Jupiter Ascending rules, but if you disagree then congrats, it lost money and was critically reviled on release. What do you gain from dunking on it a decade later? Funny to call Alien3 bad by using what has become the most iconic shot in the franchise... www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv...

Hollywood idiots getting riled up about The Zone of Interest only *after* it wins 2 Oscars is pretty funny timing. There are no take-backs! But there are millions of Americans who don't read Variety but do go see movies bc they won Oscars

POOR THINGS is a movie for sick bitches and it would be weird if everyone liked it. But simplifying it to a "movie made by a man about female desire" is like...so dumb?

The critical dumping on Argylle makes me feel like not many people saw The King's Man. Good for them, but my reaction to Argylle was basically "well it's not the worst movie I've ever seen, so it's better than Matthew Vaughn's last!"

Flashbacks, dreams and fantasy sequences had been in the movies since the 1890s. This is old school outdated film class garbage meant to cover over BOAN’s sins. (Thomas Dixon, who wrote the novel, bragged about this in writing: claim art and innovation to push the film’s message.)

I've always felt dubious of the idea that DW Griffith's virulent racism must be balanced against his "invention" of core cinematic techniques. This is a great refutation of his claims, proving that like most Confederate apologists, Griffith was just a blowhard www.splingmovies.com/2021/09/what...

Every ad for a new TV show during the Emmys commercial breaks comes off like a 30 Rock joke

What can you say about the fact that it only rains in winter now? It's annoying to bring up in conversation bc hey, not like any of us can do anything about it, but it's also crazy-making to just totally ignore this fundamental change in the weather within our lifetime

The extent to which Clarence Thomas is just "the other Jeffrey Lebowski" is really quite uncanny.

Hollywood execs firing the star of Scream and trying to blacklist Tom Cruise's agent are not doing so *in spite* of the popular support for a ceasefire in Gaza, but *because* of it. They're trying to create a climate of fear so people will be too scared to even talk about what is happening

I feel like we're really missing the major Bad Discourse Opportunity that would have come with the release of Dune II in the middle of a nascent intifada and imperial reprisal.

Best description of this website yet
