penetration should be between a surgeon and his scalpel, anything else is perversion and deviance.

Gnarls Barkley doing a "final album" is objectively one of the funniest things I've ever heard. The equivalent of putting asbestos back in public buildings for a limited time only

they’re gonna Shutter Island him on an Amtrak full of babies to kiss and women to grope when the dementia fully takes over

[Audrey Fahlberg @AudreyFahlberg]

Amtrak Joe strikes again: Biden was in coach class this eve and “sat by random woman” before getting off at Wilmington, a someone on his train tells me. “He was picking up babies”

Why’d they make him the Whale

First look at Brendan Fraser as Dwight D. Eisenhower in ‘PRESSURE’

The WWII thriller follows the 72 hours before D-Day — the largest and most dangerous seaborne invasion in history.

Schoenbrun makes movies that—in the best way—miss me on the first go-round then refuse to leave my head. A true long-haul filmmaker that we’ll still be talking about decades from now. Can’t wait.

Is This Thing On (2025)

[mac pogue @macmacmacmac]

Cue the Fincher clip where he throws a stuntman down the stairs 40 times and doesn’t tell him he went with the second take

[Red-Green Alliance @RedGreenBC]

🧢🧢🧢 shit woulda been cherry red after 10 takes. LeBron type lie

[mac pogue @macmacmacmac]

the ending plays like a beautiful punchline. he spends three hours raging like a bull in a china shop in the name of His Purpose only to see that purpose disintegrate in his hands. it’s the only time I don’t second-guess his intentions.

[jourdain searles @judysquirrels]

I don’t get this obsession with “comeuppance” in films.

we see him struggle! we see him get hurt! we see him get punished!

everyone is so cop minded these days. did he need to die like howard in UNCUT GEMS ???

[mac pogue @macmacmacmac]

I always expected him to build a Skarsgård-like head of steam with his career. If his work is any indication, he was a tremendous man.

[mac pogue @macmacmacmac]

just finished my semi-annual rewatch of Generation Kill last week. you gleaned his lived-in relationships with characters just through a glance or the tone of a wisecrack. his biggest curse was making it look easy.

James Ransone has sadly passed away at the age of 46.

classic Brooks!

See also Wong Kar Wai for directors whose films have an outsized influence on advertising work. who else?

[mac pogue @macmacmacmac]

Even more diffuse than the film-borne strain of Malickia is his effect on television advertisements. I think his influence has reached 10x more viewers through his influence on commercial and creative directors.

[Bilge Ebiri @BilgeEbiri]

For the latest issue of The Yale Review, I wrote about Terrence Malick's massive influence on modern American filmmaking. https://t.co/q1cRDWn7HW

We’re living in an unprecedented time in which legendary filmmakers are making their largest scale movies past the age of 75.

It just dawned on me that not everyone doing the Ella McCay challenge actually went to see the movie

Gaspar Noé go back to filming Kickback live sets

[Emir Han @RealEmirHan]

You think Quentin Tarantino is the only one with controversial movie takes?

Think again.

Director of Irréversible, Gaspar Noé, says Star Wars and Black Panther suck.
