It was a joy to see the restoration of Mikey and Nicky (with the grain expressly left undiminished) last night at @FilmLinc and the aptly festive talk with Elaine May and Julian Schlossberg that followed; very moving to know that she and her films are, at long last, celebrated...
INDEPENDENCE DAY 2 is a really funny snapshot of 2016. The shameless pandering to the Chinese market, the random Hemsworth, the wild overestimation of how much nostalgia there is for the source material. We were young, once.
landlord is $4,000 behind on his personal payments to the apartment and is asking me to pay $2400 as advance rent for August and September by today to avoid his nonpayment issues in court.
LITERALLY, WTAF DID HE DO WITH ALL THE MONEY IVE BEEN PAYING
watched ROBOCOP for the first time since I was 10 and the scene where he dreams and rediscovers his humanity, proof he can not be fully automatized, is one of the most unexpectedly moving things i've seen in a movie this year
From writer-director Bassam Tariq, YOUR MOTHER YOUR MOTHER YOUR MOTHER, starring Academy Award winner Mahershala Ali. In select theaters September 25, everywhere October.
Everyone is exhausted by mediocre, formulaic superhero movies because the average moviegoer has seen enough of these to notice when they're being fed the same thing over and over again. Supergirl is just the latest symptom of an industry wide problem that's not going anywhere
My dad sent me a ChatGPT generated picture of him driving a truck (he owns a truck) and I tried convincing him that if he’s gonna use AI to at least makes images that can’t happen in real life so he sent a picture of me visiting for the holidays
Just saw Jackass: Best and Last. One of the funniest movies I’ve seen, and as a 40-something who has seen pretty much every minute of Jackass in real time, and then repeatedly after, it was a love letter to this group of people that we all love so much.
I grew up in LA and was 15 when the show debuted, so basically its target audience. I wanted to live vicariously through them.
Come to find out over the following 25 years that all of those men are some of the kindest, funniest people around.
What a body of work, what a movie. Thanks for the memories @jackassworld
Tom Cruise shot the Burj Khalifa scene in Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol without knowing why his character was on the building
“I didn't know why I was on the side of the Burj. I was like, we'll figure that out later. Problems for another day, problems for another day.”
“I said, 'Well, what is it? Red light means it won't stick anymore. And blue means it sticks and I can go up the wall and climb the whole thing.' And he just, without even a breath, he goes, 'Oh, well, how blue is glue, red is dead.'”
“And proceeded to write the rest of the scene. And they were like, Brad and Simon like, 'Who is that guy?' I was like, 'Oh yeah, it's McQ, he's gonna write the rest of the movie.'”
“He proceeded to write the film in the other room and he'd write it and we'd shoot it right there. That's how movies are made. You just keep going until it's right. And you never, ever give up.”
there’s a moment in disclosure day where the bad guys send a fleet of cars out and they’re told to go “maximum legal speed”. me n my friend kept muttering that all night. GO!! the fate of the world depends on it! MAXIMUM LEGAL SPEED!!!

also, if that is supposed to be Bruce Willis in 2025 post-diagnosis then this is insanely ghoulish shit — like the company you worship is legitimately evil, dude
