Leaving a place that was their OWN and moving to the house of... the Emmys... Nothing is special anymore huh

this is pretty outrageous considering the Dolby was literally built to the Academy's specifications with significant assistance from the city, based on their argument that the ceremony had to be in Hollywood and not downtown or near USC.

What the actual fuck

“I guess I don’t know what I was ‘expecto’-ing,” writes Rebecca Alter. The first teaser trailer for HBO’s TV adaptation of ‘Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone,’ which came out on Wednesday, looks like the original ‘Harry Potter’ movie, but much grayer. The sets — like Hogwarts, the Hogwarts Express, the Quidditch pitch, and Harry’s little room under the stairs — are just as you remember them, with slightly worse lighting and some tiny, unplaceable details altered. The characters are dressed and styled like they were in the movies, too, but their faces are all different. “In these ways, watching this all-new look at a sort of new ‘Harry Potter’ is like having a dream where you go back to your elementary school, and it’s uncanny enough to teach you the lesson that you can never go back in time,” writes Aalter.

It’s baffling to me that people can’t let go of Harry Potter when Daniel Radcliffe was able to separate himself from it the second J.K Rowling started to be a cunt like i feel if Harry Potter himself understands basic human decency is more important it shouldn’t be hard for you

I think everyone needs to come to terms with the fact that if those god awful live action shot for shot remakes of animated movies make a billion at the box office easily then a show adaptation of the most famous modern kid’s book series is going to be an offensively big hit

harry potter trailer makes me feel sad about our current cultural moment in a way i find hard to articulate

Imagine reaching 35 and being this pathetic

"Now, begin thy magic spell." The Evil Queen (Lucille La Verne) undergoes a frightening transformation in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937)

against all odds, I was fully unprepared for just how off-putting and uncomfortable this would be to watch. something about seeing such a classically-crafted, iconic film series translated into the aesthetics of a modern HBO prestige streamer show just feels uncanny valley wrong.

George Lucas on the state of film and TV today: "Nobody knows what to do. The stories they're telling are just old movies. Let's do a sequel. Let's do another version of this movie. And it's not just in movies, but in almost everything, there's no original thinking. It's like I saw something, let's do something like that." Is he on to something here?

The things holding together the HP films are the artistry and craftsmanship in just about every frame and you’ve got the HBO show looking like an anti drug ad

Boring ass HARRY POTTER series, unwanted LORD OF THE RINGS sequel… The endgame of millennial nostalgia slop is here!

I cannot express how sick I am of franchise nostalgia slop becoming the dominant cultural product of our time

David Lean’s 'Brief Encounter' (1945) is one of the milestones of British cinema for the way it captures forbidden love, marital duty, and silent emotional devastation in World War II England.
