I wrote about Mortal Kombat, Malignant, and The Matrix: Resurrections and why I think they're some of the most interesting films to come out this year.

Ti West says that Scrooge uses logic & good arguments against others in his movie ‘EBENEZER’.

“As his Scrooge cuts someone down verbally or as he makes a financial point or withdraws, you do understand why he’s doing it.”

The most disturbing thing Travis Bickle does in Taxi Driver is buy popcorn and a bunch of candy at the porn theater concession stand.

@ushigoroshi89 At this point I think it’d be funnier to have the match go 10 minutes and then have Ospreay get pinned after the V-Trigger

Gotta love the commentary team of @WWEGraves
@reymysterio and @JCLayfield on @luchalibreaaa — more commentators should mark out like crazy when they see someone pull off a corkscrew Frankensteiner

@kiddbanditpro It would be hard to do a face stable this way since one of the best ways to get heel heat is “have a romantic partner”

Walked by a barber shop and saw the barber watching “Buzz Cuts: Step-by-Step” on YouTube

The play is also premiering in Stratford-Upon-Avon, which is like the Westerosi equivalent of important plot stuff happening in like Riverrun or White Harbor

[largest rodent @capybaroness]

ASOIAF fans getting our first hit of new story/lore in 15 years and it's not only ambiguously canon but also being relayed entirely in missives from across the sea describing a play that only a few hundred people have seen. we have suffered more than anyone in history.

Rewatching the 2004 Van Helsing. One has to imagine the other vampire elders are kind of annoyed that Dracula got a bunch of them killed with a sun bomb at their fun Halloween party

Insomniac's ‘WOLVERINE’ is set in a world where the X-Men doesn’t exist.

• Wolverine, Mystique & Sabertooth form Team X with Nathanial Essex to protect mutants

• Bolivar Trask & Trask Industries are the main villains - Lady Deathstrike also features as the leader of The Hand

@johnkatsanakis I do worry there’s a secondary market issue for movie theaters now too. Seems like everything is up for grabs for speculators to buy up and sell off.

[Connor Mannion @FiletMannion]

Maybe I’m spoiled from watching Hoyte van Hoytema-shot films but I feel like big budget filmmaking has for the most part completely forgotten how to shoot darkness

If I lived in Nolan’s Ancient Greece I would abuse Zeus’s Law so badly. I wouldn’t even have a job. I’d just constantly be turning up to people’s houses

@CarbonHelium Odysseus’ crew: we must respect the gods
Odysseus’ crew when the gods have clearly laid out a trap to kill them:

[Connor Mannion @FiletMannion]

IMO everyone Telemachus said was Athena in disguise was in fact the goddess in disguise.

This includes Odysseus — who has Athena with him even if no one can see her. Just reading Telemachus as naive misses the point the film is making about belief

[ٰ @dazedlewis]

anyone saying zendaya isn’t playing athena, just odyssey’s manifestation of guilt and that no gods appear in the film is just really missing the mark here
