Do you think Arnold Schwarzenegger bullies Chris Pratt at family gatherings?

Terence Stamp in Red Planet

Terence Stamp in The Phantom Menace

Terence Stamp in Priscilla

Terence Stamp as Général Zod

RIP Terence Stamp. Goodbye General Zod, Chancellor Valorum, Jor-El in Smallville, and Prophet of Truth in Halo 3.

Terence Stamp was also in Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, Red Planet, Last Night in Soho, Miss Peregrine, Big Eyes, Alien Nation, Wall Street, and many more movies.

He was 87.

will never forget listening to Corman on a podcast about Cameron’s career a couple of years ago vigorously defending his budgets even though he had resented movies like Jaws encroaching on his B-movie empire

🥹

kiwis are so fast because the story about his citizenship being finalised only came out like two hours ago and they already updated his wikipedia page to describe him as a “New Zealand filmmaker”

oh, cook!

me every time there’s a new “highest-grossing movie directed by a woman” that I’m apparently obliged to pretend I like solely for that reason

Celine Song getting asked about a stupid letterboxd meme review of Materialists and giving a lecture on the anti-capitalist history of feminism has won a place in my heart for all time.

Boots Riley was getting dragged from one end of the internet to the other being called stupid for agreeing with him and suggesting the movie empathised with Oppenheimer meanwhile Nolan literally said the goal was to do that. “We’re placing you inside his head.” What are we doing here.

They’re literally friends people just discoursed too close to the sun when it came to presenting Oppenheimer as a moral product and now light criticism or just factual statements drives them crazy.

And that’s because he is speaking from a context of knowing what happened to Charles Pellegrino after the publication of his first book.

People wildly misinterpreted his original quote about Oppenheimer too because if you read it closely you will see that he is actually suggesting the studio would not have allowed Nolan to do it.

You know what is also legal is actually looking into what Japanese people have to say about the idea of him making this movie but nobody wants to do that either lol.

People are just so stupid and ignorant about this topic and have no idea of the current political context around it either. He has to engage in sophistry because if he said what he actually thought in plain language this movie would never get released.

It’s crazy how he is actually refusing to both sides Hiroshima lmao. Like that is what “getting into the politics” means: indulging US propaganda arguments about it being justifiable.

He has mentioned more than once that he will likely do that because he wants to get the cultural context right and he doesn’t want to present it from an American perspective.

it’s crazy how James Cameron is usually coming from a reasonable place because he actually reads books before he opens his mouth but people online won’t even read articles and who gets to suffer as a result of this dynamic? me. 💔

I did actually spend all day touching grass with a friend so I am no longer as annoyed as I was when I wrote this but still why are people like this 😭

He said “let’s all read some books” but unfortunately people online won’t even read articles.

They said that one was going to be tasteless and morally indefensible at the time too.

No you sound so smart right now, I completely agree the guy who made millions of people the world over cry for the victims of the Titanic lacks the ability to approach the topic of a historical tragedy that he’s read dozens of books on and met with the survivors of with tact and empathy.

Because why do I have to see them saying every day more or less that he is the only filmmaker with the tact and sensitivity to cover a historical atrocity in film while he is currently being called to account by Javier Bardem and others for filming in occupied Western Sahara.

Chris Nolan’s fans seem really determined to make me hate the guy at times.

I assumed it must have been an oversight by Disney at the time and it turns out that was the case because one of my friends was trying to watch recently and got hit with this notice:

They did have to remove this unfortunately lol.

wait what quote?

this becomes true if you say it enough times

lmaooo

help me they do know each other

James Cameron on Oceangate is what Elon Musk wanted that cave diving incident to be for himself
