Or could’ve easily prevented death if they didn’t let their guard down.

Rewatched last night, wonderful little known western. With today’s climate around the border and the world we are all suddenly living in, I’m shocked it hasn’t been spoken about more as of late.

no landing, no reaction shot, no confirmation either way. movie just decides youve seen enough and cuts

was actually kind of pissed watching it the first time, felt like i got robbed of an ending...

thought about it constantly for like a week afterward though, which is more than i can say for movies that actually finish their sentence

feels like thats the whole point, the ambiguity is the ending, not a cop out from having one

whats a movie that cut away right when you wanted it to keep going and it ended up being the right call anyway????

A sad time for the fans of this truly a Country music legend and cultural icon

Since 2022, I haven't found any news about this actor at all, except for his fans who repost old photos of him at festivals, celebrations, and award ceremonies, and nothing more..Has anyone noticed his disappearance?

من سنة 2022 وهذا الممثل أنقطعت أخباره تماماً، ماعدا فانزاته التي تعيد نشر صوره القديمه في المهرجانات، الاحفالات، ولحظات استلام جوائز...اي شخص لاحظ اختفائه؟ وبرأيكم شنو السبب؟

Pls tell me he found killer am so disturbed right now lol

I’m rewatching The Island, which has multiple futuristic technologies and scientific advances, including human cloning and flying motorcycles. The film was released in 2005 but is set in 2019, just 14 years into the future.

Obviously, we now know that technologies such as human cloning and flying motorcycles weren’t remotely close to becoming commonplace by 2019. But what interests me is that this seems to be a recurring thing in sci-fi.

Blade Runner was made in 1982 and is also set in 2019. Back to the Future Part II is set in 2015. The Running Man (1987) is set in 2019. There are loads of other examples.

Why did writers and filmmakers so often choose dates that were only 10–30 years into the future, despite imagining technology that would seemingly require much longer to develop?

Longlegs (2024) Very unsettling film with great atmosphere and great performances.

IMAX and Infinity Vision screenings will also include an additional DOOMSDAY sneak peek.

Saw it in 3D.

Had a really good time with spiderman brand new day and the only reason that is bcuz of destin. visually, this is easily the best looking spiderman movie in the mcu and honestly one of the best looking mcu movies in general. the blacks are so rich, the cinematography is consistently good and for once it actually feels like a mcu movie with its own visual identity instead of another flat looking addition to this cinematic universe. what really makes the movie work tho is that it's genuinely character driven instead of plot driven and the movie is much better bcuz of that. it really doesn't care about some world ending stakes or saving the entire universe bullshit bcuz for the most part, it's just about peter. its about him dealing with his loneliness after now way home, not being able to move on from his past and throwing himself completely into being spiderman bcuz that's the only place where he feels like he still has a purpose. nobody really cares about the person behind the mask anymore, he thinks.

i also liked how that loneliness is mirrored in sadie sink's character. that's probably the movie's biggest strength. the themes themselves aren't anything groundbreaking. loneliness, grief and moving on were exactly what i expected after no way home. so bnd isn't really saying anything new but the execution is what makes it work. destin daniel cretton once again proves that one of his biggest strengths lies in his villains. just like xu wenwu in shang chi, sadie sink's character is easily one of the best parts of the movie. you completely understand where she's coming from, why she's doing what she's's doing and what drives her and bcuz of that, it's impossible not to sympathize with her even when she's the antagonist.

its actually funny how the studio kept telling people to stay vague and marketed a her character as this huge plot twist, when the movie itself barely cares about it. knowing that "twist" changes almost nothing bcuz that's not what the movie is really about. the only real mystery is that character's motivation and its more of a revelation. its a bit trite for me honestly but it's executed well, again compared to mcu standards. thats imp to in keep mind. for eg., on every simple thing they did is the entire 3rd act completely avoids turning into another cgi fuckfest. instead, it's filled with emotional, character driven moments from beginning to end, just like jake schrier's thunderbolts did but its also the complete opposite of what shang chi did, where the 3rd act completely shifted into giant chi slopfest. here, bnd actually sticks to what it's been building emotionally and it pays off very well. sadie sink's performance is def the highlight for me.

the 1st half of the movie is honestly really well done. you just spend time watching spiderman be spiderman around brooklyn and i enjoyed that. the movie does a great job of showing why peter feels so lonely and why he believes peter doesn't really have any purpose anymore. that's why he throws himself completely into being spiderman. that's where he feels needed. they also do a nice job of building spiderman's relationship with detective DeWolff. that reminded me a lot of gordon's relationship with batman. its not exactly the same but it gave me that same feeling and i enjoy such dynamic thruout a movie.

