Random recommendation of the day: On hindsight, maybe this one deserves the extra half-star. Either way, Sorry to Bother You (2018) is a unique and surreal film that pokes at your brain. Impressive for a debut film. #FilmSky

Val Kilmer surely hit it big in the 80s and 90s with films like Top Gun, Heat, and Tombstone... and still, I keep going back to this hilarious scene whenever I think of him π He'll be missed #RIPValKilmer

Rewatching TOMBSTONE. I often wonder what makes this film βthe one western I likeβ to so many people that donβt like westerns. Itβs not subversive. It lovingly embraces the tropes. Itβs not overly βartistic.β Itβs a straightforward western.
But it has one thing others do not:
Val Kilmer.
RIP
Random recommendation of the day: Few people can capture the struggles of human interaction like Mike Nichols. 2004's Closer is a great example that invites us to be who we are, and not "versions of something else".

Should've shared this yesterday but it's better late than never. In honor of #WomensDay, check out this great conversation I had with @slywit.bsky.social on female directors a couple of years ago. Still relevant! #FilmSky

Thank you for this honor!
Nothing like rushing like a madman to the stage to pick up an #Oscar, or to release an episode. @thiefcgt.bsky.social did one of those with Ian @bestfilmever.bsky.social, so chk it out #FilmTwitter

Gene Hackman was the kind of actor that could take any kind of role & elevate it in the most unassuming way; it doesn't matter if he was playing a basketball coach, an obsessed investigator, or a scenery-chewing villain. His work always felt effortless, but the results showed you the opposite. RIP.
This is what I've seen so far in #February. Very #Oscar focused, so even though I might catch something else in the next few days, I need to put this episode out before Sunday, so share your thoughts on any of these. #FilmSky
In the grand scheme of things, it's something really small, but I don't mind having a pick-me-up like this. Our latest episode had our best Opening DAY in 5+ years, and one of our best Opening Weeks so far. So thanks to all of you who support this show! #FilmSky
Your thoughts on a film that I just forgot. Guess you're gonna have to listen to find out ππ
