Guy who knows nothing about movies.
Was half watching adverts before a film and it played a Blue Beetle trailer and genuinely thought it was some sort of fake fast food/internet advert. 😬

Starting to think that maybe the reason WB aren’t marketing it at all is because they have no clue how to…?

How is Philip Seymour Hoffman so good in literally everything?

Synecdoche, New York is pretty good.

Across my 8 nearest cinemas there are literally 4 screenings today that aren’t Barbie or Oppenheimer which is even less than last week :/. Luckily one of those 4 screenings is The Master on 70mm so looks like I get lucky this time…

Just watched a film on Blu-ray and when it finished I just wanted to get back to the special features menu asap but the disc wouldn’t let me skip or fast forward through the credits. I guess I don’t watch physical media enough to know if this is a weird or common thing?

I only saw Barbie because it’s been half a decade since we last saw Ryan Gosling in a new theatrical release but Mattel seem to be really jumping in at the deep end launching 100 projects at once. It seems like they’re making all the right moves so far. Time will tell but no huge red signs to me?

Just finished First Man and I come back to hear all this Alien stuff. What are the chances?

Just saw something saying “Rhian Gosling will be up against Cylian Murphy for the oscars” and I don’t think I’ve remember the last time I read a more non-sensical statement.

Really can’t believe that new Haunted Mansion film cost 1.5x Oppenheimer. Seems like it would be a safe bet at $30 million, but not at 150. We’ll see…

Schrader continuing to be one of the most crucial voices on the mystery of faith, the subject of (American) religion and how it relates to the stuff we watch/listen to.

Feel like Armageddon Time is the result of a more understated and modest filmmaker becoming just a tad over confident. Gray is clearly a masterful storyteller and it’ll be easy to bounce back on his next feature but I think it’s just unfortunate to see such a personal film feel so distant and messy.

Can’t believe I recognised this image from the VHS cover but hey, that’s pretty funny.

Picking my mouth up off the floor Looney Toons style when I realise this is based on a true story.

Now that I know for sure I’m going to Venice film festival this year, I’ve got to absolutely do everything I can to see Ferrari, The Killer and The Maestro.

Was speaking to a couple of people at the top of Kodak the other week and they were telling me how many modern films decide to emulate the look despite budgets where it would be more than affordable.

Films that cost 5-10 million would rather spend an extra week in editing than spend 30k on film.

Yeah it was alright I guess? Mike Faist was definitely the standout and sort-of showed up Luke Hedges which (even though I like Hedges) was sort of expected.
Seeing Brokeback Mountain with Luke Hedges and Mike Faist on stage tonight and whilst I’m reasonably exited, I’ve heard some less than favourable things so far so I guess we’ll see…

Ben Wheatley directed The Meg 2???

Was cleaning out my attic and came across what I’m pretty sure is an original theatrical poster from the Canadian release of Tobe Hooper’s Lifeforce. So now I’ve definitely got to try and find a place to display this.
