Hey remember when a PG rated Disney family film showed us: a hate crime, a thinly veiled threat of sexual violence, animal cruelty, anchored by a future Oscar winning actress and all displayed in just 90 seconds? I sure do.

Name a film, preferably newish, that, while widely considered great, has you itching to get on your soapbox and shouting "DO YOU ALL REALIZE HOW GREAT THIS IS? WE NEED TO BE TALKING ABOUT HOW GREAT THIS IS. ALL. THE. TIME." Yes, I just rewatched Phantom Thread.

Researching the Colorado River for a script and now I have fallen down a rabbit hole. We should be very concerned for our water security in next few decades. Like grass lawns in Southern California should be banned tomorrow. It’s bad ya’ll!

@kevin_thecritic I think it’s one of the reasons it’s legacy has endured. It’s also an incredibly sad story when you feel back the ending and jokes. Most of the characters do not get a happy ending and died miserably in pain.

Look how many camera moves are served up here in this sequence from the og Jurassic Park. Almost nothing is static, Dean Cundey doesn’t let up. My two favorite shots are the Dolly pan & push behind Laura Dern when she closes the circuit & the reveal of the perimeter fence button.

Disney let Brian De Palma direct a PG sci-fi movie and he puts this in the opening minutes of Mission to Mars. As a kid I was shocked how brutal it was. It’s still a disturbing scene as an adult!

People are talking about how great the Sam Raimi Spider-Man films are, & rightfully so. But beyond the spectacle, Raimi understands character. Casting Oscar winner Cliff Robertson as Uncle Ben was genius. The kind of slowing down these movies need, so much said in under 2 pages.

Genuinely the movie Free Guy has one of the best responses to the cynicism that can come with the holographic principle theory or just a nihilistic outlook on life. Lil Rel Howery is fantastic, an underrated dramatic actor, who manages to bring a real gravitas to a popcorn flick.
