scream 7 fires their highly successful female lead who revitalized their franchise & made them millions of dollars all because of her pro palestinian stance but not a single word from netflix on their side characters in an ensemble cast who are literally saying shit like “zionism is sexy” and advocating for absolutely no ceasefire under any circumstances. this is a hell world.
"do you really think nolan would make a film that's pro-bomb? obviously it's going to be a nuanced take!" given that the extremely mainstream accepted stance of the vast majority of americans (particularly a wealthy middle aged british-american white man???) on both the bomb specifically and american military interventionism more broadly is incredibly rancid imo and is more or less along the lines of "yes it was Bad and horrible, but unfortunately tragically Necessary for the greater good 😔" and most people act like even admitting it was bad on any level beyond just yelling "hoo rah go america fuck japan" is a radically liberal and nuanced take
so uh. lol. yeah no i don't trust christopher nolan, director of batman and dunkirk et al, to have a truly radical or even particularly nuanced perspective in this massive $100M blockbuster film that absolutely for sure has the support of the US government (if not direct military funding - v hard to confirm this for new releases after that report published about a decade ago listing every dod-/pentagon-funded film since wwii that the author compiled through freedom of information act requests). anyways considering they did film on location at los alamos (still owned and managed by the federal government) i feel comfortable claiming that the us govt is fine with it. like lmao you can't make a film about this that is secretly anti-imperialist to the extent that is necessary if you want to actually properly talk about oppenheimer so like. whatever. all this discourse is so unbelievably fucking dumb and unserious lol every usamerican war movie is fundamentally Bad i don't give a fuck.
spent ages preparing to audition for a role I really really wanted and it's looking like (still unconfirmed) they might not even be holding auditions at all but have just given it to someone directly
which, meh, that sucks but that's the industry!
I'm just like now what? I spent a lot of my free time the last few months prepping and I genuinely don't know what to do with myself now!
a list of celebrities who thanked Joe Biden for his active support of the genocide in gaza, in case you need to know whose bullshit opinions on human rights to disregard in the future:
editing this original post to say that emma seligman (director of bottoms and shiva baby) has removed her name from the letter + made a statement about how it was added due to a miscommunication with her team
Jack Lemmon (Some Like It Hot, The Great Race, The Apartment)—he's just a little guy! just a little little guy! in every movie you can tell something is wrong with him but he never specifies what. if you want to see him being (barely) sane you can watch "it happened to jane" (starring doris day as a rando lady who farms lobsters for a living) but if you want to see him WEIRD you should see him as a deranged little warlock in "bell book and candle". also please look at the propaganda photo I submitted of this man it will sell you on him i promise

One thing I truly and absolutely adored about Glass Onion was that Blanc stepped back.
Every other movie about a detective always shows them pushing through to the end and breaking the rules and getting their man but Blanc is always very clear about where his jurisdiction ends and allows the victims to actually pursue their justice. It’s such an underrated aspect and I love it.
I've posted about this before but ive been slowly working my way through old family recipes, some of them ive had very frequently, some i haven't had since i was a kid, and some i didnt even know existed. on the one hand its been really infuriating that my parents stopped making most of these but on the other hand its been an absolutely magical experience making things that i haven't had since i was 7 and remembering memories i had no idea i had and also rewarding when i correctly decipher my grandmas handwriting
hot take of the day. if barbie is Woman and ken is Man then alan is a Secret Third Thing. this claim is supported by the entire movie existing and also because i said so
Imagine my surprise when I wanted to buy dvds and blurays of some of my fav movies only to realize that germany stopped physical copy production almost completely.
Can‘t buy them online or in a shop. Only a few left and even if they’re available they’re expensive af. For example: Sony stopped distributing in Germany completely, only for a few „chosen titles“ through a partner company. Also there’s the discussion that if there’s a movie release then only in english. I love to watch movies with fam and I am the only one that understands english, so there’s that…
And all that happened two months ago-ish. And guess what happened two to three months ago in hollywood :)
if that isn’t one tactic to keep people dependent on streaming services I don’t know what is
petition for interviewers to stop reading sexual tweets and shit in front of celebrities when they're clearly not comfortable with it. each note is a sign of support.
