COYOTE V ACME is a great movie. The best of its kind since ROGER RABBIT. It's commercial. It tested well. The leads are super likable. It's beautifully shot. The animation is great. The ending makes everyone fucking cry. I thought the goal of this business was to make hit movies?
Thereโs nothing better than when an actor takes a nothing line and makes it hilarious based on the delivery alone. Some people truly could make the phone book funny.
James Cameron saying โpee whenever you want I know youโll see my movie several timesโ is still the coolest shit anyone has said in this dumb debate about movie length.
Godzillaโs screen time in the MonsterVerse
Godzilla (2014) = 10 minutes
King of the Monsters = 11 Minutes
Godzilla vs Kong = 11 Minutes
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire = 8 Minutes
When Trump won I was so depressed and couldnโt get out of bed. I finally had to eat and had some great Korean BBQ that made me feel human again. My plan was to go back there if anything ever made me feel that nihilistic again.
The restaurant literally just burned to the ground.
We really really really really really really really need physical releases for movies and shows released to streaming services. There's no argument against it now that shows and movies are being pulled frequently.
Jo Koy alluded to his Golden Globes hosting gig (and the fallout) during his first stand-up set since the awards show.
โLot a marshmallows, man. Theyโre delicious, but goddamn, theyโre soft. I just come from a different time. I see the changes that are happening. I get it, butโฆ
THE HOLDOVERS is now on Peacock. The kind of great movie that starts good then slowly gets better and better and better until you suddenly realize youโre watching a new all time favorite. Itโs easily my top movie of 2023. Maybe Payneโs best? Time will tell.
FURY ROAD came out five years ago today. It's the last time the world was great. You spent a whole summer running into people and saying "hey how great was that" and they would say "yeah holy shit." You drove around playing "Brothers in Arms" really loud and everything ruled.
Twitter has had a massive drop in revenue, due to activist groups pressuring advertisers, even though nothing has changed with content moderation and we did everything we could to appease the activists.
Extremely messed up! Theyโre trying to destroy free speech in America.
Missed Oppenheimer in theaters and watching now. Annoyed enough to ask midfilm about why it elevates a political allegory over the creation of a weapon that could destroy all of humankind? It's like the 48th most interesting plotline they might pick.
every once in a while I remember the few weeks of my life when I thought the first season of TRUE DETECTIVE was going to take a surprise turn into full blown cosmic horror and wonder what could have been
Network asked if I wanted to reboot a show. I worked on a take. I pitched. They loved it. Network just called to say they found out they donโt have the rights to the show. This is a wild business.
Absolutely psychotic when Broadcast News has Jack Nicholson walk into frame at the 101-minute mark. Imagine watching a new movie tomorrow and with only 30 minutes left it goes โalso hereโs Leonardo DiCaprio.โ
Iโll never understand in ten thousand years how someone could say a movie that takes place entirely at a Christmas party doesnโt qualify as a Christmas movie. This is flat earth shit.
INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS came out 10 years ago today.
1) it's a masterpiece
2) the punch gun moment is god level editing
3) when Fassbender says "I hope you don't mind if I go out speaking the King's" was the quickest I ever realized someone was a movie star in my life
I literally do not understand how you can look at the Democrats running for president and not think Elizabeth Warren is the most qualified. She actually gets shit done and rich people are scared of her. Whatโs not to like?
The Killer digi-double visual effects sequence & breakdown. This is our first of many breakdown reels we're going to post on X for our VFX work on The Killer.
I never want to see a movie about Trump but I need a PEOPLE VS OJ SIMPSON style series starting with Four Seasons Total Landscaping and ending with the inauguration. Trump is never on screen. Just follow all the side characters in this circus.
Brad Pitt driving around LA while listening to the radio is easily one the high points of cinema IMHO. I truly canโt think of a cut thatโs made me more happy than when itโs suddenly night and heโs changing lanes and โThe Letterโ is loud in the mix.
SCOTT PILGRIM had the highest per screen average this weekend. The rerelease of EXPENDABLES and EAT PRAY LOVE is nowhere to be found on the box office charts.
After watching DUNGEONS & DRAGONS last night I'm pretty sure Chris Pine is one of the most charming movie stars of all time and we do not give him enough credit.
