I bought a limited print poster of The Florida Project. The first 50 people received a copy signed by the films director Sean Baker @Lilfilm. I could not believe I’m this lucky
Proceeds went to RACIES. Pls Donate. See TFP, it’s a Flawless piece of filmmaking. An instant classic.
Ben Affleck's mother Chris Affleck passed today. I was unaware of her longstanding activism for Palestine. Now his disgust and revulsion at genocidal Zionist Bill Maher and Sam Harris's deranged racist Islamophobic rants makes perfect sense. RIP, you raised a good son.

From the mind of Zach Cregger, director of Weapons and Barbarian. Watch the official trailer for Resident Evil. Filmed for IMAX – in theatres 9.18.
Benny Safdie & Robert Pattinson were two stand-out actors in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey & it’s the perfect opportunity for me to remind you all that Safdie & Pattinson starred in the 2017 film Good Time (directed by the Safdie Brothers), which is a breathtaking slice of Cinema. I cannot say enough positive things about this movie- I think it’s a little better than Uncut Gems.
Matt Damon reveals that Christopher Nolan had to invent a crazy mirror illusion because IMAX cameras were too huge for normal close-ups
"when he told me we were going to do the whole thing in IMAX and that they built a blimp, the first thing I said was, well, the eyelines are going to be wrong"
"if you and I are doing a scene and I'm shooting your close-up... I'm going to put my face as close to the lens as possible so your eyes are close to the lens"
"if there's a blimp around this giant IMAX camera... the eyeline is wrong"
"Chris devised this mirror system whereby I would look into a mirror that was here that would come back to a mirror that was here and you would see my full face right there"
"you'd still feel the actor and know that they were in the room with you and feel them breathing"
"the mirror system really worked, but that was the hack that Chris came up with to make us able to shoot in IMAX"
Abdul El-Sayed: “When I pay my taxes I’m not thinking man I can’t wait for Israel to have a tank and a bomb. I’m thinking man I hope they finally fix that school. Maybe we should end the practice of unconditional foreign military aid to Israel. We should end it for Israel, and Egypt where my family came from, and Saudi Arabia, and Qatar, and the UAE, and Jordan, and Pakistan. Because I want my money here. I want healthcare here. I want good schools here”
BREAKING: Jake Tapper: “…why were you worried about offending people who support the Ayatollah?”
Abdul El-Sayed: “Jake, on a day where we’re mourning the loss of two more service members in a war we never should have fought I think all of us ought to step back and ask whether or not everybody in Michigan, frankly everybody in America shouldn’t be sad about the fact that this president backed by the prime minister of a foreign government took us to a war we had no business fighting in. So yeah, I didn’t want to comment on it then because it’s a ridiculous pretext, and now you’re asking me about the Ayatollah who’s dead by the way, and you’re not asking me about the service members who’ve died. You’re not asking me about whether or not this war should have ever been fought. You’re not asking me about whether or not the costs that are being borne by Michiganders in the tax dollars we pay or the gas prices that are insane right now, are worth it…”😳
@DJWfilmmusic In the opening of JURASSIC WORLD, the kid is looking at this ViewMaster set, which consists of stills from the Ray Harryhausen stop-mo sequence from the Irwin Allen documentary THE ANIMAL WORLD (1956).👍🎬
This is super cool! I had no idea. We just gave our four-year-old daughter her first View-Master and she is absolutely enamored with it. Let's hear it for analog toys winning over young hearts in our digital world! @IMAX#TheOdessey
Chuds saying this was Nolan pushing the “anti men agenda” entirely missed the point of this scene. She’s not saying that there shouldn’t be a king. She’s saying it’s made her feel crazy that everyone claims the throne has been empty when she’s the one who has been on it running shit while Odysseus is away. It hasn’t been empty, but the suitors don’t see her as a capable ruler including her own son.She’s saying that she has been the one holding things down while waiting for her king to come back, and she’s willing to continue doing so because she believes he’s still out there.
The throne was never empty. Penelope WANTS Odysseus to come back. She isn’t against there being a king on the throne, she’s against there being anyone other than Odysseus on it.
