Main account got hacked this morning, so you can disregard it. I don’t really care since I rarely use this cursed app anyway, but didn’t want anyone to claim my old username, so I went ahead and created a new one.

Interviewing Sandra Hüller for this cover was a proud day. She revealed things about her process that she normally keeps to herself. "You're doing a job on me" she said playfully. Asked how I became a journalist, said it was clearly what I was meant to do. backstage.com/magazine/artic…

low key lighting and sterile coloring is one of fincher’s hallmarks and he pioneered digital cinematography in that style. his dark shots work because they fit the true crime and corporate subjects but copycats can’t do it like him so and now everything looks lazy and under lit

it is actually insane to attach zendaya’s name to this and not, you know, kristoffer borgli’s name considering that he’s the director in question

I will say this: the twist in The Drama will (understandably) piss some off and the discourse will be putrid but it worked for me. Even when it seems like it can’t be fixed, the film ultimately makes it ring true. This will test our collective media literacy. (And we may fail.)

Outside of being the worst interviewer we have, is it too much to ask to not dress like a slob during these things? I’m not like, a stickler for formal wear and have definitely shown up in a black tee, jeans and jacket but rolling in rocking the $5 Below collection. Come on

We’ve got dinosaurs. We’ve got Ewan McGregor doing an American accent. We’ve got Anne Hathaway in a split diopter shot. Directed by David Robert Mitchell. Some movies can’t have everything. This movie does.

The letter sent to traditional cinemas instructs projectionists to present Project Hail Mary in the taller FLAT format, even on wider Scope screens, so space scenes expand to full height while Earth scenes trade full-screen coverage for a more memory-like feel.

This is terrible news. I hope everyone manages to find a job soon. Sony just acquired Pixomondo in 2022, why buy them just to close them down after only 4 years? What a waste of talent and creativity. Pixomondo has made amazing VFX work for decades.

Moana vs Pirates, and their histograms
notice how Pirates is heavy on shadows and highlights
Moana has very little in the highlights, it's all in the mids
this is a small part of the problem, but it's part of it

@KellytoyDK What do you mean Disney did this 20 years ago and they all look like real people on a real beach with real water? How does a film from 20yrs ago look better than one now?!

A lot of the ‘you HAVE to see this in IMAX’ stuff is pretty gimmicky nowadays but I really think the way they differentiated the flashbacks and present with aspect ratios in PHM was super effective. It’s sad that so many won’t get a chance to see it that way

Disclaimer: I don't have EXACT data. Consider this a simplified explainer on how Greig Fraser captured 1.43 IMAX shots on the Arri Alexa 65. 🧵
The Alexa 65 captures 6.5K off a 2.12:1 sensor. Traditionally, in order to extract a 1.43:1 image for IMAX, you'd have to crop in horizontally. Not ideal.

Seeing ASPECT RATIOS written incorrectly all over the internet. Let's see if this clears it up. The aspect ratio is the relationship between the width and height, traditionally separated by a colon.
A square has an aspect ratio of 1:1 because it's width and height are equal.
Formats like IMAX (15-perf 70mm) are projected at 1.43:1, 1.43 times wider than it is tall.
Writing it as 1:4:3 implies height, width, depth.
Modern TVs are 1.78:1 or 16:9 because 16/9 = 1.77778 and we round it up.
Super 35 = 1.33:1
VistaVision = 1.50:1
Standard Widescreen / Flat = 1.85:1
IMAX Digital = 1.90:1
Univision = 2.00:1 or 2:1
5-perf 70mm = 2.20:1
Anamorphic / Scope = 2.35:1 or 2.39:1
Ultra Panavision = 2.76:1

When I see people make broad generalizations about black horror usually due to their ignorance and not being able to understand the subject matter, I recall this video explaining how gender and race can change how a genre is portrayed and why it is important to have that diversity.

Black Horror is nothing more than revenge porn against Whites

I hope Hollywood learns the right lesson from the massive success of Project Hail Mary (“the right lesson” being that Sandra Hüller karaoke scenes = big money)

It’s a privilege to make a movie. A bigger one to do it with your best friend. Bigger still to have so much help from so many brilliant artists and friends old and new. But the biggest privilege of all is when people you’ve never met give you their time and attention and take a seat. Without that generosity a film cannot exist. Thank you, friends. Thank you strangers. Hope you love it.
