Denis Villeneuve: "I hate dialogue."
Kevin Costner: "Everybody's looking for the shootout for westerns, but the strength of them is what gets said leading up to things, because there is an oddity about how people talk. Yet, it's our Shakespeare, the American west."
I first heard about HORIZON: AN AMERICAN SAGA back in 2016 when I interviewed Kevin Costner for Variety/iHeartRadio's "Playback" podcast. I love how my dumbass was pushing TV here and he's like, "No, bro, I'm putting out multiple movies. Watch me."

I'm really sorry to do this but these threads often spread so much (often unsourced) mythology, and this is uniquely a corner of the world I feel qualified to discuss, so, if I may…
SPEED was released 30 years ago today. Acclaimed as one of the great action movies of the ‘90s, and among the most popular of Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock, the story of how it came to the screen never drops below 50…

LOL Scorsese doesn’t give a shit about any of this.
Sorkin isn’t stewing over everyone’s dunks, either.
PTA isn’t gazing at his screen teary-eyed over the spirited defenses.
McKay isn’t taking some hard look in the mirror.
You. Are. All. Just. Talking. To. Each. Other.
From this point forward, in fact, FFC will no longer be covering new MCU releases. The obsessive bullying of Scorsese--Scorsese!--from a multibillion dollar corporation has forced us to choose sides. I understand most sites don't have this luxury, so no judgment implied.

It’s like Year One and Long Halloween had a baby in an alternate universe. I loved Pattinson’s Batman, the way he moves, slow and willful. Colin Farrell is AMAZING. (Dude was Tom Hardy before Tom Hardy.) And the sound is unreal. I felt the Batmobile in my chest.

I have no idea what it's like to think of 2000 and not ALMOST FAMOUS. To think of 1996 and not INDEPENDENCE DAY. 1989 and not BATMAN. To think of 1980 and not RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK.
