@TheCinesthetic one hand pose and it’s the most parodied poster of the decade

[ramin kazemi @raminkazemi3]

pixar has made grown men cry more times than any horror movie ever scared them. that’s the real achievement in filmmaking nobody gives them credit for

[ramin kazemi @raminkazemi3]

@historigins 18 and still had main character energy, some things really don’t change

[ramin kazemi @raminkazemi3]

@TimRobbins1 two secrets is a bold tease, hoping one of them involves shawshank

[ramin kazemi @raminkazemi3]

@Borys_Kit 36 years is a hell of a negotiation, that’s not playing hard to get that’s basically a whole career on hold

[ramin kazemi @raminkazemi3]

@TheCinesthetic that scene works because you already know the answer before norton does, dramatic irony doing all the heavy lifting

[ramin kazemi @raminkazemi3]

@DiscussingFilm the fact he mentioned wanting a gritty drama together first makes this feel less like a spaceballs sequel and more like a father-son project that just happened to be a comedy

[ramin kazemi @raminkazemi3]

@AralezNeverBeen @TheCinesthetic true, that one’s brutal too. seems like 90s movies just didn’t care about traumatizing kids

[ramin kazemi @raminkazemi3]

@jacobmanz @TheCinesthetic that scene lives in my head rent free honestly, one of the most unsettling things I’ve seen without a single jump scare

[ramin kazemi @raminkazemi3]

@Nomad574 @TheCinesthetic to each their own, but the slow burn is exactly what makes it work for a lot of people. horror doesn’t always need to be loud to land

[ramin kazemi @raminkazemi3]

the fact james cameron waited 13 years between avatar movies and audiences still showed up says more about patience than any marketing campaign ever could.

[ramin kazemi @raminkazemi3]

this july has tom holland playing spider-man and odysseus in the same month. the guy really said let me carry the entire box office myself.

[ramin kazemi @raminkazemi3]

@DiscussingFilm the stock exchange heist sequence still holds up as one of nolan’s best set pieces, way more underrated than people give it credit for

[ramin kazemi @raminkazemi3]

@TheCinesthetic the shows that stick with you the longest are usually the ones you finished alone at 3am, not the ones everyone talks about

[ramin kazemi @raminkazemi3]

@ATRightMovies 25th hour barely gets talked about but that opening monologue in the mirror is one of the most underrated scenes in his whole filmography

[ramin kazemi @raminkazemi3]

@RealEmirHan jonah hill’s whole career low key proves the best comedic actors are the ones directors are scared to fully control

[ramin kazemi @raminkazemi3]

@StephenSeanFord the fact you have both the camera and the games says everything, most people just pick one hobby

[ramin kazemi @raminkazemi3]

@FilmUpdates scoot mcnairy is criminally underrated, every project he touches gets better just from him being in it

[ramin kazemi @raminkazemi3]

@ATRightMovies trailers used to trust the audience to be curious. now they explain the whole movie before you buy the ticket
