Amy Woolsey @amywoolsey.bsky.social · 11/10/2026The main reason it works, of course, is Haris Zambarloukos's opulent deep-focus cinematography, which turns every room into both a church and a tomb. 030
Amy Woolsey @amywoolsey.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Realized after rewatching A Haunting in Venice for spooky season that one of the reasons it works is because Branagh plays Poirot as someone who'd prefer not to talk. Neither he nor the movie is interested in being clever. 110
Amy Woolsey @amywoolsey.bsky.social · 11/10/2026As I wrote in my journal, it's hard to imagine the movie being more annoying than the marketing or the discourse. It would be ideal for everyone, I think, if it drops out of the awards race. 010

This has been incredibly obvious and incredibly disheartening to anybody who watches even *close* to as much TV as I do. 2. I sense the regression for directing might be ever worse. 3. That fact that, without a TCA press tour, TV executives have basically NO visible accountability is... bad. 39437

Amy Woolsey @amywoolsey.bsky.social · 05/10/2026The Social Network: A story of men who hack into computers because they can't hack into women. Even more disturbing as a time capsule of 2000s youth culture than I remembered and still Reznor and Ross's best score. 001

Reposted by Amy WoolseyAngela Woolsey @redporchremnant.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I liked The Uprising because it's the closest I've seen any movie get, certainly out of the recent/Trump-era portrayals of class warfare, to the emotional tenor of the revolution scenes in A Tale of Two Cities.

Amy Woolsey @amywoolsey.bsky.social · 17/09/2026That's probably the right choice; I think Resident Evil (in 35mm??) replaced Hope in auditorium 1 anyway. Maybe 10 people were at my screening on Tuesday. 010

Amy Woolsey @amywoolsey.bsky.social · 17/09/2026That episode of Slow Horses should've prepared me for the emotional whiplash of watching Slow Horses and then logging on to find out Annie Dillard has died, but it did not. 💔 000
Amy Woolsey @amywoolsey.bsky.social · 16/09/2026The image seemed unusually curved, but I wasn't sure whether the screen itself was different or it was just anamorphic cinematography. If you're in the mood and have time for a rewatch, I'd recommend checking it out, though it looks like Resident Evil is taking over after today. 100

Amy Woolsey @amywoolsey.bsky.social · 15/09/2026I like that the separate ceremony gives them time to award more people, including people who aren't necessarily well-known outside the industry, but it should still be televised. 030

Amy Woolsey @amywoolsey.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Among other similarities, both movies demonstrate the importance of having physical environments and actual human background actors. This idea that extras can be replaced by A.I. isn't going to fly. 000
