Something tells me this movie trivia game was made with AI…

A film-themed trivia card asking, “In Police Academy, what is the nickname for the tallest tower?” The options are A – High Tower, B – Small Tower, and C – Academy Tower, with A – High Tower highlighted in red as the correct answer.

When you can’t turn off your filmmaking brain and ruin documentaries for yourself: ”Wait, those two shots were not shot at the same time. Is he responding to something else? Did they do separate takes? I can see her mouth moving in his shot but she’s not speaking”

In Raiders of the Lost Ark, Ronald Lacey didn’t know his face was going to melt and his reaction is genuine. I love learning film trivia on social media!

I misread the headline as one movie and got very excited for a moment…

Headline on Hollywood Reporter that reads ”Paddington 4, Escape From New York' Reboot in the Works”

I recently tripped and fell while running. I mentioned this in a WhatsApp conversation and joked that I’m too old to run at 45. Now I’m getting ads like this…

A weird side effect of seeing all these Hollywood blockbuster style AI videos is that I get less and less interested in watching actual Hollywood blockbusters. It’s kind of like when someone makes a parody of a genre that’s so accurate that it ruins it and you can’t see/do it the same way again.

The last three Spanish films I’ve seen; The Coffee Table, Kidnapped, and Cell 211 have all been so incredibly bleak. Spain are you ok?

I guess YouTube has a yearly recap now too. Also, everyone should be watching Taskmaster.

When you record a long YouTube video and don’t notice that the overhead mic is slowly sagging into frame so you have to reshoot it… 😞

Many times I’ve gotten these on the first try but yesterday I didn’t… 😳 (You only see a little bit of the image at first and more is revealed with each guess)

A screenshot of framed.wtf one frame challenge where you guess the movie. The film is Shazam and I got it on the second try.

I just learned they’re doing a ”Dancing with the Stars” and ”Shark Week” mashup called ”Dancing with Sharks”. Like, how do you even make jokes anymore?

Very puzzled by this bit in ”The Spiral Staircase”. She’s standing in front of a mirror but in the wide shots it’s clearly not a mirror but a flat picture (without her reflection). Very obvious when camera moves. What could be the reason for this?

If you didn’t get that Bogart is evil in ”The Petrified Forest” the way they frame him against the background may give some subtle hints…

The thing about mixing sound on a great stage is that you know you’ll never hear the movie sounding this good again.

Yesterday the cleaning staff at Sony thought I’d moved out of my office and threw out the stuff I had in there, like my signed Until Dawn posters 😞 Oh well, I’ll see the cast again while doing publicity.

I don't think anyone is demanding that every person needs stacks of film, VHS, DVDs and Blurays but the fact is, owning physical media is the only way to guarantee access to what you wish to see in the future. We are seeing streaming getting yanked on a whim and it's only going to get worse.

I was also told to ignore bullying. Then one day in 5th grade I completely snapped and beat up the main bully. Not only was I never bullied again, I became best friends with the bully!! Very confusing because I was always told “violence solves nothing”. But in that case violence solved everything.

She and the team were fantastic! I kept my ideas pretty loose and mostly just let them do their magic. Really loved Louise’s idea to take inspiration from ancient Greek theater masks for the minions. For Shazam I wanted to try and go a bit more modern this time since we went old school in the 1st.

It saddens me that this is where it’s all heading. You will never own a copy of a movie again. They’ll be able to change, censor or just flat out delete movies that you “own”.
