@aaminahinfilm The Stranger is ravishing, especially if you can still find it in a cinema! Wish people were talking about it more tbh

realised i still need to fit in rose of nevada and the stranger this week! i’ve seen rave reviews for rose of nevada, but not much for the stranger

So you wait your whole life for a horror film about liminal corridors with lots of yellow, and then two come along at once?

seeing the backrooms film in the odeon in Manchester would be absolutely terrifying

New posters for ‘THE BACKROOMS’ movie. Trailer releases tomorrow.

The father imposing a robot child on his wife, and then getting mad when she starts feeling maternal towards it... A.I. anticipated so many elements of the techbro mindset, discovering it this week was essential for me

just saw Spielberg's AI for the first time in theaters. buddy. that was the saddest movie i've ever watched ever. i loved it
English
@ChrisG_TSU Having seen it for the first time this week (in the cinema) A.I. is the film we all need right now. Nationwide re-release would have been lovely
English
I know these are all Universal films, but It would be nice if Odeon mixed it up a bit, and screened A.I for the 25th anniversary, as well as something like Hook

Last week I saw A.I. for the first time (at an Odeon, coincidentally) and it completely broke me. Turns out this Spielberg guy is pretty good

Ad Astra remains the best (and most overlooked) space movie of the century. the vast expanse of space reflected within the depth of the human psyche. feels like a world worth saving. dazzling, but never ostentatious. optimistic, but schmaltz-free; never mistaken for "hopecore".

I was a huge fan of Steve Coogan, Rob Brydon, and Michael Winterbottom’s THE TRIP films, but now I’m watching the full TV series versions of them on the @criterionchannl, and it is dawning on me that this is one of the great artistic accomplishments of the century.
English
@AdequateEmily I wrote my undergrad dissertation on almost exactly this subject! Seen together with Amour, it's a career-spanning culmination (not a retread) - and Rogowski rules so hard
English
One day I’ll make a video on how Happy End is a brilliant film where Haneke purposefully satirizes plotlines from his own career in a darkly comic fashion, and most just didn’t get it because they tried to watch it like it was Benny’s Video, but for now…it’s underrated.
English
Saw someone say there’s a karaoke scene in Project Hail Mary and by law, after hearing the topic I must post my own favorite karaoke scene in film history.
English
Or: an adaptation of the Kate Bush song, rather than the book (and none the worse for it)
vox lex@gretagerwigflew
“wuthering heights” is a blast if u watch it from a more 10 things i hate about you, she’s the man, etc perspective rather than the literal original material 😭
English
@inoelshikari @vuecinemas And for £18 you can get a whole month of films at HOME. Surely (beyond the IMAX) this will just drive people elsewhere?
English
The @vuecinemas in the Printworks have raised the prices of the seats again! £17.99 for something they are calling Ultra Lux? They are the same seats that used to cost £12.99! What’s the reason for a £5 increase. It’s disgusting.

Once again searching for a hopeful future for cinemas, in @indie_pendent:

By extension, I'm bemused by people saying the latest is the best because it's the most about the humans; the infected have always been a backdrop: a catalyst and a threat, but not the dramatic centre of any of the 4

I think the people who say 28 Years Later is boring only want to see zombie kills and hype moments and don't realize that that's never what the franchise has been about
English
No no no... it's clear now, there's a curse on early January. Devastating

Any film which features a Christmas party as a significant plot point is a Christmas film.
Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy? Christmas film.
Goodfellas? Christmas film.
LA Confidential? CHRISTMAS FILM.

had high hopes for Wake Up Dead Man, and they were exceeded. I feel insanely biased, though, as a lapsed Catholic who loves impeccably crafted locked-room mysteries & murder at the vicarage. imho the funniest, most poignant, and maybe prettiest Benoit Blanc entry yet @rianjohnson

A+++ needle drop for the end of Wake Up Dead Man
