Max Landis, Whose Career Imploded During #MeToo, Returns with ‘G.I. Joe’ Movie at Paramount (Exclusive) At the same time, Danny McBride will also be writing a separate 'G.I. Joe' script, with both projects potentially being combined down the line.

Fucking hell when I pointed out this morning Ellison had a history of hiring (untalented) men who faced allegations of sexual harassment, had no idea a new one would drop in hours www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

Brilliant and very accurate.

Today I was reminded that there was a character on Patriot named Jack Birdbath, and he wouldn't even come close to cracking a Top 10 Weirdest Things About Patriot list

die Tatsache, dass so ziemlich jedes Science-Fiction-Konzept von den größten Corporate Faschisten-Arschlöchern gekapert wurde, macht es mir nicht gerade leicht, eine meiner Lieblings-Sci-Fi-Serien der letzten Jahre anzufeuern www.youtube.com/watch?v=zojw...

“astrology for men” was too generous

‘Andor’ Creator Tony Gilroy Gives the Interview He Couldn’t During Its Release While promoting his cautionary tale about fascism, Disney asked Gilroy to refrain from using the word. Nine months after it aired its finale, the 'Star Wars' series feels scarily prescient.

“We were stunned [about the prescience] for a while, but we’ve really gotten to the point where it’s really sad. It’s just sad how predictable and lame and obvious and wrong it all is. Fascism is just a total fail in the end.” www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-featur...

I made this very same point on one of the few podcasts I've appeared on. We were talking about MILLER'S CROSSING and BARTON FINK, and watching those movies again made me think "Turturro is amazing and no one ever points that out anymore."

the main reason to go after the rich is that if you don’t the entire structure of your society is predicated on the whims of people who are entirely disconnected from ordinary life

billionaires are simply too dangerous to exist, and any budgetary stuff that comes out of it is just a bonus

And after all that, the Pitt/Cruise AI fight scene appears to have been just digital BG and face replacement on multi-angle green screen reference videos of two real live human stuntees fighting.

In other words, like most AI hype — it was a con. www.shokunin.studio/blog/2026/2/...

“I’ve gotten interested in these very little, subtle things you usually don’t see in movies, very quiet, tiny, little moments that you see in life and which are very difficult to put into a movie. I watch people a lot and look for those moments.”

- Tom Noonan, R.I.P.

RIP Tom Noonan, a friend for 18 years. Often typecast as villains, he was an actor's actor, a unique playwright & filmmaker, a gifted composer, and a pianist with a sweet voice. My kids & I used to go to his tiny apartment for dinner (pizza). We'd have a few drinks & he'd start to play. Magic.

TV I Love: 'Terriers' Looking back at the short-lived FX detective drama I can't shut up about

New for What Else Is Alan Watching? subscribers: a look back at one of my all-time favorite brilliant-but-canceled series, the FX detective drama Terriers.

Someone tell Hillary that this is her husband’s legacy too

If there are still people to reflect on what is happening now in a 100 years, they will have a damning view of the easy ride the far right was given by the mainstream elite

Incredible how the institutions we were told would protect us from fascism did not simply crumble but opened the gates

When depoliticization and preemptive obedience are the institutional policy in culture, we end up with such insightful and brave vocabulary as "sad" (- Berlinale) to describe a situation where racist state policy damages the institution and its artists.

We could spend all day talking about great Duvall performances and never run out, but I always think about OPEN RANGE (2003) - specifically, seeing it opening weekend and being keenly aware that Duvall had been doing it for so long by then that he really just *existed* onscreen. God, what an actor.

I know a lot of people still like to draw a bright line between movies and television, but you simply cannot fully measure Duvall's greatness without taking in all eight hours of his work as Gus McCrae in Lonesome Dove. Treat yourselves if you can.

A Knight of Seven Kingdoms zeigt sich auch in seinem vermeintlich kleinen aber dafür meisterhaft inszenierten Schlachtengemälde hundertmal nervenaufreibender und spannender als alle Kabbeleien zwischen CGI-Drachen zusammengenommen.
