why would they intentionally post this??
I disagree entirely. It needs to be hyped up as the biggest award show on the planet going forward. All eyes on it. And NEVER give him one. It will truly burn his insides. It’s what he really wants in this world. Let’s keep taking that away.
1. It's been more than a day since 2 of America's most storied newsrooms, CBS and ABC, reported that killer ICE agent Jon Ross suffered "internal bleeding" based on unnamed sources
Since then
- No other news org has confirmed the story
- No evidence (photos, medical records) has been produced
Hard disagree. Even Steve McQueen would be better than Redford. But Brando’s madness elevates the material. He’s the broken down shark in Jaws. The film would be nowhere near as compelling without the workarounds they came up with.
I miss having shared cultutal moments that aren't traumatic.
Dare accepted!
Excellent news that Guillermo del Toro’s NIGHTMARE ALLEY is getting a Criterion Collection release, which will include both color & black-and-white versions. One of my favorites of his. It features a biting, alluring performance by Bradley Cooper. The final shot is brilliant. @criterion.bsky.social
You are correct. It is his masterpiece. And I’ve been lucky enough to inform both GDT and Bradley Cooper of this fact.

Deliveroo CEO recently claimed that Deliveroo is “saving dinner time” and believes eating in a restaurant is “an outmoded idea for most people”.
How is it today after all these years I’ve realised it’s the comedy genius Jerry Zucker who directed Ghost? 👻
“Pro-life”
!["About Sam Raimi. I was very impressed with him. I liked his work, and I found he was a man with a big passion for film. He gave me a lot of great respect and support in many ways. Like, I had never known that movie stars in Hollywood had so much power! They had final cut approval, final draft approval, lots of final approvals! And I was so shocked because in Hong Kong the director is everything. The director has so much freedom to do whatever he wants! So while I was cutting the film with my editor, Bob Murawski, [Van Damme] wanted to do another cut with the chief editor from the studio behind my back. Of course, I was so upset, you know. “It’s not right! This is my movie, I should do my own cut!” And Sam wasn’t happy as well, so he arranged a big meeting. He got together all the producers and the editor and he was screaming in the meeting! “This is a John Woo movie! Let John do his work!” And he made everybody back off, and I was so grateful. And then a couple years later I found out the reason the studio wanted him on the set: They had asked him to watch over me in case I had any kind of problem, like I couldn’t do a scene or had difficulty communicating with my actors, and [the studio] would have him take over the job. And Sam would have never done that, and would have never wanted to do that! Every time he would come on the set, he just came in a few times to ask me to dinner, and we’d have a great time having drinks and talking about movies and exchanging experience. I was so glad on my first Hollywood movie to have such a great friend. And aside from him, his partner Rob Tapert, [producer] Sean Daniel, [producer] Jim Jacks, [screenwriter] Chuck Pfarrer, they were all on my side. They tried to make me feel comfortable to do my own work."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:57to4anm3kiw2kmo2mudl7fn/bafkreie5jkg5hvwx64cayrcb4tpdrrvpp7kwxr5tnc2o3iqprezwgthlqa@jpeg)

went through a big JCVD phase last year and while I was researching Hard Target, I found an interview with John Woo where he discusses what it was like working with Sam Raimi on that set. it's become one of my all-time favorite behind-the-scenes stories.
“Erin Brockovich wouldn’t get made today; Traffic wouldn’t get made. Unless you get Timothée Chalamet who, god bless him, seems to be interested in doing different kinds of movies. But that window is getting smaller and smaller for filmmakers to climb through.”
A movie that takes place where you’re from 🎬
A light blue diagram depicting the sea, with the water's surface at the top, and just below it is an outline of the Mary Rose, with the depth (12m, 40ft or 6.7 fathoms). There is a line showing the seabed, which takes a rapid dive into the vertical...
On the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, we thought we'd answer a question that's often asked,
"If they raised the Mary Rose, why not raise the Titanic?"
Allow our scaled diagram to explain...
This is so funny
I just watched this tonight. It’s his best film in years.
This sounds like something I need to see!
val kilmer’s turn in TOP SECRET is one of the single best comedy performances ever committed to film, both in terms of comic precision and mechanical virtuosity. just watch this whole clip in its entirety; it’s stunning
I forgot I bought this DVD to listen for this very commentary track. I shall do so in honour of a brilliant artist. Then perhaps followed by a Top Secret - Batman Forever - Heat chaser.
Back when I was a kid you didn't need Joe Rogan. Your best friend had a 27 year-old brother who was a fucking loser who would smoke pot in a room with blacklight posters and tell you that the Mayans invented cell phones.

Statement by Starmer on showing adolescence
You know what I’d call for if I was prime minister - more funding of youth clubs , extracurricular activities, and mental health support - but showing a film looks like concern while costing very little
It’s taken less than 48 hours to go from WhiskiLeaks to Instant Methenger.
referring to pete hegseth as whiskeyleaks is one of the funniest things i’ve seen in a while. good job, guys.
They already have one of those in Guantanamo.
The Art of the Deal
The fact that Musk has lost $100B over the last month but is still the wealthiest person on Earth and financially unharmed in the slightest—all while wealth and income inequality is worse now than it was after the Great Depression—is Exhibit A on why we need to tax billionaires out of existence.
