I'm reading Cormac McCarthy for the first time and honestly his prose is jaw-dropping. He puts together these sentences that seem impossible. I read them and think: how did it occur to another human to put words together this way? It's amazing.

@JoeTurquoise Sad to see that Japan still has an anti-Godzilla bias

“Staind Glass” is probably still the funniest podcast ep I’ve ever listened to.

Will never forget the time at the IMAX in Hollywood opening weekend for Interstellar when they introduced the film by telling the audience that Nolan had sat in every seat in this very theater to ensure the quality only for them to start the movie and it was projected upside down

I’m no millionaire studio exec, but if I saw a $15M horror movie with so so reviews make $30M opening weekend and a $300M tentpole with so so reviews make $60M opening weekend, I’d strongly reconsider my “everything must be $300M and based on nostalgia” business model.

It is once again time to dust off Scorsese's Harper's essay

@becroll And the Palme d'Or goes to... ANATOMY OF A FALL! Incredibly, that's four straight films from Neon that have won the Palme (after TRIANGLE OF SADNESS, TITANE, and PARASITE)

[John Frankensteiner @JFrankensteiner]

The new HBO Max (MAX) has eliminated writer/director credits in their interface in favor of a vague "Creators." This is what Raging Bull currently looks like. It's so fucking over.
