If I were Francis Ford Coppola, I'd be mad as hell that a bunch of directors and celebrities didn't rush to my defense and hail MEGALOPOLIS as a modern classic like these fools are doing for DIGGER. "I worked with summa you bitches!" Odie Ford Coppola would say. "You can't do a video defending me?!"
I’d also add Des Mangan from SBS and the gent on the ABC whose name escapes me to this list. Those introductions were wonderful
Tim Byrne@tbyrne75.bsky.social · 2h agoCall me old, but I remember when Bill Collins or Ivan Hutchison would spend 5-10 minutes on the television introducing an old film and it was just wonderful watching their love for movies shine through. Thanks, guys.

As someone who’s only got a passing knowledge of Mike Flanagan’s work, this backlash seems both abrupt and brutal
Usually I'm the one writing about AI. But recently, the tables were turned. Someone sent me a link to an 89-page book about "redefining living through Cam Wilson teachings", seemingly made by AI So, I bought it. Once it arrived, things got even weirder: www.abc.net.au/news/...
Truth. We deserved Fletch’s Fortune too, damnit
Colin McGowan@csmcgowan.bsky.social · yesterdayYou know what was a good movie? Confess, Fletch (2022).
no idea who made this but I think of that random person with gratitude every time I heat up any sort of wraplike food object in the microwave
For me, THE FOG is not necessarily the greatest movie, or even Carpenter’s best. But it’s also the movie that if someone told me they didn’t like I would question why they watch movies at all.
Sorkin discourse. Flanagan discourse. Nope. That’s it. I’m out.
Someone made an AI slop book about me. I'm not alone
I found an AI slop book written about me
Cam Wilson is the ABC's AI reporter and recently discovered an AI-generated book about him and a book he wrote.

It’s the 55th anniversary of THE FRENCH CONNECTION. But rather than another post about how undeniably groundbreaking Friedkin's effort was, my latest Substack newsletter talks about another aspect of the film. The story of the real French Connection. andrewnette.substack.com/p/the-real-f...

The same company that doesn't pay artists seems to always find the money to pay this jackass. If you're still using Spotify... why? Pretty much every alternative is better in every way.

This is such a fucking great movie. Deserves waaaay more acknowledgment as top shelf Scorsese
Jason Bailey@jasondashbailey.com · 3d agoMartin Scorsese’s spectacularly underrated ‘The Color of Money’ was released on this day in 1986: buff.ly/oACoxJF
Saw someone call The Departed a cult classic, and it’s time to open the schools.
One of the best feature screenplays I've ever read. So well deserved ❤️

Blancmange: A Skydance Production. Directed by Brett Ratner.
Only a couple of episodes of CARRIE left and it's a heart-wrenching, thoughtful, beautiful retelling of the story that is reflective of our current society. Mike Flanagan is the undefeated champion of consistently making me unexpectedly burst into tears while experiencing his art (complimentary).
