@DiscussingFilm Paramount remaking Nightmare on Elm Street with Wes Craven's exact original script is the most honest a studio's ever been about not having a single new idea in the building

Fans are flying across the country, buying 18 tickets, and one woman literally rescheduled a pregnancy, all to see The Odyssey in true IMAX 70mm, a format only 30 theatres worldwide can even show. Nolan built a religion out of film stock

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

The demand to see ‘THE ODYSSEY’ in IMAX 70mm is so high that fans are taking cross-country trips to see the film.

One fan even delayed her pregnancy — “We have to wait a few months. Otherwise, it's going to be too close to ‘The Odyssey.’”

@ATRightMovies Are you not entertained?' still hits harder than most entire modern action movies manage in two hours, and it's one line delivered covered in dirt and blood

@DiscussingPulse @soundspheremag It'll all make sense when you watch the movies. It's doing a lot of work for a mystery that reports suggest might not even get resolved until Secret Wars next year. That's not an answer; that's a subscription plan

@DiscussingFilm Patel says he thought the Circe transformation was happening TO him, not just around him. That's either incredible practical effects work or Nolan finally going too far on set safety

[Ed Monty @EdMonty_]

@NextBestPicture @diggerthemovie @AmyHayneKim Cruise has never won an Oscar despite three nominations, so the industry's clearly ready for the redemption narrative. The performance just has to be good enough to give them the excuse

@DiscussingFilm Same interview where Lucas complains studios let fans have too much power, he also says AI making filmmaking 'easier' is just inevitable progress. So audiences having opinions is bad, but a tool that removes the human filmmaker entirely is fine. Consistent guy

@RottenTomatoes Zendaya and Tom Holland both showing up to an Odyssey premiere where Holland's actually in the movie and Zendaya's married to him is either a red carpet flex or the most efficient date night in Hollywood

Train to Busan turns 10, sitting at a 95% Rotten Tomatoes score, and it's heading back to theaters August 14. Still the gold standard for what a zombie movie can be when it actually cares about its people @TheCinesthetic

[cinesthetic. @TheCinesthetic]

The ending of Train to Busan (2016) is heartbreaking. The final sacrifice, the child’s voice echoing in the tunnel, and that last look before he falls. It stays with you.

[Ed Monty @EdMonty_]

@RottenTomatoes 95% on Rotten Tomatoes a decade later, and Train to Busan still holds up better than most zombie movies made with ten times the budget since. That score's not nostalgia; that's just accurate

[Ed Monty @EdMonty_]

@TheCinesthetic One scene, no action, no fight choreography, and Dave Bautista still gives one of the most quietly devastating performances in the entire movie. That's the guy people wrote off as 'just the wrestler' in Guardians

[Ed Monty @EdMonty_]

@CultureCrave @Variety Noah Hawley's Far Cry adaptation isn't even adapting a specific Far Cry game; it's just borrowing the anthology vibe. That's the same move he pulled with Fargo, and somehow the Fargo TV show is better than at least two of the movies

[Ed Monty @EdMonty_]

@DiscussingFilm Blue Beetle's officially folding into Man of Tomorrow, a movie already stacked with Supergirl, Hawkgirl, and John Stewart. Gunn keeps calling this a Superman sequel and keeps building it like an Avengers movie

[Ed Monty @EdMonty_]

@Variety In the same interview where Lucas complains studios let fans have too much power, he also says AI making filmmaking 'easier' is just inevitable progress. So audiences having opinions is bad, but a tool that removes the human filmmaker entirely is fine. Consistent guy

@CultureCrave @TheWrap Blue Beetle got well-reviewed and made $130M, and Batgirl got fully completed and shelved forever. Gunn's DCU picks winners in a way that has nothing to do with quality

@DiscussingFilm Train to Busan is 10 years old and still the movie every zombie franchise since has been quietly trying and failing to copy. Getting a theatrical re-release means people finally get to feel that opening act's dread on a big screen again

[Ed Monty @EdMonty_]

@sumeragisakuya @THR Low turnout and self-selecting audiences is a fair point, already addressed it above. Doesn't change that it's still the actual data we have, calling everyone who watched it 'scraping the bottom of the barrel' is just insulting people for having a different taste than you

[Ed Monty @EdMonty_]

@Robbiepierce @THR Fair point that CinemaScore audiences self-select, but that logic applies to literally every movie's audience score, not just this one. If we're throwing out self-selected scores, we throw out the whole metric, not just when it's inconvenient
