Have come to the conclusion that the “America” number from Spielberg’s #WestSideStory is the greatest uninterrupted five and a half minutes of feature film ever produced. youtu.be/hoQEddtFN3Q?...

Completely over the moon for Thom Andersen’s opus “Los Angeles Plays Itself.” Nearly three hours of the most fascinating piece of criticism I’ve ever encountered. Among other things, it finds time to extol the Dragnet franchise, critique L.A.’s transit system and rip a Diane Keaton movie to shreds.

i’ve seen the trailer for one battle after another enough times and in enough theaters to say that it’s the best trailer of the 2020s. “thank you sensei,” that little rug unrolling and the bits of score we hear are perfect every single time.

People saying F1 is a riff on the Top Gun Maverick formula… It’s more obviously a riff on Apple’s own Ted Lasso. Brad Pitt is Ted, pit crew is front office, owner vs shareholder tension.

if the ticketmaster queue is to be believed, there are ~100k people trying to get tickets to addison rae’s los angeles concert at the wiltern, which has a 2300 person capacity lol

Los Angeles school police will set up a safety perimeter around campuses and school events — including graduations — to keep federal immigration agents away from students, employees and families, school officials said.

overcompensating is soooo sharply written, every joke lands, the ensemble is so strong and it manages to be both a farcical and poignant depiction of college life like benito skinner you really did that shit!!

me: can we watch mission impossible?

mom: we have mission impossible at home.

[mission impossible at home]

Even more insane is that, of the two, The Rehearsal has the more jaw-dropping aerial photography. Lost my mind at one of Nathan’s direct stares down the camera.

Insane to me that Nathan Fielder in The Rehearsal finale on HBO pulls off a greater stunt – commits to a more impressive bit – than Tom Cruise in the Mission: Impossible movie currently playing in theaters.

#MissionImpossible: The Final Reckoning is a mess! Chaotic and plotty, but every so often McQuarrie throws down something completely mesmerizing. Interestingly less reliant action. I loved that it’s littered with character actor performances. Bless Tom Cruise for deciding to go full Animaniac.

amc adds a fourth slot to a-list’s weekly movie limit tomorrow. we prayed for times like this.

knew the sold out crowd at the vista for sinners was gonna be an all timer when everyone was hootin and hollerin for the elmer fudd preshow. when the duck season poster hit the screen we all held hands and started levitating. hands down best theater experience. this is why we go to the movies folks.

At #Coachella for the first time ever. Having the time of my life. Not overstimulated whatsoever.

reaching heretofore unseen levels of being back

RIP to one of the greats

just wrapped up severance and now we’re all watching the studio, two tv shows i intend to be extremely normal about thank you very much

John Carpenter happily agreed to score Bong Joon Ho’s upcoming horror movie during their Q&A.

Carpenter also motioned to the clock several times and said he needed to leave asap to “eat his drug dealer.”

John Carpenter talking to Bong Joon Ho before a screening of “The Thing.”

“Special effects are a huge pain in the ass. They mostly look like crap,” says Carpenter.

loved the museums new color in motion exhibit which has some great interactive installations, but i was taken aback by the costume display. the dress from portrait of a lady on fire stopped me in my tracks.

visited the bong joon ho exhibit at the @academymuseum.bsky.social today and saw his copious storyboards among other cool stuff. but learned he was a total movie freak from a young age. he even ran a bootleg movie club with a library of films on vhs and logged his collection by hand in a notebook

#Severance Season 2 ended with a crisis of conscience that led innie Mark to make a critical choice in the face of an uncertain future. Here, Adam Scott, Britt Lower, Dichen Lachman, Ben Stiller and Dan Erickson discuss “Cold Harbor,” the mind-blowing finale. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

severance finale good enough to make me like ben stiller

There’s a scene in “Black Bag” where Cate Blanchett pushes an elevator button in a way no other human ever has or ever will. Seeing acting like that is, frankly, why I wake up in the morning.

I ran (across the street) in the L.A. marathon (to get back to my apartment).

nothin better than seeing my personal friends the looney tunes on the big screen

vin diesel should announce the best picture winner at next year’s oscars

insanely good severance theory in here and just a really great conversation with lindelof. could listen to him talk about tv for hours!

Love this old theater in Seal Beach that’s been restored. Its grand reopening is the premiere of “Harbour Chronicles,” a new film about Rich Harbour, a local surf legend whose surf shop is right across the street from the theater.
