Husband of Brittany Knupper, now and forever.
In Brittany's last month we managed to get in touch with Denis Villeneuve and asked if she could see DUNE PART II. She was a DUNE fan, and had a burlesque act where she started out as a sandworm and stripped down to Paul Atreides. We had loved PART I.- Replying to @devincfThen it got to Warner Bros and the whole thing ground to a halt. Just a wall of executives not even considering it. She never saw the movie. But I will spend the rest of my life loving Villeneueve. Maybe you should take any review i write of his movies with caution...
- Replying to @devincf...because as far as I'm concerned he can do no wrong and is an impeccably decent man. And that means I'm going to be predisposed to loving anything he ever makes.
- Replying to @sethweathersSeth, I'd like to buy your beer but I'm not brain damaged and I don't feel constantly threatened by other people living their lives in ways that don't impact me. Is this piss-flavored swill still okay for me?
- Replying to @devincfVilleneueve's IMMEDIATE response: "of course, we will show it to her as soon as possible." I will never forget the speed and enthusiasm with which he replied. He and his team were willing to do whatever it took, and the people at Legendary signed off right away.
- The best to ever do it. 2/14/1986-6/9/2023 (It just occurred to me that she would look at 6/9 and say "nice")
- Crazy that there are ten PLANET OF THE APES films, eight are varying degrees of great, one is okay and one is absolutely terrible. All-timer batting average.
- There's something about THE LORD OF THE RINGS films - they're not simply movies. They're friends. They're sustenance. They're home. In many ways they're the greatest example of how the real power of cinema is not constrained by the screen.
- I think it was really irresponsible to release CIVIL WAR right now, when movie discourse is at the dumbest it's ever been.
- Disliking MEGALOPOLIS is fine but dunking on it is an admission you have no soul and hate cinema.
- The old studio moguls were sons of bitches, treated people like shit, exploited everything they could to make a dime, but at the very least they loved movies. That was their one saving grace, and the modern executives don't even have that.
- 24 hours ago the love of my life, my honest to god soulmate, left us. I will never be the same. In those 24 hours hundreds of people sent kind comments, texts and filled our house with food and love. I want to try to reply to everyone but for now let me just say thank you.
