@metaplexmovies Highly recommend Michael Gillespie’s Film Blackness. Asks us to attend to film’s form and aesthetics and to understand film as an expressive medium through which different expressions of race (for example) are negotiated. I tell students to focus on “how” rather than “what”

@DrewTailored Salty over some salt.

Words have meaning. Emily Wilson should know that “Black best friend” isn’t a label to throw around. This paragraph lacks refinement and is racist in the way she reduces these actors to what they’re clearly not.

If she sees them as that, then that’s a reflection of her.

@ThatMoviePage The sound of Arnie snatching the sunglasses! 😎

@TheRealMattC I think of it as his Tony Scott movie.

90’s dads were like “ yeah my six year old can handle terminator 2: judgment day “

@zoerosebryant Need a shirt that says “I’m a PTA dad” with Bob Ferguson on it.

Kid on a scooter yelled “6,7” at me while I passed him in my neighborhood with the windows down. I immediately responded “8-year olds, dude.” Two generations operating on their own planes.

@leucocrystal I have the 05 limited edition 2-disc DVD with a similar cover featuring the globe on fire.

@Pureevilbich Wish we could get a commentary track on Dead Reckoning. I think the strikes interfered with that happening. Glad to see they’re back for this one!

Excited to share my chat in @TheBrooklynRail with @prof_alopez on her new book Reel Freedom from @TempleUnivPress

@verybrookie “It’s only pain” is a physical manifestation that doesn’t get to Ethan. But the emotional toll of the Entity’s plan, its future, shakes Ethan to his core.

@driftershunt We need to get a keychain of Cruise and McQ in a motorcycle with a side car ala what McQ says in the Empire podcast (not the spoiler special). He says Tom would never be in the sidecar, but I think that would be really cool as a keychain.

@metaplexmovies @DrewTailored Also we’re assuming people will gather in big groups across all three holidays and not plan/have time to devote to some kind of programming, which many do on 2/3 of those holidays (movie theaters and sporting events Thanksgiving and Christmas).

[Edward Mendez @E_M_Charles]

@metaplexmovies @DrewTailored That’s assuming viewers tuning in are giving or trying to give their undivided attention. Who is to say people are “watching” in the manner you speak of (which I get because I do)? I’m thinking about viewing practices and how people “watch” shows

@HighUniversal @Park_Journey Does the tram even go down Wisteria Lane anymore? I haven’t in awhile. It would be nice to revisit. And BFL is fundamental to the Studio Tour’s aura. Best thing Shawn Levy has given to this world.
