BREAKING: According to a new Netflix press release, WEDNESDAY has been viewed to completion at least 15 times by every man, woman, and child on the planet. Some dogs, too. The total is 700 trillion hours of viewing time. Also, WEDNESDAY has been canceled, effective immediately.
After years of only hearing about it, I finally got my hands on the 5-page bodybuilding forum thread wherein a couple dudes get into a heated argument over how many days there are in a week and I am here to tell you that it is infinitely funnier than I even imagined it would be.
lady at the dispensary handing me a big fat bag: "Got any weekend plans? Haha, besides this?"
me: "Yeah, this plus ZELDA."
lady (near tears, now grabbing my arm): "I've been waiting for someone to come in that'd talk to me about ZELDA oh my fucking god can we talk about ZELDA"
Imagine coming for Keanu Reeves like that. Might as well let the internet know you think all kittens should be drowned at birth. Good luck out there, man.
Joe Russo says AI will be used to “engineer storytelling” in movies.
“You could save the AI on your streaming platform. ‘I want a rom-com starring my avatar and Marilyn Monroe's avatar,’ and it renders a story with dialogue that mimics your voice.”

1997.
Rob Zombie looks down at the paper on his desk. It reads:
DIG THRU THE TRENCHES
AND BURN THRU THE WENCHES
AND FUCK IN THE BACK OF MY
DRACULA CAR
He balls up the sheet of paper, angrily tosses it into an overflowing trash can. He is convinced he will never get it right.
I remember, in the theater, being able to hear the shocked gasps from the crowd at the moment where the sound suddenly drops out. Fuckin incredible moment.
Love RDJ but at this point in both history and my life I could give two wet shits about astronomically wealthy people playing with their toys. Feels gross, dunno what to tell you. We can't afford rent out here, man.
someone on the REHEARSAL subreddit has created another REHEARSAL subreddit for users of the first REHEARSAL subreddit to rehearse their posts before posting them. A+, no notes.
My favorite thing about MULHOLLAND DRIVE is that Lynch shot about 1/2 of it as a pilot for ABC and they were like "What? Absolutely not" and Lynch was all like "OK, fuck you guys", added another hour to it and got nominated for a Best Director Oscar. That will never not be funny.
GLASS ONION coming in hot at
#3
for the weekend, to rave reviews and despite being on less than 640 screens, once again has me questioning the logic and wisdom of our current era. You can explain it to me all you want and I promise I will still think it is stupid as fuck.
Been reading MADAME WEB reviews for the past hour, all of them warning their readers to stay away from MADAME WEB with the same sorta urgency that you might try to stop someone from entering a burning building with, aaaand I dunno I kinda think I’m gonna have to go see MADAME WEB
I caught NOPE when it came out and thought it was really, really good, but I’m rewatching it for the first time on this flight and am increasingly convinced it’s a masterpiece.
Do I think Tucker Carlson is a good person? No.
But do I think Tucker should be able to go home, spend time with his family, and sleep at night without being hounded by unruly mobs? Also no, fuck that guy.
me: so how far in are you?
cashier: Well, I'm
(she then launches into an impressively long and detailed account of the 15 hours she's spent in the game thus far and at the end she says)
cashier: But don't tell me spoilers, I like the lore
me: lady I'm still in the tutorial area
Ezra Miller has a reminder set on their phone to do crimes in unexpected places. It goes off every hour on the hour and Ezra Miller has never missed an appointment.
When you’re watching MAD MAX: FURY ROAD there really isn’t any doubt what the greatest movie ever made is. And it might not be, but any movie that can make you feel that way is certainly in the running.
Reading some LAST OF US reviews and am realizing that a whole shit-ton of people who didn't play the game are probably gonna be knocked on their asses by the season finale. That's gonna be a fun day.
I hope Luke Skywalker’s return in EPISODE IX turns out to be an extended, 14-minute flashback montage showcasing all the times he drank milk from that alien walrus monster’s teats
Not gonna RT it but saw someone saying "chris evans could do brokeback mountain but jake gyllenhall couldn’t do knives out" and the sheer inaccuracy of this knocked me back on my heels. JG is a fucking freak and weirdo if you're paying attention, and he seems capable of anything.
The new season of TRUE DETECTIVE is the best since the first, an absolute knockout from start to finish. Also? Scary as hell. Jodie Foster's excellent, Kali Reis is a goddamn revelation, and Issa Lopez's phone is about to be ringing off the hook. Get hyped, friends.
I think the "Haha fuck yeah! It's so over, Hollywood" undercurrent that comes standard with all these tweets jizzing over AI-generated footage is so weird.
"Yeah, yeah, you've kept me entertained my entire life but guess what, fuckers? Time to PAY THE FIDDLER for your crimes!"
GLASS ONION rewards a second viewing to such an extent that I now think I like it even more than KNIVES OUT. Rian Johnson straight up dominating Rian Johnson in the Benoit Blanc power rankings rn
Remember during TRUE DETECTIVE Season One where for like 20min it seemed like the show might take this crazy turn into full-blown cosmic horror? Man. Those were good times.
