Stumbled upon a post where someone said the Avatar films don’t leave a cultural impact because there isn’t one meme-able moment in any of them.
Sometimes I wonder if we even deserve the movies.

I wonder if James Cameron would ever consider releasing the Avatar films with all the footage prior to the digital makeover. Not that it would be a good cinematic experience, but it would be interesting to see how what was shot translated to what ends up on the big screen #Filmsky

Shih-Ching Tsou’s solo directorial debut, LEFT-HANDED GIRL (2025) is an entertaining and emotionally resonant film. It’s a story of family, resilience, and tradition within the hustle and bustle of Taipei. My Review.

SANGRE DEL TORO (2025): Guillermo del Toro has such a unique way of seeing the world, religion, art, etc. He finds beauty in the grotesque and the grotesque in the beautiful. Sure, the doc likely came to supplement the release of FRANKENSTEIN, but it’s still an enjoyable watch. Recommended #Filmsky

TRAIN DREAMS (2025) is one of the best films of the year. It is not just the story of a single character's life, but a story of America going through rapid change. My review.

WICKED: FOR GOOD (2025): The magic of the first film is nowhere to be seen here. If anything, this shows that the entire musical adaptation was probably better suited as a single film. My review.

Weird fact of the day: the longest anyone was able to recite "Pi" was just over 70,000 digits after the decimal.
I can't even fathom how someone's mind can memorize all those numbers.

The loss is whatever, but Zabel going down is a huge blow that could alter how the rest of the season plays out

NOUVELLE VAGUE (2025) is an exuberant look at The French New Wave, Jean-Luc Godard, and the making of one of the greatest films ever, BREATHLESS (1960). I loved it. My review.
