Oh god they’re doing a Weapons prequel and that is the 100% LAST thing anybody wanted or needed from a film that had 80% of its power purely from imagery and idea

Heard someone in Tesco on the other end of someone’s phone conversation say ‘Lauren’s a selfish bitch’ and the girl replied ‘Did you just say Lauren was selfish?’

Just saying I call this shot in 7th Heaven (1927) to be where Hitchcock got the idea for a similar stairs shot in Blackmail (1929) from

Btw if anyone wants to win an absolute crap ton of Oscars, just make a biopic about the first Oscars. It's historical, about movies, and because it's in the late 1920s you can add in some racial politics for extra Oscars bonus points. Can't lose.

The Conjuring movies are actually part of the Halloween franchise, as proven here by the Raggedy Ann doll in Laurie's bedroom. Conjuring 5 sees the Warrens battle Michael Myers in a new Cult of Thorn storyline entry. 10/10 would be the only reason to give the Warrens more exposure.

Interviewer: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, as a doctor and the creator of the supremely rational detective Sherlock Holmes, do you believe—
Doyle: Yes!

It’s time to watch Bigelow’s latest. You know, the one done by the first female Oscar-winning director that’s had absolutely ZERO publicity.
