He said “black” not “African-Americans”. Daniel Kaluuya is British. Lupita is Mexican-Kenyan. You can say black people. Especially when the quote is him literally saying “I get to cast black people in my movies.”

Mel Gibson not only kept his career after calling Winona Ryder an “oven dodger” and telling his partner he hoped she was “r*ped by a pack of n-words", six years later his film got a best picture Oscar nomination and he was up for best director
Meanwhile we have an award winning actor/director who has actually said antisemitic, anti-Black and misogynist things and he is STILL getting the bag. Funny how that works.,
"How do we resist? Aleksandra Bystroń-Kołodziejczyk, the girl who glows in the film, as she did in life, chose to. I dedicate this to her memory and her resistance. Thank you."
The wildest thing about watching so many people get upset about Jonathan Glazer's Oscar speech, is realizing just how many people are content with being the woman on the left, when they could be the one on the right.
sorry if this is rude to say but i miss when famous people had normal human teeth. i can watch whole films without seeing a single naturally occurring set of chompers and it’s unnerving

I just hope the TCM video archives are taken care of. They have so many on camera interviews with Old Hollywood stars. Not just the intros, but like hour long convos with people like Sylvia Sidney, etc. I hope it gets donated to a real archive like Margaret Herrick.

We don’t teach it. But also most people learn from movies and there are so few movies featuring Black soldiers. White people are lazy about learning anything.

but can’t help but point out that a movie about a genocide got completely shut out and therefore no one who worked on it had a platform to possibly talk about a current genocide. . .
This headline really burying the lede that most of the women quoted were actually underage (15-17) when these incidents (grooming and assault) occurred
EXCLUSIVE: Sebastian Bear-McClard, the estranged husband of Emily Ratajkowski who has produced the three most recent films of the Safdie brothers, has been accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women.
everything that Zaszlav is doing to TCM is for short term gains with absolutely no regard to the future and absolutely ZERO understanding of what TCM has done not just for film history and cultural literacy, but for the mental health and well being of generations of people
“Before I ever thought of making music, I wanted to make films. . . David Lynch, alongside David Cronenberg, Stanley Kubrick, and Martin Scorsese play a huge part in my brand, my looks, my sound, and my aesthetic. At one point, my hair looked like Eraserhead.”
This ending is magnificent not just because Mads dancing is a wonder, but because of the character’s emotional arc at this moment and what his early life as a dancer represented with both his friend he’s lost and his wife possibly re-found

"We stand here as men who refute their Jewishness and the Holocaust being hijacked by an occupation which has led to conflict, for so many innocent people.”
'Zone of Interest' director Jonathan Glazer spoke out about Israel's weaponisation of the Holocaust in his Oscar…
Also in this film her “emotional life” is nothing but tears and agony. When anyone pushes back on why he doesn’t show any of her joy - which is an EMOTION - he deflects. He wasn’t interested in her emotional life. He was interested in recreating her pain and only her pain.
It’s 2023 and there’s still people crying nepotism about Sofia Coppola as of her body of work doesn’t stand on its own with a distinct worldview and visual language.
