RIP to Rob Reiner, a director behind the camera for many iconic lines & images in modern cinema, and influence with Castle Rock Entertainment beyond his own. Choose to remember that, and his efforts to improve the lives of others - ignore the other noise and maybe pop on one of his films this week.

Quentin Tarantino's recent unfiltered old-man-yells-at-cloud opinions continue to ruffle feathers. In his latest interview, he declared Baby Yoda a "devious little shit" who was "standing on the shoulders of Yoda". "Seriously man, what kind of a name is Grogu anyway?"

Follow us here, folks! Xitter was once our most significant traffic source, but we can't keep posting there in good conscience. We have healthy traffic from search, IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes & others, but please share/repost our writers' work and our profile here so we may grow a social audience here.
If you're interested in following the work of the TAKEONECinema.net team, then we are on a variety of other social sites. We've not engaged fully [on Twitter] for a while, but we've continued to post links to new work. We can't do that anymore. There are a few reasons...(1/6)...including the reduced traffic from X/Twitter overall, increasing tolerance of bigotry & dis/misinformation on the platform, removed API access increasing the small team's posting overheads, & propping up the influence/reach of a site and owner, who is fucking insane. (2/6)

As for the world's richest man, using a media source he bought on a whim, desperately inciting civil war in a different country, & allying w/ a racist crackpot? Not so much the straw that broke the camel's back, as another crate of straws above a now subterranean camel. (3/6)If you're using [Twitter], the activity & high profile contribute to the level of influence - perceived or real - held by its owner and the discourse perpetuated here. Everyone has their own calculation of the value of their presence here, but the scales have tipped for us. (4/6)

We owe it to our writers to promote their work as best we can, but we also want to help create spaces that celebrate art, cinema, film festivals, and thinking about these things in an inclusive way that celebrates all the things that make them great. We can't do that [on Twitter]. (5/6)We'll maintain a placeholder in the hope that the formerly active and vibrant community that was once [on Twitter] may return. And yes, it's not an airport; you don't need to announce your departure, but it's a message that we are still very active - just not [on Twitter].

Hey, @yougov.co.uk - we fixed the labelling on your survey.
A survey broken down by age, responding to the question “Do you think that making a sequel to a movie decades after the original is generally a good idea or generally a bad idea?”, answers being one of ‘Generally a good idea’, ‘Generally a a bad idea’ or ‘Don’t know’The same survey with the answers relabelled ‘I watched good one recently’, ‘I watched good one recently’, and ‘I haven’t watched one recently’

Hopefully goes without saying, but we’re not on board the A.I. ‘art’ & ‘writing’ train. We would never (knowingly!) allow our writers’ work to be used for training data, nor will we use copy or images generated by A.I. in our articles. With some of the shit going on, it’s worth making this explicit.
