Can we talk about when filmmakers make the creative choice to cast the same actor to play a character’s dad as well as the villain?
Jonathan Hyde in Jumamji
and Jason Isaacs in Peter Pan (2003)
I just feel like there’s a Freudian discussion to be had here
things u youngins will never understand

Disaster movies and sci fi movies
I see it in movies mostly but sometimes in real life as well, but people acting like not giving a fuck is hard. You see it a lot in movies, mostly darker ones, where the characters are broken to the point of not caring anymore and it’s like I don’t know. I don’t know why it bothers me so much but like. It’s easy to not give a fuck. It’s not ‘cool’ or 'edgy’ like angsty teenagers throw it around as. You wanna know what’s even harder? Caring. It’s easy to not give a fuck, to not pay attention to horrible things, shit that’s gone down this year for example. And it’s so fucking hard to care in a time like this. To look around at dark and terrible environments and to CARE. It’s hard. To remain optimistic and hopeful is hard. It’s so fucking hard. To not give a fuck is to give up. It’s to stop fighting. Caring is so much harder.
what was this movie even
A cinematic masterpiece.
I CANNOT stress enough that in the Spy Kids films, Danny Trejo is literally playing his titular character from the Machete movies, who happens to be the kids’ uncle, because the movies have the same director

what this reply misses is that Machete originated *in* Spy Kids. the Machete movies are Spy Kids spinoffs
I think it’s important to make clear that Robert Rodriguez, the director, says that Spy Kids and Machete are alternate universe versions of each other , while Danny Trejo, the actor, says that what happens in Machete is just what he does when he’s not hanging out with the kids

Netflix does not yet have a Best Picture Oscar, but Steven Spielberg is still apparently none too happy about the prospect of it winning one soon. The iconic filmmaker has long made his thoughts about Netflix known, saying last March that he flat-out doesn’t think Netflix movies should be eligible for Oscars. He compared Netflix originals to TV movies, saying, “I don’t believe films that are just given token qualifications in a couple of theaters for less than a week should qualify for the Academy Award nomination.”
Now, in the wake of three Oscar wins for Netflix’s Roma, including Best Director, Spielberg is prepared to propose a rule change that would rule Netflix films ineligible at an upcoming Academy Board of Governors meeting (he represents the Directors branch on the board). The news comes courtesy of Indiewire, though it’s unclear specifically what rules Spielberg would propose to be changed, and whether Netflix increasing the length of a theatrical window ahead of a streaming release would ease his concerns.
A spokesman for Amblin had this to say:
“Steven feels strongly about the difference between the streaming and theatrical situation. He’ll be happy if the others will join [his campaign] when that comes up [at the Academy Board of Governors meeting]. He will see what happens.”
This puts Spielberg in direct conflict with his friend and fellow filmmaker Martin Scorsese, whose new film The Irishman will debut on Netflix later this year. The streaming service has already committed to a theatrical release for the film, but Scorsese reportedly wants them to give the film a wide release. That poses a challenge. Roma was released in theaters three weeks before it hit the streaming service—a first—but only in limited release, and it followed a smaller platform rollout in the ensuing months.
In order to convince major theatrical chains like AMC or Regal to carry The Irishman, either Netflix would have to bend to their rules and release the film in theaters a full 90 days before it hits Netflix, or theater chains would have to break their long-held standards that hold fast to the 90-day window. That window of exclusivity is there to ensure that exhibiting films is worth a theater’s while—if a movie’s on Netflix at the same time it’s in theaters, chances are most people aren’t going to pay extra to go see it in a movie theater.
Aww his white male identity in Hollywood feels threatened. Good.
i lost it at the ready player one bit
Spielberg has always been a brat about giving credit where it’s due. I wish he would just sit back and do his sadboy alien movies and just leave the awards industry alone
Don’t you love it when people you looked up to as a kid turn out to be giant fucking assholes?
Dreamworks movies that need sequels: Megamind and Rise of the Guardians.
Dreamworks movies that are getting sequels: Boss Baby and Shrek.
“real life doesnt have trigger warnings” imagine supermarkets taking all of the allergy warnings off of all of the foods and then being like “sorry sweetie, welcome to the real world (:” when everyone started going into anaphylactic shock
Or movies stop having previews or ratings and 5 year olds are crying in Quentin Tarantino movies and their parents are saying “time to grow up (:”
lmao sjws and their fuckin wet floor signs
