@CultureCrave Why does the industry insist on portraying her as anything but an average actress, at best? I don’t get it. I like her fine, but come on now. 🤦🏾‍♂️

Matt Damon says he and Tom Holland got jealous of Christopher Nolan calling Zendaya’s performance 'perfect' while filming scenes for ‘The Odyssey’ "Chris is known for being very circumspect. So when you do a take, it’s not like he says, ‘That was great.’ He’ll go, ‘Yep, good. Okay.’ And that is the equivalent of the greatest praise you could ever get" “Zendaya, on the other hand ... he said, ‘Cut.’ And then he went, ‘Perfect.’ And literally, Tom [Holland] and I were obsessed with this. She got a ‘perfect’? I’ve never even gotten a ‘great.’ She got a ‘perfect’?" "He and I bitched about it for the entire rest of the film. ‘Did you get anything today?’ ‘No, I got a 'good' —moving on.’ ‘Yeah, me too'" (via @ELLEmagazine)

@_kittycollector @_Kyouu I think the initial “think for a second” was a pretty funny joke initially but yeah afterwards it would be nice to explain

@_Kyouu saying "think for a second" to someone who may not even understand how a daw or vinyl functions is actually pretty unkind and assumes they have the same knowledge as you cause idk daws are actually pretty hard to understand as an outsider

There’s no way Fantano can just rate Maid of Honour a light 6 while having honestly nevermind as a not good. It’s very weird that these reviewers are letting a bar from a rap beef 2 years ago skew their opinions about which Drake music they like. Clear as day whats happening

@peakedin2009 @first3numbers If someone likes a movie, doesn’t that make it good to them? I don’t get the “pretending it’s good” angle

@Tom_LSOO Celine Song “Past Lives”, Charlotte Wells “Aftersun”, Emma Seligman “Shiva Baby m” & “Bottoms”, Daniels “Everything Everywhere All at Once”, Gareth Edwards “Monsters” & “Godzilla” & “Rogue One”… it is happening. But horror is the genre that a $1m film can get a $50m return

@NRanak65543 I mean, it was a movie. It made $8m on a $1m budget. It’s a successful film.

Pitchfork gives ‘BROWN’ by Chris Brown a score of 1.3, accompanied by a one-sentence review: “Chris Brown’s soulless, hit-chasing new album doesn’t justify his return to the public eye.”

@Variety Bad movie, weak plot, but nonstop political lectures. If you can't make a good film, don't preach. In short: make it good first

#Cannes jury president Park Chan-wook says "I don’t think politics and art should be divided." " I think it’s a strange concept to think that they’re in conflict with each other. Just because a work of art has a political statement, it should not be considered an enemy of art. At the same time, just because a film is not making a political statement, that film should not be ignored. Even if we are to make a brilliant political statement, if it’s not expressed artfully enough, it would just be propaganda. So what I want to say is that art and politics are not concepts that are in conflict with each other, as long as they are artistically expressed, they are valuable."

@Paladin_Lagnir Mixtape repeatedly marketed itself as a narrative adventure with dreamlike reenactments of memories, and a music/story-driven experience with short, curated sections/sequences that emphasise atmosphere/music over gameplay. That much was evident from anyone who paid attention.

@Paladin_Lagnir I'm not defending the game. I can see now where you're being dense. I just know that when I play Mixtape, I'm gonna get some Edith Finch / Dispatch / Artful Escape style linear adventure with sequences expected where there's little interaction because I know what games are like.

@Paladin_Lagnir I don’t really even care about the game, it was mostly about your refusal to see your own argument as illogical. I haven’t played it and I hated The Artful Escape. I’ll probably hate Mixtape too. But this is how games like this trend, and these are the expectations.

@Paladin_Lagnir The fact you don’t really know these are successful numbers for this type of game means you don’t know what kind of a success it really is. It’s surpassed their previous game, The Artful Escape, within 2 weeks. It’s successful, sure, partially because of the viral discourse

@bennymakesgames You're calling one of the most astroturfed and over promoted games ever made niche? This has Blackrock money behind it, and it hardly broke 2k, yet I have a feeling it will somehow end up at the game awards. No, this garbage is being pushed as one of the top games of the year.

@bennymakesgames I'm actually very familiar with the genre of "walk forward to progress game". It's the majority of indie horror right now unfortunately, and I'm often looking out for new horror games. Film exists to tell a non-interactive story. Don't sell me one as a game.
