@TheCinesthetic Eastern promises

What is a movie fight scene that you rate 10/10?

@ManuDubois72 @TheCinesthetic A seriously underrated movie!

@TheCinesthetic Man on fire est pas mal non plus ...

Crimson Tide (1995) feels like the moment Tony Scott fully mastered high-pressure studio filmmaking. Gene Hackman and Denzel Washington turning a power struggle inside a submarine into edge-of-your-seat cinema is still ridiculous to watch.

We have literally been lied to about everything Matt Walsh “The Rosa Parks story you were taught in school was fake too. This was not just some woman on her way home from work. Civil rights leaders thought Parks would make a sympathetic face for their lawsuit and then told her, a longtime NAACP volunteer, to create a situation where she'd be arrested. This gets sold to the public as totally organic when actually it's playacting to create ideal conditions for a court case or scandal. The iconic photo of Parks on the bus was staged months after the incident as part of a press campaign. (The photo is shown in the clip) The white man, sitting behind her in the bus photo was a journalist, which you probably didn't know.” Let’s fact check this. It’s 100% true What Actually Happened on December 1, 1955 Rosa Parks was a longtime NAACP volunteer and secretary of the Montgomery chapter. She had been deeply involved in civil rights activism for years (including work on cases like the Recy Taylor rape and voter registration efforts). She was not just a random tired seamstress on her way home from work who spontaneously refused to move. Local civil rights leaders had been looking for a strong test case to challenge bus segregation. They even had people cast for the role before Rosa Parks. Earlier attempts include 15 year old Claudette Colvin were passed over because leaders felt Rosa Parks, a mature, respected, married woman with a spotless reputation, would be a more sympathetic plaintiff in court and to the public The Iconic Photo was 100% staged The famous photo was taken on December 21, 1956, this is over a year after her arrest and on the first day the buses were integrated after the Supreme Court ruling It was deliberately staged by journalists, Look Magazine and UPI, for a press campaign to dramatize the victory The white man sitting behind her is Nicholas Chriss, a UPI reporter, not a random angry passenger or segregationist

@BestMovieMom It was way funnier than that! Remington Steele was effectively cancelled after its fourth season, but NBC revived it after the publicity around Pierce Brosnan becoming the likely new Bond. Because Brosnan was still under contract to the show, he had to stay on.

Pierce Brosnan was first cast as Bond in 1986 for The Living Daylights but NBC refused to release him from Remington Steele. He waited 9 years before finally debuting in GoldenEye (1995) at age 42.

Will THE LAST JEDI will be seen as a top-tier Star Wars movie in 10 years time? 👀 Discuss.

@TheCinesthetic Every single female character who had to be killed off to justify the male lead having an emotional reaction.

What character didn’t deserve what happened to them?

@Sihophone @tylerschmall @GRRMspeaking

@tylerschmall @GRRMspeaking All of the characters brought back to life and just stood around like

Let’s just say George RR Martin isn’t the only one who’s written 1,200 pages of Winds of Winter. We’ll see who finishes first Georgie boy @GRRMspeaking

@career_re Eat cookies. Fill thesis with other stuff. Seems like a good plan!

@Symply_rhoda1 Schrödinger’s pregnancy!

Okay, now I am confused—what is the third line for?😩

@TheCinesthetic Season 1 ran like a clockwork - meticulously adding new complications over the whole season. Then they grew too bold, overcomplicating season 2. Then overcompensated the other way in season 3 with the plot being spoon fed. And season 4 was just a mess.

Season one of Westworld proved Jonathan Nolan understood television as architecture. Every episode built toward something. The pacing was meticulous. Then success made the show self-satisfied and that precision evaporated.

A second great reason not to leave you laptop unattended 😂

@emalmas @LMGimse Altså. For å parafrasere Ivar Hoff: Ikke er det øl, og ikke er det mango!
