@mc_ough @vurnt22 That Led Zeppelin movie was mind-blowing ✌🏼

@vurnt22 I've never listened to an Elvis record on purpose. Well besides Elvis is dead. Was absolutely captivated from the first second. I may have actually liked it as much as the Led Zeppelin movie.

Not yet, but I’m down. The preview was 🔥

@vurnt22 Saw it in IMAX, beautifully edited - the POLK SALAD ANNIE sequence alone is worth the price of admission ✌🏼gotta say though that for an Elvis in Concert experience it pales in comparison to the 2001 TCM re-cut of ELVIS: THAT’S THE WAY IT IS 🙌🏼

@vurnt22 Very Rankin-Bass MAD MONSTER PARTY vibes re: that makeup 🤔

There’s something fundamentally dopey in the makeup design of Christian Bale’s Creature. You HAVE to charmed by it. In the preview. That’s the danger of revealing something that major in the early promotion of the film. If it’s cute to you? You go! If not? Box. Office. Poison.

@MattZeitlin villain or hero 🤔

When the New Yorker profiled marc andreessen, he basically shut down all discussion of his actual upbringing and instead talked about Charles Schulz. When the author suggested a Rilke poem that could shed light on his situation, "he stared back in absolute horror."

@stalecooper He came back tho, that motherfucker came back with a vengeance ✊🏼

The Last Movie is far from perfect, but it's wild that a guy directed a movie that made 150 times its budget and then made the most Godardian narrative film ever produced by Hollywood and completely destroyed his career as a result

On this day, 60 years ago, Kihachi Okamoto's "The Sword of Doom" (1966) was released in Japan. Tatsuya Nakadai on the story of "Sword of Doom" (1966) & how he felt after filming the climax: "Interviewer: The climax of “Sword of Doom” is so chilling and it’s all carried by your energy and stamina. This was a hard film for you to shoot. Can you recall what shooting this climactic final scene was like? 'Sword of Doom' was shot in 1966, when I was 33 years old. It was directed by the great Kihachi Okamoto. He and I made several films together. He’s known for making comedies with a light touch … happy films. But 'Sword of Doom' is, of course, a tragedy. The film was based on a very famous novel in Japan. It was adapted to film three times; ours was the last adaptation. It was written by an author named Kaizan Nakazato. He was actually a newspaper reporter for Hochi Shimbun. His story, 'Sword of Doom,' was serialized over the course of three years. In the film, [my character] Ryunosuke commits a murder without a reason. But in Japan, there’s the concept of reincarnation in Buddhism. So if you commit a sin, it will be passed on to the next generation. So Ryunosuke is this man who uses this crazed, almost cursed sword. But when it comes down to it, the film is very much a “chanbara,” or samurai-swordplay film. As you said, in the last scene, I slashed down about 70 people in a period of three days. So I myself had lost my mind as well. That’s how I felt." ("A Living Legend: Tatsuya Nakadai on “Sword of Doom”", Simon Abrams, Rogerebert(dot)com, 2016)

@equalityAlec @jenniferdoleac Here to watch the ratio grow✌🏼

@jenniferdoleac I have an entire chapter in Copaganda debunking this idea and going through all the supposed research. None of the (small group of) pro-police researchers on which this post relies have had a single meaningful response to that critique.

Thoughtful post on how hiring more police will reduce mass incarceration (a thesis I wholeheartedly agree with):

@kingfizure @BenMank77 The US remake & suppression of the UK GASLIGHT happened too soon for the Anton Walbrook original to be a considered a classic, but, dang, it sure is one now 🤔 OG MALTESE FALCON & Bette Davis remake? Def not classics 😬

@BenMank77 To be fair, neither of them was a remake of a classic. Unless you consider EVERY old movie a classic. Maybe His Girl Friday is a better example? Or just drop “classic.”

Gaslight and The Maltese Falcon are both remakes. That's always worth remembering, since our first instinct is often to say it's sacrilegious to remake a classic. I think we should be open to remakes of our best films. And I want to go on record that Steven Seagal would kill it as Rick Blaine in "Pistol Whipped in Casablanca."

@filmsnoiraddict It breaks my heart to see this beautiful movie used as twitter* engagement bait - btw you can get a physical copy of this from @CohenMediaGroup & @KinoLorber ✌🏼♥️🎥

this masterpiece lives rent free in my mind

@CoolComicArt Top 5 BATMAN artist, too ✌🏼

Alan Davis

@DA_WooGo POINT BLANK, HELL IN THE PACIFIC, DELIVERANCE, ZARDOZ, EXORCIST II: THE HERETIC, EXCALIBUR, THE EMERALD FOREST, HOPE AND GLORY, BEYOND RANGOON, THE GENERAL, THE TAILOR OF PANAMA … John Boorman will ALWAYS be remembered 🙌🏼♥️🎥

There he is! Boorman, 92 years old. The words come slow but the mind is still sharp. Nice father and son interview. Ends with Charley saying he hopes the younger generation remember his dad. Kind of sad.

@CoolComicArt Good score/bad score impact cannot be underestimated - one of my recurring fantasies is for someone to put up the cash to re-score NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN and watch it vault into Top 5 007 Movies status 😄♥️

The recent Albert Pyun Captain America cut is no joke. It went from not being anywhere near my favorite Marvel adaptations to top 5 or 10 territory The score alone changes the entire viewing experience from the prior version

@thamosdeaf This movie is underrated - the dialogue script is on the weak side, but the story is solid, the direction/editing is clear & dynamic, and the title song is a banger. 4 out of 5.

Two surprises on rewatching Quantum of Solace, a movie to which I’m pretty indifferent: 1) 1:46 with credits is shockingly brief; 2) is that…?

@Shayan86 Also it’s Sean Connery 🤔

The only problem with this is that Ruhollah Khomeini, the leader of the 1979 Islamic revolution in Iran, has been dead since 1989.

@JenniferEValent Every time I open a newsfeed, as I’m clicking the app & whatever is loading, I hear in my mind, like a mantra: ‘what’d that motherfucker do now’

I feel this entire article in my bones, most especially this paragraph:

MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY HOLIDAYS 2025!!! 🎁🎄😬

@AP 🤨

BREAKING: Authorities arrested four alleged members of an extremist group suspected of planning bombing attacks for New Year's Eve in Southern California. apnews.com/article/los-an…

@michaelharriot Man o man if this guy can’t handle KEN BURNS (!), he should definitely avoid Raoul Peck’s EXTERMINATE ALL THE BRUTES 😬 I always considered myself pretty woke - but this film made me sit up and go ‘WOW white people REALLY ARE the Devil!’ ✌🏼💀🤷🏻‍♂️

The fact that this is his first time hearing this tells me all I need to know

@tburn1234 @jimsweatshirt Let me ruin your night … youtu.be/0zBN71z5w4E?si…

@jimsweatshirt Always ruins my day when I remember that Scott Derrickson is allegedly remaking this lol

how did they do this

@baileylikemovie Having seen the Mel Gibson films on their original release, I never ever thought we’d get FURY ROAD let alone FURIOSA 🤷🏻‍♂️ I’m grateful for the 5 we have. Anything more will be an unexpected & welcome gift ✌🏼♥️🎥

The fact that we’ll most likely never get another Mad Max movie from George Miller because of this makes me wanna cry
