The filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan weathered some of the wildest hype and harshest backlash that Hollywood has to offer, @davidlsims writes. Now he’s found a different path:

it’s not news that the media is particularly (and unwarrantedly) cruel to taylor swift but the way men feel entitled to speak about women, their bodies, and their sex lives needs to be seriously evaluated
If Taylor Swift is going to be taking over our Sunday’s I’m going to need to see a sex tape. These are my demands @PardonMyTake

A powerful force for disinterest, Netflix — there's a new Wes Anderson thing waiting to be watched at my earliest leisure and I'm like "eh I'll get to it when I get to it"

this Toy Story football broadcast seems to be using incredibly innovative and sophisticated technology to create a freakish niche nightmare everyone hates

I mean if Zurg is in the field that should be addressed
i'm dying at the Disney + Toy Story NFL broadcast, where the announcers are just doing sincere, adult-focused play-by-play and analysis but every once in a while they have to go "and oh no, Zurg is here!"

indeed. worth remembering that all of Glazer’s prior films (three masterpieces) got very mixed reception on release
To be honest, it never felt right that THE ZONE OF INTEREST — to me a flat-out stunner, one of the year’s few major festival hits that feels genuinely bracing in form and outlook — attracted as much critical consensus at Cannes as it did. Snarky/bemused/bad takes are overdue.
