I watched the short film that has Joe Russo's panties in an uproar, and it really is quite terrible. Insufferable, faux-intellectual, wannabe profound baby's first movie bullshit.
Typically, what I want from new movies is that they are directed by Johnnie To. The sooner we get back to that, the sooner we will find peace.

Really wish they kept Billy Cole’s original scripted line before he shoots himself in the head: “I’m going to Disneyland!”

New Ep! This week on the podcast, we discuss the man, the myth, the mustache: Steve Barkett! Join us as we discuss the only two films he ever made: THE AFTERMATH and EMPIRE OF THE DARK. Enjoy. optimismvaccine.com/episode/the-ma…
The Baby of Mâcon (1993, Peter Greenaway) Now, normally I wouldn't do this - and in doing so I know it will just entice more of you to watch it - but be forewarned that the final 30 minutes are horrifying and deeply unpleasant. Alright then, take care: mega.nz/folder/n19H1By…
No matter where I go, the strays will find me.
This looks very cool.

His mind is a black hole where all intellectual and truly comedic thoughts are sucked into the vortex and the only jokes that survive amount to vacuous speculation like: “What if Hugh Jackman played a Dragon Ball character and Superman fought him?” Truly confounding to witness.
What if Superman entered the Dragon Ball universe and had to fight Vegeta? 🤣
I think a genuine element here is, even though most people don't give a crap about film format, when cinema went digital there really is nothing to distinguish between going out vs staying in. Cinema is bigger & louder sure, but the trade-off of cost & crowds, who cares?
The Fall Guy’s box office has me asking the question posed in this headline. It is not rhetorical. I genuinely want to know, because I feel like I have no clue. screencrush.com/why-did-the-fa…

@JakeTropila These types of people are infuriating…
Got the big box from @FilmsRadiance.
She’s out now and the surgery went great! They didn’t even have to put her under completely and she’s already having the hospital pudding and demanding cigarettes. We are so back!
Some bad news. I just found out my grandmother fell again last night and broke her hip. She’s going into surgery now. I talked to her before she went in and she’s in a lot of pain. Would appreciate some good energy sent her way ❤️
My favorite Obayashi, and particularly timely considering its depiction of the ways in which students engage with the often confounding world around them and the closing moments, one of the most powerful political gestures I've ever seen in a film.
Nobuhiko Obayashi's Beijing Watermelon is being restored in 2K and released in select theatres by @kani_releasing! Did we know about this?!

@JakeTropila The original line is superior, but the replacement better fits the mean-as-piss ethos of the finished film.
funny how these sorts of Joel Silver/Bruckheimer-Simpson type productions used to be considered the death of cinema, too slick and cut too fast, and now they look like a damn Caravaggio compared to the dreck we get today (Beverly Hills Cop 2 has the juice, too)
Watching The Last Boy Scout again and I got to wondering if any other movies in the last 30 years have even come close to matching this iconic opening sequence?
Not to be a bitch but this is musty bc there literally would be no show without him and if it were in my hands it would be an hour of screaming every episode and we would drop an ep once every 3.5 months and only talk about Denzel Washington movies
@HitFactoryPod Aaron, as an avid listener of the podcast, I can assure you: You’re consistently incisive and considered in your movie analysis. You’ve even changed my perspective a few times on movies I didn’t initially care for! ♥️
@HitFactoryPod Aaron take solace in the fact you never once thought Glup Shitto was a real guy because that’s a cross I will have to carry for the rest of my life.
@JakeTropila Really good actually! On a bit of a high atm
