“Coming up after the game on CBS, Commissioner Pope, Attorney at God.”

Goddammit, I *knew* I should have ordered eight copies of The Shadow back in the ‘90s.

You were missed, especially since I’m still staying away from social media.

Well, since I keep this account open mainly for #FThisMovieFest, see most of you in a year. Take care.

INDIANA JONES: It belongs in a Planet Hollywood!

GLADIHARDER

It's one of the best days each year, and something bright as we've watched the world get steadily darker. Thanks to the Bromleys. #FThisMovieFest

It looks better at home, for sure. Real rough on the big screen, I remember. That said, you know why they did it.

All things considered, Oliver Reed's digital exit from the movie isn't too bad. #FThisMovieFest

100% on Unbreakable. It's something special.

I mean, a boat battle in the coliseum doesn't sound bad.

CORDELL: Hannibal? Oh, have you two met?
MASON VERGER:

#FThisMovieFest

Should I get around to Gladiator II at some point? #FThisMovieFest

This diabetic has had way too many sugar-free Oreos. #FThisMovieFest

COMMODUS: No, it's OK. We're step-rulers. #FThisMovieFest

MAXIMUS: I'll win the crowd. I'll give them something they've never seen before.

SMASH CUT TO:

#FThisMovieFest

Someone in the audience: "I mean, until a minute ago, yeah!" #FThisMovieFest

This movie needs Edward James Olmos making little origami for Maximus. Namely, little origami killing the hell out of other little origami. #FThisMovieFest

The original couch fucker. #FThisMovieFest

Giraffe on a Hot Tin Roof #FThisMovieFest

I mean, odds are that you only have one queer giraffe. Either way, don't judge, man. #FThisMovieFest

I like to think that, overnight, Maximus was drawing mustaches on Roman soldiers' faces, putting their hands in warm water, and freezing up their swords. Just going full Kevin McCallister on it. #FThisMovieFest

If nothing else, Prometheus is an A/V marvel. And Covenant is a bleak and heartfelt funeral dirge for Tony Scott.

"Do you see that map, Maximus? What the hell do all those little symbols mean?" #FThisMovieFest

"Let us pretend that you are a loving daughter and I have a functioning liver." #FThisMovieFest

I remember watching Joaquin Phoenix in Signs and going, "Wait, I can like him?" #FThisMovieFest

"Hey, anyone have any hand sanitizer? A wet wipe, maybe?" #FThisMovieFest

Oh God, no question. Anything but Braveheart.

This movie is as much of a visual influence for the coming years as THE MATRIX the year before. Sadly, it's the gold standard of tight shots, shaky camera, and quick cuts. Scott does it better than most. The first action movie I remember repeatedly asking, "The hell just happened?" #FThisMovieFest
