Fucking yikes haha

[Variety @Variety]

Tom Holland would call "Spider-Man" producers from "The Odyssey" set in order to "lay down the law" about filming blockbusters the Christopher Nolan way:

“I'd say, ‘We are not going to come to set and figure it out. We need to know why we are making this movie beyond the fact that it’s ‘Spider-Man 4’ and they make loads of money and we’re going to just have a big summer. Why are we making this movie?’ And Destin was super instrumental in that, but it was just really great to constantly be calling up the studio and [producers] Amy [Pascal] and Rachel [O’Connor], who I love, and be like, ‘Well, Chris is doing it this way. This is how I think we should be doing it.’ ” (via GQ)

Jim Valvano taught us to enjoy life and to cherish every moment.

As we continue this journey, we’re reminded that the Stanley Cup Final is about more than hockey. It’s about people, purpose, sacrifice, and appreciating the moments that bring us together.

Oh it’s gonna be bad bad 🤦🏼‍♂️

A list of directors who could potentially take over ‘TOP GUN 3’ has been circulating:

• John M. Chu (‘WICKED’)
• Joachim Rønning (‘TRON: ARES’)
• Adil El Arbi & Bilall Fallah (‘BAD BOYS: RIDE OR DIE’)

Objectively, this looks fucking awful.

First trailer for the ‘HARRY POTTER’ series.

Releasing this Christmas on HBO.

[Kevin Permenter @kevinjperm]

Then this becomes less about Harry’s story. Remind me again, what’s the name of the show?

[Wizarding Press @Wizarding_Press]

👀According to reports, we will get a glimpse into Hermione Granger's home in the HBO #HarryPotter series . Showing the moment she receives her Hogwarts letter! ✉️🦉

A scene we never got in the films!
What do you think?

[Kevin Permenter @kevinjperm]

This is kinda wild considering the movie hadn’t come out yet at the time of this tweet.

The movie is good (not great) and the hype as a top 100 all time kinda ruined it for me.

Always be skeptical of this much hype.

8.0/10.

‘PROJECT HAIL MARY’ has entered the Letterboxd Top 100 Films of All Time.

This is because people are slowly realizing that streamers post Covid lowered the bit rate conversion for their content thus making it look and sound worse than the physical media.

4k on streaming isn’t actually 4k.

[FlatpanelsHD @Flatpanels]

UHD Blu-ray returned to growth in the US last year, according to market data, after steady declines since 2018, and despite the overall disc market falling. Is 4K optical media finding a stable collector niche? More👇🏼

[Kevin Permenter @kevinjperm]

This is so stupid. No. Indy had the headpiece and knew the height of the staff, which led them to discover it. Indy recovered the Arc at the end. If he didn’t, more Nazis would have worked on it despite the first group dying.

So without Indy, the Nazis keep the arc forever…

[Vince Langman @LangmanVince]

OMG, she's right!

I will never be able to watch Indian Jones again! 😂

God all of those movies were amazing.

Those 2015 Best Picture animated intros went hard at the Oscars.

It shows

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ director Gore Verbinski says that some CGI in movies now is worse because of over-reliance on Unreal Engine

“People started thinking maybe movies can also use Unreal for finished visual effects. So you have this sort of gaming aesthetic entering the world of cinema”

The Brink (2014).

An HBO comedy with Jack Black and Tim Robbins.

Literally amazing content. Still not over it being canceled after the first season.

[cinesthetic. @TheCinesthetic]

that canceled tv show you’ll never stop thinking about…

[Kevin Permenter @kevinjperm]

In Screenwriting 101 you’re taught this is the death of your script if you do this. It’s always emphasized to show not tell. But to not show or tell major plot points is a big fuck up.

There’s so many to choose from but this one will always be my personal favourite.

The revisionist history is sorta funny haha cause on paper this always looked like a hit haha it was just always down to execution. Which everyone did so well.

Shawn going for the poor old us coming out of no where, everyone doubted us, see where we’ve come angle doesn’t work.

[Variety @Variety]

Shawn Levy says that “on paper, [#StrangerThings] didn’t make a lot of sense” when they first pitched it to Netflix in 2015:

"This was an original show with kids, but not for kids; with two 30-year-old, unproven filmmakers; a movie director who had never done TV and whose movie career at that point was predominantly family comedy — on paper, this made not a lot of sense. But it was just that good. It was just that good."

The movie was fun and exciting.

However, every single plot line was rushed. It would have worked out amazingly in a tv show format to mirror more of the Americanized Squid Games. Instead, the moments didn’t land as hard as they should have.

Still, a 7/10.

“The Running Man,” which paired Glen Powell with cult favorite filmmaker Edgar Wright, earned $17 million. Internationally, the film earned $11.2 million for a global haul of $28.2 million. https://t.co/fWs7vnnyTz