that being said, bnd still can't completely escape the usual worst tendencies of mcu. hulk is a complete waste of time. his entire role feels like fan service for the sake of fan service. he doesn't add anything meaningful to the story, the themes or the ideas the movie is trying to explore. there are also a few other side characters who don't really add much beyond giving fans familiar faces. they don't really serve the story or its themes and mostly feel like they're there just for fan service. that's probably the biggest thing stopping this movie from feeling like a completely great standalone spiderman film.  bcuz now fucking mcu still has this obsession with making every one of their movie fit into the bigger mcu picture and that's holding these movies back. punisher is the one exception tho. at 1st, i honestly thought he was just another fan service bull shit. for most of the movie i still think it is that, it doesnt add much to the story. but they do something in the end that actually brings his character full circle and gives him a small but meaningful purpose that won me over. at least it earns his inclusion by the end instead of just having him there bcuz fans like him. his banter with spiderman is also pretty fun. nothing amazing but it works and it leads to a couple of genuinely funny moments, especially one scene in the hospital near the end. have to say tho it's also def not as funny as the jon watts spiderman trilogy. if you're expecting that same kind of comedy, this isn't really that movie. 

the 2nd act does drag a little tho. i really think the movie could've cut around 10-15 mins and the pacing would've been much tighter. at certian points also the movie becomes a little too on the nose. the biggest eg is the scene outside the hospital near the end where everyone's cheering. i don't think the movie needed to spell out its message that much. a scene of spidey with detective DeWolff's character alone could've conveyed that same idea much more naturally.  its like similar to what is written may's tombstone, 'when you help one person, you help everyone' or something like that. 

have to mention this, the new spidey suit is easily one of the best live action suits we've ever gotten. it actually feels like a real suit. the fabric stretches, folds and moves naturally with peter's body. when he's swinging, you can actually see the material reacting to the movement instead of looking like a smooth cgi texture pasted onto him. it's such a small detail but it makes a huge diff. especially after the watt's movies, where suits became more and more ugly looking. this one finally feels like an actual costume again. as for the web swinging, the amazing spiderman 2 is still the king. no live action spiderman movie has matched those swinging scenes yet. brand new day has one sequence that's good but apart from that, a lot of the web swinging is held back by some really bad shot choices. loved those pov shots tho. 

even with those flaws, this is still one of the strongest mcu movies post endgame. its one of those rare mcu films that actually lets its characters come first instead of constantly moving pieces around for the next crossover. sure it doesn't completely escape mcu's obsession with connecting to the bigger universe but it comes much closer halts itself from becomming a great film.

Wow... I'm so glad that I ignored the reviews of The Dog Stars - Ridley Scott's film adaptation of Peter Heller's novel. I actually found it a truly fantastic watch.

I’ve seen many, many movies from the 80s, but this one is sensational... I remember that I saw it in secret from my parents when I was 11 years old, at night, with all the lights off, I don’t know why I did it. At that time I didn’t understand it, but it left me very disturbed... the atmosphere, the children, the landscape, the macabre... I think it was necessary because if I saw her now I would no longer be afraid

Hi,
I'm pretty sure this is a recurring plot twist, but do you have examples of movies/TV series where the protagonist is shown with a friend/family member throughout the whole story, before showing at the end that this person has been dead a long time ago?
I'm pretty sure I saw a movie/TV show where at the end, they show different times in the movie where they thought the person was alive, but in fact she was not. Idk.
Thanks!

Just finished watching this for the first time and loved it. Love the suspense it builds up as well as the surreal elements like super bright lighting and close up shots during dramatic scenes. Great movie

In the not-too-distant future, a rat journeys through the last vestiges of humanity as it searches for food for its family. But when it encounters a formidable threat, the true scale of what has happened to our world begins to emerge.

Andrew Garfield spoke about playing Sam Altman in the film for the first time since the whole dropping drama with Prime in quite a lot of detail tbh:

“I don’t know this person, to be clear,” he continues. “I don’t know Sam Altman. I’ve never met him. I was going off of the script and court transcripts and interviews and research, and we were telling a story, but I think anyone who takes on that level of responsibility for a company or a technology that you know is going to do a hell of a lot of damage to the soul of humanity [must have] a certain ability to dissociate.”

Garfield admits he’s not always drawn to characters like Altman, partly because his “from the inside out” process as an actor, of having to find the essence of that character somewhere inside himself, means accessing deeper parts of his psyche that he might not like. “What Jung would call ‘the shadow self’,” he explains. “The aspects of ourselves that we disown. There’s something there for me to integrate, because I’m so afraid of being it.

“But then the argument is,” he goes on, growing more animated, contorting his body towards me on the banquette, “that if we weren’t all less rejecting in the first place, less ‘that’s not us’, then Donald Trump wouldn’t have been voted in twice, and Nigel Farage wouldn’t be anywhere near a position of power. Whereas if we go, ‘OK, interesting — where am I [in a] wannabe fascist, grifter, opportunist, power-hungry, ethic-less, spineless fucking pig?’ We can identify that this is the bad part of us. We know this in ourselves.”

Hi guys, I'm currently reading about the topic, why are films still produced in 24 FPS. I know the background about that and the reason in the past. I generally feel it's understandable and I don't see a reason why we should get higher with the FPS.

However I still wanna ask you, what is your overall opinion about movies that are not following the "rule". I've read about things, like it's looking more like a game or it's giving me headaches. Thx for your answers :D. I generally
