Any film fans still hanging around on here, I am *begging* you not to get all your news from pop culture accounts. The amount of stuff I see that is inaccurate, over-simplified, taken out of context, and poorly sourced... These accounts care more about your click than being right

#Lanterns has been one hell of a ride so far. Really excited for the season finale in a few days.

Is he the most exciting pick? Not really. But as far as in-house directors go, he’s one of the better ones.

Checked to see why my buddy Tom King was trending, and holy jeez, some of you dudes need to get a life. And some manners. If a TV show doesn't appeal to you, go to something else.

EXCLUSIVE: There are no official plans for “Futurama” to return as a regular series after its Season 14 revival, but creator Matt Groening says “we’ve come to an end many times before” and still found new ways to return: “They can put us in a coffin. They can nail the lid shut, but they can’t bury us. We will rise again,” creator Matt Groening tells Variety. “We’ve been in this situation many times before. We have lots more stories to tell. The animators and the actors and the writers all would love to do more stories and we’ll see. You never know.” In the meantime, Hulu will release three “Futurama” specials (dubbed “XXXL-Sized”), kicking off in 2027 with a Christmas-related installment. wp.me/pc8uak-1lHOfW

I really don’t care too much about comic book accuracy. I care about the changes being thought-out, additive, and thematically meaningful as opposed to being just lip-service, reactionary, and for a moment. Change should reckoned with. Lanterns primarily succeeds in this.

Agree on that- His art was insanely loaded w energy but, a lot of discipline goes into achieving and sustaining that tone. Excess is a very narrow target and most cannot hit it. That is way there has only been one Ken Russell.
Ken was not batshit he was the sanest director I ever worked with.

Author discovers that, shockingly, most people in her position do not have control over the film adaptations of their books.
"Children of Blood and Bone" author Tomi Adeyemi vows "never" to turn her books into movies again after her experience on the "Blood and Bone" set, which she previously called “the worst thing I have ever had to live through. “With a film, the director makes every decision. With my book I can talk about every choice down to the commas, because that’s truly in my hands. So there’s nothing for me to add, other than the clarity that these aren’t my choices,” the author told The Guardian about opposing the film adaptation. variety.com/2026/film/news/t…

I know it’s not over yet, but #Lanterns is the best thing we’ve seen from the newest DC era so far. Every time you think the show is going down a predictable path, it takes a left turn and switches up the experience. Truly love watching every episode. More stuff like this please!

More than 30 years ago, Mark Kermode promised Ken Russell that he would find the footage that censors deleted in 1971 from THE DEVILS. On Saturday night, KEN RUSSELL’S THE DEVILS — the uncensored, restored director’s cut — premiered for the first time ever in the US.

The person who wields the Time Stone cannot see past the point of their own death, so that was probably the only scenario in which they won without Strange dying. Also, the Multiverse was closed off at that point in time (until the LOKI season 1 finale).
Can someone explain me why dr strange lied to tony about about there being only one way to beat thanos out of 14,000,605 possibilities?

The whole point is one side (Japan) is making the serious movies while the other side (US) is doing the cheesy ones. It goes back and forth. Japan once made Godzilla movies with black hole generators and cockroach aliens. It’s perfect for Godzilla fans because everyone’s happy.
The most annoying film bro you know is already gearing up for the “THATS HOW YOU DO IT MONSTERVERSE” posts smh.
