Art is one thing, arthouse sophistication is another; auteur wars all over again: Hitchcock, Hawks, Sirk, Lubitsch aren't arthouse sophisticates, either, just (like Scorsese) some of the great artists of cinema, despite working in commercial systems and popular styles.
I like Scorsese but why is everyone talking about him like he's Ingmar Bergman... he's a very competent filmmaker but not singular and clearly not infallible

A terrifying roller coaster rescue is underway in Galveston, Texas Thursday. A car became stuck on a vertical track, leaving eight people dangling at the very top of the ride. Firefighters are using a long-ladder truck to reach the riders several stories above the ground. Crews are working to remove each rider from the ride by gently catching them and lowering them into the basket at the end of the ladder, before walking them down an incredibly steep structure to safety.

I loved #DisclosureDay.
A dense roller coaster ride blending chase film, love story, & mystery, all wrapped in sci-fi wonder.
It's Spielberg's best film in 20 years, filled w/ all the magic that makes his films so special, plus an all-time character/performance by Emily Blunt.
Hate how Letterboxd counts festivals as when a movie released because I feel like it’s trying to gaslight me into thinking Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die and Obsession are 2025 movies because twenty people or whatever saw them last year.
@BilgeEbiri I rarely rewatch films within a short span, but I love rewatching them after a decade long gap. It’s like reuniting with a friend from college where you have mostly have forgotten them but once you start talking, everything resurfaces and you just shoot the shit for 2 hours.
