We do rankings way too much on the internet but I don’t see nearly enough people ranking their favorite John Fords.

A group of settlers just lynched Hamdan Ballal, co director of our film no other land. They beat him and he has injuries in his head and stomach, bleeding. Soldiers invaded the ambulance he called, and took him. No sign of him since.

hilarious to me how much media outlets describe it as “sleek” and “sexy”, not because it’s not, but because I’m not sure it’s possible for a Soderbergh film to not be

[joel @joelcall]

BLACK BAG (Soderbergh, 2025). not nearly as experimental as PRESENCE, much more in his bag, but less interested in intelligence (and knowledge) maneuvering than in libidinal connections and faith/trust amidst Koepp’s espionage world of deceit/lies

Netflix, where movies go to die

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

NEON says there is no rivalry with A24 but their biggest competitor is actually Netflix.

“They desperately tried to beat us to buy ‘I, Tonya’ and ‘Portrait of a Lady on Fire,’ and we ended up losing out to them on ‘Hit Man,’ ‘May December’ and ‘Fair Play.’ There’s a slew of movies where I’m the second-highest bidder to Netflix”

You don't have to see Emilia Perez. Go for a walk. Reach out to a friend. Watch that Kurosawa film you've been meaning to for years. Jump in front of a bus. All certainly more worthwhile
