The means by which I promote my mad man's scrawlings to the rest of the web...it only sounds quaint.
Some scrawlings to return soon...just a warning.

Both have their pros and cons, and so I make that beginner's mistake of putting my trust in the internet.

So...what'll it be this October - Hell's BDSM collection agents or the sweet little old witches next door?

@MinovskyArticle It may already be on your list and just not posted here, but The Spirit of the Beehive is worth giving a watch.

GET IN THE SHOWGIRL, NOMI. OR CRISTAL WILL HAVE TO PILOT IT AGAIN.

@elessar42 I will die on the hill that Ghostbusters is a movie that works despite itself. Like, when you really dig into it, that movie should be an absolute mess, but somehow it's not.

It is lightning in a jar and none of the other attempts since have been able to recapture it

@TMann1875 @TheAVClub They're made to fit a formula and the director is treated as an interchangable tool, often to their detriment.

To say nothing for how some of the other departments have been treated, as the stories from VFX teams indicate.

[Feelin' Fine @guyinthe3rdrow]

@TMann1875 @TheAVClub and honestly? He's not wrong.
At this point it's pretty well established the studio overrides the directors in many cases to maintain a house style, to the point where many elements are filmed without the director onhand to be inserted into the finished film after.

I recently tracked down this book by film critic & artist Mayumi Mitome, that’s a collection of her writings and cartoons on film, with Phantom of the Paradise and Darkman recurring throughout the book.

@jodor97 @scottEmovienerd Funny enough, the behind the scenes stories from that show paint a much clearer picture of why he doesn't get as much work these days - the guy is an absolute nightmare to work with.

@AndrooHiss @travis_view Just the sketch I was about to post here. Good to see someone else was thinking it.

The Hollywood labor actions put the lie to the right-wing canard that Hollywood is liberal. Much of the talent might be, but once you get past a certain pay scale there are a ton of full-on MAGA people, plus execs who are no more "liberal" than the president of a logging company.

@scottEmovienerd The Fifth Element got in just ahead of Powers.

Weekly Gunpla Build Night Update - The terms of the agreement were clear. The promise was, the Mk-II would be able to fight. Nowhere was it guaranteed it would fight well.

[Feelin' Fine @guyinthe3rdrow]

Adding to this, on a whim, I ran some numbers on an inflation calculator.
Cost-wise, this last movie is comparable to, if not slightly higher, than the combined, adjusted budget of the original trilogy.

This might be a good time for people to start rereading Final Cut.

[Feelin' Fine @guyinthe3rdrow]

First The Flash, now reports the new Indy movie, riding on a budget of almost $300 million, is underperforming.

Maybe, just maybe, the lesson here is to reign in your budgets so your threshold to break even isn't so high?

Nah. That can't be it!
