Let's All Go to the Movies


Neill Blomkamp apparently made a movie during the pandemic and, uh, that's pretty much the end of the details, lol.

Always interested in some Blomkamp though.



Some names coming forward now. WB might have a revolt on their hands.


Gunn has gotta be pissed because I'm sure he had some backend and he's banking on spinoffs from the movie (they already announced a spin-off with John Cena's character, iirc)
 
Watch Mank last night. Really, really liked it. I haven't seen Citizen Kane in years, but I love it, too. I loved Mank's super dense, almost screwball-comedy, script. I loved the way it was shot, taking advantage of how lighting is so different in B&W than it is with color. I loved the acting from everyone.

That said, it was probably the least compulsively-watchable Fincher movie since Benjamin Button (which is a far, far inferior film). I don't see myself rewatching Mank a million times like I do Se7en or Zodiac, but it was excellent and I don't really have much at all negative to say about it.
 
Just watched Top Secret! which is a completely silly film. Val Kilmer sings and dances, there are classic cold war era villains, and absurd comedy.

Went to the private screening of Die Hard at the theatre tonight. It was fun to go out and see a movie on the big screen. I miss the theatre experience. It was so quiet and so dead there, though, it was sad. We were the only people there when we arrived, our movie time was 5:40. There were some cars in the lot when we left but still super dead.

They played a commercial before the movie of all the measures they're taking to keep the place clean, but the end shot was people inside the theatre eating popcorn and drinking soda with no masks on. Even though they were far apart it was still a fuck no response from me. I hope the theatres survive this. I want to see Dune on the big screen.

the NYTimes has a profile on Val Kilmer and i can't get over his photo.
