Of course there have always been crappy movies. I have never met one cinephile that denied that. But film as an artform has changed dramatically, especially in the past two decades, for a variety of reasons, mostly due to corporate interests. The streamification of cinema has been so harmful to it.

Jimmy Fallon is the Pete Hegseth of late night hosts. Both are unqualified drunk pieces of shit with no morals an no spine pretending they're cool and willing to do anything for love they will never receive.

I'd be absolutely beside myself.

As bad as the Netflix deal might be, it’s a way better option than the Ellisons, the Saudis and Trump getting hold of Warner. Debating theatrical windows with Ted Sarandos is small time compared to the damage that sick bunch is going to do to movies, television and journalism

Salò, or The 120 Days Of Sodom, by Various Artists 16 track album

OMFG. I'm not sure if I've ever rushed to pre-order something as quick as I did this. Definitely an early Christmas present to myself but know way I am letting a limited vinyl copy of the soundtrack to SALO by #pasolini pass me by! Listening to me free download now at @bandcamp.com

It’s gonna be so cool when the only movies left in theatres are, like, a sixth try at a Superman reboot and Triumph of the Will 2: Electric Boogaloo

Once years ago I got to see an actual film print of this screened at the KY Theater in Lexington with Hunter Carson in attendance. All grown up. He shared some lovely me memories and signed a lobby card for me. Adored Kinski. Very special day.

Sorry, films today aren't the same. I see people (myself included) being gaslit daily about this online but, no, sorry it has changed.
We've lost so much.
Btw, there are somedays that I think Paul Newman's performance in this is the GOAT in film history.
Today is one of those days...

Pretty much the best performance ever. I think about him in this film all the time.

ROSA (1986) from 88 Films Blu-ray Less than two years before his landmark directorial debut AS TEARS GO BY hit theaters in 1988, noted auteur Wong Kar-Wai was spending everyday hustlin', just like so many of his other peers who eventually created the nineties alongside him. Kar-Wai spent much of the eighties shuffling through the film industry in various roles, even appearing in front of the cameras occasionally.

@bsky.app PLEASE FIX YOUR BOT ACCOUNT PROBLEM.
I used to be on here constantly and rarely am anymore because of it and I'm sure I'm not alone. The Blue Maga bots are especially rampant.

Imagine buying one of the most historic libraries of art in the history of cinema and you bring up Harry Potter and The Big Bag Theory. Thank God I have over 100 years of International cinema to focus on because watching anything 'Hollywood' produces moving forward will be a rare event for me.

Buddy, that's what we hired you to do, but you and Merrick Garland were too cowardly to prosecute the motherfucker with urgency, so here we are. Better men have committed seppuku for less.

If it makes you feel any better a lot of those fawning replies look to be from Bot accounts. It made me feel a little better at least but knowing some are real is depressing and infuriating.

Not to argue with a Bot account, but he'll be remembered for one thing and one thing only. Intentionally not ensuring the criminal accountability of Trump and everyone around him and then losing the country to them. That's his legacy.

Says the clown who allowed all this to happen by not doing THE ONE goddamn thing he most needed to. Let me guess, the 'fight' he's referring to involves us going out and voting again for a party that clearly refuses to get the job done as well as, most importantly, giving money to them.

What if all this is just a plan by Netflix to get THE DEVILS released again.

Also, this reminds me of when Morricone verbally shredded QT after The Hateful Eight. Like absolutely eviscerated him.

Godard is God.

Also, the funny thing about the whole Tarantino-Paul Dano thing is that I don't think QT has any concept of just how by a thread he is hanging on with a lot of (especially younger) people at this point and he might have just snapped it.
