Resurrection was pretty astonishing, I can’t fucking wait to see it again so I can maybe wrap my head around how Bi Gan pulled all that off, so many moments had my jaw drop and that was *before* the 40 minute oner, which was another insanely impressive feat in of itself

Posted a new Movies with Mikey on Nebula yesterday! I revisited Sunshine after ten years: nebula.tv/videos/filmj...
FilmJoy — Revisiting Sunshine - Why Are We Like This?
It has been a decade (I know) since Mikey last talked about the movie Danny Boyle's 2007 film Sunshine. A misunderstood movie about imperfect people. Can you feel the Sunshine?

Get Out was released in theaters on this day 8 years ago (and it's Daniel Kaluuya's birthday!)

my thoughts on the Chiefs getting wiped out: at the end of No Country for Old Men, Anton Chigurh, the psychopathic antagonist who was to that point less a man than a symbol of inevitability itself, is hit by another car while driving. Even fate’s avatars are not free from its whims.

Denis Villeneuve says he planned to do another project before ‘DUNE MESSIAH’ but the love for ‘DUNE’ from “cinephiles around the world” convinced him to return now.

I’m betting on Conclave to take best picture. Yes, I’m serious. It’s been a word of mouth hit and pretty much everyone who saw it enjoyed it.
If I’m wrong, obviously you can come back here and make fun of me

This is a beautiful bit of perspective ❤️ please read this if you’re feeling overwhelmed right now!
Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce.
Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.
