The Legacy of Ridley Scott with @SeanFennessey We discuss Scott’s career vs. Spielberg/Scorsese, his reputation for "style over substance," the divisive Alien prequels (Prometheus hive), and how Nolan/Villeneuve continue his project in interesting ways. https://t.co/mIWnOnwQDK

Letterboxd is brilliant because what over-educated under-fulfilled people actually want is imaginary homework to do

Consolidation and marketing departments will make replicating 1967, uh, challenging. But one reason this has been an exciting movie year is the way in which these three are revelatory and inspirational for young moviegoers. It feels like the beginning of … something.

‘MARTY SUPREME’ had the biggest opening ever for an A24 film, earning $28.3M domestically Read our review: https://t.co/RiHS3bK9ro

The misreading of Timothée Chalamet’s marketing campaign and his film Marty Supreme: https://t.co/x5hkkfsInl

I think we’re conflating strong performances with exemplary writing here

‘MARTY SUPREME’ is already tracking to double industry projections with a $25M-$30M domestic opening weekend The film has earned $3.2M in previews so far Read our review: https://t.co/RiHS3bK9ro

there's currently a petition to release the movie in theatres - please sign it. the animators deserve to have their amazing work shown on the big screen. fans deserve to experience a theatrical release of a franchise they've been waiting on for years. https://t.co/gFbYkWetco

There’s also a quietly cynical generational reading: the Greatest Generation spanks the Silent Generation, which then gives birth to the Boomers (Queens, 1950–a Trump reading is there if you want it). Really layered movie that on the surface is an electric, sports dark-comedy.

America turns Marty Mauser into Marty “Supreme.” a self-absorbed striver whose ambition matters more than anyone or anything around him, even Japan’s postwar rebirth. Casting Chalamet is subversive because we’re projecting a lot of sympathy onto him.

One thing I’m surprised hasn’t come up more in the conversation around Marty Supreme is how deeply it’s about American assimilation and exceptionalism. It plays like an American creation myth disguised as a sports movie.

On Josh Safdie's MARTY SUPREME, for @ringer

2+ hour discussion on Chalamet’s star power (our new Cruise/Denzel), his wild self-financed press tour (his girl got a billion), and how Marty Supreme birthed Donald Trump (?)!!! https://t.co/rAGOSNbj40

If you care about movies and keeping the theatrical experience alive, it’s hard to understand disliking these Chalamet marketing campaigns. He’s one of the few privileged Hollywood celebrities effectively using their capital to get young audiences into theaters. Iconic shit.

The haters lost man this is the greatest white boy of the 21st Century

generational marketing campaign honestly

"how anyone could be a jedi...it's so beautiful" josh o'connor gets it. someone should take notes. the way they ruined this, and made it about midicholorians again was such a disappointment. the idea of "to be someone important, you have to come from someone important" sucks.

RIP Rob Reiner fuck

LIKE THIS IS THE GOOD STUFFFFF !!!
