If you see Project Hail Mary this weekend, I hope you'll remember how I told you over 3 years ago that stuff like this was going to explode in pop culture. -From ironic cynicism to post-ironic sincerity. -Embracing the "cringe" & the celebration of the earnest "try-hard." -From deconstructing the past, to a nostalgia for some positive "vibe" we lost in the deconstruction. -The rejection of Fight Club-era nihilism. -The ability to stare at the apocalypse in front of you and be hopeful instead of a "doomer."




motivated by this, i just went to watch this film in theatres… walked out after 15 minutes. i’ve never walked out of a movie before. are you KIDDING ME???? what the hell was this utter garbage and how did it win BEST PICTURE??? ARE YOU PEOPLE INSANE




Sidestepping PTA discourse to say here are ten currently active and in their prime directors I believe to be better: Lav Diaz Ryusuke Hamaguchi Pedro Costa Radu Jude Lucrecia Martel Lee Chang-dong Mike Leigh Apichatpong Weerasethakul Jia Zhangke Andrey Zvyagintsev






I have an idea for the Oscars. What if at the end of every decade there's a Movie of the Decade that's totally retrospective, and it can't have won Best Picture at the time? The movie with staying power? So for the 1990s it probably would have been something like Goodfellas,



The way some people (not everyone) are talking about Paul Thomas Anderson like he’s some middling talent that was just discovered yesterday and not one of the industry’s most respected and celebrated filmmakers who’s been making revered masterpieces for thirty years.



DUNE: Part Three | Standard VS IMAX 1.43:1

Seeing more niggas mad at Ryan coogler than that race play movie winning 6 Oscar’s


@alejandroxpadi The real sad thing people should be upset about is that IMAX is not making more of these places available There shouldn’t just be 13 or whatever theaters in the entire country that can project that out in specific 70mm/1:43:1
