This is how the greens should be approaching migration. If they did they’d poll at 30%

Instead they’re just woke losers that call everyone a racist

For those going “but we know they won’t die”- It doesn’t matter that WE know they survive. What matters is the characters think they won’t. The drama comes from how they respond in the moment. The cinemasins-ification of discourse has warped how ppl process stories for the worse

One of my favorite shots of all time, just playing out in a wide and not cutting.

@TheCinesthetic I hadn't ever considered it a revenge film but Gladiator may honestly be the most satisfying one I've ever seen. Watching Maximus keep outwitting Commodus until he finally gets to fight him is just so good.

I wrote about color film in Soviet cinema and how acclaimed auteurs like Tarkovsky lived and died for the privilege to shoot Kodak stock.

A look back at the famous 1979 TV debate where John Cleese and Michael Palin defended MONTY PYTHON’S LIFE OF BRIAN against journalist & the Bishop of Southwark.

The result was one of the most entertaining clashes between comedians and critics.

Only just realising that this is the only instance I've ever seen in a movie where a train accurately responds to the control inputs.
Shut the regulator, throw it into reverse (and presumably open the reg again) and the wheels immediately try to reverse.

Pope Leo: “We tend to think...that the only issue of morality is sexual....I believe there are much greater, more important issues, such as justice, equality, freedom of men and women, freedom of religion, that would all take priority before that" issue.

I fucking love Laura Dern’s face every time the camera pans to her and she’s just like 😟

I saw someone say last week that this would have been a magnificent shot to end a career on, but Spielberg kept making films, because he doesn't give a shit about having a "perfect filmography" or anything like that. He just wants to make movies man, that's what it's all about.

This is the coolest thing any live action Batman has ever done. Nothing comes even close.

Ooh you went undercover into the militant leftist march and found a bunch of nice, normal people who welcomed you while protesting against racism. You really owned the libs there you fucking idiot

Pixar founder Ed Catmull explains why George Lucas invented technology for his “competitors”

“George Lucas had a very strong sense of wanting to contribute to the entire field.”

“He wanted to affect the entire industry.”

“It was a really exciting place to work because you're developing technology, and the world's greatest filmmakers are dropping in to see what you’re making. Spielberg shows up. Scorsese shows up.”

“Lucas viewed the entertainment industry as a different kind of competitive landscape. If you've got a movie out in the theaters, then you would actually like all the other films not to be there because you want everybody to come to yours. But if you don't have a film out, then you want people to enjoy going to the movies.”

“People that you might call your competitors are producing things that other people enjoy. And you have a vested interest in wanting the rest of the industry to be healthy.”

“George Lucas didn't think about competition in the way that others might.”

“He was actually developing technology that made this entire industry stronger.”

This bit about the flowers, and people not understanding, even his best friend not reacting… this is the good shit. This is the stuff that gets squished out of you. You’ll get a million “Why will people find this scary” notes and the best answer is always “Because I do.”

Tony Scott directing 9-year-old Dakota Fanning behind the scenes of MAN ON FIRE. The gentleness, trust and emotional focus they share is incredible. "Damn, you break my heart." Wow.

[john @johnsemley3000]

Tony Scott is 100-times the filmmaker his brother is, and I don’t even really love his movies.
