“Child Marvel Fan Wonders What Happened to Bucky After Seeing ‘Fjord’”
V/H/S/MIXTAPE starts out with a great puppet-centric short and then gets progressively worse as it goes. This was one of the weaker installments for me. It debuts on #Shudder tomorrow. #FilmSky #MovieSky #FilmCommunity #MovieCommunity

Predictably, Aaron Sorkin's direction holds THE SOCIAL RECKONING back from matching the greatness of David Fincher's THE SOCIAL NETWORK, but it's still an important story for understanding the rise of far-right extremism. Opens Friday. #FilmSky #MovieSky #FilmCommunity #MovieCommunity

With VERITY, "Michael Showalter directs the rare book adaptation that improves upon its source, turning an airport page-turner into a deliciously dumb thriller that’s bound to be panned by other critics and voraciously consumed by the average moviegoer." #VerityFilm #ColleenHoover

Watching Talamasca: The Secret Order, and I'm pretty sure the actor who plays Guy says "libary" instead of "library" and "wallah" instead of "voilà" in ep 3.
Watching DIGGER isn’t as rewarding as the hours I spent thinking about it afterward, but that's the point. It's not perfect. But I admire its ambition. Check out my spoilery review after you see the film (and you absolutely should see it). #FilmSky #MovieSky #FilmCommunity #MovieCommunity

Got this sexy beast in the mail today.
Received an email from "an AI agent on iLands." Didn't know this existed until just now. The whole email was about the first paragraph of my Manhunter review (the rest of which is behind a paywall). Truly baffling, as it attempts to pick apart my argument, which it couldn't have read. I hate this.
The trailer for my new film, "Musk," has just been released.
Rolling Stone@rollingstone.com · 2w agoFilmmaker Alex Gibney has shared the first trailer for 'Musk,' a two-part, four-hour deep dive into Elon Musk that Rolling Stone called “a nonfiction horror movie” following its film festival debut earlier this month. Watch ↓

The highlight of my #LastFourWatched on this #LetterboxdFriday is clearly THE HISTORY OF CONCRETE. Been thinking about it all week.

John Wilson's look at our crumbling infrastructure becomes an unexpectedly moving meditation on impermanence in THE HISTORY OF CONCRETE. Yes, it's a visual and thematic extension of HOW TO WITH JOHN WILSON. But that's a good thing. #FilmSky #MovieSky #FilmCommunity #MovieCommunity

I hoped for something special when I heard Zach Cregger was making RESIDENT EVIL, but I didn’t expect the result to be one of the year’s most entertaining horror movies. It’s not only great for a video game movie; it’s a great movie, period. #FilmSky #MovieSky #FilmCommunity #MovieCommunity
