Dropping tomorrow.

The more I think about THE BRUTALIST, the more I think it boils down to two essential tenets that unlock a lot of what it is about & what it has to say:

1) Capitalism corrupts absolutely

2) It's about a man who just wants to maintain his dignity but finds he can simply can't

What is the greatest chase scene in TV or Film?

As much as I love FURY ROAD and FURIOSA, the final chase scene from MAD MAX 2 aka THE ROAD WARRIOR might just be the best in a series full of incredible chase scenes

Thank you! ☺️ And, not to toot my own horn, but I agree 👀😬😅

Biopics about fictitious people Films that are written, told and framed as biopics about real life celebrities/renowned figures but they are about fictitious characters. Entries cannot be adapted from/based on books, plays or other ...

In honour of being completely bowled over by Brady Corbet’s #TheBrutalist, I started a new @letterboxd.social list: boxd.it/DvKsk

What else needs adding?

Between this experience, the promotion of subscribed engagement farming accounts, and all the outright evil being spewed, it’s finally crossing over into completely unusable territory for me now.

Find me on here a lot more often moving forwards! [3/3]

and even when I’ve gotten double digit retweets (pitch contests) my tweets are hardly getting 3 digit views. I use Twitter to try and engage with various groups and communities but it’s damn near impossible now. Is the algorithm actively punishing those who don’t want to see Musk’s posts? [2/3]

Wonder if anyone else has experienced this?

I’ve got over 1.5k followers on Twitter, the other week I had Musk’s tweets appear on my For You tab and literally ever since I clicked “Not interested in this post” my account engagement has plummeted, my tweets get only double digit views [1/3]

He definitely used anarchy as a means to an end for his own goals, so how he then would have ruled remains to be seen.
Agree on the Lucius point, but I think it’s just kind of a studio thing of “we need to end the movie on a hopeful note.”

#Gladiator2: Paul Mescal eats an Angle Slam through a table, Denzel cocks his wrist robes every 15 minutes, Joseph Quinn can’t find enough scenery to chow down on, there are killer monkeys, rhinos and sharks.

A massive, campy Roman melodrama full of anarchists - I had a BLAST.

ANDOR meets ROBIN HOOD: PRINCE OF THIEVES

From orphan to outlaw.

From outlaw to hero.

From hero to revolutionary.

A retelling of the legend of Robin Hood that sees the young hero's story recast and reframed through an antifascist, anti-monarchist lens. #workinprogress #YA #HistoricalFiction

As I’ve gained dozens of followers overnight (mostly writers) I thought it a good time to properly introduce myself to #booksky #writingcommunity and #author ☺️ 📚💙

I’m David, and I write #YA fiction. I’m currently editing a retelling of ROBIN HOOD, told through an antimonarchist & antifascist POV 🏹✊

I don’t know, something about some guy from Romania

Are you looking forward to Nosferatu by any chance?

I feel mislead by all dystopian literature. It's supposed to be a powerful authoritarian government that lords over a cowering population, and and we just need need a few brave acts of heroism to give the people the courage to rise up.

Instead it's just half the country being dumb and mean.

Arnold has and will always be greater than Stallone. This week further confirms it.

I revisited Costner’s HORIZON recently. Rich in being, patient and relaxed, yet so purposeful. Small, detailed strokes on an enormous canvas. We should herald this huge creative swing from Costner in the same way we do late-stage Scorsese, Spielberg & Coppola. Messy and beautiful.
