary forces and Cersei does this to him
Scorsese does not portray Belfort as having even a single worthwhile quality. Given the opportunity to do so without consequence, I think he would kill him
Considering Beyond the Spider-Verse comes out less than a year after this, I have to assume this was the most backbreaking, exploitative, labour-violating production cycle in the last 40 years of American filmmaking
#AcrossTheSpiderVerse
has a reported runtime of 2 hours and 20 minutes, which would make it the longest-ever animated movie made at a Hollywood studio!
Here's how this compares to other

movie runtimes:
“Who keeps giving him money” He’s arguably the most consistently financially successful working filmmaker (barring ones who drop a film a decade like Cameron)
"Shocking Oscar snubs for ‘Barbie’s’ Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie just prove the movie’s point," writes The Times'

Remember when Peter Dinklage went off on the Snow White remake and people said he was doing it because Disney wouldn’t cast him in the prestigious role of Sleepy?
Brie Larson is maybe the best actor Marvel’s ever gotten to lead one of their movies and they have served her absolute dirt to work with four years in a row
I took an art class in high school where I consistently produced the shittiest work known to man, but I aced the course because I always attached a two paragraph descriptor explaining why it was supposed to look like shit
Andy Muschietti says some of the perceived weird VFX in ‘THE FLASH’ is intended.
“The idea, of course, is...we are in the perspective of the Flash. Everything is distorted in terms of lights and textures.”

Gwyneth Paltrow says "nepo baby" is an "ugly moniker": "There’s nothing wrong with doing or wanting to do what your parents do...Nobody rips on a kid who’s like, ‘I want to be a doctor like my dad and granddad.'”
Zack Snyder says "more people probably saw ‘Rebel Moon’ than saw ‘Barbie’ in the theater, right?”
"Say right now it's almost at 90 million views, right? 80 to 90 million accounts turned it on, give or take. [Netflix] assumes two viewers per screening. That’s like 160,000,000…
The entire Wake County Sheriff’s Office family is heartbroken after K9 Santos was shot & killed in the line of duty.
K9 Santos and his handler were called to assist Knightdale Police with a search for a suspect around 12:30 am. While tracking, K9 Santos was fatally wounded.
Twisting a masterpiece to add a financial incentive… disgusting. The original poster takes Elon out purely because it’s the right thing to do. You make me sick
Very funny to me that on a cultural level, “Keep your friends close but your enemies closer” has been sort of retroactively granted status as an ancient proverb, as opposed to being a line from The Godfather Part 2
1: He’s been severely indebted for decades, frankly feels kind of cruel to suggest the jobs he’s had to take to live should tarnish his legacy
2: He could put out a Dirty Grampa a week till he drops and it wouldn’t begin to counterbalance his best work
ok some of the stuff here like the weird bump on the supergirl S and batman not having bat ears makes me think some of this really was AI generated in some form or another. these are mistakes AI would make
What really kills me is the presence of the Tyrel building, suggesting the artist has in fact seen Blade Runner and still thought this was a fitting poster
One of the more quietly upsetting parts of contemporary pop culture is that every time a piece of art becomes popular a microphone is handed to a known rapist so that he can inform the audience that the art is, in fact, a work of fiction. Groans seem to be the intended response
Neil deGrasse Tyson critiques how thumpers & sandworms work in 'DUNE 2'.
"You can't thump sand, if you do this to sand *slams fist* nobody else is gonna hear it... they have the worm going straight fast, no that's not how physics work they gotta curl."

CODA aside, these are all varying degrees of good, but Parasite is really the odd man out in terms of quality. Exceptional film, none of the others are in the same league
You ever think about how weird it is that Plemmons is the only member of the cast who was really able to break out of the show into a larger film career?
Gen Xers when you tell them they haven’t in fact been hearing the phrase “Bucket List” all their lives, since it was coined for the 2007 movie of the same name starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman
