I was a Cynthia rothrock fan, maybe I've missed the string of interviews or something that she's done but I think the reason she doesn't get more love is that she kind of just disappeared

I've seen movies use poor reception or dead phone battery as an excuse to let the plot happen.

I’m confused is this not a cult classic? I never watched the show but I loved this movie.

yeah i understand how you feel. there was ALWAYS something to look forward to years ago; something to talk about, theorize, and get excited for but now it feels like there’s not much to look forward to. that being said, the only films that i’m genuinely looking forward to is gotg 3, the batman trilogy, and barbie (2023). some of our franchises will sadly never feel the same and i wish i could watch all of them for the first time again, but hopefully we can find more films that bring back all of those emotions.

🤤

Blue Velvet is actually one of his more straightforward films. Having said that, it definitely requires multiple viewings to bring all the characters’ motivations into focus. Hell I’ve seen it probably 25 times (it’s my favorite film) and I still can’t tell you for sure if Detective Williams and The Yellow Man were both good cops, both crooked cops, or if one was good and one was crooked and if so which one was which. They can be read multiple ways, which is one of my favorite things about the film.

Did he smell weird

Traditional studios don't have the money anymore. It's obvious that these studios (Disney, Warner, Paramount, Universal and Lionsgate) are going to bet everything on popular franchises, whether in cinema or TV. Originality will drop sharply at these companies and we don't know how long boutique studios like A24 will be able to keep original films at low grosses. Seriously, I hate expanded universes, franchises, and all that bullshit.

If there's one piece of good news that came out this week, it's Apple deciding to invest in theatrical releases. They have infinite money and seem, at least for now, more concerned with building prestige than making money. Apple is going to be an A24 (with 2.5 trillion in market value) and should give some artistic freedom. At least until they already have the prestige they seek so much.

That is why sat phones are now widely available, iridium makes phones just for this, emergencies, to call in the cavalry.

Article in the times, they used an emergency satphone (and an iphone) that brought this to mind: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/30/world/asia/sailboat-whale-rescue-pacific.html

I don't think Arnie would get a good signal deep in the Guatemalan rainforest even today though.

Aren't there like 11 live-action Tomie movies?

and Woody Harrelson and Tim Robbins

Thundergun

Charlie’s Angels (2000) and Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle (2003)

The witches. Imo the original is better than the remake

There are two types of people in this world. Those who hate David Lynch and liars.

Watch non-franchise movies. Some pretty good ones out there, if you can believe it.

Memento (not about hotel operations specifically, but a motel is one of the primary settings)

and

No Country For Old Men has some interesting motel sequences as well.

not a film them.

she wasnt even heaveiy featured in the trailer though

I've never given them a thought. Pretty worthless rating system.

Don’t remember what scene but I remember something from the Mighty Joe Young trailer not being in the movie and was shocked as a kid. It was a funny scene.

Yall know Ronald Reagan wanted him as a body guard? That's pretty dope. And he turned down being in the matrix bc he didn't want his martial arts movements to be computer recorded and commodified. Seems like an awesome dude.

People with 700 IQ find a few critics they tend to agree with.
