Part-time realist, part-time aspiring screenwriter. No longer writing films only in my head.

Have you seen this @Brodeyy_51 ?

[Cinephile @Arts_Channel]

Watched Lenny. Another stunner by Bob Fosse. How the heck did Fosse go from elite dancer and choreographer to elite director? What a talent.

I have big lists on @letterboxd. They take a long time to load, I assume because of ads. Like, minutes. Nearly unusable. Pls fix, friends at letterboxd. Thx.

[Cinephile @Arts_Channel]

@IMDBartlett I agree.

[Cinephile @Arts_Channel]

Jackie Brown is elite Tatantino, not minor Tarantino.

[Quentin Tarantino Universe @TarantinoWorld]

Jackie Brown (1997) is often treated like “minor Tarantino,” but it might be his most mature film. Here’s a thread on why it hits so differently.

1/ It is the only Tarantino film that is an adaptation.

What's your favorite First Watch of 2026 so far?

I heard this quote once. It's pretty accurate, IMO.

[Scott Myers @GoIntoTheStory]

David Lynch: "Get ideas for seventy scenes. Put them on three-by-five cards. As soon as you have seventy, you have a feature film." #screenwriting

[Cinephile @Arts_Channel]

@Brodeyy_51 I get what you mean. Everyone needs affirmation that their work has value. I'm trying to stay in a learning mindset. Keep getting better.

[Cinephile @Arts_Channel]

@Ksav2246 Haven't seen Oz.

[Cinephile @Arts_Channel]

Name any fictional character you hate.

I'll start. Todd from BB.

[Cinephile @Arts_Channel]

@Brodeyy_51 Most of the time, no, but I think there is a "hard watch" exception. I can fit a 90 min comedy that requires little mental bandwidth into my day much easier than a 150 min philosophical sci-fi film.

[Cinephile @Arts_Channel]

I think this movie poster represents my creative North Star, even above any Kubrick or Tarkovsky film.

[Cinephile @Arts_Channel]

Criterion just announced they'll release Hud on 7/14. Nice.

[Cinephile @Arts_Channel]

Kagemusha. Kurosawa.

[cinesthetic. @TheCinesthetic]

The opening scene of Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992) is pure art.
