It’s a great performance!

ROCK & RULE quite literally rocks and rules. Says so right on the title. Beloved Nelvana classic.

remember when that cronenberg movie 'existenz' came out and it seemed like a fun and silly conceit for there to be freedom fighters taking on corporate conglomerates in an attempt to protect consensus reality from an ocean of digital hallucination

@chriswade.bsky.social was nice enough to guest on my podcast to talk about this furry-as-hell movie!

I’m in a movie theater in Virginia and this shit was built in the 90s and untouched for years, this rocks

I'm too bored of this to try and be clever about it anymore.

If you think that two men kissing, or two women kissing, requires any more explanation than a man kissing a woman, that is homophobia.

目 TheCybersmith @thecybersmith.bsk... • 2h • Joined May '23 Huh. The film's treatment of Lincoln is surprisingly sympathetic. I think I can see what Griffith was going for, but some of the choices he made really detract from the more nuanced ideas he wanted to put across (why do the black characters speak like that?) 031 04 TheCybersmith @thecybersmith.bsky.social • Joined May '23 THAT'S NOT A TRIAL!

I was working in digital animation at the time. A guy in the business derided it as an overblown tech demo, saying "What this movie's really about is her hair."

He wasn't wrong.

(I still have a DVD of it somewhere.)

Vertigo (Hitchcock, 1958)

I say let Kevin Spacey go back to acting, but he’s only allowed to play Hitler

❤️‍🔥 Maria Callas and Pier Paolo Pasolini in Greece, 1969 ❤️‍🔥 On the iconoclastic Italian polymath's birthday, you can watch Callas in his hypnotic adaptation of Euripides’s immortal tragedy MEDEA (1969) on the Criterion Channel alongside 10 of his other masterworks.

I’d sell this movie about a musical duo from the 2010’s as “What if Icona Pop killed people?”
