What if when he was released, he was the old Fetterman again? “Fuck, I don’t know what the hell I’ve been saying. Of course, full support to Palestine. And why the hell did we agree to end this shutdown with nothing in return for our constituents? Please, get me my good hoodie…and a cheesesteak.”
John Fetterman was taken to the hospital after suffering from a “ventricular fibrillation flare-up” and falling near his home

I enjoy most of PWSA’s films, without the need to qualify them with vulgar auteurism bs, but this was narratively dull as sin and aesthetically ugly as hell. Hope he doesn’t use virtual production tech for an entire movie again. Whole cast is sleepwalking. His worst since Pompei.

Social media is not the world. We don’t need to do this “oh, my precious whites!” routine.

It simply comes down to the fact that this was a small movie about a figure most aren’t familiar with. Even The Smashing Machine with The Rock and Emily Blunt didn’t do well at the box office. Let’s move on.

I enjoyed this. Solid, simple, unwind at home on a weeknight type of movie that could’ve come out in the early 2000s. Appreciate the presence Daisy Ridley brings to a role, and I enjoy when Martin Campbell makes action movies with people I enjoy seeing on screen.

Good movie. Good dog. Appreciate how the horror elements track narratively but the perspective isn’t broken by a concrete explanation as that’s only something humans would understand. We catch snippets of conversations, enough for context, but tone and volume are most important.

The sexiest thing a movie can do is drop a title card 10 to 25 minutes into the film.

Very solid debut. Dug the tonal shifts- gave the film a voice, and got the best out of the actors. Weaving is great, Glusman steals a lot of scenes, and Garcia is locked in. Some speed bumps -heist is the least interesting part, but the car chase hits! I think Simmons is one to watch. Shot in Ohio!

Kinda loved this. Baby-faced Elisabeth Shue, interning for a wild-haired Terrance Stamp, becomes a source of fixation for a suit wearing, cigar smoking chimp who’s a violent master manipulator. Brilliant score by Jerry Goldsmith. Franklin’s resume isn’t long but he’s undersold.

Co-signed! Seeing this movie on Monday and can’t wait to re-read @richardlnewby.bsky.social’s interview with Trachtenberg afterwards.
If you do check out PREDATOR: BADLANDS, maybe pick up the latest issue of FANGORIA. @richardlnewby.bsky.social has a really good article about the film in it.

So fuckin metal! Predator thrown into a pulp sci-fi comic book with a new and deadly monster at every turn. Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi brings such emotion to Dek and Elle Fanning is a breath of fresh air for the franchise. Trachtenberg can make these forever. Go see it!! #PredatorBadlands

My guy Bela was injecting women with ape blood to make a mate for his own pet chimpanzee. Madness. We don’t move like pre-code movies did.
