I think Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026) resolved just like Thunderbolts* (2025). It reminded me why I consider that film to be one of the strongest MCU films released after Avengers: Endgame (2019). But can I say the same for this? Visually! Best Tom Holland Spider-Man movie? 100%.

The Best Movie Theaters to Watch Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026) (Dolby Atmos + ScreenX/Flat): Jakarta: 1. CGV Grand Indonesia ScreenX 2. Cinepolis Senayan Park Cinema 1 3. CGV Grand Indonesia Starium Bandung: CGV 23 Paskal Shopping Center ScreenX

​Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026) is the second Tom Holland Spider-Man film to be rated 13+ by the Film Censorship Board of Indonesia, after Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017). ​Yes, Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019) and Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) were weirdly rated SU (All Ages) by them.

Just watched Obsession (2025) last night. The director's choice to use a 1.50:1 aspect ratio is an interesting artistic choice. The movie follows a formula similar to how comedy sketches work, given Barker's background. The sound design is phenomenal and is the main driver of it. #FilmSky

Heads up before watching Disclosure Day (2026): - Shot on 35mm (2.39:1 scope) - No expanded IMAX ratio (no "Filmed for IMAX" branding) - Pick a wide 2.39:1 screen to avoid letterboxing TL;DR: Go for Dolby Cinema/Atmos instead. Fingers crossed Indonesian DCPs have the Atmos track. #FilmSky

An infographic for the movie Disclosure Day. A still of a man pointing on a dark street is shown twice. First, it is outlined by a cyan box with dashed lines showing a letterbox crop, with text reading, Presented entirely in 2.39:1. Letterboxed in IMAX and 1.85 theaters. Second, the still is framed inside a physical film strip graphic with text reading, Also available on standard 70mm at participating locations. At the bottom, director Steven Spielberg operates a Panavision camera.

Got so overwhelmed by the number of events happening this weekend that I decided to instead attend the screening of Three Goodbyes (2025) by Isabel Coixet. Hosted by Istituto Italiano di Cultura Jakarta today at Institut Français d'Indonésie Thamrin, Jakarta for Europe on Screen 2026. #FilmSky

Hand holding a promotional flyer and ticket for the Europe on Screen festival, dated 4 to 14 June 2026. The ticket features handwritten details for the film "Three Goodbyes" on 6/6/26 at 14:00 at the venue IFI Thamrin. A badge on the flyer notes all screenings and events are free.

Did a double feature today. I honestly thought Monster (2023) was going to traumatize me the same way Aftersun (2022) did, but Close (2022) fulfilled that purpose instead. Traumatized early, so I'm choosing to believe the ending of Monster is a happy one. 😔 Thank you, KlikFilm. #FilmSky

Don't watch Top Gun (1986) in IMAX. The IMAX version stays locked at the standard 2.39:1 aspect ratio. Different from Maverick, which expands to 1.90:1 to fill the screen for around ~60 minutes. TL;DR: IMAX CoLa for Top Gun: Maverick (2022), Dolby Cinema/Atmos for Top Gun (1986).

Date cancelled. She watches Netflix Premium and blasts Spotify Premium Platinum on an iPad Pro M5, rather than flying to Melbourne for 1.43:1 IMAX 70mm, or a Kaleidescape on a D65 LG G6 via TrueHD 9.4.6 Atmos setup, then bit-perfect 24/192 artist-direct FLACs on a wired stereo.

Geoff Keighley has spoken out about his late father David Keighley not being included in the In Memoriam at The Oscars. David Keighley was IMAX's first-ever chief quality officer and is the reason why movies like ‘Sinners’ and ‘Oppenheimer’ have been able to shoot in the formats they have.
