A romcom should not have a budget of $130M, period. I don't care if this is a hot take or not, that number is absurd.
For perspective, that's $30M more expensive than 1917. That's $35M away from DUNE and $55M away from BLADE RUNNER 2049. I need to know where this money is going.
Scarlett Johansson, Penélope Cruz, Owen Wilson and Michael Fassbender to star in Nancy Meyer’s upcoming romcom for Netflix, which will reportedly have a budget of $130M.

I think the coolest part in a Christopher Nolan movie is when you feel that ending coming. The way his films are edited, they tend to end in such a riveting montage way. You can sense that crescendo immediately, when it’s about to be closing curtain. It’s beautiful every time.

Imagine if Nolan took the writing/editing urgency of The Social Network and fused it with a beautiful but harsh invasion of visuals a la Terrence Malick. The result is OPPENHEIMER. Holy fucking shit, it is a thunderous epic about politics, loss of empathy, and impending doom.

I'm sorry but calling 1917 "that one shot gimmick war movie" is like calling THE SHAPE OF WATER "that movie where a woman fucks a fish."
Both are *excessive* oversimplifications and dismissals that ignore both films' stories, thematic ideas, performances, and directing talents.

James Cameron now has not two but THREE of the best sequels ever made. AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER is incredible. The effects and action is, yes, breathtaking. But it is the story this time that’s the beating heart. It’s more personal, complicated, emotional. Wow, it really soars.

OPPENHEIMER is so many things. A damning examination of politics and how it strips away empathy and truth. A portrait of a brilliant man wrestling with his own guilt and fear. A cautionary tale of human civilization reaching a point of no return. Christopher Nolan at his best.

Up is, without hesitation, my favorite Pixar film. I cry harder and harder each time I watch it, probably because I get older and thus more understanding of the film's themes. I usually don't lose it in the opening montage - it's the pictures and the wife's message that gets me.

We’ve seen films that say “pursue your dreams and passion” countless times. It’s a rare gift to see a film like The Fabelmans acknowledge how that pursuit would inevitably force you to neglect other important things in your life, that it’s a choice you will forever wrestle with.

It's so funny for me to see how films like After Yang, Turning Red, and Everything Everywhere All At Once feel more authentic (for me) than a film like Crazy Rich Asians, and it's only been 4 years since that came out. Really goes to show how many more stories and voices we need.

It also proves great writing is not always dialogue, but how the characters’ actions are written.
