yeah i mean disclosure day has massive screenplay issues and is really muddled with what it has to say a lot of the time (friend leaves room) if Steven Spielberg was a fire truck he would be the biggest one in the world
Saying this and following it up with "You know I really loved The Rip this year" might be the funniest thing he's ever done outside of threatening to kill David Letterman with a baseball bat
Quentin Tarantino slams Hollywood as a "flavorless sausage factory" where miscast actors and "audience pandering" are ruining new movies.
“Flaws, implausibilities, audience pandering, miscast performers or just plain stupid s*it usually torpedoes every new movie coming out of the flavorless sausage factory that used to call itself Hollywood. These days, the entire concept of what is a movie is more inclined to inspire contempt in me than generosity... I’ve seen movies I liked since – ‘West Side Story’ (2021); ‘Horizon: An American Saga’ Chapter 1 and 2 (both 2024), a few others, but nothing that really held me in its grip and swept me away to the magical land of enjoyment that I use to visit regularly and was the reason I loved movies above all other artforms. These days I’d rather read a book." (via Sight & Sound)

Like for all the billions spent on these movies and games and shows and books, it always comes back to the story. It's the only way we can connect with each other. Without a story we genuinely have nothing. It's cool that he knows that and wants everyone to know that.
I know we all treat him like a creative god on here because he made the cool space franchise, but it is genuinely so cool and inspiring that in his retirement he made a museum love letter to storytelling. Like thank you, George. That's genuinely so important right now.
We're gonna make I Love Boosters a different box office story than others, we're building it slower, word of mouth is building.
This weekend can be bigger than the last, a combo of new awareness, word of mouth recommendations, and certain exhibitors seeing what they have.
Every day of the weekend, movies box office drops a certain percentage each day.
I Love Boosters had the least percentage drop of all the movies this weekend, by a fair amount.
This tells me the word of mouth is working.
everyone clowning boots riley for how he out here actively qrting and telling folks to see i love boosters but honestly had he not, it’s very possible film and stan twitter would’ve spent another week pretending like the only new movie currently out in theaters was obsession
“I live on a remote island that has almost no contact with the rest of human society”
Boots Riley: are you able to chop down some of your islands’ trees to make a raft in order to see I Love Boosters?
I need u in there today.
If you wait a week or two to see I Love Boosters, it won't be in theaters, so you might as well read the spoilers.
If we don't have the theaters packed this week, they snatch us off screens. And some heavy hitters come next week and the week after.
If I made a movie as good and creatively audacious as I Love Boosters, I’d be acting annoying on Twitter about it too. Let that big hat man say what he wants.
I Love Boosters is the antidote to so much in contemporary cinema. Lighting, color, miniatures, stop motion, technique, class consciousness—it really has it all! Sick cinephile fucks should eat it up.
absolutely floored by I LOVE BOOSTERS. visually and thematically beautiful and big and inventive and inspiring and sweet and hopeful and funny and silly and thoughtful. early contender for favorite of the year!!!
