I would add Wes Anderson to this too! He’s been a double edged sword for me as “Moonrise Kingdom”, “Grand Budapest Hotel”, and “Fantastic Mr. Fox” were all very influential for me, but sometimes I get caught thinking about how intricate I would make a frame, or how precise I would want the acting to be or the story to…

These all sound fantastic. I’ve loved fantasy since I was a kid, but it’s always been difficult to feel comfortable telling smaller magical stories, so I’m putting “Portrait of Jennie” on a soon-to-watch list!

Thank you so much! A lot of advice here that I’m writing down before I lose it! :)

Awesome! It’s sometimes hard to see something older in a theater around where I live, but the Harkins and art museum nearby does classic movie nights, which I am definitely taking advantage of this summer.

Absolutely not annoying! I’ve actually been doing that quite a bit. I’m a huge fan of Austin Kleon, and his books “Steal Like an Artist” and “Show Your Work” have been super helpful to me. I’ve begun taking a journal with me everywhere and trying to always have a book I’m reading.

So, I got a subscription to Filmstruck for my birthday...three months before it went bust. I’m planning on becoming a filmmaker, and watching Breathless and Chungking Express on Filmstruck were really enlightening and inspiring for a high schooler to watch. I’m really excited for the Criterion Channel to come out this…

Woah there.

Godard has already signed on to direct the “Rocket Raccoon” solo film, which will actually be two hours of a raccoon crawling around in his backyard shed.

Fool! I watched all my MCU movies in French with English subtitles! Who’s the really cinema appreciator now?!

While I do admit the movie has some problems with stereotyping with Mantis (which Lindsay mentions), it is also one of the better discussions of toxic masculinity and familial abuse, which I think is super important. I don’t think a lot of people like to admit that toxic masculinity exists in nerdier groups, but I’ve…

You’re welcome! 

Got a few minutes to realize you might be a little overzealous there?

In other news, J.J. Abrams will be making “Brothers Bloom 2: Electric Boogaloo”, but Rian Johnson will be back for “Brothers Bloom 3: Resurrection”.

(insert commenter name here), I find that disrespectful and would prefer you stop insulting my creative genius.

Mr. Gun is my oc from seventh grade whose limbs were all replaced by artillery following a horrible accident at the NRA convention.

Spin-off speculation!

At least Roma got best foreign film. I still think Favourite or BlackkKlansman (a film that handled racism MUCH, MUCH better) should have won. But I did cheer when Lee got best adapted screenplay, and him wrapped around Samuel L. Jackson made my night.

Dude, did Olivia Colman kill your dog or something?

Actually, I was convinced to try KU’s film program after I found out Willmont teaches there!

I mean...not really? But cool comment I guess.
