ppl have pointed out that Pitt got Kosinski and Kruger to package him as a Maverick-lite avatar of dad rock authenticity and recap the plot of Top Gun beat-by-beat but this also elides the line between logistical triumph and recruitment ad, for F1 instead of the Navy.

F1: The Movie makes a really good double feature with the summer’s other synergistic sports blockbuster: The FIFA Club World Cup:.

nothing in Materialists is nearly as “Brechtian” an embodiment of spiritual vacancy under late capitalism as Kerry Condon having to play her last romantic scene in F1 the movie in a dry-fit polo emblazoned with 9 different corporate logos.

tightening restrictions on a vice to which people have become accustomed requires an expenditure of political capital out of the reach of even many authoritarian regimes, which is a shame as 40-60% of what's unhealthy about American society is downstream from gambling apps.

his wikipedia filmography lists 8 features for 2024, only 2 of which have pages, but there's something apt about him sleepwalking through material beneath him: he had a sort of roiling detachment, or soulful sleaze, that some great directors recognized. terrific in BOARDING GATE.

will miss Diogo Jota's team spirit, surprising aerial prowess, and clutch improvised finishes in the tensest moments — he was the author of a romantic career, now cut short. a horrible loss, r.i.p. to the lad from Portugal

it's true, and you're hearing it more and more: boys love talking about who was president when a movie came out.
Lots of people tweeting about "Biden-era cinema," part two of the series I'm writing with Brendan on this very thing should be out soon, here's part one to catch up

some real good questions here, and a director who seems to relish the opportunity to answer them.
I spoke with Ari Aster about how screwed we all are, and other topics related to EDDINGTON, his immense and diabolical Western of modern American psychosis. So grateful to @letterboxd for trusting me with this one; a wide-ranging conversation for a film that demands one.

years ago at The L one of our music guys interviewed Dan Bejar & asked about the long songs on Rubies & Trouble in Dreams, to which Bejar said like "Pop music's the only artistic medium where 7 minutes is considered a big ask of someone's attention." that was true at the time!.

you should be able to study art history at the flagship campus of your state university. when has a society ever progressed in parallel to disengagement from the humanities. STEM isn't the future, it's trade school, wage slavery at the foot of a technological Moloch.
Indiana Univ is eliminating dozens of programs including African American and African Diaspora Studies, French, Art History, Comparative Literature, Gender Studies, Spanish, Atmospheric Sciences. Yale's endowment is $42 billion, Harvard's $53 billion.
