I oversaw all VFX on Challengers and thanks to great direction from Luca and amazing artists it’s unlike any sports movie ever made! More breakdowns to come. Go watch the movie on Prime!!! — Brian Drewes (@BrianVFX)

POPEYE (1980). Robert Altman's infamous career-ruining bomb that was also the 11th highest grossing film of 1980, outpacing RAGING BULL, CADDYSHACK, AMERICAN GIGOLO, THE SHINING, & the first FRIDAY THE 13TH. A few of thoughts. First off: the picture absolutely rules. pic.twitter.com/I9a59yf2CN— Tony Tost (@tonytost) June 24, 2023

What happened with Dark Universe is so fascinating to me because we've never seen anything like it. This wasn't even the first attempt. Far from! Universal kept making monster reboots that were meant to start something. None of them ever did. Let's go over the history (thread) https://t.co/sW5Z1Z42t6— Nat Brehmer (@NatBrehmer) May 22, 2023

1. advance the plot; 2. deepen a character; 3. exemplify the genre (comedy- get a laugh; horror- have a scare, etc.); 4. build the world. So a scene between people, existing as people, int he world they live in, INSIDE your story, is legit even if there's not a plot point. BUT--— Seth Sherwood (@SethMSherwood) February 4, 2023

the thing lynch does better than anyone else in the history of cinema is play with gradients of reality, starting from an understanding that all film (like life itself) can be understood as dream, and so all film (like life itself) can feel real + unreal.

In 🎞🎥movies, which unfold chiefly in time, you think in "edits"/"cuts"/"shots".In 🖱🖥UIs, which unfold chiefly in space, you think in "containers": content-filled boxes to rearrange.Thanks to tech & cultural advance, our units & their composition are getting way richer. pic.twitter.com/I7IbHWalgX— Eli Parra (@elzr) September 29, 2022

I have a Hollywood business theory based exclusively on my own observations and reading about other industries--I claim no insider knowledge.I think one of issues causing all the problems we are lamenting is the infiltration of MBA style management at studios. 1/— Bobby Kirk (@StLKirk) August 27, 2022

This is your annual reminder that your choices for watching THE WIRE are:A. A ropey SD transfer from the early 2000s in 4x3.B. A nice HD transfer in 16x9.Now, one might conceivably say "but Devan! What if it looks better in 16x9? It's wider! More Baltimore!" Well... pic.twitter.com/6LWE6TlBlN— Devan Scott (@SadHillDevan) August 26, 2022
