Reminder that in shooting this gay sex scene, the straight director and BOTH straight actors got the positions wrong and made for impossible angles that don't biologically work and so they had to reshoot under the guidance of Fuller, a gay man.

Not to put on a rainbow-tinfoil hat, but I don't think it's a coincidence that JUST as queer sexuality is breaking through into cinematic spaces it was excluded from, ppl suddenly turn around and declare the state of media as some depraved wall-to-wall sex fest.
Less than 2% of English language movies released in North America each year have sex scenes, and the ones that do exist tend to be very short, and somehow the perception that there’s an epidemic of pornography on screens has migrated from Fox News Channel and TikTok to actors

Sometimes a scene doesn't have to "Drive the plot forward" sometimes a scene can just be in a film because it's fucking beautiful.
No one on earth can say Singin' in the Rain is a film with bad pacing with a straight face. You're making an experience, not a plot machine.

I feel part of what makes Josh Segarra extra hot in The Other Two is he's not sporting like the ultra-dehydrated, not-eaten-in-two-weeks kind of body they make so many actors do, he's jacked, sure, but he actually looks like a real person.
And they let him have body hair!

AMADEUS is a film of impossible, staggering craft.

The Matte Painting to end all Matte Paintings.
A big reason old fashioned matte paintings are effective is because they represent an IDEA. The best ones end up standing for the movie itself, in our memories. They require a decision to be made early & stuck with throughout production. Deliberation & sureness are mandatory.

By THE LAST CRUSADE, Spielberg's staging has become absolute god-tier, it's literally impossible to keep track of and parse how any one scene is put together, he uses multiple moving oners and cuts into and through them so intricately.

The etymology of the expression comes from Beheadings/Executions which involved Axes or Guillotines chopping off people's heads.
Since historical Castrations were done with knives, all idioms about that were "cut" based, but the preferred term was "Geld" anyway (Norse Origin).

The number of ppl in my film school who really just didn't like watching movies was insane.
Worse, when I got out in the world and found out a bunch of indie filmmakers also hate watching movies.
They have one filmmaker or one genre or style and that's the Only thing they watch
There are SO MANY film majors who think movies are tight but also just don't watch movies. My best friend in the program BOMBED film history. I looked at his test answers once and for "Who was Thomas Edison?" he just wrote "A good man" which still isn't even correct.
