@AVARY CGI is bad enough. Knowing you’re watching a greenscreen not a real location already makes films that do that terrible to watch.. But at least those still have real humans and real light and some minimum threshold of overall reality to ground them. An AI film has nothing.

Both Steven (with Full Frontal) and I (with The Rules of Attraction) were the first filmmakers to take Final Cut Pro, a consumer tool, into prime time usage on feature films. I only narrowly beat him to theaters because his system crashed and he lost all his work. That’s what it means to be on the bleeding edge of filmmaking. The guy is a mad scientist and it doesn’t surprise me at all that he’s at the forefront of the greatest democratizing filmmaking tool since consumer digital cinema. No one complained when he shot a movie on an iPhone. It astonishes me that anyone is in a kerfuffle about his experimentation with AI.

@El_Vim_Fuego @adrianmckinty Greenaway is way funnier than Wes Anderson. Everything that comes out of Gambon’s mouth in Cook+Thief is hilarious

@adrianmckinty I don’t recall that much of it whereas Anderson has comedy in bucketloads in every film.

Peter Greenaway's early filmography so weird & good 4 of my favs: Draughtsman's Contract (1982) Belly of an Architect (1987) Drowning by Numbers (1988) The Cook, The Thief, His Wife & Her Lover (1989) he's an English David Lynch (or perhaps Wes Anderson)

@backupsounds @WergildBlake @noztromos Unironically yes

@WergildBlake @noztromos Yea I know, can’t believe they gave interstellar 5 stars

Guy who willingly watches a terrible film just so their letterboxd curve looks better

@ProjBigScreen @ChrisKlemmer @JeffDLowe @bobgoochman @JackKennedy Zoe being on this list is insane

What’s the WORST Oscar win of the century so far? We debate the 10 worst wins since the turn of the century in honor of the #AcademyAwards… Did we miss anything?

@LugarCinema Shampoo

Lo dijo Paul Thomas Anderson, que locura fue lo del Oscar a Mejor Película en la gala de 1976... Alguien Voló Sobre El Nido Del Cuco, Tiburón, Barry Lyndon, Tarde De Perros, Nashville. ¿Quién merecía llevárselo?

@BadFilmTakes1 None of them are as good as Shampoo, which couldn’t even make it into the field that year.

Look, I love One Battle After Another. I love Sinners. I admire Marty Supreme and the Secret Agent. None of those movies are as important or great as any 15 minutes of Barry Lyndon.

@enosarris What about RP stuff+ leaders so far?

Spring SP leaders so far in Stuff+ (with caveat that these are short outings, so many haven't pitched yet) 1) Jose Soriano 2) Clay Holmes 3) Matthew Liberatore 4) Jack Leiter 5) Blade Tidwell 6) Tarik Skubal 7) MacKenzie Gore 8) Joey Cantillo 9) Hunter Barco 10) Logan Gilbert

@NCseventeen Didn’t you know? Everybody on film twitter is a perfect person and expects everyone else to live up to their own lofty perfect person standard. Totally reasonable and not at all unhinged.

@spero1ucem Why are people calling him a piece of shit? Dogville? Antichrist? Dancer in the Dark? Breaking the Waves? Meloncholia? When did everyone get so soft? Or is there a scandal I don't know?

no scandals no allegations no mental health problems just some damn good movies

@CinemaTweets1 If they had just swapped these it would have been so much better

Tell Me Your Thoughts

@sadfrog95 @ScottMGreer No it is not. Not even close.

@ScottMGreer But is it better than Cruising or To Live and Die in L.A.

Finally watched "Sorcerer." It's definitely the best of the New Hollywood "flops" and it's Friedkin's best film. Better than even "The Exorcist" and "The French Connection"

@TheWrap Maestro already did the whole ending with a jump forward in time from the mid-century to the 1980’s with a Tears for Fears song playing, and that movie just came out a couple years ago.. The dynamic in that scene was a little bit vampiric as well.

A24 vetoed Josh Safdie’s original #MartySupreme finale, which would’ve jumped to a 1987 Tears for Fears concert where #KevinOLeary’s character bites #TimothéeChalamet and turns him into a vampire. “You’re on his eyes — we built the prosthetics for Timmy and everything — and Mr. Wonderful shows up behind him and takes a bite out of his neck,” Safdie said. “That was the last image of the movie.” Read more about the film's overruled ending: bit.ly/45b05bC 📸 Getty Images/Jose Perez/Bauer-Griffin/GC Images

@WildCardBeeches @unsexuaIIy Belly is a billion times better than Sinners

@unsexuaIIy Unfortunately the best black movies I have ever seen are the 90's gangsta movies

Black Twitter up in arms over this but will celebrate and parade around the “best scene of the year” in sinners which is just people crip walking and twerking . Alright

@_nilliewelson @illjoy_ Which ironically strengthens Eddington’s case

@illjoy_ It’s a niche meme, you fell for the algorithmic programming

why are Eddington fans so obsessed with this narrative that it will be remembered as the most important movie of 2025

@AledMitch @acesthegambler @illjoy_ The song playing over it was an even funnier needledrop than Firework

@acesthegambler @illjoy_ The ending montage had me hooting and hollering in the aisles, and then they showed Marjorie Taylor Greene with the kid and I had to applaud and salute the gigantic balls on Aster. Masterpiece. Movie of da year, baby!

@Lee63875446 @_ZodiacZoro_ @DANIELPEMBERTON Eddhead is phenomenal work

@_ZodiacZoro_ @DANIELPEMBERTON Hell yeah, fellow Eddhead! Best movie of the year and it’s not particularly close.

EDDINGTON proving horribly prophetic yet again (sadly)

@americanreqiuem People act like Ruth Gordon didn’t win supporting for Rosemary’s Baby for the same type of performance in the same type of movie at the same stage in her career. There’s direct precedent for the Madigan win.

the collective twitter brain mentality will not work here. Amy Madigan is a worthy winner #CriticsChoiceAwards

@benny_safdie You made a phenomenal movie, Benny. Did right by the combat sports world with it. You should be proud 🫡

Usyk will go down in history as one of the greatest boxers to ever do it… so imagine the fear I had having to go in and show him how to do the ground and pound specifically for camera... I was like “how the hell do I tell the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world this?!?!” 🤣🤣🤣. He is the most humble and incredible guy and he gives a great performance. He wanted to do right by Igor Vovchanchyn! @usykaa you are amazing!! Shout out to @sugarrayleonard and the late great @realmarvinhagler for giving us one of the greatest fights in history!! GO SEE THE SMASHING MACHINE in theaters!!!

@responsiblerob With the mustangs being his reindeer because he’s a Christmas Adventurer. Charger doesn’t really work the same

not only was it in fact a mustang but a clever detail is that when the character is introduced he is driving a vintage mustang and then later on he is driving a modern mustang in the same color, implying that he has a different blue mustang for every occasion
