Funnily enough, a Nic Cage film about the USS Indianapolis was on telly the other day... Jaws makes very important mention of this real-life incident in its treatment of Quint. Listen to find out why open.spotify.com/episode/5zsc...

Just watched this Bob Hoskins double bill and now I am nostalgic for British crime thrillers, especially those in which Michael Caine says, "She's only gone and blown my bloody toes off!"

Yesterday, somebody told me they had watched Into the Void and loved it. From their description, I thought they were talking about The Void, and a strange conversation ensued. They actually meant Enter the Void. Turns out we were on the same page with that one.

Psycho Jr Osgood Perkins has done enough to spark my interest in his new film, Keeper. Echoes of Charlie McDowell's The One I Love in this trailer...

People of Bluesky! Come see Piranha on the big screen this Friday, hosted by me! Jaws is 50, so we're showing the movie Steven Spielberg called "the best of all the Jaws rip-offs"! (It's actually nothing like Jaws. You'll see.)

Remembering when Robin of Locksley found out Will Scarlet was his brother on the occasion of 34 years and 9 days since the UK release of Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves

Tonight, I introduced a sold-out screening of The Jazz Loft According to W Eugene Smith, and led a Q&A with director Sara Fishko. It was inspiring!

Gunn draws on a memorable aspect of GotG2 (the Sovereign battle strategy) and repurposes it here – good because it makes sense that similar tech would exist; Jonathan and Martha brought pathos 4/4

Kim Taylor-Foster @kimbot.bsky.social · Jul 9

A bit of a more in-depth exploration because it's important to hype successes where there are some: Krypto is cute and fun if a bit limited; there's an effective bit in showcasing the overwhelm and disorientation shot from Lois's pov as she's swept up in the battle going on around her... 3/4

It was like the worst bits of Joss Whedon's Justice League. I like James Gunn; perhaps it was the pressure, or conversely a sense of entitlement... 2/4

Kim Taylor-Foster @kimbot.bsky.social · Jul 9

My thoughts on James Gunn's Superman: it prizes (convoluted) plot over characterisation and jokes (that don't land/feel outdated/self-conscious in an eye rolly way) over everything, so much so it felt like a spoof. Superman needs sincerity... 1/4

I can very easily and happily give consecutive hours of my time and attention to a feature film – long, short, or standard length – and multiple episodes of a series in one sitting but ask me to watch a trailer and I JUST CANNOT. EXPLAIN PLS. Actually, don't. I know why.
