@dsantat 😬

Flew to Vienna (with a stop in Istanbul) and everyone at all the airports are so stressed out about our election. Literally the entire planet is saying DON’T MAKE THIS MISTAKE AGAIN

@rendy_jones Same. It’s the hot take/come at me bro mentality that’s so toxic and unnecessary to cinemagoing for me

Like this just a regular dudes filmography. Some great work, some forgettable duds, some cult classics, and ghostgarbage. Dare I say it’s normal? I’m so tired of this needless CinemaSins cynical-driven hostility for engagement.

TULLY rules. Met Reitman earlier last week and told that to him to his face. He said “thanks for that, nobody really comments about Tully.” And I responded, “well, they should.”

@ATRightMovies Interviewed by @markcousinsfilm

Jonathan Demme talking about the use of subjective camera on his masterpiece, THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS (1991).

@DinosaurDracula My guess is that if this was the 80s, then the candy bars were still full-size and yeah, they're totally going in that house

Toys "R" Us Halloween candy sack from the '80s. Note how Geoffrey's family seems hesitant to risk their lives for a fun-sized Snickers.

@BaldMelonTim @miggsboson This was the exact thing I was going to mention here. The movie at the time was strongly going for a more fantasy/action vibe that Disney wasn't really doing anymore, hence why Bluth went off to do his own thing. And Bluth knew families would enjoy these types of film.

@SyckBeat @vicloveshorror

no. just…no. I have so many feelings about this shot, but listen; it’s fine, I get why it’s used, what it’s portraying whenever it’s done in media. It’s just come up in SO many shows and movies I’ve seen, some with absolutely no reason to do it other than to spice the shots up so it doesn’t all look the same but it doesn’t look good?? I mean??? I guess it does but it’s such a blatantly obvious trick or gimmick in filming that doesn’t feel anywhere close to being natural to me idk. Like, dutch angles are cooler. Conveying a different thing but WAY COOLER! WHERE ARE THE DUTCH ANGLES??

i’m a sucker for split diopter shots

@kibblesmith It's amazing to know that the Migrant Mother was only 33 at the time of that iconic photograph

@dsantat Oh seriously! I can’t stop checking 😩

I'm at the maddening point of the year where I'm just constantly staring at election polls as if it's going to give me any sort of sign or any sort of comfort.

@letterboxd Probably the most polar opposite/ping pong match I'm having here

Happy #LetterboxdFriday! Time to share your #LastFourWatched 👀

@laserboat999 Cassette Futurism at its best

@AbeehaTariqArt I love that the hair consists of glitter ✨

the handlettering, the hair, big fan

apparently rolly crump sent this letter to mary blair? i’m obsessed

@JPMajor If you ever get the chance, pick up this delightful book from 1964, illustrated by Peter P. Plasencia. Such a great fun, midcentury gem

Found this old children’s book about space at an antique shop in Providence. It’s from 1953…we’ve learned a lot since then!

@redherringdraws Yeah, it’s a big bummer they didn’t mention Invisible Creature (I guess they aren’t here on Twitter anymore)

Who's the artist??

@PulpLibrarian I had this cassette! Loved Fuzzbox

Not afraid to use it... Fuzzbox. Record Mirror, 17 May 1986.

Today in pulp... I'm sorting through my Record Mirror collection!

@blauereiter They've made the Art book available free (and legal) on Archive.org: archive.org/details/batman…

Still one of the best American animated series ever made imho. The opening sequence itself belongs in the animation hall of fame. I should really dig out my ( possibly misplaced ) art book for the series- amzn.to/3LQDiYt

Original gouache painting by M. Sasek for This is Cape Canaveral (later: This is Cape Kennedy, and then even later: This is the Way to the Moon). #wardsmorguefile
