Reposted by Christopher JohnScott Mendelson @scottmendelson.bsky.social · 07/06/2026Netflix can do as it pleases concerning theatrical releases. But filmmakers and theatre chains (including IMAX) must stop pretending that their Netflix movie will be the one that gets treated differently or gets the streaming giant to see the light. Yes, the leopard will indeed eat your face too. 0186
Christopher John @christopherj0hn.bsky.social · 06/06/2026Directors who demand theatrical releases for their films do not need Netflix. theatrical distribution is getting better with more variety of distributors continuing to dominate the box office AND awards season, far more than the biggest studios and streamers. 000

Christopher John @christopherj0hn.bsky.social · 06/06/2026it was always kinda hilarious how a few years ago Scott Stuber said that he and Netflix were “actively courting” Christopher Nolan to make a film for them. i’m happier for the streamer to just accept they are the modern bigger-budget equivalent of “direct-to-video” with one or two awards hopefuls. 010
Christopher John @christopherj0hn.bsky.social · 06/06/2026Anthony Head as Giles in Buffy was one of the most formative characters for my late teens & early 20s. Head played the character with a natural charm, resolute strength, and gentle weight that I have never forgotten. A gifted performer of stage and screen. this one hurts a lot. rest in peace sir. 000
Christopher John @christopherj0hn.bsky.social · 04/06/2026I get that people do want a good laugh and seeing as horror is dominating the box office it makes sense #ScaryMovie is set to be the movie audiences see more this weekend. But #MastersoftheUniverse deserves your eyeballs more. funnier and more genuine in its silliness. 000

Christopher John @christopherj0hn.bsky.social · 25/05/2025It’s unfortunate that neither one is all that good I’d say FINAL RECKONING has action sequences that are worth the price of admission. But it isn’t even the best FINAL movie in theatres right now 😉 000

Christopher John @christopherj0hn.bsky.social · 27/01/2025Having now seen it and becoming a part of the conversation, I can honestly say that I don't think #EmiliaPerez deserves a single one of its nominations. Both nom'd actresses fare horribly with those lead weight songs & the cinematography & editing descend into murky garbage by the end. Awful film. 000
