@voxdotcom Unless you're intentionally doing a bit, the CEO of Disney is Bob Iger, not "Igor" as this piece states twice.

@hulu_support What in the world are you doing, running a live event that notoriously runs long and then cutting it off right before the end? Seriously unbelievable

[J. Brian Pitts @duck13x]

Loved @flanaganfilm and @k8siegel 's Hush (the Shush cut). Finally have the closing show for my long planned marathon of films where a heroine's knowledge of her environment balances the scales, along with Wait Until Dark, Panic Room & Red Eye.

@ATRightMovies Two favorites from my collection: Kevin M Wilson's take on The Shining and Anthony Petrie's Chum Chart

@flanaganfilm just finished up another rewatch of Midnight Mass, and I'm shook by the fact that paperwork in Sheriff Hassan's office puts Crockett Island in Washington State. Is this really the setting? I always assumed this was a New England story, not a PNW one

Four movies I'd add to the Criterion Collection:

Expirment in Terror (1962)

Four movies I’d curate for the Criterion Collection:

Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (Aditya Chopra, 1995)
Lingua Franca (Isabel Sandoval, 2020)
Style Wars (Tony Silver, 1983)
Stop! (Bill Gunn, 1970)

@wallsallaround Pretty sure Quiz Show has never gotten a BR release; I'd love a Criterion of that one

@AskZiplyFiber is there an outage in Shoreline, WA?

@Ethan_Warren_ @UMassAmherst Films about unexpected groups forming to overcome a situation:

Magnificent Seven
Once Upon a Time in the West
Tampopo

@katiewalshstx Not directly tied to a holiday, but the lovely community spirit of Bill Forsyth's LOCAL HERO makes it feel like the perfect film for the season

[J. Brian Pitts @duck13x]

@TheFilmFeast @danielsarath @ArrowFilmsVideo I can't seem to find any info online on the international cut or how it differs from the US theatrical one. I agree it seems unlikely to be the director's cut, but I would think there's some difference, otherwise why call it out?

Any idea on what this cut is?

@wallsallaround Speed 2: Cruise Control is a failed endeavor in almost every imaginable way

[J. Brian Pitts @duck13x]

@AcornTV I'm loving your service so far, but I have to provide one minor piece of feedback: the volume on your Acorn TV logo that plays before an episode is SO LOUD, like dramatically louder than the episodes. Please, as a quality of life improvement, I beg you to turn it down.

@doritosgamestop @jerkread Never mind - IMDb main page only shows part of the story, technical details tells it all

[J. Brian Pitts @duck13x]

@doritosgamestop @jerkread It is? IMDb says it's 1.78:1 and it looks like it's filling my 16:9 display as expected. Am I missing something?

[J. Brian Pitts @duck13x]

@JonBershad Oh man, the whole audience at our glass onion screening a couple of weeks ago bust up at that reveal

[J. Brian Pitts @duck13x]

@GenevieveKoski I'm catching up on @NextPicturePod eps from years past, and just finished the Roan Inish/Wolfwalkers pair. Super curious to hear whether you've gotten a chance to see any more John Sayles films since then and, if yes, if you liked them?

[J. Brian Pitts @duck13x]

@HBOMaxHelp is your service down? Can browse the collection, but every item I try to play just has three spinning dots and eventually a "couldn't play this title" message. This is on the Amazon Fire app.
