Hey 20th Century Fox, for the love of god, get this man some footage….
I would pay a nonzero amount of money to get my hands on the film negatives of the rod puppet footage of the alien and the background plates of those shots from "Alien 3" (1992)

Tried watching Mandalorian and Grogu and didn’t even make it 30 minutes before I got bored and turned it off.

If you had bet me that Canada would go further in the World Cup than Germany and the Netherlands I would have told you to kick rocks. We’ve done better than we could have hoped for and even though we’re probably going out on Saturday I’m still so excited! 🇨🇦

I haven’t seen Mandalorian and Grogu but if Red Letter Media is publicly apologizing to the prequels, sequels, and rogue one after watching it, that says more about the movie than any other review could possibly say.

Bugonia better win Best Score. Can’t remember the last time I heard a composer absolutely go for it the way Jerskin Fendrix did. Best score of the 21st century not composed by John Williams or Howard Shore. Full stop.

Did anyone have F1 on their Oscar bingo card? As someone who thoroughly enjoyed the movie, one of my favourites of the year, I never once considered it to be an Oscar contender.

This looks great but the fact that Jared Leto is in it means it’s gonna make -$1 Billion somehow
First look at Jared Leto as Skeletor in the live-action ‘MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE’ movie

Doing the lord’s work
Ben Affleck and Matt Damon pushed Netflix to make a deal that would reward their production crew with bonuses if their new film ‘THE RIP’ performs well on the platform.

He doesn’t have time to bleed… or mince words, apparently.
Ex-Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura: “We’re a 3rd world country now. I know. I’ve been to ‘em. I spent 17 months in SE Asia while the draft dodger was playing golf… that’s what happens in a dictatorship. In comes the military. That’s what’s happening here.” 🇺🇸

Maybe this will mean he’s too busy to write and direct stuff. Everything people praise him for he didn’t do any writing on. His first solo writing credit was in S3 of Rebels. Everything before that was written by writing staff. He’s best when he has someone to push back on him. Just like his mentor.
Dave Filoni & Lynwen Brennan will reportedly replace Kathleen Kennedy as the new Co-Presidents of Lucasfilm.
Brennan is getting promoted from General Manager and will oversee executive duties, while Filoni will lead all creative development.

My film hot take for 2025 is that One Battle After Another would have been better if the Coen Brothers directed it.

Wow, a movie that’s been in theaters for two whole weeks and is dropping on Netflix in 2 days is half sold out on a Wednesday night. But people don’t actually want to go see movies in theaters, do they? Surely not.

My theory is that Netflix knew everyone was going to cancel their subscriptions as soon as Stranger Things ended because they don’t have anything else going for them and decided to buy Warner Bros. as a Hail Mary play. Ironically, this makes me want to cancel even more.

Am I the only one that misses the days when you you had to wait 6-9 months for a movie to come out on home video? It made me excited to go out and buy/rent it. The anticipation made it feel special again.
Netflix teases that Warner Bros’ theatrical release windows will evolve to become shorter
“My pushback has been mostly in the fact of the long exclusive windows, which we don’t really think are that consumer friendly,” says Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos.

Holy shit. Did Paul Dano fuck his wife’s feet or something? Jesus…
Quentin Tarantino says 'There Will Be Blood' had a chance to be his greatest film of the 21st century if it didnt have Paul Dano in it
"it’s supposed to be a two-hander, but ... [Dano] is weak sauce, man ... He’s just such a weak, weak, uninteresting guy. The weakest fucking actor in SAG [laughs]"

I’ve thought about this a lot and I think I’ve come up with a pretty clever solution. Go with me on this. All you have to do is… write a James Bond movie. Crazy, I know, but it just might work.

Had the chance to see GDT’s Frankenstein on 35MM yesterday and it was amazing! If you have a chance to see it in a theatre I highly recommend it. I hope Netflix continues to expand their theatrical distribution because films like this need to be seen in a theatre.

Anyone in the US want to buy this and ship it to Canada for me? Our Walmarts don’t seem to have it. I’m being fully serious.
Never in a million years did I think I’d make a movie that got into a major retailer like this. It does not feel real.
WNUF double feature blu from Terror Vision has started landing at select Walmarts and should be available at all of them in coming weeks.
Happy fall, y'all!🎃🎃
