LOOR TV CEO Marcus Pittman says "Christian movies are bad on purpose." "[Mel Gibson's] Passion [of the Christ] made over $600 million on a $30 million budget. The most obvious play would have been to duplicate that movie hundreds of times like it was the MCU. But instead of greenlighting more, Hollywood blacklisted the people involved. So what did they do instead? They set up a system where they get to be the gatekeepers. They only greenlight the safest, most formulaic, most non-threatening stuff possible. Because if Christian films ever started consistently competing with mainstream entertainment, those studios would have a real problem. So they make sure that never happens." Why do you think this is?

@SandyofCthulhu They do not have good tomatoes at all

My buddy had to stay in Nottingham for 6 weeks in 1990 to do quality assurance on a game. They had a little sandwich shop that was only open for lunch. One of the main sandwiches was the fabled "bacon bap". One day he went there and said, "I would like a bacon bap. But please toast the bap, add a slice of tomahto, a piece of lettuce, and a smear of mayonnaise." They made it, and then said, "Wow that looks good." He took it to his cubicle and his English co-workers came by asking "What's that? What's that?" He said, "It's a bacon lettuce tomato sandwich - a BLT." They asked for the recipe, and he told them the name is literally the recipe. They scampered down to the lunch shop and all got some. The BLT, previously unknown, became the most popular sandwich at those offices. Britain has great bacon, good tomatos, and fine lettuce. But at least in Nottingham 1990, they had never put them together to make what is, objectively, one of the great sandwiches of the world.

@chriswithans Crickets the same for aus/eng. 5 days play all day long.

Turns out the slower overall pace and frequency of games is a big plus for baseball. That's because people really like having live background video in their homes while they use the Internet or do whatever else. I'm very serious about this. Baseball is one of the best forms of background "noise" for modern life. 2 hours, 15 minutes, with lots of breaks. And you can always tell when there's action because of the crowd noise. It's 162 games a year over 6 months + playoffs and spring training.

@christopherrufo You are unfit to be a writer of any description

I read the first hundred pages of The Road last year, and read the first hundred pages of Blood Meridian this year, and in both instances, gave up, because the books never clicked. Lyrical writing, but the characters are reduced to way down Maslow's hierarchy, and the tone is so relentlessly bleak, with almost no humanity breaking through, it was difficult to feel anything besides the flint clicking against the cold steel in the overwhelming darkness. I know many of you love it, but to me, it's overwrought, overstylized, and overhyped.

@DiscussingFilm So flat and gray

‘SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY’ takes place 4 years after ‘NO WAY HOME’. Official synopsis — “Peter is now an adult living entirely alone, having voluntarily erased himself from the lives and memories of those he loves. Crime-fighting in a New York that no longer knows his name, he's devoted himself entirely to protecting his city - a full-time Spider-Man. But as the demands on him intensify, the pressure sparks a surprising physical evolution that threatens his existence, even as a strange new pattern of crimes gives rise to one of the most powerful threats he has ever faced.”

@bbatts523 You can tell he wrote the wiki himself

In college I took a course about American Horror. Our final assignment was to analyze a random low-budget slasher movie set in the 1700s The first-half of my paper was just me calling the movie terrible and incomprehensible Turned out my professor made the movie.

@TSoS_ Neither of these movies had any right to be as good as they were

Smile 2 had one of the craziest cliffhanger endings in modern horror history. The Entity has cursed an audience of thousands, who can carry the curse to millions of others. Smile 3 could well turn out to be a post-apocalyptic story. I really hope they deliver on this incredible setup. It worries me that the film might happen without Parker Finn's involvement, however. His direction in Smile 2 was absolutely phenomenal and if he does not return to write the movie either, this might turn out really disappointing. Truly hope these recent rumours aren't true and he gets to finish this trilogy.

@jpmovies24 Crazy underrated. Gonna be a classic in 10 years

Blackhat (2015) Dir. Michael Mann

@NCseventeen Come on bro say the names

Some horror titles

@escapefrommelos How on earth is this real?

I read the latest virally-bad “Asian Striver Girl with Immigrant Parents & a White Boyfriend” story so you don’t have to. I was hoping for maybe some mediocre soft porn, maybe some cheap and easy beauty, but it somehow gets even worse than the first paragraph.

@AzFlin @escapefrommelos What the hell is wrong with you? Do you have a head injury?

@escapefrommelos this is cringe but the prose is well written

@JakeTropila How does it compare to the original which is already perfect?

SERPENT’S PATH (2024, Kiyoshi Kurosawa)

@DanielHood4 Carnival of souls

ONE horror movie that I would show to a NON- HORROR person to change their opinion of the genre

@JamesDreamin Creepy as hell. Loved it.

There are cinematographers with Hollywood budgets that are unable to film darkness. Clifton Holmes, armed with late 90s consumer tech, turns darkness into a breathing canvas. In the Dark boasts not only gorgeous video footage but a completely fearless performance by Kim Garrett.

@CoysConf Monster team he was building. What could have been...

August 2024.

@bluhorseshu72 @RealRodLacroix You might have no soul my guy

@RealRodLacroix You have just described the movie After Sun with Paul Mescal playing the lead part. The wife and I watched the entire thing waiting for something to happen. Nothing did. We just sat there at the end and looked at each other other wondering WTF was that?! 😳😂

Watched “If I Had Legs I Would Kick You.” You know how sometimes a movie has great reviews so you start watching it and you think “Okay this is terrible” but again it has great reviews and an Oscar nod so you think “I will stick with it to see if it gets better” but it doesn’t get better it somehow gets worse and worse but now there’s only 28 minutes left and you are completely invested so you figure they will clean everything up in the end and explain everything so you understand what this movie was actually about but then it just ends and you’re like WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK DID I JUST WATCH? That is this movie.

@HydraulicLord Please bro where can I watch 🙏🙏🙏

god i love beckett's german teleplays. just beautiful stuff...

@chillviaofarc Where can I watch this in this exact quality?

Love Massacre (1981) - Patrick Tam (laserdisc rip) 愛殺

@ExpensiveKev @ChristinaZandes He just said he didn't have control over signings

@ChristinaZandes Let’s not act like Ange didn’t talk a lot of sh1t and that Ange isnt culpable for a lot of our current problems too

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. It’s the fact we actually can be a big club, but the owners don’t want to behave like one. Everything Ange has said is what the fans have been saying for years. Nothing will change until those owners have gone, they are the ones who have created the DNA “Spursy”.
