Always a delight to see Julianne Moore and Tilda Swinton in things, this movie is one hell of a Bechdel Test pass.

Life, Death and a very contemporary rant from John Turturro's character (which could have come from me, frankly.)

People should be allowed to do this sort of thing with dignity, on their terms....

"Coyote vs. Acme," starring Will Forte and directed by Dave Green, was famously shelved as a tax write-off by Warner Bros. Three years after its completion, thanks to independent distributor Ketchup Entertainment, it's finally coming out. Here's Jarrod Jones' review. "The affirming message of Green’s movie is that perseverance in a world stacked against you is its own form of victory. With some effort, the underdog will get his day."

On my #InternetArchive #FilmNoir journey still, made it up to K. Kiss Me Deadly seems like a pretty groundbreaking one if (as I researched by skimming notes on reception but not plot) films like Pulp Fiction and Raiders of the Lost Ark and more pay homage to a certain... thing. Okay, cover me, I'm going in. https://archive.org/details/the-detective/Kiss+Me+Deadly+(1955)+HD.mp4 #FilmHistory #Cinema

"For generations, #Hollywood has been filled with #Jewish voices — but Jewish identity itself has often been portrayed through a limited lens. The familiar neurotic Jewish character who complains, worries or turns traditions into a punchline has become a recurring presence on screen. The humor is often brilliant, and self-deprecation is deeply rooted in Jewish culture, but #AllisonJosephs believes Hollywood has rarely explored another side: ordinary #Jews from all walks of life who are openly proud of and connected to their heritage.

#Josephs, a #writer, #producer and Jewish advocate, has spent nearly two decades working to change the way Jews are portrayed in #media. In 2007, she founded #JewintheCity, an organization created to challenge misconceptions about #Orthodox Jews through #storytelling. In 2021, she expanded that mission by launching the Jewish Institute for #Television & #Cinema (#JITC) Hollywood Bureau..."

I dunno why but this miraculous VFX shot from Forbidden Planet (1956) popped into my head earlier.

Obviously this adorable tiger just wanted a snack and didn't deserve to be disintegrated. But that effect in a movie that's 70 years old -- damn.

@stux Then tell me where I can dowload the movie "The Odissey" (2026).

I'm living in a city where the closest cinema is 130km away.

Such an excellent score by Wojciech Kilar.

“#JamesGray is the last great #novelist of #American #cinema,” said #GionaANazzaro, #Locarno’s artistic director. “His #films form a rich body of work that echoes the #Jewish #diaspora, #filmnoir, and #Russian as well as #NorthAmerican #literature. A #filmmaker with a humanist sensibility and profound #cinephile knowledge, he has experimented with genres such as #sciencefiction and adventure while retaining his own #artistic identity and voice. Celebrating James #Gray at the Locarno #Film Festival means paying tribute to a unique and unmistakable #artist, a filmmaker who speaks the language of #cinema and knows how to pass it on to future generations.”

A young man sitting in a car at night, engrossed in his phone, with the word "OBSESSION" glowing above him.

Where is the world's largest #IMAX #theatre?

It's the Traumpalast Leonberg #Theater in #Leonberg, #Germany #Deutschland, a suburb of #Stuttgart

38 meters x 22 meters (125 feet x 72 feet for us American idiots)

The theater is so proud of it, they put together a little demo to show it off using the objects-projecting-through-a-border 3D visual trick

Only a fool would deny that... I'm getting tired of all this anti-AI bullshit. It's just a very efficient automation tool with specific affordances that can be well used or badly used. OK, there are still some hiccups in terms of efficiency but this is mostly an engineering problem together with an illiteracy problem from the part of some users.

"The Star Wars director, George Lucas, has added his voice to the growing chorus of film-makers receptive to the rising use of AI tools in moviemaking.

Speaking in an interview with A Rabbit’s Foot, Lucas, 82, said: “Artificial intelligence means it’s much easier for us to make movies.”

Resistance to the technology, he said, was “very much like sitting here saying: ‘Well, I believe the horse and the buggy is really where it’s at. These cars, they break down, they need gas, there’s all kinds of problems with them and pretty soon they’ll be making them into tanks, and then they’ll be killing people. It’s terrible.’”

Adoption of such tools, continued Lucas, was an inevitability. “There’s nothing you can do about it. That’s progress, it’s the future.”

Lucas is not the only director of a Star Wars film to have come out in favour of AI. The British film-maker Gareth Edwards, who made Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and most recently Jurassic World Rebirth said generative AI “is a fucking genius at helping you”."

"Many of us grew up watching hand drawn Disney and now it's gone. We don't talk about this enough.

Every frame of this video was painted by hand, by a human being. Every single one.

According to the Smithsonian, The Little Mermaid, released in 1989, was the last Disney feature made with the hand-painted cel method. The very next film, The Rescuers Down Under, released one year later, went digital.

Today, everything chases realism. And somehow, the more real it looks, the less alive it feels."

The Wind and the Lion | Full Movie with Sean Connery
https://youtu.be/D-In3mEfBxg

This movie was filmed before the normalization of brainless Hollywood portrayals of all foreigners as mindless drones. It showed an era of mutual respect and honor codes between adversaries instead of jingoistic 'light of the world' self-worship.

No spoilers. It is too good for that.
