Five indie filmmakers on the day jobs they’ve worked to pay the bills, sacrifices they’ve made to pursue their labors of love, and a devolving industry that feels more unsustainable every day. https://t.co/F0BwJBrZIO

THE COMPLETE KUBRICK 📕 Thirteen films, one singular collection. https://t.co/1ACK3GTiaD

Introducing THE COMPLETE KUBRICK: an unprecedented box set bringing together Stanley Kubrick’s entire directorial output for the first time. A titan of cinema whose influence extends across visual art, philosophy, politics, technology, fashion, and beyond, Kubrick created an unparalleled string of masterpieces. Over the years, his body of work has been collected on home video only in partial form, never as a whole—until now.

Movie of the decade may be incoming

[Cinema Solace @SolaceCinema]

Barry Jenkins’ ‘BE MY BABY’ may begin filming this Fall.

Starring Zendaya as Ronnie Spector.

[Richard Brody @tnyfrontrow]

Disclosure Day is Steven Spielberg's first late film; where he usually plays to the crowd and hedges his bets, here he's self-revealing and reckless, emphatic and unabashedly strange; his own pleasure in making it comes through clearly, and I share in it:

One of the sickest short films out there, absolutely cannot wait for this!

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

Keanu Reeves will star as the lead in Masashi Kawamura's stop-motion animated film ‘HIDARI’.

The film will be a feature adaption of this short:

Current top 5 from just two listens:

1. What’s wrong with me
2. Stupid Song
3. U + Me = <3
4. My Way
5. Drop Dead

List will almost definitely change on another listen

[Marz @FromMarz22]

The new Olivia Rodrigo is pretty great, I’m loving it!

[Marz @FromMarz22]

This is genuinely insane, never thought this would happen honestly

[Wolfman's Got Nards @WolfmansGotNard]

Not only did Obsession release a week before Star Wars, but it's showing in 1700 less screens and it's STILL beating it.

I've never seen anything like this.

[Marz @FromMarz22]

Farum Azula was incredible to explore, a big step up from Mountain tops, which I found kinda boring outside of the interesting lore details.

I don’t think referencing old films or old art is all that artistically meaningful by itself. Also old films weren’t old or as old when filmmakers used to reference them.

[jesse @darthgordita]

filmmakers used to reference old films or much older pieces of art now the nearest reference they can reach for is a horror film made less than 10 years ago

[Marz @FromMarz22]

I’m also very confused as to why anyone would like a movie

[catherine @satinchaitiu]

what is this like insane appraisal of this movie Obsession coming from? like everyone was so hyped for what looks to me a very bland and basic modern horror lol

[Marz @FromMarz22]

Subterranean underground probably had some of my favorite room layouts but fighting the Omen over and over really grated on me 😭

Mohg was an incredibly boss though.

[Marz @FromMarz22]

@browndwarf6 One of my absolute favorites!

@Morgan_Scape @musk_eli_balo @firagawalkwthme @Neoconker2k8 Like simple gameplay mechanics can be profoundly impactful if accompanied by a certain context. That’s a beautiful part of gaming to me, it can affect you in so many ways through so many distinct approaches.

[Marz @FromMarz22]

@Morgan_Scape @musk_eli_balo @firagawalkwthme @Neoconker2k8 You’re still interacting with and engaging with the story/characters in a way that’s pretty unique to an interactive medium and can’t be replicated by watching someone else play.

[Marz @FromMarz22]

@musk_eli_balo @firagawalkwthme @Neoconker2k8 But the movie reacts to your input, you essentially get to play as one of the characters in the “movie”. If you just watch someone else play it, you don’t really get that experience.

[Marz @FromMarz22]

I think if people embraced more diverse styles of “gameplay” it would greatly benefit everyone, the medium and the people who partake in it.

[Marz @FromMarz22]

Don’t understand why any type of interactive art must pass a certain gameplay threshold to be considered worthwhile. An interactive movie sounds like a fun idea! We don’t have to call it a game if that’s the issue, but the belief it’s inherently lesser just seems closed minded.

[Epic Mike @The_Epic_Mike]

This is a huge problem in gaming right now. A bunch of theater kids who couldnt break into Hollywood got jobs writing for game studios.

But they dont give a shit about video games, they wanted to make movies.

There is nothing wrong with games wanting to be cinematic but it has to be combined with good gameplay and most of these games are unplayable or glorified cut scene simulators.
