I got a new video on Nebula! It's about the surprising differences between the movie No Country for Old Men, and the Cormac McCarthy novel it was based on: nebula.tv/videos/lsoo-...

New project on the 2nd channel is now live: a multi-part recap of the best movies of the 2020s so far, examining not just the most prestigious movies, but also the future cult classics, hidden gems and blockbuster favorites: www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAtO...
26.09.2025 14:15 — 👍 6 🔁 2 💬 1 📌 0I really love the videos @tomvanderlinden.bsky.social has been making and this one hits me deep inside. I love it when a movie makes you think about who you are as a person and additionally prompts you to rise up and change. The movies mentioned here did the same to me.

To act in this world is to put yourself in moral peril, to shake the foundations of your own philosophy, sometimes overwhelmingly so. In such times, when you're no longer sure which way is right, where do you go? Who do you become?

"Alien: Earth's new episode is the best Alien movie in 39 years"
Soooo about that: www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEJb...
Well, in the cinema-related video essay space, it does look like a lot of the attention has shifted toward what I guess can be best called the post-cinemastix-movement, where a bunch of relatively smaller and newer creators are doing quite well
03.09.2025 12:46 — 👍 5 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0One more potential reason: more and better competition. I feel like young folks now have a much better grasp of the basics of editing, audio mixing, storytelling... etc., and new creators come out the gate swinging. Makes it harder for the old folks who have been mostly coasting on 'experience'
03.09.2025 11:58 — 👍 12 🔁 1 💬 1 📌 0**Creators have also always come and gone, but don't think there has ever been as big of a 'generation' of full-time creators as we have now, and so we might just be seeing a more clearly pronounced version of that tipping point where bigger creators start losing more fans than they are gaining
03.09.2025 11:50 — 👍 9 🔁 1 💬 1 📌 0* Trends have always come and gone but we could simply seeing a more significant change, though of course, this itself might be a temporary trend too...
03.09.2025 11:50 — 👍 11 🔁 1 💬 1 📌 0- major shift in audience taste*
- state of the world causing general shift in cultural priorities
- continuation of cultural dilution; more creators/niches but smaller audiences for each of them
- result of the first large group of established creators moving past their peak**
Pretty much my experience as well, I'm still doing fine but it's been a strange year and I definitely feel like I've lost my grip on the 'audience' a bit. Don't think it's the algorithm, but I also can't really think of any other obvious changes that would explain this, so far all I got is...

New video out now on Nebula! Two real life serial killer cases resulted in two investigative movies that would have been virtually identical, except... one of them is directed by David Fincher: nebula.tv/videos/lsoo-...

What movie genres need more first-time filmmakers? youtu.be/qiZyRwmF2aQ

09.08.2025 15:54 — 👍 10 🔁 3 💬 0 📌 0Not going to lie, for me, this is one of the most important cinema essays in the last while... and one of the reasons I continually find myself yelling at the movie screen.
(Although, I do wonder if Conclave slipped on under the radar and is far bleaker than people realize... I hope so!).
Also saw Fantastic Four: First Steps, and it's... not too shabby: letterboxd.com/tomvanderlin...
