First poster for the ‘MALCOLM IN THE MIDDLE’ sequel series Releasing April 10 on Hulu

Stephen King was visibly shaking after Rob Reiner screened Stand by Me (1986) for him. He told him: “I want to think about this for a bit.” He left the room. When he returned, he said: “This is the best adaptation of anything I’ve ever written.”

The worst side effect of the Snyder Cut is that it opened the door to the delusional belief that every project has a top secret better version of it on a shelf somewhere and if you beg and plead enough, that top secret better version will be released to replace the other one.

someone told me yesterday that when they feel nervous about trying something new & their heart starts beating really fast, that they call it their “inner applause” because their body is cheering them on, and i think that’s the best narrative adjustment ever.

will always love this ending scene. Not only thematically layered but emotionally heartfelt - no dialgoue, just visuals & music. Also love that they could've ended showing off some more spectacular new CGI, but instead chose the wonder of real nature in all it's beauty. Goated.

Reminder that you can start as a filmmaker at any age. Many of your favorite directors made their debut features in their 40s, 50s, or even 70s. Manoel de Oliveira was 73 when he made his first feature and continued making movies until he was 106. Another filmmaker, Takeo
