The logic of algorithms tends to repeat what “works,” but art opens up what is possible. Not everything has to be immediate or predictable. Defend slowness when it serves a purpose, silence when it speaks and difference when evocative. Beauty is not just a means of escape; it is above all an invocation. When cinema is authentic, it does not merely console, but challenges. It articulates the questions that dwell within us, and sometimes, even provokes tears that we did not know we needed to express.

Some inspiring words on cinema in the streaming era from the Pope.

Yes, THAT Pope.

Yeah his record is great, but something seems different here. Maybe the pressure is too great.

Good post! It’s a bit troubling to me that Amorim seems so reluctant to use youth talent, given the lack of depth in the squad.

I just discovered that The Mastermind is already out of theaters, after a tiny release. Same with Preparation for the Next Life earlier this year. It’s immensely frustrating

We watched the latest one last night. I'm very curious how they're going to sustain this for a whole season, let alone multiple seasons.

The strange thing about Pluribus is that the tone is comedic, yet the story is pure horror. I like the show but it doesn’t feel like it’s fully reckoning with the implications of what it’s showing.

I find Paris, Texas so frustrating. It’s stunningly made and so much of it is so compelling, but it’s got such a weird understanding of parenthood that it kinda repels me.

The whole movie looks way too sterile. No real sense of warmth or intimacy.

That’s right!

Aftersun. That final shot is breathtaking and heartbreaking.

Only the dumb ones

You’re making me homesick now.

I felt incredibly old

Oh my Amad. What a strike! #mufc

“Sir, you’re wearing the Tyler Durden shirt. Have you seen Fight Club? You should watch it.” - Teenage trick-or-treater to me wearing a Hawaiian shirt.

The first time my wife visited Norway, she was like “why would you eat a gas station hot dog?” Now she insists on it every time we visit.

Make better decisions, Faine. The correct combo is bacon-wrapped hot dog with potato salad, ketchup, and hot dog dressing.

There’s an exercise machine called Jacob’s Ladder at my gym and I will never not find that funny

This made me wanna rewatch Prince of Darkness (it’s been three years since the last time). Confirmed: five-star movie.

I saw Destroyer at Fantastic Fest many years ago and I still don’t understand why it didn’t get a bigger following. Earth-shattering performance from Nicole Kidman.

Yes, quite a lot of

The haters are wrong. Top stuff. Nauseatingly so.

I am watching A House of Dynamite and it is stressing me the fuck out.

Inspired by tonight’s double feature of Bones and All + Cannibal Apocalypse. On second viewing, clear that Bones is one of Guadagnino’s best.

Free double screening idea: Dawn of the Dead + Secret Mall Apartment

What about something from the French New Extremity movement?

Fulci’s trilogy. City of the Living Dead, The Beyond, and The House by the Cemetery. No direct connection, but thematically similar. The Beyond is my favorite. Stone cold classic.

That’s a real banger. It took me a couple of tries, like with several of Fulci’s movies, but I love it now. Have you seen The Gates of Hell trilogy?

Nobody’s perfect ;)

Incidentally, I was actually planning on watching it tonight. Wife is out of town, so mainlining horror for three days straight (when not taking care of the children, of course).

Gonna have to respectfully disagree with you there. I love the middle part, though that is more satire than horror.
