Film romance is either a hand being held for the first time or a health and safety incident. No middle ground.

[Chapo🗣️ @FugaziReturn]

Been watching first frost and early springs recently

And the difference between how love is portrayed in both film is crazy,one is more mature and the sexual chemistry is off the roof

The other is more about innocent romance,that even the woman is just getting used to physical touch

And it makes me realize nothing will be pure love to me,love that just feel pure >>>>

A hitman having to deal with an actual monster is a very good bit of business.

[Macarah @Macarah160692]

Aurora hires her hitman neighbor to take care of a monster problem under the bed. When the titular dust bunny finally shows its fuzzy face, it is a glorious quirky fantasy. Despite the R-rating, it has cartoonish/whimsical energy rather than graphic gore.

Now I want to see the Fine Young Cannibals bit, which feels like the whole film in miniature.

Doomsday ★★½
"In the land of the infected, the immune man is king."
You’d think I watched Doomsday to get ready for one of the year’s biggest blockbusters, also called Doomsday. Nope. I was on my 54th viewing of The Terminator, got distracted, forgot to turn off autoplay, and this just started.
It’s my first revisit since the cinema. In 2008, I was ridiculously hyped. I loved Dog Soldiers and The Descent, thought Neil Marshall could do no wrong, and dragged friends along. This was supposed to be it.
It should probably sit near the top of my most disappointing films list. Marshall had spent years making sharp genre films on tight budgets, where good scripts and clever filmmaking mattered. Then he got a much bigger canvas, and Doomsday feels like what happens when nobody tells a director to stop.
The film is Mad Max, Escape from New York, Resident Evil, Underworld and even a bit of King Arthur dumped into a blender, plus a few bizarre needle drops. There’s even a scene where cannibals dance to Fine Young Cannibals’ “Good Thing”. I’m probably the only person who fully appreciated that.
Eighteen years later, it’s nowhere near as terrible as I remembered. It’s dumb, insane and wildly overstuffed, but there’s something admirable about how committed it is to its own batshitness. The practical effects, gore and bigger action beats still have some punch, even when the editing feels like someone was being paid by the cut.
The real problem is that there are simply too many ideas and not enough film to develop any of them. The characters are thin, the plot is full of holes, and the whole thing plays like a director was handed a blank cheque and spent every penny on the craziest thought that crossed his mind.
Still not a good film, but I had more fun with it than expected. Maybe I’ve grown kinder in my old age. Either way, it earns an extra star than what I gave it in 2008.

Getting old varnish out of the little grooves on a chair leg is atrocious work.

[Lovlin2494 @Lovlin24941]

There's something reassuring about a director who doesn't suddenly get embarrassed by their own ending.

[David not Goliath @David_Da_Boss]

Dare I say this movie gets better every time I revisit it? My first viewing was probably my least favorite, but the more scenes I rewatch and the more I think about what Zach Cregger was doing, the more the movie grows on me.

Look at the endings of Weapons and Barbarian. Zach isn’t afraid to actually show you the monster. He doesn’t spend the entire movie building toward something only to pull the camera away when it’s finally time to reveal it. He commits. A lot of directors play it safe because they know a bold third act can divide an audience, but Zach seems willing to take that risk. He’ll put the ending out there exactly as he sees it, even if some people hate it.

And honestly, that’s what I like about him. Give me a director who takes a swing and gives me an ending I might hate over a director who plays it so safe that there’s barely a climax at all. At least Zach is willing to go there.

[Lovlin2494 @Lovlin24941]

I'd be livid too, no career can stay on hold indefinitely for one film.

[Geek Vibes Nation @GeekVibesNation]

Mahershala Ali says Marvel’s ‘BLADE’ delays forced him to pass on other roles because the project “owned my schedule.”

“I trained so hard I blew my knee out... I literally moved my family to Atlanta, we’re there waiting to go then they just kept pushing it back.”

Always refreshing when a film trusts its images to do the talking

[Diji @dijiaderogba]

~ My Father’s Shadow’s cinematography is just toooo good! I can’t get enough of it. This film is a proper example of show more and talk less. Proper cinema!

[Lovlin2494 @Lovlin24941]

Still one of the very best horror anthologies out there. The practical effects hold up remarkably well.

[𝙱𝙴 𝙰𝙵𝚁𝙰𝙸𝙳 @BeAfraid_Movies]

Just watched Tales from the Hood for the first time and wow, I've been missing out for the past 30 years. This was creepy, funny, original, deep, and ahead of its time. The practical effects and kills were outstanding as well as some very memorable acting. Must-see horror. 10/10

[Lovlin2494 @Lovlin24941]

Measuring every new Austen production against 1995 is almost unfair, but Ang Lee and Emma Thompson set such a high bar for balancing sharp drawing-room wit with real melancholy. A more pensive angle is interesting if the script actually gives the humor room to breathe

[David Rooney @DavidCRooney1]

Fine work from Daisy Edgar-Jones and George MacKay distinguishes this pensive take on Jane Austen's SENSE AND SENSIBILITY but it can't escape the long shadow of Ang Lee and Emma Thompson's captivating 1995 film in either humor or heart. My @THR review.

Finding real emotional texture and vulnerability inside huge franchise blockbusters is rare, but Pugh consistently manages to keep Yelena feeling grounded rather than cartoonish

[jannik @Goldenstories2]

I just Rewatched Thunderbolts and I feel like Florence Pugh as Yelena is beyond perfect. What a beautiful HUMAN performance 😮‍💨🖤

Beef in Phantom of the Paradise is one of those lightning-in-a-bottle comedic turns where every gesture and vocal inflection lands at maximum volume without derailing the rest of the film. An all-time great cult performance

[edgarwright @edgarwright]

Am most saddened to hear of the death of the actor Gerrit Graham. He burns up the screen so fabulously in an all-time favourite film of mine, Phantom of the Paradise, that I can’t think of him without picturing the ill-fated, flamboyant glam rocker Beef.

I also greatly enjoyed Gerrit’s performances in Brian De Palma’s Greetings and Hi, Mom! (alongside a young Robert De Niro), as well as Cannonball!, Demon Seed, TerrorVision, Chopping Mall and the supremely underrated Used Cars.

But his role as Beef in Phantom of the Paradise is simply off-the-charts amazing. He’s a constant joy, from his unforgettable line readings to those insane dance moves. It’s a joyously outrageous performance in a film that raises the roof with its sheer energy. If you haven’t yet discovered this solid-gold cult classic, I urge you to pay tribute at the altar of Beef as soon as you can.

Here’s to you, Gerrit, scene-stealer par excellence. We’re all sending salutations from the other side.

Long live Beef!

crazy how it takes an nfl quarterback step in just for kids to have basic ac in school

[CBS Philadelphia @CBSPhiladelphia]

"I can imagine you guys would like ACs":

Northeast High School is getting a new HVAC system as part of an initiative from the Jalen Hurts Foundation to help keep Philadelphia schools cool.

Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts spoke at Northeast High School Tuesday morning as his foundation donated a $600,000 HVAC unit to the school.

Hurts said the initiative started after seeing schools close because of extreme heat and a lack of AC in their buildings.
