@trouble_man90 The real conversation is what happened to John boyega’s career.

He hasn’t been blacklisted, he’s in a cult now.

@FreddyInSpace @joerussotweets I think it just threw people off that IGN used the pitchfork method of publishing a contrarian type review for the sake of engagement.

@joerussotweets I don't think a review can be objectively wrong, and it's odd to see anyone arguing otherwise. But fair enough!

I don’t think this IGN HOKUM review is an attack on people who like it, it’s just… objectively wrong. Even if you HATED it, the movie is way more competent than a 4 out of 10.

@C05M1C57R4N63R That’s just it. Why would I sit through this bullshit when I could hop on YouTube and watch the real thing. I understand why they weren’t able to tackle the difficult stuff but without that it really cheapens it to a lifetime movie. Spike knows the family of coarse he co-signed.

it’s so funny that the main defense of this movie has been “the movie ends in ‘88 before the pedo stuff! let people enjoy things!” when all that others are asking for is an actual movie and not disconnected youtube shorts movie clips about michael jackson stitched into two hours

@worldofreel He even said it…he knew Michael personally. He knows the family. No matter how dogshit this movie was gunna be spike was gunna co-sign it.

SPIKE LEE defends MICHAEL, slams critics over complaints “I’ve saw it twice. Loved it [..] First off, if you’re a critic and you complain about this stuff [..] you’re critiquing the film based on what you want included, but it doesn’t fit the timeline” tinyurl.com/bdfxxu39

@deckedoutmag @CNN The thing is why woudnt I just go on YouTube and watch all the iconic moments as they actually happened. If you ain’t gunna tackle the hard shit there’s no point in making a movie about the guy.

@IndieWire @ArrowFilmsVideo Good movie except for the footage of an actual kangaroo massacre.

@ATRightMovies Aww he doesn’t seem so bad lol

Years after Robert Shaw's passing, his JAWS co-star Richard Dreyfuss met his granddaughter and got very emotional.

@sheezy_t He’l dox the alchemist project but release this bs

Another sound of his they gonna call trash and then you’ll see a resurgence of other rappers doing it 5 years later

@consequence Side effects may include cheating on your wife.

Dave Grohl has shared the secret to having no vocal cord issues: beer, whiskey, Advil, more whiskey, more beer. "Maybe eight years ago, I had to go get my vocal cords checked out and I'd never done that. And the [doctor] sticks the camera down into my throat. And he looks at my vocal cords and he goes, 'Wow, they look great." And I said, 'You're kidding.' He said, "No, they look amazing. Do you do vocal warm-ups?" I said, 'No, I don't.' And he goes, 'OK, do you do like vocal cooldowns after a show?' I said, 'No.' And he said, 'Well, what do you do before a gig?' I said, 'Honestly? An hour before the show, I'll open a beer and I'll start drinking the beer. I might take an Advil because my knees hurt, my ankles hurt — whatever I'm old. Then I'll have a shot of whiskey. And then once the beer is done, I'll open another beer. Then we'll maybe have a group shot of whiskey, which we call 'band prayer.' Then someone will say '15 minutes' and I open one more beer and have one more shot and then hit the stage.' And my doctor said, 'Just don't change what you're doing. It's working.' And I was like, 'OK, great.'" (via Dish Podcast) 📸: Kevin Mazur/WireImage

@sbirlios Kamloopsian here. Please explain because I love stopping in hope.

Not a city but Hope, BC is the most sinister place I have ever been to. Terrifying town.

@danceyrselfdean I don’t think they’re terrible but mentioning them in the same sentence as the beach boys is asking for a fight.

Kevin Parker is so out of the range of everyone else here. idk what God is. but You Made Me Realize and In My Room are better than every Tame Impala song. terrible band

@TheDougFiles Really wanna check this out can’t seem to find a version that isn’t dubbed though.

Kept seeing this hailed as “German true detective”. And while it has some of those vibes, I wasn’t expecting it to kind of become Manhunter partway through the season. The modern Dollarhyde absolutely WOULD be a tech savvy incel type

@CinemaTweets1 Did not think it was possible to outshit little fockers but here we are.

BREAKING: The trailer for Focker-In-Law just dropped. Robert De Niro & Ben Stiller are back. I couldn’t be more excited. I love all 3 of these films & can’t wait for this to come out in November. I also love that Ariana Grande is in this- she can absolutely act. So ready for this

@JumboCarnation I just remember 2 ppl banging in the cube then theyr discovered later all mummified still in position floating around. Shit fucked me up as a kid.

