Bay's best by a country mile and one of my all time favorite films. Happy 30th!

[The Sting @TheStingisBack]

The Rock turns 30 today, and the urban legends about the film are wild.

Connery is an older Bond in The Rock. Fun theory which I like, but the Connery had a cabin built and stayed on Alcatraz story is bull... he slept at the Hyatt Regency.

Chem weapons were “verified” by the military. Nope, the opposite happened.

Nic Cage “banned from action movies” before making The Rock. No, but there was real scepticism, so he chased roles to prove himself.

It was written solely by three people. Not really. It was massively overhauled by Tarantino, Aaron Sorkin, even Dick Clement & Ian La Frenais (the writer's of porridge) were pulled in to punch up Connery’s lines.

“An actor nearly died”. Wrong again. During the SF balcony stunt, horrified locals called the cops thinking an actual murder was happening in the hotel.

What is true is that it’s one of the best action films of the 90s.

And Connery’s last line here (and “An act of looneyshe”) is perfect.

My #1 takeaway on the whole below the line payment conversation is that more indie movies should follow the Sing Sing model. https://t.co/rtnQvYM9jc

I think this is the most exciting part about these films (I'm admittedly NOT a horror fan) but the fact that new YOUNG filmmakers are going to show up and have this collective theater experience and hopefully walking out inspired is incredible.

[Luke Barnett @LukeBarnett]

Somewhere out there a 14 year old is sneaking into Backrooms or Obsession and it’s going to create a forever love and appreciation of horror movies. As someone who knows that feeling well, it makes me very happy.

@mexopolis The work of all artists (including you) will be better off - AI is not inevitable. It has been overpromising and underdelivering from the start and no matter the "cost cutting" it supposedly provides - that will never be enough to make making films in Hollywood any easier.

Meiselas: Katie Miller has been posting about you. I want to give you the opportunity right now to respond. What do you want to say to her?

Paulina Mangubat, Content and Creative Director for @TheDemocrats: I want Katie Miller to know that her husband is an ugly fuck.

SPRINTED out of a very late director review on my own stuff and made it JUST in time for my screening. Bonus fun to have crew in the audience. Bonkers great stuff - power to the workers forever!!!

I Love Boosters.
In Theaters May 22nd.

[Nicole Acevedo @Carving_Light]

If we can't have the indepth DVD extras anymore (nowadays they are really hit or miss depending on the release) these are great accessible starting points for learning about film.

[Boots Riley @BootsRiley]

We worked with @Panavision to talk about I Love Boosters, the process of getting the big, bold, colors, and why it HAS to be seen on a big screen.

somewhere out there, theres a dude making 45k a year and he absolutely believes this nonsense down to the bone

#Cannes jury president Park Chan-wook says "I don’t think politics and art should be divided."

" I think it’s a strange concept to think that they’re in conflict with each other. Just because a work of art has a political statement, it should not be considered an enemy of art. At the same time, just because a film is not making a political statement, that film should not be ignored. Even if we are to make a brilliant political statement, if it’s not expressed artfully enough, it would just be propaganda. So what I want to say is that art and politics are not concepts that are in conflict with each other, as long as they are artistically expressed, they are valuable."

This game came out the day my dad was diagnosed with end stage lung and brain cancer. You cannot understand how much this experience with a world of strangers who moved with you has shaped me.

I'm tired of seeing mixtape discourse, what are your favorite games with minimal gameplay and/or no fail states?

"Hello daddy. I hope you are OK. Tell everyone from my class hello."

here's some of what I saw and learned this week when I visited the Dilley ICE family detention center in Texas.

[Lina Khan @linamkhan]

Terrific piece by @MarkRuffalo and @matthewstoller explaining how extreme market concentration breeds fear and silence, and how the growing effort to stop the Paramount merger exemplifies courage, solidarity, and the importance of pushing back.

@FilmThePoliceLA Shocking how unprepared she is to respond to these batshit points from Pratt.
