- Conan O’Brien recently lost both of his parents and has been living in a hotel due to the LA wildfires. He then went and delivered one of the best Oscar opening performances in recent memory. The dude is a legend, not just a great comedian but also just a genuinely great person.
- Rewatching BATMAN BEGINS and I can't help but notice modern superhero films rarely have this kind of epic sense of grandeur anymore. BEGINS partially rocks because the first hour simply rules and we don't even see Bale as Batman until over an hour into the film.
00:00 - I’ve never seen another human being eat popcorn like Tom Cruise.Replying to @RachelLeishmanTo add onto the Tom/popcorn lore: I need y’all to realize THIS is how he eats popcorn
00:00 - I saw I’M STILL HERE last night. It’s a searingly honest portrayal of how the abnormal can feel normal and how we compartmentalize our grief to survive. This scene at an ice cream shop is heartbreaking. Fernanda Torres expresses so many emotions within seconds. Simply stunning.
- David Fincher is directing a sequel to a Quentin Tarantino film. Aaron Sorkin is directing a sequel to a David Fincher film. We are living in a bizzaro film universe.‘THE SOCIAL NETWORK PART ll’ is in the works. Aaron Sorkin is set to direct.
- I will avenge you, NICKEL BOYS! I will save you, Daniel Craig in QUEER! I will kill you, EMILIA PEREZ!
- You can tell Sam Raimi cared more about the tragic villains from Spider-Man’s Silver Age because of moments like this. Say what you will about SPIDER-MAN 3, but this rocks. No dialogue, just a beautiful moment with a touching score from Christopher Young.
Vin Diesel says that Brian will return in the final ‘FAST & FURIOUS’ movie. (Source: FuelFest/TikTok)- What I love about Christopher Nolan writing “We are fucking” in his 150 page screenplay about quantum mechanics and the creation of the atomic bomb is how it defies pretty much everything I’ve ever learned in a screenwriting course.
- What I love most about SEVERANCE is that it is technically a sci-fi show but embraces weirdness in such an idiosyncratic way to deliver truly unique moments like this. Also, give Tramell Tillman all the awards. That dude is one hell of a performer.
- As a director I can’t tell you how many times an actor has come to me trying to understand the meaning of a scene or moment. The friction means people care, and I’d much rather work with people who care than people who don’t.David Corenswet and James Gunn having a debate over the ‘SUPERMAN’ monologue on set.
- Christopher Nolan describes this scene as his proudest moment as a director. I’ll never forget watching this for the first time in 2011 as a prologue in front of MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - GHOST PROTOCOL at the Navy Pier IMAX. The audience erupted into applause at the end.
00:00What’s your favorite “oh my god they’re actually doing this.” Moment from a movie or tv show.
