The original teaser trailer for BATMAN (1989), which was rushed out in response to the negativity surrounding Michael Keaton as The Caped Crusader.

C'est officiel ‼️ Les chaines ci-dessous ont cessé d'émettre le 31 décembre 2025 : Game One : 27 ans d'existence J-One : 12 ans d'existence Paramount Network : 12 ans d'existence BET : 10 ans d'existence MTV hits : 10 ans d'existence Une page définitive de la télé se tourne.

My favorite Cameron exposition dump technique is the one he does in all three of those films: "Character has to explain things to skeptical people who think he or she is crazy." It immediately gets the audience on the hero's side while doling out huge amounts of information!

Second best Cameron trick? "I didn't build the fucking thing!" Cut off other characters' demands for explanation after they cease to be useful for the audience.

Sylvester Stallone reveals how much of a writer he is in real life. He says A fantastic year and grateful for every moment. Thank you for the support. Without it, the dream wouldn’t exist. Happy New Year 2026 and keep punching Sylvester Stallone is a prolific writer, most famous

MTV could have ADAPTED and become a HUGE 21st century media brand - just as the RECORDING industry could have adapted as PHYSICAL media became obsolete at scale as the core of element of profit modeling. INSTEAD, the recording industry went around SUING their customer base and

The fact that Pinocchio (1940) is still traumatizing despite being heavily softened says everything about how dark the original story was. Even Disney’s version can’t hide the cruelty, fear, and moral punishment baked into it.

The original version of Disney’s Pluto has now entered public domain.

Zack Stentz The first hundred pages of Dune also achieves this by having every character interaction suffused with political intrigue and paranoia.

My respect for Russell Crowe just went up by about 200%

Kyle Reese is on your timeline.

Zack Stentz Even when its just people just sitting down and explaining things, it's much more compelling because they treat it like their lives are at stake, to the point where you might not even think of it exposition initially. Like in Kyle Reese's "The Terminator is out there" speech

Harvey Keitel made Pulp Fiction (1994) happen. He passed the script to Bruce Willis. Securing a superstar like Willis was the only reason Miramax agreed to finance the film's $8.5 million budget.

I worked with James Cameron a few years ago on a project. I thought I knew a lot about writing but getting a peek inside that twelve-story brain made me realize I didn't know shit. It was a masterclass in technique, foreshadowing, exposition and structure in particular. A while --

-- back I got my hands on his Aliens treatment. My outlines are narratively dense and over-written. His outline read like haiku. I've studied that doc for years and *still* can't replicate that narrative brevity and precision. If you can find it, do so. Fucking genius, man.

his transition from a dumb marine with nothing to lose to a less dumb but flawed father with a LOT to lose, trying to do his best has been so seamless and natural its a surprisingly nuanced and subtle role for the leading man in a massive blockbuster saga

J. Michael Straczynski Here it is for those who like me perk up when Joe praises something. generalstaff.org/FIC/Alien/Alie…

Zack Stentz The inquiry board meeting in Aliens is a perfect example of this. In a short dramatic scene, Cameron sums up the events of the previous film, explains the xenomorph, and sets up Ripley and Burke's motivations for the rest of the film.
