Getting back into soccer after a long break… Why does a lot of American soccer fans hate MLS? Isn’t every big sports league in the world a corporation? Including European ones? What makes ULS better? Just because it’s smaller? The hatred feels so outsized
Is my birthday week so I’m giving away a copy of Anora 4K and Sorcerer 4K. I was very lucky to be gifted a stack of films by my good friend as an early birthday gift and gave me extras. So, why not pass on the wealth.

gamers have never been challenged by anything in media in their lives so as soon as they got a story that expected some emotional maturity they turned it into the biggest culture war moment in the history of the medium. this is just another Sunday night for TV audiences lmao
… and it’s and R-rated horror movie with a mostly black cast. An undeniable win from any perspective but somehow @Variety found a way to spin its box office negatively. Fucking anti-movie frauds
‘SINNERS’ overperformed official estimates and actually opened to $48M domestically.
Biggest opening for an original film this decade.

Sadly, the US Academy, which awarded us an Oscar three weeks ago, declined to publicly support Hamdan Ballal while he was beaten and tortured by Israeli soldiers and settlers.
The European Academy voiced support, as did countless other award groups and festivals. Several US Academy members—especially in the documentary branch—pushed for a statement, but it was ultimately refused. We were told that because other Palestinians were beaten up in the settler attack, it could be considered unrelated to the film, so they felt no need to respond.
In other words, while Hamdan was clearly targeted for making No Other Land (he recalled soldiers joking about the Oscar as they tortured him), he was also targeted for being Palestinian—like countless others every day who are disregarded. This, it seems, gave the Academy an excuse to remain silent when a filmmaker they honored, living under Israeli occupation, needed them the most.
It’s not too late to change this stance. Even now, issuing a statement condemning the attack on Hamdan and the Masafer Yatta community would send a meaningful message and serve as a deterrent for the future.
@HitFactoryPod Had similar thoughts while watching the pilot for ER, but also wondering if hospitals were just not as brightly lit in the 90’s as they are today or if it’s just a mood they’re going for
you love A24 movies? even though A24 is actually a distributor? is that something you care about? the distribution and marketing of a movie? rather than its production? really??
Some of these Oscar nominations are very annoying but it’s genuinely incredible that a kooky body horror movie like The Substance is a Best Picture nominee and Best Actress front runner. Completely unfathomable just a few years ago
The Robbie Williams movie discourse is insane. Why do people seem absolutely gleeful it’s not making money? Movies are worth making because they’re art, not because they turn a profit. Studios should take big swings at crazy ideas and we should be happy something cool got made!
Obviously, the industry needs to make money, which is why we have safe bets like the MCU and Star Wars and the Fast and the Furious, but we also need to try new stuff to see what pops. This is an art form and the value of art extends beyond commercial viability.
To be clear I’m not mad at people that have no interest in the film. It’s an odd concept! I just don’t like the seeming schadenfreude around its box office results. We should celebrate that something kinda weird (and good) got made in an industry that almost always plays it safe
