@CinemaTweets1 I couldn't disagree more with everything you've put here. Go watch it and make your minds up people! 'Nuff said.

It pains me to write that I unfortunately didn’t find Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die (🌟🌟) to be an enjoyable viewing experience. I say this as someone who absolutely loves Sam Rockwell & director Gore Verbinski. I also say this as someone who’s desperately looking for reasons to positively promote cinema. But my number one objective in running this account is to maintain credibility with those who read my reviews. All of that is to say I can’t in good faith recommend this movie because I found the story unoriginal, the filmmaking fake, and the acting underwhelming. The story here follows Sam Rockwell, who plays a man from the future that is now visiting a diner in Los Angeles for the 117th time. Why? Rockwell’s time traveling, bomb-strapped, fast-talking “future man” is recruiting a team of random, average folk to help Rockwell fight against phone addiction and AI takeover. The story sort of dovetails into multiple threads that give us backstories on the patrons Rockwell recruits on his 117th trip, while also synthesizing these backstories with Rockwells present mission- which is, as I mentioned, to break the societal phone addiction & impending AI takeover. Gore Verbinski’s filmography has an incredibly wide range: the highs are high & the lows are low. On one side of the spectrum, films like Pirates of the Caribbean & Rango (which won Gore an Oscar) demonstrate that when Verbinski gets it right, few in the industry are better. Films like The Lone Ranger or even The Mexican might suggest that Verbinski’s “floor” can go a little lower than you’d expect. But that massive range within Verbinski’s filmography is a good sign to me because it’s a sign that he’s a director who’s always willing to take risks- even if it results in films that don’t meet expectations. Such is the case with Verbinski’s latest. He takes risks here, but most don’t pay off. For starters, the story here is just way too straightforward & way too in-your-face. As if I’m not already exhausted enough from listening to every talking head on cable TV scare us into how bad our phones are for us, mixed with every think-piece in the world that lectures us on how AI will replace our jobs & end our lives. I get it: the world is in a fucked up state. But this story sort of hits you over the head with the obvious over & over & over again. For example, Rockwell’s opening monologue in the diner of startled patrons is totally forgettable. I didn’t find it funny or clever in any real way & instead it felt like a Boomer screaming up at the sky about how our phones & AI are ruining everything. We already know they’re ruining everything. Say something more interesting about where we are or give us something to chew on- don’t just complain endlessly with no meaning. It’s not just that the story is incredibly obnoxious, unoriginal & lacking any semblance of strong writing, it’s that the filmmaking is also extremely disappointing. The lighting & production design in this entire film caught my attention because I couldn’t ignore how bad everything looked. Not a single set, not a single scene, looked like it was shot anywhere but on a soundstage in Burbank. Nothing about the filmmaking- nothing about the camerawork- interested me. I found the editing borderline distracting, including & especially during Rockwell’s monologues, in which we were deprived of basically any continuous shot- it was just constant cutting. And mixed within subpar writing & poor filmmaking is just flat-out bad acting. That includes Sam Rockwell. I’ve long admired Rockwell’s body of work & I think that when he wants to be, he’s one of the best actors in the industry. But this performance was- dare I say- corny. I also think every actor in this film suffered from the aforementioned fake filmmaking. You could feel actors in this movie acting against green screens and fake backdrops. I think at a certain point, too much technology in the making of a film hurts the actors. This is one example. If you’re reading this review, I would skip this film.

For all the advances in filmmaking, this Citizen Kane (1941) shot still feels untouchable.

You think you've aged poorly? This is what's left of the screen-used stop-motion Book of the Dead from the EVIL DEAD II opening titles. The latex cover skin has deteriorated, leaving behind only this gnarly monster visage. Estimated to sell for between $20k - $40k next month!

What's so amazing about Jim Henson as a puppeteer is that he could literally be explaining that Kermit is made out of felt and ping pong balls and yet Kermit still feels alive the whole time he's doing it!

@MattAllsopp1 Lovely stuff!!

Had the pleasure of doing some concept work for Dan Trachtenberg's 'Predator Badlands'. Which was awesome as 'Predator' is in my top 5 films of all time! One early task involved concepting the new super powerloader. Hats off to Fausto DeMartini for modelling this up from the sketch! Dan did a great job on the movie, and ill share more down the line... #PredatorBadlands #conceptart #powerloader #Aliens

This looks amazing!

The opening titles to the BBC's coverage of the #WinterOlympics isn't computer or hand drawn - it's actually a stop motion animation using models and real flames #BBColympics #MilanCortina2026

I Photoshop Paddington into a movie, TV show, or pop culture until I forget: Day 1777

@AllertonJj I had to rewind the show as I thought @RebeccaTromans1 had lost the plot when she told me about this!

@ErickLorinc I'd totally forgotten this movie existed!

Woke up with power and the hotel tv playing Son of Godzilla, so we’re vibing now

Goddamit Planes, Trains and Automobiles. That look on John Candy's face gets me every time! Every single time! The way he captures heartbreak and hope in a single expression is pure magic.

@pascalblanche Worked for me. This is beautiful!

REENTRY| Plunging through reentry, a lone astronaut clings to fragments of another life. This short was made in my garage with no budget, no crew, and NO AI. I retaught myself basic VFX compositing in After Effects, and put many hours into making this a fully-human-made piece that I could be proud of. Special thanks to my wife and children for putting up with the process and making a few guest appearances. I hope it connects for you! If it does, a share or a repost would mean the world :) Many thanks! - Scott #FilmTwitter #shortfilm #astronaut
