looks absolutely incandescent on the big screen. an experience that can't be overhyped.
“A film unlike anything that has come before or after it. You won’t be the same afterward.” @dreadcentral
Nine more days until KEN RUSSELL’S THE DEVILS is unleashed into theaters for one week only: thedevils.movie

I think two character decisions always impress me about Mad Men: making this guy kind of wise and not a total asshole, along with making Pete a sincere anti-racist. Other shows will just let the archetypes do the typing for them.

when you've seen films like this it really makes you wanna find whoever normalised the idea that any films that are old/foreign are inherently pretentious and beat them to death with your bare hands

At 28 years old, Derek Jarman designed the sets for KEN RUSSELL'S THE DEVILS – the first film he ever worked on.
Tickets on sale now for the restored director's cut: thedevils.movie
all bangers lately, turns out the trick to cinematic satisfaction is to watch shit that comes out between 1971 and 1988

ECLIPSE SERIES 50: SARA GÓMEZ'S REVOLUTIONARY CUBA • Coming to Criterion in December! criterion.com/boxsets/9119-e…
A true cinematic revolutionary who used the camera as her tool in the fight against oppression in all forms, the Afro-Cuban filmmaker brought the stories of ordinary Cubans to the screen with a bracing immediacy and insight.

*taps the sign* Please watch this @imPatrickT video. He explains it so well that I really have nothing to add.

Carpenter's bitterness is 100% deserved. He's a master at doing so much with so little & everyone wrote his work off as schlock til fairly recently. He peaced out & said " You get nothing from me again. Royalty checks for video games & synth music with my son til I die." Love him

There are various issues to disagree with here, but the basic point remains that Wilson is a very poor film reviewer being asked, again and again, to review a film that she has not understood particularly well.
In Christopher Nolan’s “Odyssey,” viewers see inside the Trojan horse, but they “do not see inside the characters or their world,” Emily Wilson argues. theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0…
