He did. That was part of the budget absurdity.

Hoppers Review: Pixar Becomes One With Nature • The Austin Chronicle Mabel Tanaka (voiced by Piper Curda) is no Doctor Dolittle. She loves animals – a lot more than she does people – but all she can do is watch. Luckily, her college biology professor (Kathy Najimy) has...

Hoppers is the kind of fun Pixar comedy that carries a big, necessary message in a warm way. That, and it's got some top notch beaver comedy, and I'm pretty sure that Dave Franco is now a Disney prince. www.austinchronicle.com/screens/film...

Grimm Guignol Ryan Gosling's directorial debut melds fantasy and realism

Apropos of nothing, has Ryan Gosling ever been less than great in every movie he made?

Also you need to see the only film he ever directed, Lost River, which I love beyond words. www.austinchronicle.com/screens/grim...

The Bride! Review: Frankenstein’s Riot Grrrl • The Austin Chronicle In punk cinema, you’re either a Derek Jarman or an Alex Cox. Jarman was a master of subversive control, a genius in finding beauty in ugliness and perversion in the divine. Alex Cox threw everything a...

The Bride! is the second weird cinematic cover version in recent weeks which spent more time on odd grammar in the title than on the script. www.austinchronicle.com/screens/film...

Molly, there are rules about posting porn on here.

De Luca still sees himself as a New Line script guy who somehow lucked into being an exec, and is riding that train until the wheels come off. He loves movies and the theatrical experience.

How I arrived on BlueSky.

Eh, there are traces of Caravaggio in the cinematography, but it's more Cox's "anarchy for anarchy's sake."

I've seen comparisons to "Wuthering Heights" and both needed to know what the hell they were trying to be.

How I arrived on BlueSky.

The Bride! reminds me why, when it comes to punk cinema, I prefer Derek Jarman to Alex Cox. I admire the big swings, but nothing connects.

"He *SMASH* owe me" is just an ungodly line delivery.

We genuinely do not talk enough about what a force of nature James Earl Jones was. No one will ever come close to his Troy Maxson. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVZr...

Electric Owl Creative Craft the Captivating See Campaigns

Anyone need a film/video editor? I'm finishing up a project and looking for my next one. I do commercials, trailers, shorts, features, music videos and more! www.electricowlcreative.com

The U2 thing is complicated because a: it reminded people their phone is not really theirs and b: if U2 turned up at my front door and offered to do a free gig in my back yard, I'd turn the sprinklers on.

Cut but online, which probably means it didn't make it past standards and practices.

So the SNL Tourettes sketch may not be the worst thing the show has ever done but it's really strong contender.

WHY DOES THIS HEI-HEI HAVE JAUNDICE????

Not "the media." Columnists do. Conflict zone reporters hate it. That's why the US military has gone to such great lengths to replace independent reporters in war zones with embedded reporters. They don't want a repeat of how photos of the Highway of Death destroyed pro-war sentiment.

The trailer for the live-action Moana ran before our press screening of Hopper and I swear I thought that film had been released already.

SXSW Film Review: Monolith Australian audio-horror builds tone through sound

Monolith, one of my favorite low-fi, high-concept horrors, has just dropped on Shudder. Watch it with your headphones on.

Yeah, but the crossover three-parter with 12oz Mouse and Xavier: Renegade Angel was an all-timer.

Lemon, it's only etc etc.

Any film critics getting to SXSW before the fest starts - HMU.

I've been a regional film desk editor. They do not. Freelance budgets are in the crapper.

Trades, yes, but they don't care. Regional press do not have that latitude.

I mean, Pegasus 3 opened on one screen in Austin. Another issue is navigating distributors who aren't that bothered about US press. Same with Indian cinema. You only find out a film is opening on Wednesday.
