@BrianDuffield been thinking about this - wonder if blunt is one (or all) of his sisters

lowkey the mvp of disclosure day

can anyone in web explain how the amc ticketing system allows certain people to get tickets but feeds other people error messages for 3 hours straight?

is it just totally arbitrary?

[Kyle Kizu @kylekizu]

AMC emailing me this after kicking me off for 2 hours is diabolical

[Kyle Kizu @kylekizu]

@JimJarmuschHair did this. amazing when a website works

This is an incredibly narrow view of the cap/floor debate.

As baseball revenues and profits continue to skyrocket, owners will weasel their way out of growing the cap proportionally by lying about baseball revenue (as they have always done). It happens in all capped sports

Probably guarantees we're gonna see KPop Demon Hunters 2 in theaters and on PLFs for a full wide release, as well

[Kyle Kizu @kylekizu]

The Greta Gerwig Narnia date change feels like a result of the industry's move to 45-day PVOD windows instead of any quality issue with the film. I know nothing, but I presume that exhibitors had real leverage here against Netflix. 7 weekends before Netflix debut

[Kyle Kizu @kylekizu]

That window is technically into SVOD here, which is maybe the bigger issue industry-wide, so I'm verrrrryyyyy curious what the results will be. Major precedent-setter at minimum — any Netflix big budget movie could and should ask for this — and major game-changer at maximum

This has been known for a decade-plus. The original script is out there somewhere (I’ve read it). First act is more or less the same. The rest is vastly different, though Jonah wrote the video call scene at the end and Chris moved it to the middle

[Variety @Variety]

Steven Spielberg "was involved with #Interstellar for a year" before dropping out: "I became fascinated with it."

“I actually hired Chris Nolan’s brother [Jonathan] to write the first and second draft for me, but it didn’t stick. Jonah actually said, ‘If there comes a point where you decide not to make this movie, I can tell you who’s gonna grab it. He’s already bugging me about it. And that’s my brother Chris.’ He was absolutely right. The second I decided not to make it, Chris jumped on board, probably the next day. ‘Interstellar’ was a much better movie in Chris Nolan’s hands than it would have been in mine.” (via Empire)

@roxana_hadadi I have Red Mars on the shelf rn, will cue that one up after Icehenge, thank you!!

[rat king 🐀 @MikeIsaac]

this is such a good interview. "then struggle!" is wonderful.

writing is thinking!

[Kyle Kizu @kylekizu]

Basically any excuse I’ve seen for this is movie executive bootlicking à la “they had to remove it for mass market appeal!!” Listen to yourselves LOL

[Kyle Kizu @kylekizu]

Still kind of reeling with how PHM de-emphasizes problem solving from book to movie. Feels like taking a Nolan movie and saying “let’s take out the theme of time” or taking a Sorkin script and saying “let’s cut back on the dialogue.” Like… huh??? Cracks in the foundation!

[Kyle Kizu @kylekizu]

“Oh yeah the book by Andy Weir, the former software engineer who’s famous for hard sci-fi and who wrote a 15+ page treatise on the realistic physical biology of Rocky… science schmience! What if they had a room w/ a bunch of screens of nature and someone karaoke’d Harry Styles!”

Pluribus. There has been a lot of art set during Covid, but Pluribus is the first thing I’ve encountered that’s taken the incredibly alien and crushing mental state of Covid as inspiration for something non-literal and new

[Emma Camp @emmma_camp_]

Question for the group: has there been any great art about Covid? Any incredible literary novels or films?

I can't think of anything off the top of my head but my cultural knowledge is not limitless.

[Kyle Kizu @kylekizu]

The fact that he had First Man in him given where he’s gone the last few years is astounding
