This guy is so hot

"Are you alright?"
Are you okay?! 😭

The most nonchalant reaction after an umbrella to the face.

One time I went to the theatre and this trailer came up. Thinking it was the Tony trailer I leaned over to my friend and said "I'm super excited for this movie"

Have not lived that one down, don't think I ever will...

[Variety @Variety]

"One Night Only" director Will Gluck says it's "100%" true that Gen Z and Gen Alpha don’t want to see sex on screen:

"I went through this on two movies. I have long pages of empirical data about it. The only thing is I don’t think it’s just Gen Z and Gen Alpha. I believe it’s been a societal shift from taking nudity in adult situations and putting them on your phones at home for everybody. Now it’s more of a private, intimate thing that people don’t want to see when they’re in a shared experience. Whenever people now see nudity or very adult situations in a big theater, they get uncomfortable."

this discourse is so tired but this feels especially stupid to me because it assumes that every viewer is going to see every movie. i don't think someone who's averse to seeing sex onscreen is going to an R rated romcom whose premise revolves around sex

@DailyNoud Y'all would still put this higher on your list than Boy and the Heron

First promo to motivate me to *not* see a movie that I was originally going to see

Someone needs to go to jail.

Fines are not enough.

@SamolBilly People confuse liking a shot with liking the cinematography

[Ricky Babcock @Ricky_Babcock]

Odyssey and Obsession releasing so close to each other is a hate crime against dyslexic people

Him being gone would almost instantaneously improve the human condition.

My least part of going to the theatre is seeing this damn trailer

[Pop Base @PopBase]

Pop Base exclusive clip of ‘ONE NIGHT ONLY’ starring Callum Turner and Monica Barbaro.

In theaters August 7th.

Why does everyone always include Marty Supreme and not Boy and the Heron??

Reminder that Toronto Police Services has a budget of $1.43 billion.

Almost one-fifth of property taxes go toward funding the police

@CiscoThunder @madamewebsite Hail is also my favourite weather pattern

[Ricky Babcock @Ricky_Babcock]

@SixSixSixtos @joshuaS_10 @madamewebsite Watch interstellar on mute and come back to me

[Ricky Babcock @Ricky_Babcock]

@nathanrobii A great transition but a god awful story reason for it. Nice shots need to have significance to the story to feel meaningful.

Also who's favourite weather pattern is HAIL???

[Ricky Babcock @Ricky_Babcock]

Remember when Villeneuve had to say this after the dune trailer dropped

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

Kevin Feige says ‘AVENGERS: SECRET WARS’ will introduce a new universe that is easier for audiences to follow.

“It will establish a streamlined, simplified, single universe that’s easier for audiences to follow. Some aspects will feel familiar. But many, many things will be entirely new.”

Carney has caved to Trump at almost every turn despite his "elbows up" campaign: scrapping important environmental legislation, joining the "Golden Dome," saying the war in Iran was "worth it" and Trump is *still* slapping us with tariffs.

Playing nice with fascists never works.
