When will Russell Mulcahy get his due?

More Stew on Paolo. Maybe some Reed to help space out minutes.

More Green, Holland and Ausar on Franz?

Woo and Stew.

Far and Away?

I agree. The remind me of those cans of potato sticks from childhood.

I’d make a case for Turturro in the American division.

Any recommendations on writing about this subject? Especially if it covers India. Would love to educate myself more.

Maybe Ausar on Franz.

I assumed it was a Frankenstein/Frankenstein’s Creature sort of thing.

I thought this was great too. Remember really liking the score.

Also movies like The Pursuit of Happyness that promote “pull yourselves up ny your bootstraps” over addressing systemic problems.

The Untouchables. The Mamet script endorses extrajudicial killing in the name of safety.

Oh man. I can’t even think of Indian cinema without Asha Bhosle.

watched A HIDDEN LIFE for Easter and man, the film's unwavering rejection of complicity while asking hard questions about faith, suffering and moral obligation hits incredibly hard given everything that's been happening in the U.S. in the last 12 months. one of Malick's best

Philip Kwok as Mad Dog in HARD-BOILED

Philip Kwok as Mad Dog in HARD-BOILED

Philip Kwok is the stunt coordinator for HARD-BOILED and his Mad Dog character is quite possibly my favorite henchman in cinematic history. A fully established terror and man of action, who also has a code. Like 5 lines of dialog and an all-time character is born.

Working on a book about ensemble screenplays and this piece hits on some of the ways a story like this (ensemble, one day, one location) challenges what viewers typically expect from a show, esp in the streaming age.

Blows me away how phenomenal LONE STAR is. Truly transcendent storytelling. Few films would dare have a sequence as goofy-yet-gut-punching as that third act moment between Chris Cooper and Frances McDormand. Says so much without having to spell a single syllable out. It’s just remarkable.

Watched THE BAD NEWS BEARS last night to celebrate its 50th, and it's kinda wild that a major 1970s blockbuster sports movie feels like a 2020s A24 "elevated genre" sports movie.

Wait 'Til Next Year! - The Bad News Bears (9/9) Movie CLIP (1976) HD YouTube video by Movieclips

With all of yesterday’s craziness, I missed that it was the 50th anniversary of THE BAD NEWS BEARS, my favorite sports film of all time. If you’ve never seen it, be warned - it’s very much a movie of its time. But it’s a masterpiece, with an ending that floors me every time. youtu.be/xSQxtMWJzGQ?...

Boxing probably the most cinematic. But as far as team sports baseball has a good blend of “team having to work together” and “individual chances to shine.” Bad News Bears is still the God tier sports flick.

This is good marketing. Downloading the episode now.

Swain and Carr intrigue me.

Also not really horror but still terrifying at times is White God.

Love Kuroneko. What about White Dog. Maybe Cat People and Curse of the Cat People.

What do you and @omarisankofa.bsky.social think of Coen Carr as a WR/TE prospect? I‘d love to see him in Silver & Honolulu Blue.

Let’s go the other way. Animated remakes of live action Disney films. Let’s get a 2D animated WATCHER IN THE WOODS.

I live by the DIA and the Kresge Court is both a beautiful space and my favorite place to work in the morning.

No, unless the person in front of me does. Or if it’s a red eye and everyone is sleeping. (Don’t inform)

I would throw an NIL bag at Coen Carr to play TE.
