Seriously, personal space is SO valuable. In this episode we cringe our way through a bromance gone wrong in FRIENDSHIP (2024, D. Andrew DeYoung) Here's our discussion. #YabtM 🎥 #film #movies #CineMastodon #monly www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1kU1w0VEf8

A mummy is stalking the nursing home and geriatric probably-Elvis (Bruce Campbell) and probably-not-JFK (Ossie Davis) have to fight him. High concept doesn't get much higher than in BUBBA HO-TEP (2002, D. Don Coscarelli). Here's our discussion. #YabtM 🎥 #film #movies #CineMastodon #monly […]

With LEGEND (1985) director Ridley Scott set out to create a new fairy tale. The result is lavish, atmospheric, and deeply odd. Regardless, RIP the great Tim Curry, who makes this thing watchable. #YabtM 🎥 #film #movies #CineMastodon #monly www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YMhsTNqC00

Now that we know passing the Turing test means jack all, all our legacy #scifi with computer/robot characters hits different. I won't ascribe personhood to anything but a person. #AI has flipped me onto the side of that admiral or whatev who wanted to take Data apart to see how he worked

wuf I truly hate making decisions. Too bad #screenwriting and #filmmaking is nothing but. Anyway, today I made a doozy. After a 9 month process, just cast the two leads in ORIGINAL COPY. Details later when I stop vibrating 😵‍💫 #shortfilm

I keep a list of films to draw from when it's my turn to pick for Yelling About Movies. I've had Ross McElwee's #documentary SHERMAN'S MARCH there forever and it's been consistently available free on Kanopy. Well, McElwee's new film REMAKE just came to streaming and guess what? 1/2🧵🎥

Answer your emails. If someone emails you asking for something, and they're polite and serious about it, but you can't help them... say so. "No, I can't help you, good luck with it." It's not hard. Crickets is the worst. We don't even know if you got the email.