I don't think there's any other living-but-very-old-and-retired actor I miss seeing in movies more than Jack Nicholson. Does me good to see my boy out and about, in good spirits.
Watching DRIVE again for the first time in over a decade. I know memes and jacket-based bros have destroyed this movie on social media over the past 10+ years, but the truth is that this thing still fucking whips many asses.
I think maybe some of y'all need to rewatch FURY ROAD and remember how much of that movie is digital FX. I also think, because we have seen this happen a bazillion times now, that every shot in that FURIOSA trailer will look 50% more polished by the time the movie arrives.
HOT ROD’s one of those movies where, had it never been made but you dropped it right *now,* for the very first time, on Netflix or some shit, it’d be all anyone talked about for two weeks. Same with POP STAR, by the way.
Chris Pratt as Mario
Anya Taylor-Joy as Peach
Charlie Day as Luigi
Jack Black as Bowser
Keegan-Michael Key as Toad
Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong
Fred Armisen as Cranky Kong
Kevin Michael Richardson as Kamek
Sebastian Maniscalco as Spike
Surprise cameos from Charles Martinet
Y'know how every year there's that one horror movie all your horror nerd friends rave about and when you get around to watching it the movie goes so hard that it fucks up your whole life for a few days? Well, this year that movie is WHEN EVIL LURKS and it's now on Shudder. Enjoy.
Which film in the last ten years or so do you think has produced the worst takes/misinterpretations/general unhinged discourse? There are so many to choose from!
People claiming they’re leaving Twitter baffle me. I intend to be here to see The End with my own two fucking eyeballs, I have earned that. WE have earned that.
This is absolutely gonna result in a bunch of indignant YouTubers bleating red-faced into their web cameras about how unprofessional this is and how the fans are being cruelly bullied or some shit and to that I say both "lol" and "lmao".
It’s interesting: pretty much every award given at the Oscar’s tonight was called weeks ago by anyone even remotely paying attention, but it’s legit the most entertaining ceremony they’ve had in years. See? Predictable CAN be fine, you just gotta make this shit fun.
the people behind the JOHN WICK franchise must just sit around going "hey what other bad motherfuckers can we get in the mix here" and I respect that a great deal
I recently saw three movies in a very brief span: GLASS ONION, TRIANGLE OF SADNESS and THE MENU. They are all doing different things, but they're also all aiming at the same targets. My verdict: the only one I full-blown loved was GLASS ONION.
Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah made BAD BOYS 3, which owned and which was one of the few hits of 2020, then made a BATGIRL movie with Leslie Grace in the lead and Michael Keaton returning as Batman, and then WB shelved it but also THE FLASH is still coming out. Okay!
Some associates and I jokingly refer to ourselves as the "Tight 90 Club" because we are increasingly annoyed with sprawling runtimes (preferring, yes, a tight 90) and, reader, lemme tell ya: the Tight 90 Club is NOT going to be happy to hear this.
Started an INDIANA JONES franchise rewatch before I see the new one next week. Watching RAIDERS now. Very funny how any 10 minutes of this movie mop the goddamn floor with about 90% of any of the would-be blockbusters being made today.
Saw a tweet the other day pitching a JACKASS Criterion boxed set and I have not stopped thinking about how insanely justified and necessary this would be ever since
Remember a while back when Molina was like "Yeah I'm in that shit, whatever NDA" and some of you thought it was a bit? No, man. Alfred Molina is not here to offer fucks to you, to Marvel, to Disney, or anyone else. Alfred Molina is a God and he thinks your NDAs are clown business
...that she'd sometimes spend months away from her husband/kids and how rough this was over time and then she brings the whole thought in for a landing with, "...and THAT'S why I spent 7 years doing TV commercials about yogurt that makes you shit."
What a fucking icon. (2/2)
THIS IS THE END should have at least two sequels by now. Maybe three. Ignore the mythology movie-to-movie, different crew of funny people playing themselves in a different kind of apocalypse each time. If this existed it would be my favorite franchise.
Fave part of this week's show is me asking Jamie Lee Curtis if she realizes how fucking cool she is and she launches into this considered, thoughtful answer about how doing cool shit doesn't make up for all the time she spent away from her family during shoots... (1/2)
If one full hour of THE BATMAN's three-hour runtime is not devoted to a slo-mo flashback sequence in which we finally learn what happened to Bruce Wayne's parents I'm not going to see it
While we're on the subject (and yes, some hours later I have conquered the tutorial sky islands), I'm no-shit in awe of what this game seems capable of, even with the very small sliver of it that I've seen.
Was just told we can, in fact, do social media reactions to THE GREEN KNIGHT, so let me start by saying that this movie whips a great number of asses, without mercy and without restraint.
it's gonna be a thirty second post-credits scene where Affleck Batman comes out and goes, "So, turns out that one version of the Flash wasn't the real Flash so we threw him in a river" and then the FLASH movie's gonna come out with like Taron Egerton digitally inserted into it
