Just read a few WEAPONS reviews written by younger critics. They seem concerned the movie “isn’t about anything.” This is what 10 years of “elevated horror”handholding has created. It’s nice to reflect a bit rather than have the thing explained to you by a character.

This is such a thoughtful answer and a great way to counterbalance the “what’s your favorite Labubu???” bullshit that’s taking over junket interviews

“I need Scorsese to explicitly say that genocide is evil” “I wish Nolan would’ve made more clear that bombing Japan was wrong” “I think Ari Aster should’ve named dropped trump” nuance found dead in a ditch huh

This is bravery. A female Indian filmmaker, the first Indian filmmaker to win Best Director at Venice in competition speaking up for Palestine knowing the Indian government has been siding with Israel, is an extremely risky move to make and she said she doesn't care.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

this and a small town where somethings not right

Perhaps the greatest casualty in the streaming era is, the loss of Halloween episodes.

Even if you want to ignore the ethical problems with AI slop, the lack of human creation immediately makes it lame. When I look at great art, there’s always that element of “wow, it’s crazy/cool that another human being created this!” If a computer makes it, who gives a shit?

I cant help but cry when facing a movie from which the creation is just pure art and passion in a world full of ai slop

Yes! Following an indigenous family man facing the horror of selfish white tourists taking over his land for their pleasure so he decided to take revenge.

Excellent breakdown of why modern blockbusters don’t feel real anymore. It’s all about touch.

I think journalists should use full-sized microphones on red carpets

netflix wants you to think that this is the same as watching a movie on your ipad

Dude is doing every crazy thing possible to promote his indie film and I respect the hustle a lot. Gotta do whatever it takes to break out amidst the blockbuster noise.

People who only follow awards season will act like this. Every year is great for non English movies

All jokes aside the fact that people were actively rooting and celebrating yesterday for an original movie to fail goes to show how bleak the future of movies is

Sloppers who have AI generate art for them now complaining about people stealing their prompts has to be the most ironic and funniest outrage I've seen all decade

People like this don't actually like movies, they just view them as an extension of their weird stan and anti-stan subcultures. It's diseased behavior.

reminder for creative types: to get to the work you're really proud of you have to write the bad song, make the ugly painting, write the mediocre story perfection is the enemy, aversion to cringe is a limitation on your potential

Your inability to consume media that you don’t personally relate to is preventing you from discovering some life changing art

Two horror performances winning major acting awards, very very very cool
