THE RING is incredible. It’s a gorgeous, well-shot film. The film is creepy and suspenseful from the opening scene. This interpretation of the story is also absolutely heart wrenching. It’s another movie that doesn’t let up. The cast is also incredible. I really enjoyed it.

Recuerdo con especial cariño "Ojos de fuego": fue lo primero que leí de Stephen King, allá por mi temprana adolescencia.

Vista la nueva adaptación de 2022. Pese al interés que me despierta, bastante flojita. No logra trasladar a la pantalla en absoluto la atmósfera angustiosa, casi paranoica, de la novela, con esa huida constante y desesperada de oscuros agentes del Gobierno. Sin ser tampoco una gran película, está mucho mejor conseguida la versión de 1984.

#Watching SOUL

Heady stuff, but no less entertaining than some of Pixar's best. Tackling issues like your purpose in life, what it means to be human, the pleasures or murder for hire, and what it means to be true to your soul.
The film has heart, soul, and full frontal nudity. What more can you ask from a family movie?
15 minutes worth of credits? Pretty sure 13 minutes of those are ads.
Loved the Django Unchained reference.

We have selected our narrator for Tula, my novel set in the Golden Age of Hollywood. Amelia Mendez is a voice actor with over fifteen years experience in storytelling, acting, and producing. She has a lovely voice and we think she is ideally suited to narrate Tula’s story. We anticipate that it will take around two months to produce the audiobook. I’m very excited about this project and can’t wait to get started 🙂

One of the biggest mistakes of the entire Sequel trilogy was not letting this moment be Leia’s chance to go out in a blaze of glory. Not letting her pass the torch on to a new generation of iconic leaders. Not letting Carrie Fisher have a dignified and glorious ending to her portrayal of this role.

Even when it came out, I knew this was a mistake. With the benefit of hindsight and knowing what would happen between ep 8 & 9, it becomes a tragedy. #StarWars #TheLastJedi #Cinemastodon

It’s after 11pm on a Thursday night and the house is very dark and totally quiet. Of course I decided to put on headphones and fire up Alien. That’s a totally normal thing to do. #Cinemastodon

Hey #cinemastodon!

Would anyone happen to know the negative stock used for Ghost Dog (1999)? With my researching I'm assuming Kodak 2383, but I could be wrong.

Any help?

EDIT:
I'm told the criterion version is a telecine scan, most likely of the negative stock.

This is INSANE. #Disney deleting huge swathes of content made explicitly for D+ to take a tax write-off, including newer shows that ended THIS CALENDAR YEAR. Most of the shows are non-#Marvel and non-#StarWars that they produced.

This is so anti-creatives it’s mind-blowing. To throw out your own content. 😖

#Watching THE UNINVITED (1944)

Woman gets a job taking care of some white kids and things get all kinds of effed up. Suggests a lot more than it shows but still keeps the audience unsettled. Deliberate but not boring. Invite yourself to see some old school #horror and Mr. Kemper will give you some penny candy

Update- Mr. Kemper died in 2008. So no candy.
