According to IMDB, Chris Nolan has now made 7 of the top 77 films of all time, including 3 of the top 17. Of. All. Time. Even the biggest Nolan head must think that is preposterous? The Dark Knight Rises is #77. Higher than Amadeus, Lawrence of Arabia, 2001, Vertigo and Citizen Kane. #filmsky

We really are in a TV comedy crisis. These are the 2026 Emmy nominees. Some of these are outright dramas with some funny bits. Season 1 of The West Wing is funnier than at least 3 of these shows. #tvsky

Depressing to see Marvel hoovering up some of the best young actors around. Gen Z pandering aside... How many great parts will these people have to turn down because they're doing a month of reshoots in The Volume? And look how they fucked over Mahershala Ali. #filmsky

Too many people on the left are using the word "slop" as excessively and tediously as the right use "woke". It's almost reaching MUTE status on here.

People are filming the cinema screen more and more now. We may have passed the point of no return. And it's seemingly so they can use it for memes instead of waiting 3 months for a proper digital release. What a dismal state of affairs. #filmsky #moviesky

A favorite film from: 1946: The Best Years of Our Lives 1956: The Ladykillers 1966: Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? 1976: Network 1986: Big Trouble in Little China 1996: Star Trek: First Contact 2006: Mission Impossible III 2016: The Nice Guys #filmsky #moviesky

Seems like people's views on historical accuracy and appropriate casting in a film depend largely on whether or not they like the film-maker. It's not a very consistent approach. #filmsky
