saw They Shall Not Grow Old during its big expansion this weekend and it blew me away. Highly recommend to any history nerds out there and most runs of the film seem to have a making-of attached to after the credits where Peter Jackson walks you through how they restored and preserved century old footage which was asto…

True Stories. It’s been so surreal to see it gain a steady following alongside the recent Criterion release because for nearly 20 years it was my own little film few knew about that I constantly put on as something of a comfort or to have on in the background. I could probably recite all of David Byrne’s observational …

Low hanging fruit by now when you could have easily made fun of Mortal Engines instead.

I’ll again stick up for the guy. He wanted to produce the thing but was more or less shifted into Director when Del Toro bailed and it’s clear WB wanted a franchise so he had to cobble together what he could to get a trilogy that…

Glad to see Terry putting this jackass in his place. He’s a good dude and he’s been a strong voice on this powerful subject. Back when I used to work Soarin’ at Disneyland he was one of the few celebrity passengers I ever got but he was genuinely friendly to me as I directed his family into the ride and gave me a warm…

it’s cool that the kids of famous people are set for life in this industry!

I chalk that up to Whedon not giving a shit and wanting to make a sequel to only his movie rather than everything that happened in between 2012 and 2015. I remember reading his response to IM:3 after Shane Black showed him a cut was along the lines of “well NOW what do I do?” I guess the answer was just act like it…

Outrageous>Good seems to be Harmony Korine’s M&O

it was always gonna be a longshot. they might have had a snowball’s chance up until the plot twist probably made it too nuts for even the most open-minded academy voter

Stanton’s been working live action tv lately. did a few eps of Stranger Things I believe

i know you can’t physically shove a quote into a locker, but I have genuine malice towards the line “why are you wearing that dumb human suit”

he had an interview where he kinda stuck up for John Lasseter and said stuff like he wants to go to a world where people aren’t as senstive about stuff like, y’know, sexual harassment. i don’t know if it’ll really rattle any chains outside the animation community but it might have a hand in the Academy distancing thems…

Eighth Grade deserved more love akin to Juno. Happy to see Spidey is in the anim category and maybe Brad Bird’s dopey comments yesterday sealed its fate in being the winner this year. First Man getting snubbed for the movie directed by a pedo and a white savior pic is unsurprising but still frustrating. Also similar…

I hate to go a bit grim here, but considering the amount of shootings we have in this country it would soon be impossible to find any date that doesn’t align with some gun-related tragedy

Prove me wrong, America! Prove me wrong!

so if you see a Hunchback
why not take him out to lunch, Jack?

Thank you for being a hunch!

holy shit i’m so tired all of a sudden

it’s stuff like this why cemetery upkeep, burials, funeral services, and coffins being so damn expensive baffles me. it’s like you can’t even leave the mortal shackles of this earth without people you know owing a lot of money in some fashion. I think graves take up so much space for something that’s a natural part of…

I think I might actually stick with the Hulu doc. Apparently the Netflix one was produced by Fuck Jerry Media or whatever who did the promotion for the event so they’ve got their hands in the cookie jar as much as anyone else. They clearly want us to empathize with the “influencers” who were stranded in this disaster…

a big win for the Church of Scientology!

“Wrestler turned action star with hundreds of millions of dollars thinks people are being overly offended by his Jumanji co-star saying he’d physically beat his kid for being gay as a joke”

her performance is great but I always felt there are points where the film didn’t know what to do with her. It always bugged me when she sells out Batman to Bane and Batman goes “you’re going to regret this”

But she never really...does?