You guys ever see the movie Cube

@DannyDrinksWine Wait so he was actually? ….what the fuck.

Abel Ferrara explains how Harvey Keitel completely changed the "Comedic" tone of "Bad Lieutenant" (1992) to a "nightmarish" tone because of his breakup with Lorraine Bracco: "Interviewer: Many people think of that film as your masterpiece. Had you ever worked with Keitel before then? Ferrara: : I didn't know him from Adam. Christopher Walken was supposed to play the part of the lieutenant. Then he says, "You know, I don't think I'm right for it." Which is, you know, a fine thing to say, unless it's three weeks from when you're supposed to start shooting. It definitely caught me by surprise. It put me in terminal shock, actually. Interviewer: Are you saying that Keitel prepared for that role in three weeks? Ferrara: Actually, when we gave him the script the first time he read about five pages and threw it in the garbage. Luckily, Victor Argo, the actor, convinced him to give it a second chance. So in a way, Walken's leaving was good timing. Because right at that point in his life, Harvey really needed an opportunity to play a lead role. He needed to work on something he could relate to. And this film came around right as he was splitting up with his wife, Lorraine Bracco. She had just gotten nominated for an Academy Award for 'Goodfellas' (1990). And up till then, he'd basically dedicated his life to her career — he'd practically retired from acting to help her — and suddenly she takes off with the director! He was in total agony. Interviewer: It certainly comes through. Ferrara: Let me tell you. When people break up with the love of their life, it's always traumatic. But with Harvey, everything is the most traumatic. So that was the most traumatic breakup in the history of the world. And you see it in the movie. Originally, 'Bad Lieutenant' wasn't written to be quite as nightmarish and hellish – originally it had some humor in it. Interviewer: Can you give me an example of how it changed with Keitel in the lead? Ferrara: Take the scene where he pulls over the two girls in their father's car. With Walken as the lead, the lieutenant was going to end up dancing in the streets with the girls as the sun came up. They'd be wearing his gun belt and hat, and they'd have the radio on, you know what I mean? But oh my god, Harvey, he turned it into this whole other thing. Interviewer: In the movie, he forces the girls to talk dirty while he m@sturb@tes in the driver's window. Ferrara: Yeah, he just whipped it out. And that was his live-in babysitter in the car! I said, "You sure you want to do this with your babysitter?" He says, "Yeah, I want to try something." [laughs] Interviewer: Did you consider that shocking at the time? Ferrara: I didn't even know it happened! One take. 'Bad Lieutenant' was a low-budget movie - we didn't even have video assists. Interviewer: So you were lucky to have the camera at the right angle. Ferrara: I know. God forbid he moved an inch. But that's what's great about guys like Harvey and Chris. Try taking the camera off them — they were born in frame." (Abel Ferrara's interview with Cory Reynolds, 2002) P.S: On this day, 34 years ago, "Bad Lieutenant" (1992) premiered at the Broadway Screening Room, New York.

@fandompulse Nah. It’s boring without nuance. It’s fine to have the odd character that’s just a straight symbol of evil. But most of the time readers want to know why characters are the way they are.

Brian Jacques explains why he does not have sympathetic villains in his Redwall series: "When I was a boy, morality was taught in school and in church but I think that is no longer true to the extent that it used to be. I try to create very clear moral signposts of what is right and what is wrong. The children who read my books are generally at an age where they need to have things spelled out in 'black and white,' without ambiguity. I often tell my readers that my baddies are bad and my goodies are good. I won't have sympathetic baddies and schizophrenic goodies in my books." Should more writers do this?

@stillnewtwallen Everything other than 1 and 2 sucks.

Someone told me Tonight that the Scream sequels are better than anything Lucio Fulci ever did. And I literally choked on my own rage.

@FilmUpdates This hasn’t even entered production yet?? Damn I’ve been waiting years for the next Panos.

Wagner Moura will now star opposite Kristen Stewart in vampire thriller ‘FLESH OF THE GODS,’ from director Panos Cosmatos. A24 has joined the project as the U.S. distributor.

@richie_rich77 You caught half a Covid.

@CatrinFeelings Let this and the web series be 2 different things. Skinamarink/outwaters fell flat for me because they put all of their eggs in 1 basket. I’d like to see a more balanced narrative structure that goes off the rails in the latter half.
