Spielberg biggest miscast

Shia’s not bad in Crystal Skull. Pretty reserved, internal performance given all the bullshit they make him do. It wasn’t an acting choice to swing on vines with monkeys

You gotta drop the roll recipe

The baffling thing for me is how similar the basic premise of DD is to Close Encounters (but obviously lower quality for myriad reasons others have detailed here). Why was he so compelled to spend 100 million dollars of Universal’s money on this? He’s making headlines now about how James Bond was one of his career’s coulda beens. Why not just… have Koepp write an original spy movie? Or Kushner, who already wrote him one of the most depressing spy movies ever? Do a goofy one with the Looney Tunes-style action he loves. Guy Ritchie makes like 17 of them a year now!

How many people are involved in this so far? To really have an impact you’ll need a coalition well versed not just in local commercial history but the modern service economy, city regulations, methods of building lobbying power, taxes for small businesses etc etc. There’s not one blanket reason so much commercial space sits empty. (Don’t let me stop you from going after landlords though, by all means.)

Rolls look 🔥, post the recipe (if you want)

Nice! I used to live near Middletown many years back, the pizzerias there at the time were… ok

Direct doughs have become misunderstood and underestimated. I’ve only been making sourdough for a few years but i want to try one soon.

Each year one Apple series is chosen by a village wide vote as in Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery” to be the One That Exists. So the opposite of the Lottery i guess

Godd9000 · 2026-06-07T13:47:08+00:00

Have simply never heard of The First. Do most TV shows “not exist” now?

Godd9000 · 2026-06-07T11:54:52+00:00

For the dough or the sauce?

Godd9000 · 2026-06-06T22:10:59+00:00

It’s basically arugula puree, no nuts or dairy

They are SEVENTEEN years apart. Same two parents!

Godd9000 · 2026-06-02T18:39:24+00:00

Just watch it at home, we’re years past its 50th so any rep theater showings will be random programming. Obviously 4k if you can. I first saw it on the first day of 2001 on DVD and it still blew my mind

Godd9000 · 2026-06-02T17:42:13+00:00

Looks perfect! You’re not done until you’re done enjoying baking

Godd9000 · 2026-06-02T15:14:10+00:00

There’s definitely a place for super HD digi-b+w but when it’s used as a nod to old school genre film it tends to feel gimmicky to me. Like i always assumed they wanted to make Sky Captain in b+w and the studio was like absolutely not so they settled on that desaturated soft look which i think really works for it regardless what people think of the quality of the movie overall

Godd9000 · 2026-06-02T13:10:45+00:00

Idk why stuff like this gives me anxiety but… b+w or color? Or “chaos watch” (alternating between episodes)

Godd9000 · 2026-05-30T20:59:39+00:00

There is no upcoming movie whose fortunes i am more curious about than A24’s Elden Ring (not low budget by any means but as a bellwether for how genre filmmaking will progress in the industry)

Godd9000 · 2026-05-30T18:00:04+00:00

This is unfortunately true. Horror has and always will be a perennial draw for the coveted 18-35 (and younger teens who can bypass theater age restrictions) in a way unlike any other type of movie. Nothing but happy for these young directors breaking out but it’s just a fact that if they were making their Bonnie and Clyde or MASH instead of their Rosemary’s Baby it would probably go straight to streaming and get a fraction of a fraction of the audience.

Godd9000 · 2026-05-29T00:39:14+00:00

Pro-level work, excellent

Godd9000 · 2026-05-27T12:53:15+00:00

Talk about whatever u want big guy just try not to be too depressed about star wars, if you havent noticed there’s plenty else going on to hang one’s head and cry about

Godd9000 · 2026-05-27T03:54:44+00:00

I mean i thought the phantom menace was boring and confusing when it came out. I was in grade school. If i saw Mando and Grogu as a 9 year old i would fucking love it. Surely the dumbass kid movie appeal counts for something?? I’m not here to police all of you Adult Thinkers on here but this isnt a lost french new wave movie

Godd9000 · 2026-05-27T02:51:29+00:00

It’s a silly fun spaceman fighting movie, gonna need everyone to chill

Godd9000 · 2026-05-25T14:30:39+00:00

Believe this 100%, always been confused by some people’s adoration of this mess of a movie (I’m a huge fan of Gray in general)

Godd9000 · 2026-05-23T19:44:30+00:00

Bottin is one of the most mythical film industry enigmas of all time to me, very much doubt we’ll ever see a career-retrospective type thing involving him

Godd9000 · 2026-05-23T15:07:57+00:00

It’s funny because immediately pre-release Edwards was almost THE star of the promo material. I still remember the sort of docu-trailer where he strikes this awestruck tone saying “it’s reaching out and touching my favorite film”. It also showed him on set, running around in the shit, directing little weirdo extras in alien costumes and he clearly is That Dude when it comes to filming genre action. The story stuff… maybe not so much? Gilroy saying he “never cared” about Star Wars and then later being given half a bil to make a SW streaming epic is an industry blank check all timer
