That was a dope ass letter. 

That doesn’t even really sound all that much like legalese. That sounds like Tom’s estate is telling her that he would hate her and everything she represents, and implying that they hate her too.

The original film worked so well because it was built around the idea of who owns history, who gets to tell it and how it can be misused. There are a lot of ways to go from there, but space is definitively not one of those places. I can think of a lot of villains in the 1960s who very much wanted to distort history.…

I have no problem with killing James Bond in No Time to Die, but that movie sucks. The action is breathtaking, but the whole opening sequence completely undoes all the growth Craig’s Bond goes through over the previous four films and resets him to a brooding, closed off, brute. There’s no emotional reward for any of…

FTFY.

Talking about Y2K like it was somehow overblown is ignorant and naïve. Y2K was real. It didn’t solve itself. And it didn’t get solved by bloggers.

Win-win situation: we won’t get to know everyone’s random thoughts, and Musk loses several billion.

They’re good but they’re very much a formula- which isn’t necessarily bad either, there are other examples of studios doing something similar, such as Universal’s horror films.

I saw it in IMAX and thought it was so dull. Nonexistent storytelling, dull dialogue, and I found the flight sequences impressive but not actually engrossing. The ending was so predictable that it actually made me angry that it’s what they went with.

IMHO, it was a bit too predictable and rote as a coming-of-age story, but had some stunningly beautiful visuals and a couple of scenes that really worked. I’d put it on the low end of Pixar’s oeuvre, but at worst I’d describe it as “just OK”.

Was The Good Dinosaur a total misfire? I thought it was a low-key charming movie that just didn’t reach the heights of golden-age Pixar. Seems better than Onward, fwiw.

He might have strengthened his case if  Top Gun: Maverick weren’t basically a super-hero film. I mean, not capes and tights, but the superheroics were in full effect.

Dammit. I hate agreeing with Tarantino.

I can understand him ranking the present decade and the 80s low, but I’m surprised he isn’t a bigger fan of the 50s. I know we tend to remember the pop culture of previous decades far more for their stand-outs than the run-of-the-mill stuff, but as a film maker who prefers tightly written scripts over spectacle, I’m…

Kinda weird that his two top picks that he loved are a legacy sequel to a big blockbuster propoganda action film, and yet another remake of a well-trod musical.

Fixed it for you.

Nice to know the insane “work ethic” in this country affects all rungs of the ladder.
