[lulu @stilIwalking]

and what a performance

@Avesvery The one issue is that Last Jedi didn’t come out until he was already president

[Chief Mackenzie Bock 🦇 @GothamChief]

I like to think that Krypto is video calling Supergirl because Clark called him "bad dog"

[Longest Arms @LongArmsPerk]

Kinda think that Ready Player One is the kind of thing that you never let a director live down

[Troy Peterson @TroyMP94]

@agnstpollution Also the thing with list brain is it’s an honor you’re even on the list.

[Matthew Housiaux @mjhousiaux12]

I feel compelled to give this one a boost for Demy's birthday because it is really good (as well as a great non-Fulci showcase for Catriona MacColl)

[Jonathan Demme Dickrider @decoyrobot]

More than anything it’s about proximity. A person living in NYC/LA or other art centers has it better than someone from Iowa. A person with a film set carpenter father as it better than an engineer from Florida.

[Daniel Galleghost 🎃👻 @BeanWalrus]

It's really funny that we're suddenly in the backwards future where, to promote your new He-Man movie, you have to go into the criterion closet and talk about Paolo Sorrentino films

[Lost In Film @LostInFilm]

Joyeux Anniversaire, Jacques Demy 💖 The French director, lyricist, and screenwriter was born on this day in 1931.

[Brian Rowe @mrbrianrowe]

Absolutely wild that Baz Luhrmann has never received an Oscar nomination for Best Director, especially when it comes to his spectacular work on Moulin Rouge, for which he was nominated in directing at Golden Globes, BAFTA, and DGA

[Troy Peterson @TroyMP94]

@Caol_MacCormaic Truffaut I never get why he’s out when Spielberg and Linklater are always in fashion

[Troy Peterson @TroyMP94]

@alibrooke4ever Especially since just dwelling on this is going to stagnate your life and maturity even more.

[ali @alibrooke4ever]

as a 29 year old i get it but at a certain point you gotta accept what happened and understand your adult life is not gonna look like it does in early 00s movies

[Troy Peterson @TroyMP94]

@sm3argleliker @staticbluebat But then are we sure the original user is using the word correctly?

[boris @boriskarkov]

cinema has moved beyond the “brows” distinction to a much greater degree than any other art which leads to some confusion. it’s fair to say bergman makes high art films, and scorsese makes something else, but it’s absurd to suggest bergman is a tier above on that basis alone

[Troy Peterson @TroyMP94]

@gina_scooter Lusting after teenage prostitutes is popcorn now?

[Troy Peterson @TroyMP94]

@sm3argleliker @staticbluebat Is that what Raging Bull is really trying to do? It lost to Ordinary People which is more what you're describing in my mind.

[Mr. Chau @Srirachachau]

It's so funny whenever people are like "it's because of the LEFT that we're overrun by homeless people on the street!" knowing that the real reason is that Ronald Reagan slashed all the funding for low income housing and mental hospitals

[Nēa "Dracula" Ching @TheGayChingy]

I always think of Laughton, Dietrich, and Lanchester as the meat of it but then Tyrone Power pops in with a hysterical objection and it's anyone's game, folks

[Troy Peterson @TroyMP94]

@jacobdotgov Tying the franchise into being a saga was begging for another dead end
