I don't think men are losing it, I think it was never really there and the collective refusal of women to do what they thought they were "promised" has lifted the very thin veil...





As I watch this noir , when I watch the movies I love from the era you can see what "good behavior" from men was always contingent on the "goodness" of the women which was always about obedience as much as badness was the opposite...

Reminds me, The first place I ever lived in LA the roommate that owned the place allowed them to film porn there (which of course he didn't inform me of before I moved in)....Boy did I get a surprise coming home from class.

The first time I found out, my Poli Sci teacher called out and that was my last class for the day so I went home early, got home,put my key in the door turned the knob, and someone slams the door on me...

I remember I was just really starting to get into my cinephila knowing next to nothing and I saw Tom Wilkinson's name called at the Oscars and was like "Who the fuck is that guy?" Hell I didn't even recall when In the Bedroom had came out, and it looked liked something... I would never watch. It'd be a year later when I did get to see it, on TDY in a hotel in freakiin Romania, never looked back. He and Sissy Spacek absolutely broke me in that movie, but I also learned then that Wilkinson was a monologuer...

I have been SCOURING the internet looking for anything related to Hardy's voice and it occured to me the missed opportunity in this interview to get the two men responsible for arguably the two most recognizable vocal performances of this century talking abt what went into them https://t.co/itx6gDZp9X

And I'm not talking about what they mentioned in this interview Serkis saying that he was mimicking his cat hacking up a fur ball or Hardy talking abt the Gypsy bare knuckle boxer that inspired his, I'm talking about certain decisions I'm talking abt the mechanics, the pitfalls..

The Batman, Maverick, Avatar 2 and even in granted a smaller way The Woman King and Elvis all and each in their own way challenged and proved that the Marvel formula was not the only way to tell stories. I think all coming out in the same year was as important ... In previous years there was very next to no movies that in any way challenged Marvel in the way of how it brought mainstream audiences to almost universal laudation. ..

Revisit Denzel and Chiwitel have excellent chemistry in this I remember

"The CINEMA THEATER" is taking me OUT 😭😭😭

And this is where I part with this conversation...

I agreed with the post that named commercials because I do think commercials are too small they don't have enough time to truly get into any kind of story and what they are directly meant for is a call that is beneath the art form...

V day is in the books back to a my black history month traditional watch.. Why are so many movies with the the words "The Last" so good. The Last Emporer":"The Last of the Mohicans" "The Last House on the Left" "The Last of the Mohicans" "The Last Picture Show" "The Last Temptation of Christ" "The Last Samurai" ...

That's not what people are missing in movie stars but go off

Tom Cruise got his breakthrough in Risky Business (1983) by 1993 the man had at LEAST four certifiable classics under his belt... I say this because a big part of what people miss about movie stars is the movies!

Didn't even take like 5 minutes and someone came and proved my point about defending one's position rather than seeking to understand in that thread about Superheroe movies and folks being tired 😩.. We all know some things don't deserve a devil's advocate at all we've discussed them everyone knows them there's plenty of threads about that, but movies ain't one of them. Movies definitely deserve devil's advocates, and olive branches...

First time Oh okay so this is one of those "Every frame a painting" movies I see.

I think movies like most things exaggerated a truth. Tbh I participated in being mean. Plenty ppl were mean to me and wlI witnessed alot of ppl being mean. Even those famous groups in the movies had lots of infighting and hierarchies. That's school

Poopular kids were a nasty bunch but I was really shocked when I moved over to the crew I was most comfortable with (which were comic book nerds) and found them to be just as dastardly and maybe that's a product of being male...

First time Timothy Hutton is SOOOO young here

I'm sorry WHAT??? 5 percent

Revisit Bay, is another guy that is actually in that visual family with Mann, Nolan, Scott, Fincher, and crew except he's alot more energetic than they are.

"My revolution thoughts, your little arrows of desire, I want to trace them to the source...And the wiiiiirrreee" One of my best days in LA Phantograms "Blackout Days" was the soundtrack

Revisiting Taylor Paige and Riley Keough are EATING.

NW: Revisit time Ya boy fell right the fuck to sleep lol I was at this part of the movie 😭

The black pain/trauma in movies discourse has been bothering me for awhile now as this is not anywhere near the first iteration, so I wanted to discuss where I agree and what makes it difficult for me to go all the way with...the "Cynthia" I mention is @cynfinite I very much so empathize with the hurt and the pain of having our history so recklessly played with, but also the animus was poorly placed into areas it didn't belong like Steve McQueen and 12 Years A Slave ...

Revisiting because I don't remember much It's definitely got its own style . A very rich world they built here.
