No Hollywood fact will ever confound and delight me as much as the fact that in-between TERMINATOR 2 and THE LAST ACTION HERO, Arnold Schwarzenegger directed his one and only film: a made-for-TV remake of CHRISTMAS IN CONNECTICUT.

Don't, uhhhhhh, post the last scene from BABYLON (or the last scene from any movie that just came out on VOD, or the last scene from any movie) on twitter please? Final scenes are meant to be seen after someone has watched the rest of the movie first.

The idea that there are people out there muttering "sick, that's Joker" under their breath is more terrifying than anything in the movie, or any movie.
When I was a PA on Mad Men I wore my Twins hat bc I knew that Jon Hamm was a baseball fan and maybe he’d notice and think I was cool.
He did notice, and proceeded to engage me in a conversation about baseball that I had to white knuckle bullshit my way through for five minutes.
I do not feel one iota of sympathy for Mitch McConnell. He’s a shitty old racist who could have retired 15 years ago to enjoy his golden years but instead *chose* to deteriorate in front of our eyes because he’s addicted to fighting against human rights.
I finally watched JOHN TUCKER MUST DIE and John Tucker’s life isn’t in danger even once in the whole movie. No one so much as expresses a passing desire to kill him at any point. I’m furious.

It's literally bad for everyone, from the creators to the companies to the culture writers to the audience. There is no discernible upside.
Warner Bros. Discovery is negotiating to sell around half of the storied Warner studio’s film and TV music-publishing assets for approximately $500 million.
If Alison Lohman did return to acting herself it would have to be the right project.
But these days people from Hollywood aren’t really reaching out anymore. “I don’t blame them. It was so long ago. I imagine people totally forgot about me."
pixar movies 20 years ago: haha talking toys!
pixar movies now: how do you identify your life's purpose? what structures your identity & makes you, you? how do you deal with love & loss? what can we do to find joy in life despite the meaninglessness of our existence? how do we

The indifference with which characters make their entrances into movies these days drives me insane. It's such a basic moviemaking 101 thing that everyone just decided wasn't important anymore for some reason.
Leo should have won an Oscar for playing Rick Dalton. The scene where he’s shooting “Lancer” with Olyphant and can’t remember the lines is maybe the best acted scene about acting ever committed to film.
A study claims that 48% of Gen Z feel that “sex and sexual content is not needed for the plot of most TV & movies.”
51.5% reportedly want to “see more content focused on friendships and platonic relationships.”

Man, I could not be further apart from the prevailing wisdom in regards to HORIZON: AN AMERICAN SAGA PART ONE. I loved every minute and can't wait for more. Kevin Costner is giving meaning back to the word "saga."
Being cast as the lead in a film is not a Make-A-Wish. It’s an acting job. If the millions of women who are bigger fans of Snow White than Rachel Zegler is wanted to play Snow White then they should have become more talented and more famous than she is.
I’m delighted that HORIZON is doing well at home, but this is a “validation” of no such thing. It’s
#1
on VOD because it’s cinematic, was marketed like a real movie, and has strong word-of-mouth from people who saw it in theaters.
Vindication for critics who thought Kevin Costner‘s epic “Horizon: An American Saga — Chapter 1″ (Warner Bros.) felt more like a TV drama: It was an immediate

So… if everyone leaves and Twitter collapses how exactly am I supposed to promote, and book new guests on, my podcast? Have we figured that out? There’s a lot of people for whom this place is more than a frivolous time suck.

If I see one more major studio movie that is almost entirely shot reverse shot medium close ups with out of focus green screen backgrounds, I am going to flip my everloving shit
At present, watching a piece of foreign language content that’s been dubbed in English can be uncomfortable.
Enter Flawless, an AI-driven filmmaking studio with the proprietary tech TrueSync that maps the faces of actors and delivers translations.
The cinematic language in Marion and Indy's first scene is just *impeccable.* At first he's looming over her, and she's taken off guard, perhaps momentarily intimidated. But she regroups and walks forward in frame, gaining confidence with each step, until she's bigger than he is.

In high school, a girl I liked came to see me in the play, by herself, in a nice dress, and brought me flowers. Took me literal years to realize that maybe she wasn't just a fan of high school theatre.

So many questions. Is the Caribbean a well-known Putin haunt? Is Vin just suggesting a nice place to meet up?
Is FAST X 2 going to be a GUMBALL RALLY style cross-country comedy???
Movies used to be written by Aaron Sorkin and Scott Frank and shot by Gordon Willis and scored by Jerry Goldsmith and involve characters figuring out a key piece of information b/c they gave a semen sample as part of a serial killer investigation that is incidental to the plot.
William Hurt was a unique talent, never less than totally compelling. He brought unexpected complexity to every part he played. He starred in like 25% of my favorite movies, and that is no coincidence. RIP.
If anyone in CA isn't taking the time to vote NO and return their ballot because this seems so stupid that it can't possibly happen or whatever, remember that these days the only things that happen are those things.
I too have seen the first several episodes of

@neonrated
, please hear me when I say this:
Collect all of the photoshoots that Kristen has done in promotion of SPENCER and release it as a coffee table book.
This is the most excited I’ve been as a Minnesotan since yesterday when I found out that I’m going to the State Fair on the day of the Llama costume contest!
Seeing KILLER JOE at the Landmark Pico in the middle of a weekday surrounded by octogenarians is one of my all-time favorite moviegoing experiences.
Friedkin never stopped making movies like a 25 year old with nothing to lose. That’s the way to fucking do it.
I once stood behind Bogdanovich in line for the bathroom at
@newbeverly
. He wasn't holding court, or doing an intro or anything, just there to see the Hitchcock double like the rest of us.
He was a movie lover, first and foremost. And I always thought that was cool.
For years I have been publicly imploring the rep theaters of LA to play one particular film. The film I want to see on the big screen more than any other.
Today… it’s finally happening.
Merry Kristmas to all, and to all a good draft!

Listen everywhere, rate & review on Apple:
The writers and actors aren’t just fighting for fair wages, they are fighting for the basic quality of the product they make.
Audiences, the studios and streamers want to give you the cheapest, most creatively cut-rate shows and movies they can.
The strike is also for *you*
