Remember that 1997 absolutely ridiculous natural disaster movie Volcano where Tommy Lee Jones was an action hero and got together with Anne Heche. Plus, the volcano managed to solve racism somehow....😅
RIP Sam Neill (1947-2026)
Sam Neill on why "The Piano" (1993) is an important movie in Cinema history:
"I don’t think I can overestimate how important 'The Piano' (1993) is for me in hindsight. It sits on my funny old CV like a medal on my chest. It wasn’t my film. It was Jane Campion's. I wasn’t the star of the film. That was Holly Hunter. But there is honour to be found in the second fiddle. Or fourth. No one notices you much, you don’t get nominated for things. But you served. I was there in an important feminist film. I was there on the front line in an important New Zealand film. Neither of these labels does the film justice. It’s a work of art. And look, that tiny little figure in the fabric— see down there on the right—that’s me. It’s a film that will always have a place in cinema history. And I served in it."

THE FURIOUS hits theaters this weekend. For the occasion, I wrote about action director Kensuke Sonomura, one of the most innovative fight choreographers working today. @mubinotebook https://t.co/j5hKL5P6Bp
35 years ago today Terminator 2 premiered to the world. WOW!!!
Very grateful to Jim Cameron for giving me the opportunity of a lifetime. To everyone who’s carried this film with you through the years and shared it with the next generation… thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Who would you want to see a biopic about??
John Woo. His struggling in his youth, his decision to become an actor instead of a priest and his two attempts to blow up Chow Yun-Fat
Taylor Swift/Travis Kelce marriage vows:
Let me not to the merger of two brands
Admit impediments, deals are not deals
Which alter when they alterations find
Etc etc
