“there’s so much love in this house”
hit this scene in Minority Report and just started crying
Cruise’s reaction plus Samantha Morton’s delivery - so so moving
Spielberg should teach a class on how to do a story about grief that’s not miserable
Move to LA where you don’t have to use Fandango or the AMC app to get hotly anticipated movie tickets for new releases playing in premium formats in historical movie palaces
Nothing made me more unexpectedly emotional than when Andor’s series finale credit score shifted into the classic John Williams Star Wars fanfare credit music
That emotional bomb of a finale and then it reminds you that it’s all a part of the galaxy far, far away.
I saw this movie three times in theaters, and every time the whole audience clapped for every cast member in the credit run like a Broadway curtain call, with straight up cheers for Cruise
Watched EDDINGTON again with my wife; all the extant and compelling discourse notwithstanding I think we can all agree Joaquin Phoenix plays "guy getting and wilfully ignoring an obvious respiratory infection" very well, top-notch nostril control
Andor is the rare prequel where the knowledge of where the story ends makes the experience of watching so much richer. Knowing most of the characters you’re watching and bonding with are doomed is what adds this palpable weight to every single exchange. Tony Gilroy is a master.
George Lucas deserves more credit as a writer because he planted some sturdy seeds that exceptionally stronger writers, like Tony Gilroy and Rian Johnson, tended into a garden
Major bonus tonight at @tcm Film Festival: They screened the One Battle After Another trailer in VistaVision 35mm before their VistaVision double bill of ‘We’re No Angels’ and ‘Gunfight at the O.K. Corral.’
On this day in 1994, TCM went on the air for the first time!
The first film to air that night was GONE WITH THE WIND, followed by SINGIN’ IN THE RAIN, IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT, THE PETRIFIED FOREST and CAT PEOPLE.
Thank you for your support! We’ll always have the movies!

Crowe’s heady remake of Alejandro Amenábar’s Spanish science-fiction hit OPEN YOUR EYES (1997) follows Tom Cruise on a metaphysical roller-coaster ride of romance, suspicion, love, sex, dreams—and pop culture references.
The only two times we see Val Kilmer’s character Chris Shiherlis’ beautiful smile in Heat is immediately before two of the worst moments of his life. His acting in this film is so painful and quietly powerful. Kilmer was the steady heartbeat of Heat.
