On the enduring appeal of Twister.

Why People Love ‘Twister’ Has Little to Do With the Movie Itselfscreencrush.com This movie has become a ’90s classic. But is it because of the movie of what it represents?

I hope you left a good tip. (Sorry.)

@mattsinger.bsky.social, I just made a server at a diner very uncomfortable as she was trying to refill my coffee and I was crying for Roger Ebert at the end of Opposable Thumbs. Damn, man.

I can finally announce that I'm doing some intros at NY's Film Forum for their Blaxploitation series next month! Come see all the bad mother shut your mouths and buy a copy of my book "Black Caesars and Foxy Cleopatras: A History of Blaxploitation Cinema," too! www.indiewire.com/news/festiva...

Broken-hearted writing this one. What an incredible talent, not just as an actress, but as a producer of classic family friendly but incredibly hip shows like Faerie Tale Theater (which I talk about at some length). RIP Shelley Duvall. t.co/WKVAAyy0Qy

Shelley Duvall Stood Outt.co No one looked like her. No one sounded like her. No one thought like her. And everyone in Hollywood knew it.

Say what you will about Bill Paxton's amusement park attraction pre-show performance, in the actual movie TWISTER he plays the F5 tornado with absolute conviction.

With Twisters spinning our way, it‘s important that everyone acknowledge the single best part of the original Twister’s legacy: Bill Paxton’s astounding performance in the long-retired Twister Universal Studios ride.

15 years later, on the verge of their reunion, is it time to reconsider Deadpool & Wolverine’s first meeting in X-Men Origins: Wolverine? (Spoiler Alert: No, it is not. Although, interestingly, there is one good thing in it...)

When Deadpool and Wolverine Met in One of the Worst Marvel Movies Everscreencrush.com 15 years before the epic MCU teamup, one movie almost destroyed the Deadpool franchise before it even got started.

I get that it is a movie reference in this case, and I can respect that. But I do not like it.

The best thing to happen yesterday (a low bar to clear but still) was a dog named Peanut Butter winning a game of SNES Ken Griffey Baseball in under 30 minutes at the Games Done Quick convention -- in a 12th inning walkoff, no less.

This week’s episode of The Acolyte was the one I was waiting for — not just from this show but from a lot of middling Star Wars over the years.

I thought there *was* a zero star rating and I was just too nice to use it. I feel like this should bump up a few of my one stars to 1.5 (This article is funny you should read it)

The heat is still on? The heat is still on!

‘Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F’ Review: The Heat Is On Againscreencrush.com Improbably, 30 years after the last movie, Eddie Murphy has made a pretty good ‘Cop’ sequel.

Something I didn’t notice the first time in Inside Out 2: In Riley’s Mom’s Headquarters it’s Sadness that’s the largest emotion and the one in control of the console instead of Joy. Low-key one of the most soul-crushing things I’ve seen in a movie in a while!
