@BrianMcquery @TomAandTom1 I see. Then you are having a different discussion and the one you’re having bores me so I will see my way out

[Justin T. Malone @JustinTMalone]

@BrianMcquery @TomAandTom1 Apologies if that’s not the argument you’re making; it’s the one I inferred from your tweets here

[Justin T. Malone @JustinTMalone]

@BrianMcquery @TomAandTom1 Short turnarounds are a problem, sure. Worthy of regulation/collective bargaining within feasibility and reason, absolutely. In no way does this hazardous labor practice necessitate profit sharing for low-medium skilled wage work on independent films

[Justin T. Malone @JustinTMalone]

@BrianMcquery @TomAandTom1 As someone who actually makes their living in production in a small and frequently exploited market; her life was not in danger, it is not a coal mine. The days are long but significantly easier than most other trades

[Justin T. Malone @JustinTMalone]

@NinaSerafina @TomAandTom1 @firstshowing You are also totally correct that a lot of people replying to your thread are silly and uninformed yet still choosing to be pro-corporate in their attitude, which is odd

[Justin T. Malone @JustinTMalone]

@NinaSerafina @TomAandTom1 @firstshowing You’re totally right that it’s the decent thing to do, but it would be an extremely difficult (and therefore unrealistic) thing to negotiate in the current market, and is like 75th on the list of current labor issues inside that market and therefore not really worth discussion

[Justin T. Malone @JustinTMalone]

That doesn’t mean mistreating crew is ok, but a lot of “mistreatment” is a lack of creature comforts that disclose production as a blue collar trade. The day is long and tough but far less tough than commensurate roles in, for example, healthcare, and usually better paid

[Justin T. Malone @JustinTMalone]

Counterpoint: it’s a movie, you don’t *need* any of it, but the crane shot looks cool and creates/sustains a market for highly skilled and specialized labor within the industry. Spending that money on a better crafty spread for the crew does not

[Sophy Romvari @SophyRomvari]

Do you really need that time consuming and labour intensive crane shot? How about shooting from a tall adjacent building and instead having better food on set. Do you really need an expensive camera rig to attach your camera to a car? Watch a Kiarostami film.

[Justin T. Malone @JustinTMalone]

The arts are vital and filmmaking one of the last remaining art forms that both employs a lot of people and is still fiscally viable in an era where fiscal viability is very important. We (literally) owe it to the world to make as many technically ambitious movies as possible

I’ve never been more locked into a movie based only on its premise

[david ehrlich @davidehrlich]

Fjord: Sebastian Stan & Renate Reinsve move their religiously conservative family to ultra-progressive Norway, where they're immediately accused of abusing their kids. less tense than usual for Cristian Mungiu, but much sadder. p good!

[Justin T. Malone @JustinTMalone]

Well, it’s a children’s show. Perhaps childish writing was to be expected

[Prime @prime_pics151]

Did a toddler write this

@textrnr Hey, I absolutely love these photos. I sent you a DM if you could check your message requests

[Justin T. Malone @JustinTMalone]

I can’t tell if Lionsgate paid for this article or if this writer genuinely admires the meretricious vulgarity of a Michael Jackson biopic that capitalizes on a monumental IP without mentioning The Thing about the IP. The latter would be an interesting critical perspective though

[Vadim Rizov @vrizov]

The comparison is a bit insane and also this whole “three cheers for executive leadership” mentality is a death cult.

[Justin T. Malone @JustinTMalone]

Idk if this is a hot take or not but these aren’t even my two favorite Radiohead albums (In Rainbows and The Bends)

[Pitchfork @pitchfork]

Radiohead has made it to the finals, but only one album can win our Best Album Bracket

Cast your final votes in Kid A vs. OK Computer on Instagram stories now, and thanks for playing
