@RealCandaceO Not a fan of Ben either anymore but ZERO of your claims have been proven true. You’re an awful friend for sharing your dead friends private texts to earn culture war faction points. Just terrible.

@TouchlineRc I don’t know man… he is the “real villain” but not because he’s overtly evil, it’s because he’s baffled by the situation and keeps making terrible mistakes.

@marriedmn Dudes whose wives are cheating aren’t paying enough attention. Absolute trust is a goofy notion. Keep an eye on her, her things, where she goes, and who she talks to. Don’t make her feel untrustworthy, but everyone makes mistakes and it’s the husband’s job to make sure she’s his.

@DearS_o_n Correct. And once you realize this you either let it make you sad and useless, or embrace it as a strength and work to be the best you can be for the ones you love anyway.

[earth is a cage, dude @eldritchpunk]

@mightydudbolt Some of it, yeah. But the stuff with the bendy trees and the car being thrown around, and the monkeys… Awful green screen stuff, it just looks terrible.

Dave Bautista’s opening scene in BLADE RUNNER 2049 (2017) is so good. Before the story has really begun, he gives the movie its soul. A performance so lived-in that this character feels like the protagonist of a different film we never got to see.

In LOTR, the shire spent so long sheltered from evil that it began to think evil did not exist.

The west is like the shire.

We must save the shire.

@_TheSlashZone I feel like they got cold feet due to the 28 Days Later sequels releasing so close together and the latter flopped. That said, you can bet this will be moved back to late next year if Evil Dead Burn does well.

@TheCinesthetic Pacific Rim is amazing. Even del Toro described it as the kind of movie he wanted to make when he was 12 years old… but the lore, worldbuilding, scale, visuals, and fight scenes are so damn cool and there’s not been anything as satisfying since.

@TheCinesthetic Minority Report…. Luckily I’m not planning to be a murderer so it doesn’t change much.

[earth is a cage, dude @eldritchpunk]

@chingalingcha @EvilDead Speak for yourself. The new ones are rad in their own way.

Christopher Nolan just showed Trojan Horse footage from The Odyssey at CinemaCon. The business math behind this movie is wild.

$250 million budget. His most expensive film ever. First movie shot entirely on IMAX 70mm cameras. No franchise, no sequel, no superhero IP. The source material is a 3,000-year-old poem.

IMAX opening weekend tickets went on sale a full year before release. They sold out in 12 hours. $1.5 million in ticket revenue before a single TV spot aired.

The trailer pulled 121.4 million views in 24 hours. More than Universal's Wicked sequel. More than double what Oppenheimer's first trailer did in the same window.

Today's footage confirmed Charlize Theron is playing Calypso, the nymph who kept Odysseus trapped on her island for seven years. The scene opens with Damon asking her "How long have I been here?" He can't remember if he had a wife or a son.

That's pure Nolan. Starting the story in captivity, with a man who's lost his own identity. The same filmmaker who opened Memento backwards.

The cast is absurd: Damon, Holland, Hathaway, Pattinson, Zendaya as Athena, Lupita Nyong'o, Theron, Bernthal as Menelaus, Safdie as Agamemnon, Mia Goth, Leguizamo, Elliot Page, Travis Scott. Nolan joked it would be faster to list who isn't in it.

His last five films averaged $680 million worldwide. Oppenheimer made $976 million with an R rating and a three-hour runtime about a physicist.

Every studio spent the last decade convinced original films can't open big. Nolan's response: adapt the oldest story in Western literature. Homer's been in public domain for about 2,500 years.

Nolan IS the franchise. His name on a poster does what a superhero logo used to do. Universal figured this out when they signed him after Warner Bros let him walk over a streaming window dispute. Twenty years of partnership, gone.

July 17. IMDb's most anticipated film of 2026. Built from a poem your ninth-grade English teacher assigned.

Denis Villeneuve is on one of the most generational runs.

@TheCinesthetic Dune Part Two. I liked the first one but it was just alright but the second one came along and blew it outta the water.

[earth is a cage, dude @eldritchpunk]

@CinemaTweets1 He keeps trusting directors who made decent films but can only hold their quality output for a few movies or so. He’s still a great actor, just needs to read scripts more carefully.

[earth is a cage, dude @eldritchpunk]

@baileylikemovie He knows where the bodies are buried in Hollywood is all I can figure.

[cinesthetic. @TheCinesthetic]

Spielberg is a madman for this shot.

@TheCinesthetic Dune Part Two. The whole thing, but the last half especially is A+ cinema.
