I'll have a Bloody Mary and a Riley Stearns movie and... a Riley Stearns movie. #LastFourWatched
I'll have a Bloody Mary and a Riley Stearns movie and... a Riley Stearns movie. #LastFourWatched
I really like Stearns' other movies too, The Art of Self-Defense and Dual. Recommend if you haven't seen. They veer more towards absurdity and quirkiness than Faults, but are still recognizably from the same guy.
Also this short (made before Faults) is kinda fun: youtu.be/Xf1L-bxtTgc
Let me know what you think!
#NowRewatching Riley Stearns' debut feature Faults (2014), a criminally underseen movie.
The Nekala Cultural Center in Tampere is having its grand opening, and one of the installations includes three experimental short films by local filmmakers.
So #NowWatching Taija Goldblatt's Ocean's Skeleton, Leena Lehti's Existence III, and Sanni Priha's Farewell to Snow - Snowplay.
#NowWatching Otto Preminger's Laura (1944).
In honor of International Womenβs Day, who are the women of your Letterboxd top four? #filmsky
I was wrong, it was a little more than the one shot. These guys break it down a little: youtu.be/2ZKPnuUFwOk
I think it's basically that one scene they were missing, and that one shot in front of the bars used existing footage but was heavily CGI-augmented.

Thank you to @patrickbromley.bsky.social, the whole @fthismovie.bsky.social gang and all the F-heads around the world for another awesome #FThisMovieFest! It's 7:15 am, time for bed.
Yes, Oliver Reed passed away in the middle of filming. They cobbled together what they needed from existing footage, a body double, and a couple of CGI-enhanced shots. #FThisMovieFest
The secret seventh movie is the team-up where Bosley Fury gathers the team to fight Creepy Thin Man, the resurrected Calitri and a pack of bioraptors, right? #FThisMovieFest
The CGI Oliver Reed is a little uncanny valley, but still an amazing feat to get it looking that good with 2000 technology. #FThisMovieFest
#FThisMovieFest has seen 83 movies in 15 years.
Nic Cage and Rance Howard have the most appearances with 6 each.

#ProofofDawn from slightly to the north. #FThisMovieFest
Shout out to the Danish Sven-Ole Thorsen, who got a small role in Conan the Barbarian because he was a bodybuilding friend of Arnold's and spun that off into a multi-decade career as an actor and stuntman. And he seems like a cool dude. #FThisMovieFest
It's an affliction shared by many. There ought to be support groups. #FThisMovieFest
Commodus is such an idiot that if there was an eclipse, he'd point up and then look straight at it. #FThisMovieFest
This is Oliver Reed's second greatest role, behind only his dual role in Dr. Heckyl & Mr. Hype. #FThisMovieFest
Joaquin Phoenix's 2000: Gladiator, The Yards, and Quills. #FThisMovieFest
But that's the only thing this movie gets wrong, everything else is historically accurate, right? #FThisMovieFest
They don't even have cheerleaders in the arena to get the audience going? #FThisMovieFest
A little paint, some fibreglass... Good as new. #FThisMovieFest
I'll be honest, I'm running a little out of steam right now. But at least this movie's short, right? #FThisMovieFest
Hans Zimmer is good, sure, but this movie could really use an Apollo 440 theme tune. #FThisMovieFest
He's running his spirit fingers through a field of wheat. #FThisMovieFest
Gladiator was released on May 5th 2000, Lance Henriksen's 60th birthday. #TheMoreYouKnow #FThisMovieFest
How the hell am I supposed to know which option is currently highlighted? #FThisMovieFest
