New video out now! I think 2025 has been a great year for television, and to honor that, this year, for the first time, I've made a dedicated video in which I rank my 10 favorite shows of 2025, and also list a few honorable mentions: youtu.be/b1tGOxFM3NE

Lots of articles and videos around at the moment, about how a lot of modern cinema is missing something. If you ingest one of these explainers, please let it be this one.
This gentleman truly knows what makes good cinema. And articulates it all perfectly imho.

For anyone who wants a smart, focused, professionally assembled explanation for why movies have changed their visuality perception, this video is a must-see. Bravo, @tomvanderlinden.bsky.social #filmsky

I love these deep dives into why current cinema often doesn't feel as real as older films, and yeah, I do think the lack of deep focus and interesting cinematography is part of it

I loved Train Dreams specifically because of how, despite it not being very subtle at times, it gives the audience a vantage point that the characters didn't have, and in doing so, it lets us find our own meanings beyond the ones that the characters themselves dictated

I get why people compare Train Dreams to Terrence Malick, but the latter likes to put you directly in the interiority of its subjects while the former distinctly keeps you on the outside - one is about identification, the other about witnessing; different things, both valid

Thank you so much everyone!
This is a great video from @tomvanderlinden.bsky.social on why films often don't feel as real any more and the (haptic) elements that trick your body into thinking you are actually there. It explains why I move in my seat so much during the test run scene in Top Gun: Maverick #films #science 🧪

I know this is making the rounds, but I found it super intriguing and it hits on some thoughts about the experience of watching "modern" films in comparison to films from the 70s, of which I've been watching many recently...

Why don't movies feel "real" anymore? My deep dive into the first principles of cinematic immersion is out now on YouTube: youtu.be/tvwPKBXEOKE

I watched the actual debut film by Christopher Nolan, which had been considered lost media for 31 years, until someone finally found it: youtu.be/0ReH175Inr8

I saw Bugonia last week, and I'm feeling conflicted about it. It's well made, with great performances, plotting and music, but... thematically, it's kind of a mess: www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPLA...
