Video Editor/Filmmaker with rejection sensitive dysphoria foolishly trying to be noticed on a social media site. Is this a recipe for disaster? You betcha! Sometimes posts animation clips from film I’m working on.

I am still making this very long animated film.
One frame at a time.

if there's no wise hot older Oded Fehr telling the O'Connell's what happened thousands of years ago to make the Mummy so pissed then what's the point of all this?

I figure this has to be for an animated sequel to PREDATOR: KILLER OF KILLERS cause a live action return to Dutch has long past.
Guy's in great shape but he is almost 80.

I've just always like each Predator being a standalone. Lore does nothing for me.

paul @plh85.bsky.social · 56m

Maybe I'm built different but I've never wanted Arnold Schwarzenegger to return to PREDATOR.
Great one off story.

(Arnie's right that Predator is much better fit for a franchise than Terminator. Terminator IS James Cameron. Like the other movies or not none are even half as good as the first two.)

Honestly insane Deadline opens an article about PREDATOR: BADLANDS saying it has a “subtle ALIEN crossover” when the marketing has pushed the Weyland-Yutani logo front and center.

The Clintons fucking suck, man.
Always have.
Always will.
Throw them into the abyss.

What Hillary is saying here is a conspiracy theory and not even a tame, silly one, but a whopper. A more balefully consequential and widespread one than e.g. Trump complaining that the media lied about his crowds being big.

Hillary Clinton on the generational shift on Israel inside the Democrats.
"We have done a miserable job teaching young people history.
"And, you know, those of us who have lived through it, I went to Israel for the first time in 1980, so a long time ago, and I've been back many times. And obviously, you know, with my husband, deeply involved in all kinds of activities to support Israel and to try to be as helpful as possible. But it was astonishing to me because I had so many conversations, and frankly, they often started as confrontations with students, not just at Columbia, but elsewhere.
"Where were they getting their information?
They were getting it from social media. They were getting it most particularly from TikTok, which is governed by an algorithm until at least up till now, still largely manipulated by the Chinese Communist Party.

The failure of the “blue no matter who” crowd to rally behind Mamdani really just lays the reality of that position bare, doesn’t it?

Just obvious lying and misdirection 24/7.
Like how the government shutdown and everything that comes from it is not happening because of the party that is in charge of all three branches of the government but because of the 'radical democracts".

Children are running the country.

Everyone is talking about Del Toro's new take on FRANKENSTEIN - it's very good - but SPLICE is the true masterpiece made for real sick monsterfuckers like myself!

Cinematic Second Chances @cinemaseconds.bsky.social · 5h

Splice (2009) Dir. Vincenzo Natali – A cautionary tale disguised as a creature feature, this unsettling film explores scientific hubris and the horrors of playing god. Adrien Brody and Sarah Polley sell the madness as their creation turns on them. It’s not nice to fool with "monster" nature.🎞️📽️

I thought my last post was pretty good but my inability to reach anyone who doesn't already follow me seems to be my social media curse.

Problem with the bad biopic template - most true for the ones based on musicians - is they adaptat their Wikipedia page.
A great biopic - like THE IRISHMAN - finds a smart in like "The 'Greatest Generation' never dealt with their WW2 PTSD and what little they had left away to be middlemen"

paul @plh85.bsky.social · 7h

Biopics aren't bad.
BAD biopics that follow a bad template are bad.

For example: Most of Martin Scorsese's best movies are biopics. We don't think of them as such because he uses the person to study a trait or flaw in them to talk about a greater human story.

Keith Phipps @kphipps3000.bsky.social · 8d

Hey! You can read at @slate.com making an argument for reclaiming the term "biopic."

One Movie Genre Has Become So Maligned That Even Its Makers Are Disavowing It. They’re Wrong.

Yes, many biopics are clichéd and laughable. But they can also be fantastic.

"Bury him face down." This barn burner of an obit might feel hyperbolic to people who entered the world in the wake of 9/11; it's not. Cheney was one of the architects of today's American Christian conservatism. He was directly responsible for millions of deaths. Salt the earth where he's buried.

At its heart, American conservatism is a fantasy. It’s a vision of a world too evil to be saved or cared about, and fearsome enough to justify any and every impulse toward cruelty and violence that a…

Normally I vote early but felt so unmotivated this year after what happened in 2024.
But i just “did the thing“ and hopefully things will go well this e evening and things will start to turn around.

I mean Bijaz would offer the silly voice but I’m sure he could find something kooky to do for Scytale.

A year or so from now if GKids can just release THIS as the top-dollar 4K Boxset of REBUILD OF EVANGELION for the US market I will be forever happy.

I NEED this box on my shelf!

(But you know, with English subtitles and not with a $500 price tag + whatever the stupid import tariff cost would be)

this is very cool: Kodak quietly relisted Kodak Gold and Ultramax on its website and confirmed to me it is selling the films directly to photography stores again. this is a big deal because for the last decade, Kodak has not controlled distribution of its own film
