Among many other things, I love how SHIN GODZILLA could be a stealth live-action Nausicaä prequel.
Getting a lot of 'Star Wars prequel’ vibes from this, says guy watching Ben-Hur who has only ever seen the Star Wars prequels and about 3000 other movies.
Do you think that's the same Grumple from the ice show? Because I do.
Hawke and Hamm is it. If I ever meet one of them I'm going to suggest they make this together.
My wife and I have multiple running shared lists where we recast franchises with a little twist: an all American Harry Potter; the Ocean's movies but no one is older than 30; a brand new, OG-run MCU.
I'd watch Hawke as Gus and Hamm as Call. Hawke is loquacious. Hamm can be laconic. They could both carry the humor well too.
Yeah! Damon and Affleck have been doing that for years. Affleck would be a good Call with anyone. The best Affleck roles are the ones where he doesn't have to talk much.
Ooh! That's good!
That would be kind of great. McConaughey definitely seems a little older than him and that's how it should be between Gus and Call. Schroder also has a little Alan Ladd about him, and that's my older era actor casting for Call.
People seemed older then than they do now. But maybe it’s just that I was a lot younger.
I’m reading Lonesome Dove and trying to cast it with new actors so I can stop seeing Duvall & Jones in my head, perfect as they are. I’ve decided Matthew McConaughey works great as Gus, but I’m having trouble recasting Call. Believe it or not, McConaughey is the same age Duvall was in the series.

Every song ever recorded is available to you almost instantly for next to no money but the fidelity is garbage and also we've removed all headphone jacks from your listening devices.
I understand how these ice skaters get started spinning but I don’t understand how they stop.
Confession: I’ve been watching people do skateboard, snowboard, and ski tricks for my entire life, and every trick looks exactly the same to me.
Yes! It’s the world’s worst influencer Airbnb.

Let the reader understand.
Every Frame A Painting has a great video about Edgar Wright that might be helpful. It’s been years since I watched it but I recall it touching on that. The video is about editing, but that’s really what a good needle drop is, in large part.
Ah. You speak of the sequel.
They don't teach you this in schools but under Abraham Lincoln's hat there was a little rat making him do things.
In our latest Sight and Sound 100 conversation, @kphipps3000.bsky.social and I talk about Carl Dreyer's ORDET, a miraculous film about a miracle: thereveal.film/48-tie-ordet...
NOPE is perfect. It's one of those movies with exquisite mise-en-scène. @larsenonfilm.bsky.social needs to do it for Cinema Interruptus.
When I was in junior high and high school our youth group would have a Super Bowl party but the youth pastor would turn off the TV during the commercials and the half time show. After two years of that my brother and I stopped attending the youth group Super Bowl party.
That’s on my “only read big books” list for this year.
LIFE OF PI is such an incredible 3D experience. I have a home theater set-up that allows it, and I’m so happy to be able to see it that way again.
It might!
You'd think, but then they tack on three minutes of credits in all languages to the end of every episode. If they were going for short attention spans, you'd think they'd nix those.
