Oh look! Dark Half, an AI VFX company, is listed in the credits having provided visual effects. Like so many predicted. "AI that holds up when blown up. Created for film and TV, not feeds." Their motto.
Matt Donato@donatobomb.bsky.social · 2d agoICE CREAM MAN is hot (er, frozen) garbage; a pitiful gore-first midnighter with amateurish execution. Go watch Cooties or The Children instead if you want your "kids murdering adults" fix, two movies Eli Roth so desperately wants to be in conversation with.
It's Podcast time! We have our #SpiderManBrandNewDay episode up and swinging, with guest @ethananderton.bsky.social along for the ride. Plus, games, feedback & more. Enjoy! iTunes – tinyurl.com/6w7r424b Spotify - tinyurl.com/h83kayhm AudioBoom – tinyurl.com/3mkp2h48
Well, it’s invoicing day, and since they’re really apparently not going to pay me for something I wrote for them two months ago, I guess today is the day to post about how @vulture.com fucks over its film freelancers. Long (sorry) thread, with receipts:
Vulture@vulture.com · 2mo agoThere are 118 feature films, plus galas, talks, podcast recordings, and more at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival. Our guide to the movies and events worth lining up for.
100 percent in agreement I had some issues with the direction in the first half, but it is a really good movie, and the four lead performances are smashing. Try to see this with an audience. It's the kind of movie people vocally react to.
Abby Olcese@abbyolcese.bsky.social · 4w agoTHE INVITE hits wide release this weekend and I think we should all be screaming real loud about how good it is. Like the kind of good that reminds you you've been settling for less for WAY too long. share.google/8lUrg2FEtgFF...
Here we go. Time to make some noise.
Static Media Union@staticmediaunion.bsky.social · 4w agoBluesky, we'd like to introduce ourselves. The staff of Static Media would like to announce that we have formed a union with @wgaeast.bsky.social. Much like Jalopnik has already unionized and been recognized, we would like to request a voluntary recognition for all the Static Media sites.
Great internet sleuthing over at @slashfilm.bsky.social today, courtesy of @benpears.bsky.social, who debunked a completely wrong bit of trivia about TITANIC. www.slashfilm.com/2196462/tita...
It's Time To Debunk The Most Ridiculous Piece Of Titanic Trivia On The Internet - SlashFilm
A bizarre piece of Titanic movie trivia circulating online inspired us to disprove it and figure out how the heck it began circulating in the first place.

Yes, it appears the dog walked itself home, ate a pizza, and took a nap.
TOY STORY 5 breathes new life into the franchise by tapping into the heart that was mostly missing from TOY STORY 4. It actually feels like a necessary story, one that enhances the entire franchise. Conan O’Brien is the new MVP, and the new Hi-Tech Buzz Lightyear rules too.
Oh my goodness, they used my quote on the PROJECT HAIL MARY physical media cover! Amaze amaze amaze! Can’t wait to have it!
If you’re looking for a great action movie on par with THE RAID franchise, you must go see THE FURIOUS this weekend. American action movies could learn a thing or two from these kind of flicks. Intense, thrilling, and fun as hell.
I’m so excited to see DISCLOSURE DAY tonight. New Spielberg!
Time for another wish with a second round of OBSESSION.
THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU couldn’t be more inconsequential than if it were an ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS movie. What a supreme waste of time, talent, and money. #StarWars
I was skeptical at first, but I really love what SNL UK is doing. So I wanted to know how the process of making SNL UK differs from its American counterpart and how much Lorne Michaels is actually involved, so I found all that out
What ‘SNL UK’ Is Doing Differently (and What Lorne Michaels Has to Say About It)

this thread has it absolutely right I'd just add: his strategy of acquiring and re-packaging stuff released decades prior — and unleashing genuine creative wizards to help with the curation — is still a strikingly underrated pathway to success
Chris DeRose@scratchyderose.bsky.social · 3mo agoSay whatever you will about Ted, but he created Cartoon Network. An entire generation of kids AND adults was raised on that channel. He kinda changed the game with CN, as far as I can remember there was no channel dedicated solely for cartoons and cartoons alone. RIP. 💔
Didn’t really like MORTAL KOMBAT II. Better than the first movie, but not a high bar to clear. Gets to the tournament quickly, but it’s clunky as hell, and it looks ugly too. Karl Urban is the MVP, but the gruff, tough guy comedy of Johnny Cage makes it all feel wildly uneven.
Folks, OBSESSION absolutely rips. It’s like a gnarly, twisted adult Goosebumps book. Michael Johnston is the perfect pathetic sad boy, but Inde Navarette is an unhinged revelation. The way she unravels and gets more and more terrifying is incredible. Such a great flick.
I tried the new MANDALORIAN AND GROGU meal at Burger King! www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8p8vXdv/
I tried @Burger King’s new @Star Wars Mandalorian and Grogu Bounty Meal, and I got the Jr. Kids Meal for a toy! Let’s try everything! #StarWars #Food #New #Review #Eat

The hardest part about being dumb and broke and in your 20s is realizing you’re actually 44
Seeing OBSESSION this afternoon! Text the number on the screen, and a certain someone will get inn touch with you, and she is CLINGY.
Here’s a thing I wrote about THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA 2 and THE LAST JEDI. www.slashfilm.com/2162253/the-...
The Devil Wears Prada 2 Has One Thing In Common With The Most Controversial Star Wars Movie (Yes, Really) - SlashFilm
The Devil Wears Prada 2 shares a certain element with The Last Jedi, something that might rub some fans the wrong way. But we think it totally works.

It’s always fun when you are already driving to the airport and find out your flight is delayed two hours. Even better when that puts you into Los Angeles close to rush hour and threatens to ruin your schedule. Neat.
