They should make a Lego 12 Angry Men set. Fuck it why not

The Arcane Agenda isn't a miracle. It's a curse.
Myself and @hippocritical.bsky.social have exposed @sheevtalks.bsky.social to the Anora Agenda. I'm sure he'll love the discourse too.
Conclave was the Best Picture nominee that I was most excited to see and I was not disappointed. This movie is awesome. The screenplay is fantastic, full of thematically rich dialogue that's enhanced by terrific performances, especially from Ralph Fiennes, who's very understated. Though...
I've just seen A Complete Unknown and I think it's pretty good. As far as musician biopics go, it could have been a lot worse. In the end, it's a straightforward character study about a man who wanted to secure a legacy that would reach beyond and change the art movement he was attached to.
Ladies and Gentlemen, the Moustache has returned 😃 Check out this great new video by my pall @actuallyandrew.bsky.social on the topic of Youtuber Movies and when they go very very wrong. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPhy...
Critical Drinker's Movie is an Absolute Embarrassment.

I love that this thing is now canonically called the Noisemaker.

From what I'm hearing, Daredevil: Born Again is a trainwreck. Frankly, this doesn't surprise me.
Demi Moore losing to Mikey Madison should be a post-credits scene to The Substance.
The best movie of 2024 isn’t even at the Oscars
Massive shoutout to Karla Sofía Gascón for single-handedly destroying any chance of Emilia Pérez winning Best Picture. What a legend.
Of the seven Best Picture nominees that I've seen from this year's line-up, Anora would be my ideal winner.
Now that I've seen The Brutalist (a very good movie), I'm ready to give my thoughts on the Adrien Brody controversy. From what I've seen, it's unclear whether they used AI to replace all of Brody's Hungarian dialogue or if they used it to touch up specific pronunciations which sounded inauthentic.
I just suffered through YMS' defences for Emilia Pérez. I've never seen someone miss the point so fucking hard. How can you make these arguments and not realise how fucking worthless they are, unless you're being disingenuous? This really pissed me off.
The sixth episode of Invincible S3 was... interesting. My feelings are somewhat mixed right now, but I feel like this will change once the season ends (at which point, I plan to rewatch the whole show).
one of my favorite running storylines in culture is that people treat JAMES BOND as a franchise full of classic, beloved movies that has only recently lost its way, when the reality is that literally almost every single movie in the history of the franchise sucks.
I don't think people who have this mindset when engaging with media should be allowed anywhere near these awards ceremonies.
Culture Crave 🍿@culturecrave.co · 2y ago4 anonymous Oscar voters admitted they didn’t watch #Dune2 and abstained from ranking it on their Best Picture ballot One voter said, “The first Dune, I couldn't get through; I'm not rushing for another three hours of Dune” (via EW)
I was recently struck by the urge to rewatch The Big Short and finally gave in. You should go and watch it too, it's an awesome movie.
The (very late) Andor S2 trailer was pretty cool but, after Arcane S2, I'm not using it as any indicator of the season's quality -- especially when considering the troubles that it's faced during production. Anything is possible. I hope it's good.
Nickel Boys is a good movie that I think is held back by its style. I feel like the story's direction is heavily restricted by the filmmakers' choice to almost only use POV shots throughout; and this reminded me a lot of 1917, a film which I think suffers from a similar problem.
Today, I learned that I'm a coward, according to Garth Marenghi.
Only left-wing, Post-Modernist academics deny the reality of Atlantis.
I would've preferred her over Chau and Curtis, but Kerry Condon and especially Stephanie Hsu were more deserving. Bassett still would have been a pretty cool winner though.
Culture Crave 🍿@culturecrave.co · 2y agoAngela Bassett defends feeling disappointed she didn't win an Oscar for #BlackPanther2 "I thought I was deserving" "I have put in [the time] ... I didn’t think that was a gift. I thought it was a given" (via T&C)
The new Invincible episode is probably the weakest of the season so far. I still thought it was decent overall, but it had some problems.
