We must be doing something right.

Even more stunning than the overperformance of #1 and #2 is #3 beating #4 in its second week.

@JackDrees @TomCruise Then Eliot can credibly claim “Tell ‘em Tom Cruise sent ya” in the intro. The Rock’s getting bumped.

We are living in the age of billionaires doing dumb shit and then getting praised for undoing the dumb shit they did.

The amount of hate Variety holds toward movies as art is astounding.
(Movie rocks to high heavens, by the way.)

[Variety @Variety]

"Sinners" has amassed $61 million in its global debut. It's a great result for an original, R-rated horror film, yet the Warner Bros. release has a $90 million price tag before global marketing expenses, so profitability remains a ways away. https://t.co/gjPXGBYkZ1

Complete catnip for me—almost a factory-designed TV show for me to like. Two episodes in, I adore THE STUDIO.

Food for thought

@BartokianN Ben Johnson and Brenda Fricker

The cast of ANGELS IN THE OUTFIELD now contains five Oscar wins.

[Jake @JakeWally]

Adrien Brody will go down as having maybe a top 1 weirdest career ever. 2 Oscars twenty years apart. Like 6 Wes Anderson movies in between alongside just a bunch of direct to DVD slop. Also he was in Angels in the Outfield

[Mr. Chau @Srirachachau]

Gene Hackman’s about as good as it gets, a legend. Could be playful, menacing, could still be so vulnerable under his gruff exterior and he never ever seemed like he was acting, a total natural. Incredible face, incredible hairline, they don’t create stars like him anymore. RIP

[Thomas Butt @twbutt16]

Scorsese’s got a real case of the “attachies” recently. I imagine this will fade away, especially since The Rock has to keep feeding the algorithm.
I guess Johnson-Blunt is the new Tracy-Hepburn?

[Thomas Butt @twbutt16]

Let’s skip the formalities and give this a five-star log on Letterboxd.

[The Odyssey Movie @odysseymovie]

Matt Damon is Odysseus. A film by Christopher Nolan, #TheOdysseyMovie is in theaters July 17, 2026.

The panicked “What happened?” never fails to send me howling.

[liam⁸¹ @duneparttwo]

credit to pacino for opening the envelope, recognizing the moment he was about to be a part of, and giving it a beat and a pitch-perfect delivery. that’s movie star shit right there

Super Bowl commercials have just become a who’s who of actors who don’t like acting anymore but still like being rich

[Thomas Butt @twbutt16]

Super Bowl commercial season is your annual reminder that sell-out culture has gone too far.
