Indiana Jones 5 hahahahahaha!

Sad but not totally surprising, since they both have such distinctive creative voices and seem to know what they want to do early on in their projects (both Fleabag and Atlanta are remarkably assured from the jump).  Like Scorsese making a movie with the Coens, you both want to see it and kind of understand why it…

I disagree that he even “sounded” crass and disrespectful, he sounded fine if you don’t accidentally misinterpret his meaning.

Trying to do the math—

Sam knows that. He admitted as such later in the article. He was just being a shit.

Chapek is a piece of shit, but he wasn’t being crass or disrespectful. He was talking about the “experiment” of releasing a major tentpole solely in the theaters in the middle of a pandemic instead of doing the split paid online/theatrical model, which they have been doing all year.

I felt that if anyone could pull it off, it would be Denis Villeneuve. I have enjoyed every movie he has made. I didn’t think a sequel to Blade Runner could equal the original, and yet he did IMO. Granted this is only one review, so I will be curious what other critics will say. I will definitely sit in a theater maske…

I will happily wear a mask for 2 hours and 35 minutes to go see this on a big screen. Can't wait.

Only Murders in the Building is a delight. If someone said “Write the perfect role for Martin Short” I suspect this would have been the part that would emerge from that exercise. Also, Selena Gomez is a wonderful cutting diamond  as Mabel, and whoever is responsible for her wardrobe should get whatever costume design…

Always a good time to relate that in grad school I was one of the TAs for a course this dude was taking (this was back in his Chet Haze days). He would routinely roll into lecture 15-20 minutes late, sit about three rows back from the front, put his Wayfarers on (put them on, he hadn’t been wearing them on the way…

a “mysterious force” has knocked the moon out of orbit and sent it “hurtling on a collision course with life as we know it.”

This trailer sucks

Speaking of streaming services.

TIME AFTER TIME is on HBO Max. I couldn’t believe it. Have you ever seen it? I hadn’t seen it in ages. I watched it last night and it still holds up. It grabs you. The plot centers around author, H.G. Wells who invents a time machine in the 19th century. Jack the Ripper steals it and…

The anthology i snow Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet Of Curiosities

The Russo Brothers may not have as much of a signature style as some directors but their super power is tying plot to character, and when it matters meaning subverting expectations and tropes. They made Captain America cool, and I don’t think it’s an accident that Black Panther is at his most badass in Civil War just…

I’m basically in complete agreement but with the one side note of along with absolutely inspired casting choices, you have to add hiring interesting directors which they’ve been doing for almost a decade. The Russo Brothers were not an obvious choice to direct the Winter Soldier as much as we might love the Community…
