Here’s the deal, folks: I don’t care whether you’re he/him, she/her, they/them, or what have you. I don’t care whether you’re black or white, yellow or tan, pink or brown. I don’t care what God(s) you believe or, or not. Or who you love, or what language you speak, or where

One of the great and most subtle moments in this franchise to date. No dialogue, huge impact. Character is everything—even the minor ones. A screenwriting masterclass. #Andor #StarWars

I don’t know what it is that early reviewers expected from INDIANA JONES AND THE DIAL OF DESTINY and didn’t get, but I saw it this morning in Dolby Cinema and really liked it. It’s not as good as the first film obviously, but it’s right on par with Last Crusade for me, and WAY

The Ride of the Rohirrim in 4K with HDR and Atmos is the single greatest thing I have ever experienced in my home theater. And I do NOT say that lightly. I may just have leapt out of my seat. ;)

You see a film like DUNE: PART TWO and you think: That’s either the last great film of a dying Hollywood, or proof that there’s still a bit of life left in this industry. Either way, it’s a wonder. And absolutely perfect. Don’t look now, but Denis Villeneuve has just casually

Censoring older movies and books is just straight-up wrong. These works are a product of their time, and accurately understanding history—and the progress we've made over time—requires that we see these things exactly as they were, in the context of their time. PC whitewashing

Gotta admit, this made me smile: JJ Abrams, Steven Spielberg & Guillermo del Toro buying model kits at House of Hobbies in Burbank (per last night’s @jimmykimmel). Apparently, they get together on the weekends to build them. They should do a YouTube live stream! #SundayModelClub

As someone who likes to shoot straight, I’m not going to lie: I find it irritating and disappointing listening to the smug, cynical, even gleeful tone of too many film critics—both professional and fanatic—who are currently holding forth online about the failures of Francis Ford

The Hollywood Reporter should have the good sense to be embarrassed posting this kind of drivel. [Link removed. I refuse to give them the click-bait traffic they were obviously hoping for.]
