About 2 years ago, I was reading Cormac McCarthy's The Crossing when I came across a passage that stopped me dead in my tracks. It told of a heretic, a priest, and the meaning of life. And today, more than anything, I just need to pass on this tale: youtu.be/mxP1MeDYhrc

I maintain my position that Nolan is generally overrated by filmbro’s but still seriously underrated by cinephiles

Seeing this casually pass the feed in between the horrifying images of Israel's genocidal rage just adds another layer of grief to an already deeply tragic state of affairs. We could have filled our hearts with awe and wonder. Created miracles. What have we become?

For decades, Hollywood has tried to adapt Cormac McCarthy. And now that his magnum opus, the notoriously violent Blood Meridian, is once again in production, what can we learn from the previously adapted works of his? How to film this "unfilmable" author? youtu.be/irQstK-L1Oo

Secondly, and exclusively for Nebula folks: my hour+ long conversation with Jake - in which we discuss McCarthy at length, share our own dream adaptations of his books, and make a list of the most McCarthy-like movies that weren't actually written by him nebula.tv/videos/lsoo-a-…

@austincamsmith Yeah honestly, in 2019 especially, there’s like 4-5 movies that could have easily taken that spot, so many good options there

@Tom_LSOO Interesting that you call A Hidden Life the best of 2019. I'm the biggest Malick fan there is, but it missed the multi-sided complexity of Tree of Life & Days of Heaven to me. The Lighthouse gets my vote from '19; Parasite & Uncut Gems close behind it.

After reaching the incredible milestone of 1.000.000 subscribes, I said I'd do a big Q&A video, and here it is: youtu.be/wH94FMSAG78 Thanks again to everyone who subscribed to the channel, I literally wouldn't have gotten this without you!

Not necessarily saying that movies have gotten worse, probably more so that the industry's changed in such a way that there's fewer good movies that get made (maybe they're also just not making as many movies overall? I'm not sure)

Like, this was all 2019: Parasite, Portrait of a Lady on Fire, Uncut Gems, One Upon a Time in Hollywood, The Irishman, Knives Out, The Lighthouse, Us, Ad Astra, 1917, Midsommar, Avengers Endgame, and I'm probably forgetting a few

Project Hail Mary is very easy to like, but hard to love... a breezy crowd-pleaser that offers a fun pastiche of your favorite sci-fi movies, but fails to truly capture any of the core qualities that made those movies so thematically rich and monumental: youtube.com/watch?v=lAcEJN…
