RIP George Armitage, director of MIAMI BLUES and GROSSE POINT BLANK, both so good and, no matter how loved they might be by some, it still feels like they’re underrated. HIT MAN, his blaxploitation remake of GET CARTER, is a surprisingly cool spin on the original.

I’m making my way through the Argentine Noir films on @criterion.bsky.social and loving the Carlos Hugo Christensen ones

Don Siegel’s command of visual storytelling and Eastwood’s deadpan delivery are a wining combination

Roth’s filmmaking chops and sense of humor are on full display, as is his love for Happy Birthday to Me, Pieces, and the entire giallo genre

I miss peculiar movies like this getting wide theatrical releases. It’s a fascinating movie with a game cast.

Welcome to Bluesky. We have rules here:

3) Be nice... until it's time... to *not* be nice.

Such a joy when Ebert is enthusiastic about a film he connects with, especially when said film is Repo Man 🎥

I haven’t seen it since it came out, and it is still hilarious and a fascinating time capsule of a bygone comedic era

Threads seems to suffer from the same problem as IG in that both fill the TL with posts from users you don’t follow

Incredible film. Ellen Burstyn’s performance is one of the best I’ve ever seen.
