The one reason I may eventually watch Tron Ares, rather than just listen to the soundtrack.

Sam Inglis @24fpsuk.bsky.social · 42m

Two more movies (which would make seven in total), and Linnea Quigley will be my most watched actress of 2025. Yeah, why not?

A ★★½ review of Creepozoids (1987)

Exploitation producers are nothing if not resourceful. This could have come out of co-writer/co-producer/director David DeCoteau taking inventory. Okay... I've got six actors; a warehouse; a monster c...

My biggest take away from John Candy: I Like Me other than 'aww, what a nice man, I miss him in movies' is that someone has to make a documentary about Macaulay Culkin. The story he tells about Candy looking out for him tells us about him, his father and Candy all at once.

I've long thought about making a table out of some of my old VHS tapes.

Hitsujibungaku youtube live now. I THINK we're getting a full gig as part of this stream.

Heard a couple of tracks from the new Austra album which is due in November. For me, they only really hammered home that they'll never get near this track again.

Today in 'absolutely the fuck not' (The project, not the casting... maybe also the casting... either way, Tangled is easily my favourite Disney classic of this era, it doesn't need flattening into live action and two shitty new songs added to it)

DiscussingFilm @discussingfilm.net · 1d

Scarlett Johansson is eyeing to play Mother Gothel in Disney’s live-action ‘TANGLED’ remake.

The film has been put back into development.

Just as an example of Scott Hutchison's writing.

My favourite lyricist is Scott Hutchison of Frightened Rabbit, but sadly we lost him a few years ago. Nick Cave probably has a claim to being one of the best still with us. I also love Chris Eckman's writing for The Walkabouts.

There were seven years between PS3 and 4, and then another 7 between PS4 and 5, which is already 5 years old, surely it would be silly not to imagine the PS6 is in active development. I'm just hoping Persona 6 is done in time not to be a PS6 exclusive.

IGN @ign.com · 1d

Sony tech wizard Mark Cerny has teased new graphics features he's excited to bring to "a future console in a few years time," sparking a wave of PS6 release date speculation in the process. https://bit.ly/3KFH3CQ

Aside from the single Saltburn, I think this is my favourite track from the new Yonlapa EP (though Misguided Ghost runs it close)

I LOVE Joe Dante, but The Howling (which I finally saw today after checking out MANY times in the past) just isn't the Joe Dante I love.

A ★½ review of The Howling (1981)

I'm a big Joe Dante fan, but I've tried over and over again and never, before today, got through this flm. Of course it's well made on a technical level - Dante is a great director and Rob Bottin's cr...

I've not read the novel, but I do mention the things I gleaned that are drawn from it, and not in the US or Japanese films.

Sam Inglis @24fpsuk.bsky.social · 2d

The Korean take on Ring is an interesting footnote, but not a patch on Nakata's film.

A ★★ review of The Ring Virus (1999)

This is almost a case study in how small changes can have big effects on a film's quality. There are a couple of details included here, which are apparently from the original novel, and aren't in eith...

I've not seen it yet, but it would be very funny if the Korean Ring remake, The Ring Virus, topped this list.

BTW, this isn't a luddite's complaint. It's not the same as someone, notionally, saying they won't see a movie that uses CGI, or in colour. Those things involve, indeed require, artists input at every stage. Thinking of a prompt and letting a plagiarism engine do the work is NOT the same.

Sam Inglis @24fpsuk.bsky.social · 2d

For the record. This consumer absolutely cares if what he's looking at is AI. If I see a film I'm interested in seeing is using GENERATIVE AI, I'm not interested anymore. Also, for the record, I think disclosure in the credits should be mandatory.

britt hayes @britthates.bsky.social · 2d

Jason Blum's take on AI sucks. an AI takeover isn't inevitable, and treating it as such (while also referring to filmmaking as "content creation," smdh) helps AI companies promote the lie that their deeply unprofitable, destructive tech is more powerful and useful than it actually is.

It's a rare thing: a genuine cultural phenomenon. I'd argue they should get the singers behind Saja Boys on board as well, write a few more songs, and do a co-headline tour.

The one algorithm I don't mind so much is Youtube. It's led me down so many great rabbit holes. I'd never have found Yonlapa by searching 'Thai 90s style indie band', because who knew that was a thing, or a thing I wanted? They're great, and this is a terrific EP. Spend 20 minutes on it.

Sam Inglis @24fpsuk.bsky.social · 2d

I'm looking forward to live versions of How It's Done and What It Sounds Like. An the inevitable Oscars triumph.

Forgot to post this earlier: the first live performance of Golden, by the singing voices of Huntrix in KPop Demon Hunters. It's been delayed because Ejae has had bronchitis recently. Either way, they all sound great here.
