Robert Rodriguez understood “the need to balance the brutality with beauty,” @robertguydavis.bsky.social writes. “And casting two of the most beautiful people to grace movie screens in the last half-century or so is what elevates ‘Desperado’ to another echelon.” crookedmarquee.com/annihilation...

Annihilation With an Aesthetic: Desperado at 30 — Crooked Marquee
Robert Rodriguez’s sophomore feature is gritty, sweaty and stained with blood. It’s also packed with good-looking people… yes, even Quentin Tarantino.

Social media tip: think of something innocuous that you don’t mind seeing a lot of but you’re not really going to be tempted to spend money on (for me watches) then search that a few times and every now and then hit an advert. That fills your feed with watch adverts and keeps out shit you don’t want

The Fun of the Furious: Mortal Kombat at 30 — Crooked Marquee
The rapturous response to "Mortal Kombat II"’s red-band trailer is evidence that the original 1995 adaptation’s maximalist approach is how you bring such a game to the big screen.

Underrated big shift in the influencer era in terms of who has cultural capital: away from performers, writers, artists, musicians etc and to people who are really good at running a small business and doing SEO/social media.
Pretty polar opposite political valences in those skillsets.
