@dominicknero.bsky.social on the Mirror of Galadriel —

“It has the vision of fantasy; it has direct, unfiltered communication of the text; and it has [Jackson's trademark] old fashioned, practical effects, stagecraft horror... all of that together represents, to me, the full effort of this film”

This week we’re chasing after Josh Safdie’s big, freaky, ping pong odyssey starring Timothée Chalamet.

Cult classic or cursed disaster?

Regardless of how you feel about it, one thing is undeniable — animated for 70mm, THE BLACK CAULDRON is one of the most visually stunning movies in Disney history
December 18, 2025 at 5:18 PM
Rob Reiner was a true legend of the craft who made not one but SEVERAL films that left a permanent mark on our culture.

His loss is a tragedy, but his art will live on forever.
December 15, 2025 at 5:29 PM
Justice for Gurgi!

This week it’s the final stop on our tour of pre-Jackson LOTR-inspired films – and our very first ever Disney animated film – THE BLACK CAULDRON!

The Black Cauldron (1985)
Dir. Ted Berman, Richard Rich

Disney's (misguided?) attempt at dark fantasy is both one of their worst financial disasters, and one of the most gorgeous animated films they ever made — and we got thoughts!
