I was looking at the list of films leaving Criterion Channel on November 30th and one of those is Joyland. If you haven't seen it yet, you should ABSOLUTELY check it out - probably one of the best movies of this decade.

This is a completely unsubstantiated claim, but I choose to believe this message is a direct result of the Pope meeting with Gaspar Noé and Paolo Sorrentino.
He said "Amen" straight into the drop

When watching McCabe & Ms. Miller last week I got some serious doubts if I actually like Altman's films. Seeing 3 Women I remembered the issue wasn't Altman but the genre of western, because 3 Women rules. Completely original and surprising, its dream-like atmosphere keeps you on your toes.

A movie that I feel is surprisingly foundational in my taste in cinema. I really need to rewatch it soon.
This week on @podcastlikeits The 2000s @emilystjams.bsky.social and I continue our Mike Nichols’ miniseries by talking Closer with @seanfennessey.bsky.social! We discuss theatrical adaptations, Natalie Portman’s 2004 and why every character in this is pretty much a terrible human being.

![nick newman interview with eyes wide shut (1999) editor nigel galt:
"And our duty, or my duty, was quite clear: you do exactly what we've been told to do. I've always been loyal to Stanley. I've been loyal to his privacy. And I've always respected him because he was loyal to me, and I own that loyalty. The only difficulty we really had with the film after him-because there was no plan B-was dealing with the MPAA. We were just a pain in the backside because they can't cope with a bit of pubic hair. [Laughs]
And Kubrick loved pubic hair, too! It's in so many of his films.
Well, it's natural.
Yeah, that's right. Human condition.
The Japanese waived their rules on pubic hair to the film rating.
I didn't know that.
I took the film to Japan for the censor screening, and normally they would have insisted on blurring it all out. But they said, "You know, Kubrick is like Kurosawa-we can't touch his film." The MPAA didn't have the same attitude.

One of the problems with bluesky is that it's so US-centric that liberals start revealing their inner sociopathy without pushback
I hate this sort of meme.
“The only difference between the parties is whether the power to destroy human civilization rests in the hands of leaders who think gays, women, and black people should have their rights acknowledged.”
Even if true, how is Rainbow B-52 not infinitely preferable?

I don't get why they didn't go with the volcano ending for Sliver. Now it will just continue to live in my mind as that failed follow-up to Basic Instinct I will probably never watch. 😤
I spoke to Rian Johnson about WAKE UP DEAD MAN. He tells the story about how Daniel Craig was almost not Benoit Blanc. How Craig will always play Benoit Blanc in future movies. And he makes a personal plea to an Oscar winning actor to be in Knives Out 4. www.indiewire.com/features/int...

I invented this complex while still fuming with anger after seeing the Cameron film and frustrated because I wasn't allowed to punch people in the cinema.

it is almost as if accommodating and conceding to far right ideas legitimizes them and signals to voters that the far right is a legitimate choice for governance
The Danish Social Democrats are currently on course for their worst election result since at least the Second World War, despite their brand of far-right accommodationism being touted as a blueprint for other centre-left parties.

Everyone in my feed is shitting on Nuzzi. Meanwhile, the other person in the saga is now destroying the medical community and endangering public health.
But let’s slut shame Nuzzi.

You know, there is already a way to talk to Christ. It's called praying. Works just as well as chatbots if not better AND it actually gives you some time to contemplate your thoughts, away from a screen! Hallucinogens are a good option, too.

Whenever I see these types of ads or stories about AI attempts to digitally ressurect dead relatives, I keep returning to this small sci-fi film from a couple years back called Marjorie Prime, which was exactly about that. When I saw it in like 2019 or 2020, two things stood out to me.
