Alright class, let's see how much you've learned from following me.

If the production budget for the film is $127 million... and assuming they spend about $100 million on advertising (based on industry standards)...

How much money should the film make at the box office in order to break even?

The first Edison Kinetoscope parlor opened in New York City #OTD in 1894.

Price: 25 cents for 5 films (each 15-20 seconds long).

We've been “going to the movies” for 131 years. #FilmMastodon

We all remember Nicolas Cage when he‘s in full wacko mode and sometimes forget that he can be a subtle actor. Like in Dream Scenario, which I just enjoyed (or in one of my favorite movies of his, Pig). Distinctive movie, Kaufman-esque, with some remarkable editing and the great performance from Cage.

Stürmisch ist das Kennenlernen beim Bowling. Bundeswehrsoldat Isaac und die gelähmte Edith freunden sich an. Ihre Begeisterung für heiße Motocross-Räder schweißt zusammen und bald ist Isaac oft zu Gast in der Villa bei der Familie. Eine Therapie verspricht Hoffnung, doch wie weit ist jeder bereit zu gehen?

J'ai regardé le film 'Été 85' pour la première fois hier. C'est un film de 2020 de François Ozon.
J'étais bien ému à la fin.

Just watched The Amateur that felt like a The Accountant-spinoff - specially as an The Accountant 2-trailer played before this and Jon Bernthal is in both. I guess we are getting an AKCU (Autistic Killer Cinematic Universe).

46 years ago today, on April 12, 1979, the first Mad Max film premiered in Australia, kicking off George Miller's ever-evolving, dystopian post-apocalyptic action film saga.

(Original film poster illustrations by Bill Garland and John Hamagami.)

Jack Lemmon presented Billy Wilder w/ the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award at the 60th Academy Awards #OTD in 1988.

“A master of the art of the movies.”

Psychological drama meets an East End gangster film meets a psychedelic freak-out. PERFORMANCE (1970, D. Donald Cammell, Nicholas Roeg) is about a local mobster (James Fox) on the run, hiding out in the flat of a famous, decadent musician (Mick Jagger). Many many inexplicable things happen. About half of us never, ever figure out if there's a real plot going on here. #uk #MickJagger #YabtM #reviews #YouTube #movies #film #cinema #CineMastodon #FilmMastodon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3Evx8t9hEk&t=282s

ENTER THE VOID (2009) In this wild film, director Gaspar Noé explores what happens to a dissolute young man as he lives, dies, and floats around in the afterlife-- all from his POV. The visual innovation-- floating cameras and impossible colors-- are like nothing you have seen before. #YabtM #reviews #YouTube #movies #film #cinema #CineMastodon #FilmMastodon #gasparnoe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3AL7xRB7Yc

The Swan Song of Fedor Ozerov
2025

- Berlinale - Arsenal on Location - Forum & Friends: Osteuropa-Nachlese -

Der Mittzwanziger Fedor ist auf einer skurrilen Suche nach seinem Lieblingspulli, von dem er überzeugt, ist, nur in jenem seine poetischen Lieder schreiben zu können. Parallel dazu wird medial der atomare Dritte Weltkrieg heraufbeschworen, welchen er resigniert ignoriert.

If you're concerned about seeing the first FOUR films before this one, don't be. You're not missing much.

Tonight's BAD movie should have been called 'REVENGE OF THE DWARVES'

While Disney is creating unintentional nightmare fuel with CGI dwarves, this movie used ACTUAL little people to scare you intentionally. See how far we've fallen since the progressive 90s.

Charlie Chaplin was presented w/ an Honorary Oscar at the 44th Academy Awards #OTD in 1972.

After a 20-year exile from the United States, he received the longest ovation in Oscar history.

On a personal note, I've spent the week talking to lawyers, and permitting people, and loan officers, and lions, and tigers, and bears, oh my. And my wife has indicated that as good as comedy movies are for brains, she thinks mine might benefit from leaving the house. If I do I'll be watching in spirit.
