morganforrest.bsky.social @morganforrest.bsky.social · 01/10/2026No matter how headache-inducingly awful the new Avengers movie winds up being, I highly doubt anybody is going to tell you to wait for it to hit streaming. I don’t understand why we should be treating ambitious new releases like Digger any differently. 010
morganforrest.bsky.social @morganforrest.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Still seeing a lot of “You could never make Seinfeld today,” and… if you could make Curb Your Enthusiasm today, you could probably make Seinfeld. 010
morganforrest.bsky.social @morganforrest.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I never trust the initial reception to an Innaritu movie. Some critics seem to really hate this guy, especially after Birdman, which is funny because that movie is way harsher on creatives than it is on critics and also just rocks. 020
morganforrest.bsky.social @morganforrest.bsky.social · 22/09/2026I love the recreation of it in My Own Private Idaho. Putting the “I know thee not, old man” in a crowded restaurant makes it even more degrading and heartbreaking. 020
morganforrest.bsky.social @morganforrest.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Crazy to think where Disney started out and where they are now. They were once leading innovators in the world of animation, and now they rarely do anything other than buy out superior companies and desecrate our favorite childhood movies with shitty live action remakes. 010
morganforrest.bsky.social @morganforrest.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Hope has some really stylish action filmmaking, but it runs out of ideas fast and the CGI is distractingly bad. Probably going to skip the sequel. 011

morganforrest.bsky.social @morganforrest.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Sick of people telling me a show “gets” good. If you’d click off a movie because the first five minutes didn’t grab you, then I don’t understand why anyone would suffer through hours of mediocrity. 010
morganforrest.bsky.social @morganforrest.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Furious starts off fresh and exciting but in its last three episodes the show becomes an endless parade of exposition scenes interrupted by the occasional raunchy joke or violent outburst. There’s some good stuff here and there, but on the whole it’s quite the disappointment. 000

morganforrest.bsky.social @morganforrest.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Should go without saying, but trans people are people, not a fucking debate topic. Until we can all agree on that, there’s really no point in discussing anything else about them. 011
morganforrest.bsky.social @morganforrest.bsky.social · 10/09/2026To be clear, Aaron Rodgers is still a piece of shit though 020

morganforrest.bsky.social @morganforrest.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Watching the Salman episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm. Seriously one of the best of the show. The main attraction is Salman himself. His dialogue combines the crassness of the show with the ornate prose of an expert novelist. Never thought I’d hear the words “sexy pixie dust,” but I’m so glad I did. 000

morganforrest.bsky.social @morganforrest.bsky.social · 02/09/2026I thought “Growing up I thought books were boring” was going to be a dumb lead-in to “But in my old age of 20-something, I think they’re awesome!” Instead he promotes literature of his that looks extremely questionable and basically implies it’s the only enjoyable book ever made. What a dope. 0230

morganforrest.bsky.social @morganforrest.bsky.social · 02/09/2026I feel like anything that isn’t animated or doesn’t have some cuddly animal in it that screams kids movie is automatically rated PG-13. I think Conclave squeaked by on account of its educational value, similar to All the President’s Men back in the ‘70s. 000
morganforrest.bsky.social @morganforrest.bsky.social · 30/08/2026It’s happening again. They’re using flowery psychoanalytic language to legitimize blatant sexism. And they’re being even more weird and stupid about it than usual. 010

morganforrest.bsky.social @morganforrest.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Also, it’s telling that nobody at Fable thought it might be a good idea to somehow use AI to track down the missing footage. That probably wouldn’t lead to anything, but even if AI could faithfully recreate Orson’s vision, which is a massive if, it would still pale in comparison to the real thing. 010
morganforrest.bsky.social @morganforrest.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Great video. I think AI has benefited from being compared not to real films but other AI slop. Whenever AI is slightly less slop, people say “Oh imagine where this will be in 10 years!” Pairing AI with real, beautiful films shows that the quality gap between them is plainly unbridgeable. 110
morganforrest.bsky.social @morganforrest.bsky.social · 22/08/2026I said that I loved much of Nolan’s work, but I thought he lacked the visual imagination of Spielberg and Zemeckis.

morganforrest.bsky.social @morganforrest.bsky.social · 18/08/2026There’s a bit later in The Odyssey where Odysseus is getting surrounded and poked by spears and Telemachus screams “Dad!” and throws him a new weapon. It still makes me smile. One of my favorite moments in any Nolan movie. 010
