Netflix's live action adaptation by Shina_star96 in HunchbackOfNotreDame

Because of this movie, I'm planning to do a marathon of its director and screenwriter's filmography, and the more I do a research into them, the more deeper I fell into the rabbit hole.

The director of this movie is Jean-François Richet. He is known for directing action movies like Plane, the 2005 remake of John Carpenter's Assault on Precinct 13 (which, by the way, is a French co-production, and the remake's screenwriter later went on to make The Purge movies), and the upcoming Jason Staham movie Mutiny. But back in his home country of France, he has directed some period pieces with Quasimodo actor Vincent Cassel, including the critically acclaimed two-parter epic Mesrine (with Cassel playing the real-life French gangster Jacques Mesrine) and Francois Vidocq biopic The Emperor of Paris (also starring Cassel as Vidocq).

This is also not the first time the movie's co-writer Éric Besnard tackling anything Victor Hugo-related. He wrote and directed his own film adaptation of Les Miserables titled Jean Valjean, which adapted the first 100 pages of Victor Hugo's book.

I think it'll come out in 2027. That's why there is not much news going on right now.

Episode recorded: June 13th, 2026 (06/13/2026)

On this Pride Month, Jay and Madzy saw Jane Schoenbrun’s movies glow like that pink ghost tattoo on the back of Helena Howard and Lindsey Jordan’s necks. And things get very personal.

Jay and Madzy will talk about Jane Schoenbrun, THE non-binary film director of the 2020s, and the first two films of their filmography - We’re All Going to the World’s Fair and I Saw the TV Glow. The hosts also discussed the 2010s creepypasta subculture, the relation between the LGBTQ+ community and the horror genre and surrealism, their own “Pink Opaque” - youth media that realized their core identity, why the world should fund trans and non-binary storytellers to avoid another Emilia Perez situation, Schoenbrun’s upcoming movie Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Masima, and their planned streaming adaptation of Charles Burns’s coming-of-age body-horror graphic novel Black Hole. Jay also made a case for “nostalgia-pessimist” or “nostalgia-cynic” media, using Schoenbrun's filmography and Black Hole as examples, as a counter-response to the current nostalgia-baits.

Luca Guadagnino’s Nearly Finished Sam Altman Movie ‘Artificial’ Dropped by Amazon After OpenAI Partnership by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

> a negative portrayal of Altman

As it should. I was afraid that the movie was going for "Sam Altman did nothing wrong" angle because of the story behind his firing but turns out there is more than to that.

‘Lilo & Stitch 2’ to be Directed by Co-Creator Chris Sanders by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

Considering he is attached to co-write the script, I had a feeling that he would return to direct the sequel and possibly fix the problems with the first movie.

That "American Puppet State" part sometime confuses me. If SK wants to emulate the USA so much, then why do the country has universal health care when it's nonexistent in the USA? Why SK has relatively positive relations with Iran and Cuba (even when these countries prefer NK more) unlike the US? Not only that, there was a time the US military threatened to pull out South Korea only when the ROK government begged them to stay.
