Hopefully not *too* hot, don’t want the film to burn

If you ever get a chance to see this on film, go! You can catch the extremely dry and sly joke of Hanks saying “next slide” before a reel change!

Spielberg’s run from 01-05 is his best for many many reasons, but this is one of them

But WWS did premiere at the Lincoln Center, unless you’re saying it probably would’ve premiered there in the NYFF line up if the fest wasn’t online

In short, welcome the new content machine Paraflix+, Paramount’s new streaming site after dragging Netflix into the soup of gobbled conglomerates, coming your way 2029

But the most striking tell that Netflix might be in a financial bind is that nearly every company that’s bought Warners lately has offloaded their debt onto the studio before selling again, and it’d make sense if Netflix was looking to cast off debt but now the new price tag makes that impractical

More than any other streamer, Netflix holds their numbers very close, but there’s been whispers they’re in a tighter, more precarious situation than they let on

I’m just reading tea leaves here but I also think this might show Netflix is not as financially strong of a company as they pretend to be, and they were hoping Warners would juice up subscription numbers and options, the way Disney bundles Hulu and ESPN

Lost 19th century film by Méliès discovered at the Library | Timeless Library conservators recently made a startling discovery in a batch of decaying film reels -- a long-lost 1897 film by early cinema icon George Méliès. The French magician-turned-filmmaker's

"The 45-second film, made around 1897, was the first appearance on film of what might be called a robot"

HELL. YES.

An old ad for Grape-Nuts. It has a box of Grape-Nuts with beefy bare legs and gladiator sandals on for some reason holding on to a man in a suit with too much torso. Obviously Grape-Nuts arems are also beefy. The copy reads: Steadies a Man All of a man's real power comes from steady nerves and a keen, clear brain. Grape-nuts

I was 18 when Munich released. My dad was friends with an Israeli filmmaker, and being a Spielberg nut, I excitedly asked him what he thought of it.

He paused. Then, “I thought like it was a little too sympathetic to the Palestinians.” Even in those pro-Bush days of mine, that comment felt off.

“It gets at something core that remains.”

Goodness what a conversation. Rewatched Munich after Oct 7 and it cut like a sword, sharper than ever. Also, Kushner seems like a great hang.
