I’m now posting film thoughts over at Bluesky — now at thereelbits! Come hang out: thereelbits.bsky.social

This 1998 book was pitched with the title 'The World Is Not Enough' but Gildrose didn't think it was 'Bondian' enough. The third Pierce Brosnan film came out with that title a year later. That's just one of THE FACTS OF DEATH in the latest #007CaseFiles! thereelbits.com/2024/01/22/007…

@Brooke_ssi I was pondering that as well. I can see how Portman and Moore MAY have split the vote, but c'mon: Charles Melton was right there too.

More Donald without context.

It's been 75 years since SO DEAR TO MY HEART was widely released to US cinemas. It's a film that showed Walt's attention to detail in live action - and may have connections to an iconic theme park railway. thereelbits.com/2023/12/20/dis…

The biggest controversy on my strata committee this week is a spilled bag of foam beans and I swear I might be living in Stars Hollow.

The expanded LETTERS OF J.R.R TOLKIEN take the total count 500, giving us an additional 50,000 words by #Tolkien. From 1914 to 1973, they're alternatively intimate, charming, naive and cantankerous. In other words, they paint Tolkien as a complete human. thereelbits.com/2024/01/19/the…

@DVDBits She-Hulk used the extra $5 million buying all the different fonts for their poster. "I want a mixture of Risky Business and Suits... but still make it Hulk"

I see stuff like this getting traction. Inflation would mean Avengers (2012) would cost $227 million in 2022. She-Hulk was also 309 minutes long. Both facts one can Google in under a minute.

@nadine_whitney @ofcs This is true! I hadn't thought of that. Surprised MONSTER didn't appear more, but I'm not 100% sure on whether that got a US release in time.

An interesting mix, and (as an @OFCS member) I am glad to have been a part of the voting process again this year. Now the voting begins again!

I'm doomed.

Out this week in Australian cinemas, PRISCILLA. thereelbits.com/2024/01/16/rev…

Love this Lily Gladstone interview with @Letterboxd.

@thecinemascene Thanks! And happy new year!

@DVDBits Good list mate

Here's me slapping together a list of stuff I'm looking forward to this year. thereelbits.com/2024/01/06/mos…

@nadine_whitney Oh yes, forgot about mentioning Drive Away Dolls in particular. Might do a cheeky edit later 😁

The period between Christmas and New Year.

@Lord_Skyjoker @ofcs

@DVDBits @ofcs What about this cinematic masterpiece 😂😂😂

#ICYMI: The year is almost over, so it's time to look back at my favourite films of 2023. Here's 23 films, a Disney journey and some waffling about the future. #Bestof2023 @ofcs thereelbits.com/2023/12/24/bes…
