@AlanJeffries I’d say ESB was a departure of sorts from ANH. The problem with ROTJ is it was a step back, though I do still enjoy it.

the idea that rotj is some massive departure in content and style is so stupid. like just watch them again man. it’s not that different
Film Facts 🎬@Factsonfilm
Denis Villeneuve has no interest in making a Star Wars film • He was once obsessed with Star Wars — calling 'Empire Strikes Back' his most anticipated movie ever • Franchise was 'derailed' with 'Return of the Jedi' — 'it became a comedy for kids' • Dislikes the Ewoks to this day

@firagawalkwthme They’re saying Obsession (1976) did better than Star Wars (1977) at the box office? That can’t be right
English
Lowkirkenuinely a little sad seeing this
Wolfman's Got Nards@WolfmansGotNard
Not only did Obsession release a week before Star Wars, but it's showing in 1700 less screens and it's STILL beating it. I've never seen anything like this.

@LRSerling You watch ‘Plein soleil’ and it’s crazy how much effort Tom Ripley puts into forging another man’s signature and then he’s all good to go

It really feels like the entire world has turned into an inescapable panopticon. I look back on the pre-computer days and they almost seem like a time of ridiculous freedom, where you could just skip town and start a new life whenever you wanted

you used to be able to rent a hotel room under a fake name now i need an app to do my damn laundry

@BillTheKid1603 Incredibly, this fact is only the second most eyebrow-raising thing about those lyrics.

Why is the best guitar riff ever in a song about selling microwave ovens

@xhane2x Every post I see about zoomer dating habits makes me feel like I’m a hundred years old.

@seanajune Are people getting dating advice from sex workers without realising? that's really funny if so

Who is telling straight women to insist upon working girl transportation fees?

@dirtlord101 We get roommate discourse every year. It’s a nice change to finally get a story told from the villain’s perspective.
English
So you’re complaining that your ex roommate didn’t give you any of her stuff?
Nix 🦇🏳️⚧️📡@butchbatnix
@lieumle shes very……particular? like, if she technically owns something (even stuff she bought for the house communally) she’ll make sure to remind you of it, so when she moved out im assuming she just swept through the house going “mine mine mine technically mine mine” lmao
English
@NillaWants Apparently you are ‘very particular’ for reminding a housemate that something you bought is technically yours

Ok, so I learned that these are called phonesthemes :)
Paras Chopra@paraschopra
Today I learned that in English: words starting with "gl-" often relate to light: gleam, glint, glance, glare, glaze, glimpse, glitter, gloss, glower, glisten, glaze, glitz, glazed. words starting with "sn-" often relate to nose: sniff, sneeze, snuff, snore, snort, snot.

My girl told me her version of shooting her shot with me was watching my story. She didn’t follow me, didn’t like anything. She just watched my story and waited for me to follow her so she could follow back
Ginger@Gboye_Rave
Do you think that women should shoot their shot if they are interested in someone ?

There are days when I miss being an editor and I particularly loved writing headlines. Whoever did this, I hope they took the rest of the day off.

@darthgordita Interesting. I would have said the opposite. It’s all plot and exposition and ‘world-building’ now, and fewer people seem to know how to block.

@maiamindel ‘Austin’ trailer would have shadowy visuals, Quincy Jones’ music will be slowed down and with mournful choir singing on top. No jokes.
English
it might be time for an eight episode amazon prime original series titled AUSTIN that explores how he came to become horny
ً@NotJosephGarcia
There’s never any explanation in the films for why Austin Powers is horny. The filmmakers just expect us to agree to the premise and move on.

@karr_pe Wel, my morning is off to a depressing start after reading this. Please tell me he’s found a workaround.

Found a new ed tech horror. I talked to a HS English teacher, has content PhD. His school still read real novels - Dostoyevsky good stuff. But our district wants them to switch to iLit20, which is all online, has Crime & Punishment, but an an AI translation, condensed to 150 pgs.

@TheKnownLover Had a similar reaction when I saw Gray’s ‘Two Lovers’ in 2008. It’s a contemporary film but even back then it felt like a period piece.
English
Just a normal image of a real guy in the real world is pretty much revolutionary filmmaking at this point. I saw this picture and literally thought “holy shit I need to see this movie”

woah. didn't know it was possible to create a shot like this anymore

@mazzyyyyyyy There seems to be two groups: those who think Andy is indifferent to fashion, or that she believes she’s above it all. If the latter is true, the speech makes sense; if the former, it doesn’t really work.

not to be a bitch but how do you not get this
Peli Grietzer@peligrietzer
This speech always confuses me, why should she be impressed they chose the color of her sweater if she doesn't care about her sweater? 'What you don't know is the font on your rent contract is not Garamond, not Garamond Premier, but Adobe Garamond'

@MovieKessler I hope Nolan goes into bozo mode. This looks more like a boring Ridley Scott film tbh.
