Knives Out (2020)

I knew from the trailer that this would be going to the top of my queue.
Turns out, it’s brilliant, one of the best American movies of the past few years. The acting is fun and the characters hilarious.
But more, it’s a whodunnit crossed with a Hitchcock thriller, so that not even the characters know what really happened. The twists pile on, leading me to suspect a bit of shark jumping at first, but the plot was so tight I had to relent.
So, this is another must-see, and it touches on elite depravity, the children of privilege and their mammon cult. A true dark comedy, we need more like this.

FilmStruck Letter Causes Geeksplosion

The little-dick film snobs lost their shit over this:
However, feature-length narrative cinema made by mostly white male auteurs dominated the collection. These are not the films that need seeing or saving. They may not circulate widely in popular culture, but they account for almost our entire institutional and disciplinary canon. And despite the collective anxiety about their disappearance, they will endure in archives, film studies programs and, yes, even online …More radically, however, we might ask whether these are the works we need to rescreen or urge others to discover.
FilmStruck wasn’t that good for movies. Don’t mourn its demise.
What an absolute gift it would be to escape the corrupt inheritance of the auteur — a 20th-century invention; film scholars have the receipts — and the long shadow of a canon that has compelled generations of students to mimic the powers of patriarchy and colonialism, to play at corporate theater, or to wonder about their own exclusion from what they see on screen.

Well this is sure to be controversial. But is it warranted?
Should Sofia Coppola Stay In Her White Lane? Sure. But That Means Acknowledging Her Racism.

Eisenberg Disses Comic Con
Posted: July 15, 2015 in -Tags: class, Comic Con, elitism, fans, Hollywood, Jesse Eisenberg, whore
If there were any doubts about Jesse Eisenberg’s douchebag credentials, they are surely dispelled. The narcissistic imbecile loves to take the money from fans though, and it warms his heart that increased sales are part of the deal…
“It is like being screamed at by thousands of people,” Eisenberg said, according to the Associated Press. “I don’t know what the experience is throughout history, probably some kind of genocide. I can’t think of anything that’s equivalent.”
The man whore appreciates the marketing though. What a vapid, idiotic piece of shit.
Always hated that sniveling asshole…
“The movie was received well. That’s why we go,” Eisenberg told PEOPLE at the Monday premiere of his other new film, The End of the Tour.
“You get to leave relatively unscathed and it’s at least a year before you have to do anything like that again,” he added of Comic-Con.
