28 Years Later is to the franchise what Fury Road was to Mad Max 10 years ago: just a lovable old man coming back with years of experience under his belt to make the most batshit crazy blockbuster. The need to rewatch this movie has infected my brain.

If you haven't read Dune: Messiah, you might be wondering why Princess Irulan/Florence Pugh looks like this. I've read it so I'll briefly explain: I have no fucking idea what's going on here.
Edgar Ortega retweeted
Denis Villeneuve confirmed on the DUNE livestream that MESSIAH is a mix of 15/70 IMAX film, 65mm, and digital. Probably Alexa 65. He said he likes "digital IMAX"
This is why it's FILMED FOR IMAX, and not FILMED WITH IMAX.
I'm excited to see them all mix together.

Film Twitter is genuinely full of the most miserable 19 - 23 year olds who think taking a film class illuminates and ascends them beyond mere mortal thought when really all they do is LARP as old Hollywood execs and get really mad during award seasons

Usually when the media is like “so-and-so BROKE HER SILENCE!” it’s a nothingburger, but ooooooweeee she sure went and broke her silence
Sarah Michelle Gellar breaks her silence on the “Buffy” reboot cancellation, blaming it on one executive who’s “not a fan of the original.”
"No one saw this coming, including the head of Searchlight. I got the call as we were stepping onto stage for the premiere of their own movie. And it’s also the weekend of Chloé [Zhao] going to the Oscars as a best director nominee for Hamnet. For them to call us on the Friday of what should have been Chloé’s victory lap for an incredible film, and my world premiere of something that I worked very hard for is… That says something."
"We had an executive on our show who was not only not a fan of the original, but was proud to constantly remind us that he had never seen the entirety of the series and how it wasn’t for him,” she said. “That’s very hard when you’re taking a property that is as beloved as Buffy, not just to the world, but to me and Chloé. So that tells you the uphill battle that we had been fighting since day one, when your executive is literally proud to tell you that he didn’t watch it."

He did say that, and then he answered the question he was asked
Oscar-winning director Paul Thomas Anderson playfully scoffs after a reporter asks him how #OneBattleAfterAnother reflects where society is headed:
“I thought we were supposed to be partying?”

The way you guys interpret films with uncomfortable topics on here is interesting to say the least

I understand why he’s so shaky.
I think he, like a lot of white people, didn’t anticipate how strong the response to Perfidia would be. which both backs up the fact that he meant well and also reveals the limitations in his thinking.
After taking home the #Oscars for Best Picture, Director and Adapted Screenplay for #OneBattleAfterAnother, Paul Thomas Anderson addressed criticism about the film’s portrayal of Black women that has surrounded the movie since its fall release. bit.ly/4uDpTbB

It’s a disservice to Michael B. Jordan and all the Best Actor nominees to continue peddling the lie that Chalamet lost because of his comments on opera and ballet. Voting had closed. Jordan deservedly won because his performance and presence garnered more enthusiasm from voters.

There was a ballet dancer in Sinners. Did we not all watch the same movie? Imagine reducing this beautiful performance to “This was a dig at Timothee.” You lot sound insane.

You just can’t convince me having Kate Hudson do a bit with Grogu is more important than giving the winners time to thank people in their speeches. Isn’t this whole thing about celebrating the arts?
Edgar Ortega retweeted
Hey Oscars producers, if you have time for a lengthy Bridesmaids bit and dumb filler presenter intros, you have time to let the winners give their thanks. It’s the best part of the show. Cutting off the mic after one person speaks (esp that Golden speech) is so, so cold. #oscars
Edgar Ortega retweeted
when you think about it this is the most marty supreme thing that could’ve happened
‘MARTY SUPREME’ didn’t win any Oscars out of its 9 nominations.

i think we need to take a moment to appreciate that Diane Warren's awful nominated song this year is from a documentary ABOUT how Diane Warren loses the Oscar for her awful nominated songs every year.
Edgar Ortega retweeted
That was probably one of the better Oscars of recent memory, but they really need to sort out the speech situation. Too many times smaller artists were cut off from their moment in the spotlight. It was a real bummer. We’re here to celebrate these people.
Edgar Ortega retweeted
Framing this as being a jab at him and not an acknowledgment of her contributions to the history of Black art Sinners is meant to celebrate doesn’t sit right with me at all actually.
Misty Copeland comes out of retirement to put Timothée Chalamet in his place during a live ‘Sinners’ performance at the #Oscars.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
the sinners scene that this performance was recreating has a ballet dancer in it. Copeland's performance was also already scheduled.
