Matt @cinematt.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Thinking about that bit in Blade Runner 2049 where a tiny horse made of real wood is so valuable that it could get Ryan Gosling new papers to go off world which seems less and less ridiculous every time I plan a new project. 000
Matt @cinematt.bsky.social · 24/09/2026But did anyone ever actually see the metaverse? Pretty sure it was made up to launder money, they just made it so shit everyone laughed at it and never tried to use it. “Oh yeah, we’ve spent billions on it. Let me introduce you to our lead engineers Bobson Dugnutt and Sleve McDichael.” 000

Matt @cinematt.bsky.social · 22/09/2026I think Hard Target would have been my first back in ‘93, I don’t think I got to see a Hong Kong Woo film until about ‘97, when I saw Hard Boiled because subbed VHS was not easy to find. Watched it in 4K recently, still a masterpiece, and probably my favourite. But Face/Off is an all-timer too. 000

Matt @cinematt.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Ordinarily I’d have pre ordered this in a second but a) Radiance are also releasing this and b) New Wave Video just ruined their release of Visitor Q by converting it to 24p and introducing a really annoying stutter to the motion. So I’m going to wait for Radiance to announce theirs. 000
Matt @cinematt.bsky.social · 14/08/2026I wonder how many people were startled into dropping their cigarettes when their phones started shrieking at them about not starting fires.

Matt @cinematt.bsky.social · 13/08/2026The Oshima set was genuinely the best thing I bought last year. I will admit to being slightly less excited by this because I do own Eureka’s old Imamura set, but the Radiance extras do take the sting off the overlap and who can complain about new 4K versions. 000

Matt @cinematt.bsky.social · 15/07/2026I do wish Nolan had the balls to release his movie in only one aspect ratio. He’s shot an entire movie on IMAX 1.43:1 knowing full well he has to protect the entire composition for 2:39:1, and it’s also playing in 1.85:1, 1.90:1, and 2.20:1. Either the whole frame matters or it doesn’t. 000

Matt @cinematt.bsky.social · 01/07/2026Apple have a weird system where you can download a HD version of your movie, but not 4K. And it will probably stay on their servers to stream when it is no longer sold but that’s not guaranteed. And the extras might disappear. And that’s basically the best digital store. It’s a mess. 100
Matt @cinematt.bsky.social · 01/07/2026Really impressive that they decided to drop this the same week they announced they were removing 500 titles from their movie store and the people that purchased them will no longer be able to watch them and get no refunds. 010

![Q: A couple years ago at IDFA, I saw this movie "About a Hero," which is this partly Al-generated hybrid documentary that tries to recreate the atmosphere of your films.
A: The intention of this young filmmaker was never to remake any [of my films], but making something in the spirit. And I immediately said, "You will fail. It is such a stupid idea. It's phenomenally, abysmally stupid. I will not take part in it." He wanted me to explain things and have my voice in it.
I said, "You are alone. There's such a thing as free speech, which I respect. So go ahead and fail." And it is a failure, period.
It's so standardized that Al can step in because there's not real storytelling. It's mimicry of something that has happened before. And I welcome Al to replace all the idiots who are into nothing but repeating, repeating, repeating until it's ad nauseam.
When it's ad nauseam, please, please, please let Al step in and do the job.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:v5vphilwcf6nunioeyrpxw6g/bafkreibeadpx66jtqlttglhgbgkew6g65haxqngz5yt6p3ybwyi5zney54)
