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.

I tell you what, between the bad reception of Ebenezer (plus the baffling decisions they made with the movie) and the whole mess going on with DC. Things are looking quite bad. This is only the beginning with Skydance, things are about to get 100x worse.

So cool seeing a filmmaker as accomplished as M. Night being so open and sincere about his creative process. How can you not love this guy
It's now been a couple weeks since starting the outline for my next movie after @remainmovie and I am 50% done with the first draft of the outline.

"If we keep punishing people for accidentally arriving somewhere somebody else has already been, eventually we’re going to frighten the creativity out of everyone." purr agree
Robbie Williams defends Olivia Rodrigo after she was accused of copying his song “Candy” with “take me home (4 christmas)”: “Artists deserve to be protected. But there’s a difference between protecting your work and treating every vaguely familiar sequence of notes as a winning lottery ticket. It sounds to me as though she may have accidentally stumbled across a musical echo of mine in one of her new songs. And do you know what? I couldn’t care less. I don’t know whether there’s technically a publishing issue, a copyright issue, or no issue whatsoever. And I don’t want to know. I’m not going after her. Because I think at some point, some f**king sanity has to prevail […] We all stand on the shoulders of people who came before us. Sometimes consciously. Sometimes without even knowing it. That’s how music works. If we keep punishing people for accidentally arriving somewhere somebody else has already been, eventually we’re going to frighten the creativity out of everyone.”

Replying to @KnightOfCups47
the film almost seems to pretend like because he was gay then he should be forgiven for being a fascist, it's very strange

Criterion is not for casuals like you (nothing wrong with casuals btw) Criterion is for people who love movies, the art of making movies, and preserving history. So much goes into Criterion releases beyond the movie. There are hours and hours of BTS features for each release

Did you see everything you wanted to see in October? We did! From Nathan Fielder's magnum opus to the divisive Sebastian Stan & Renate Reinsve vehicle Fjord, Mike Flanagan's underwhelming Carrie adaptation, DC's latest in Clayface, and more. youtube.com/live/AwyerKH5Fng…

Been playing with this app for a minute and it’s already becoming one of my favorites things to use on this damn phone.
So I recently badgered my cinematographer @steveyedlin into making my ideal iPhone still camera app. It shoots RAW, bypasses the iPhone's look processing and instead uses the same image processing we use on our movies. apps.apple.com/app/apple-sto…

When the first episode ends with a feather menacingly floating to the ground and I’m supposed to pretend this medium is worth saving

The idea of Pattinson taking a break from filming The Batman: Part II and doing press for Dune: Part 3 to talk to this man is way too funny of a prospect, I know Robert would say yes if his reps let him just to be a messy diva.
Robert Pattinson…have a seat with me!

This is why Nolan had to explain what Zeus law was and reiterate it 5 times in the first 20 minutes.
Just rewatched Dune and MAN, I forgot how much of a drag Chani is. Just scene after scene of pouting and scowling while Paul unites her people and heroically leads them to victory over the outworlders that have plagued them for centuries. Truly the wettest of blankets.

This is a quote about this from my interview with Javier Bardem.
Jane Schoenbrun talking about how we go watch revolutions in movies and then go home and do nothing & moderator clocking that’s the plot of digger and Jane saying “unfortunately it is the plot of digger”

Amanda calls this out seconds later. Watching her grapple with her responsibility as a storyteller was fascinating. Watching her interract with the real life cost of her work, & then proceed to portray her again, an example of our compulsion for stories, no matter their cost.
grossest part is when Seyfried, who went Liz’s home, played with her children & believed she was a victim being manipulated IMMEDIATELY throwing her under the bus and shit talking her when confronted by the fact that she may have harmed her. Type of bitch to say “Im a girls girl”
