Man, this sucks. RIP Diane Keaton, I'm watching Looking for Mr. Goodbar because the world sucks, but you were incredible in this film. #FilmSky

Ha, but remarkably there was also a time when you'd get jumped on for being negative towards him!

1. Deep Red
2. Don't Torture a Duckling
3. What Have You Done to Solange?
4. Torso
5. Bay of Blood

Chinese Magnificent 7/Rambo-sploitation, Indonesian black-magic-chiller-turned-slasher, American Oscar-bait and a glorified feature-length music video are my #LastFourWatched! #FilmSky #LetterboxdFriday 🍿

Yo, America... do you not care for ANYTHING in your country anymore? (And this comes from a British person!) This place is a piece of your film history, why are you helping to PAY a huge corporation like Walmart to erase it?

I still remember the first time I saw this as a kid, locked up in a cabin in the woods here in Wales... It was almost too perfect. #FilmSky #Horror

Why isn't Bloomberg reporting that nearly EVERY AI related company is currently burning through BILLIONS of dollars? (OpenAI is on course to lose $8B this year!) The story here should be, "When will the AI bubble finally burst?"

Tilly Norwood raises the question of who will be the first to win an Oscar for best AI in a leading role

Tilly Norwood Is Expensive, Even for Hollywood

The “synthetic actress” may be cheaper to cast than Leonardo DiCaprio, but AI’s footprint carries major economic and environmental costs.

For me, Babylon and The Iron Claw remain undefeated.

Dave Levitan @davelevitan.bsky.social · 10d

One Battle After Another has been getting a lot of “best movie of the decade” talk, and I’m inclined to agree but I’m curious — what’s the competition?
