Surreal to finally have this: one of my all time favourite films in 4K on its 100th anniversary, with a 52 minute video essay by me included in the extras. Out soon!
A Brave Engineer charts the entirety of Buster Keaton's career through his use of trains, I'm very proud of it.

DEATH PROOF is better than anything he made after BASTERDS.
Jun 12
Quentin Tarantino says Death Proof (2007) is “the worst movie I ever made.”
"And for a left-handed movie, that wasn't so bad, all right? So if that's the worst I ever get, I'm good.”
“But I do think one of those out-of-touch, old, limp, flaccid-d*ck movies costs you three good movies as far as your rating is concerned."
He got the idea for “Death Proof” during a drunken night with Sean Penn.
He wanted to buy a Volvo because he “didn’t want to die in some auto accident”.
Penn said that for $15,000, a stunt team could “death-proof” any car.

The people who think of themselves as the biggest winners in life are often the biggest losers. Best case in point right here.

Actually, VII was heavily marketed around Rey, Finn and Kylo, with Han and Chewie being the big "legacy characters" returning. Luke and to an extent Leia were more teased than highlighted and I don't think the term "Skywalker Saga" came about until the promo for IX.

I believe this is the major reason why the sequel trilogy was so problematic: they sold us a Skywalker saga trilogy, which is very much Luke’s story, and that’s not what was delivered.
VII and VIII are excellent Star Wars movies, but the bate&switch felt like a betrayal.

Skyrizi sounds like what Snoop Dogg would call Rise of Skywalker.

It's only been about a year and a half, but looking back on the scant few clips I filmed I actually forgot how fucking close I was to the stage on what was one of the best nights of my entire life.

One time I will agree with Mark, they should've filmed a trio scene during the VII shoot for a later movie, and maybe, y'know, had a better overall plan.
Jun 10
Mark Hamill says he pushed for Luke, Leia, and Han to share one final scene together in the STAR WARS sequel trilogy.
“I said, ‘It’ll only take 30 seconds.’”
According to Hamill, J. J. Abrams replied: “Well, Mark, it’s not Luke’s story anymore.”

Mark suggested it and Rian agreed, there was no fight over it.
Also, go back and show me any meaningful connection between Luke and 3PO in the original trilogy, he was paired with R2 mostly (which is reverently handled in TLJ: "Old friend...")
Jun 10
According to Hamill, he also had to fight to have Luke acknowledge C3-P0 in The Last Jedi. That was the only good part of that entire film.

This is feeling a lot like a giant 200 million dollar vanity project for Dwayne. Outside of the very little live action elements this just looks like Moana so.. what's the point?

What a privilege to see this new iteration of Rush. Geddy looked so happy on stage-- in fact, they all did. In times like these, we can all use some moments of joy, and Rush has brought people together from all over the world. SO glad they are back!

At this point, if Punk is done with WWE, great. He got everything he wanted and to leave on one of the best matches in modern history is one hell of a mic drop...

Disney purchased George's story treatments for his sequel trilogy but decided not to use them. I think that was a mistake.
They should’ve built off of what George’s vision was, to have that cohesion with 1 - 6. That "Story by George Lucas" credit on the films would've helped.

Just tearing up at 5am at all these Rush videos getting uploaded in fucking REAL TIME during the show tonight. Truly such a joy to see the boys (and girl!) playing this music again.
