If you think THE BEAR is a return to form in Season 5, then you weren’t watching the previous seasons. It has always been excellent, this is even more excellent than before
So… can we call it that the “Revenge of the Nerds” era of cinema is finally over. When MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE bombs next week, I’m pretty much convinced that will be it.
I’m so interested in this renaissance… the “cinema is dead” crowd kind of need to shut up, their generation is flaming out and my generation and the generation after are coming out with a vision!!
Whether you like the movie or not, something is happening here… that OBSESSION is outgrossing a Star Wars movie and will likely outgross a Supergirl movie, is a long way from where we were pre-pandemic.
‘OBSESSION’ has grossed over $370M worldwide.
It will surpass ‘SINNERS’ tomorrow to become the highest grossing live-action original film of the 2020s.
HEAT - god knows what rewatch. But Michael Mann dropping “A Michael Mann Film” at the cut to black with Moby blasting. One of the most confident moves of all time “yeah I made a masterpiece and I can be incredibly proud of it”
There isn’t a better pick than this. We are not watching this enough - a masterpiece, a film that really grapples with form - history, novel, film - how to adapt those, as well as being probably the most incredible film about how we witness.
Nickel Boys (2024, RaMell Ross) - Picked by @BethKWebb, News Editor
“So many shots of this immersive American masterpiece could qualify for this list, but here, just once, we see a moment of sweet, playful brotherhood captured intuitively through first-person perspective."
So deeply conflicted about this. I think it’s so strong in areas and really lacking in others. I really struggle with the choice to end it as if it were some kind of factual drama. I don’t know how it helps or how the final title card really fits the story it has told
Everyone TIP TOES around him because he’s been so anointed the saviour of British TV, but Russell T Davies has deficiencies as a writer, particularly as a polemicist/satirist where he’s obvious and cackhanded, always one or two rewrites away from execution dependant dialogue
“Masters of the Universe” debuted with a soft $29.3 million in North America.
It’s a slow start for a movie that cost nearly $200 million to produce, not including the marketing budget. It’ll require substantial staying power to justify its price tag, considering that theater owners get to keep roughly 50% of ticket sales. https://t.co/0MUQc0idcf
Martin Scorsese is backing an AI company to “push the bounds of creativity to create deeper and richer experiences for audiences.” He is using the technology for storyboarding purposes.
"I’m interested in the intersection of technology and storytelling, and seeing how that can push the bounds of creativity to create deeper and richer experiences for audiences. Cinema is a young medium, only around 125 years old, so we have to be open to how it can evolve. I utilized 3D with ‘Hugo’ and de-aging technology for ‘The Irishman.’ Now, with this tool, I can share what I’m visualizing more clearly and efficiently to my creative team — the production designer, art designer, and cinematographer — for them to build on to enrich cinematic intelligence."
