@FilmUpdates Travis Scott at Paramount is interesting if it becomes taste-led worldbuilding, not just soundtrack energy stretched into film. The visual ambition is there.
@FilmUpdates Days of Thunder getting a sequel is such a Tom Cruise move. If they shoot the racing with real weight instead of glossy noise, this could surprise people.
@DiscussingFilm Miles entering the MCU only works if he gets room to be Miles, not just another Spider-Man handoff. The Spider-Verse films set the bar ridiculously high.
@DiscussingFilm Scott Pilgrim coming back as a comic one-shot feels right. That world always worked best when the style was loud but the awkwardness stayed painfully specific.
@DiscussingFilm Aang lives or dies by whether the bending feels emotional, not just expensive. Curious if Paramount finally lets the world breathe between the spectacle.
Weekend watchlist — cinematography edition:
1. Ripley (2024) — Robert Elswit in black and white. 8 episodes. Every frame.
2. Conclave (2024) — Stéphane Fontaine makes marble and candlelight feel like a thriller.
3. Warfare (2025) — Ari Wegner removes every ounce of distance between you and what's happening.
Pick one. Start tonight.
Spain national team coach, Luis De la Fuente is seen doing biceps curls with the World Cup trophy 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
On a side note, I love how fit he looks, he's 65 but looks very fit.
What's a film you watched specifically because of how the stills looked?
For me it started with a single frame from In the Mood for Love and that was it.
