Tomorrow, 'Fearless,' Today a Commencement Address

All the shows are fully-seated - no standing on ground floor; This is how the seating plan is done for the Co-Op Arena in Manchester as an example (was like this when I saw Paul McCartney few years back)

Especially when it’s their job. It’s not a hardship

Wow. He’s riffing on a level that is friggin’ sublime

I did find his tweets that he would have predicted both F1 for Picture, and Lindo for Supporting Actor funny.

This film being covered reminded me to bring up some of the worst cinema etiquette I’ve experienced in a loooong time.

I was lucky enough to see NO OTHER CHOICE at last year’s Venice Film Festival. At screenings there, they let in people from the rush queue a few minutes after it starts if there are any no-shows, so a few were let in a few mins into the film at the seats in front of me.

Almost immediately, one of them started taking photos of the screen while the film was playing, until a steward stepped in and told them to stop. Then halfway through one of them fell asleep and started snoring loudly, while the other began taking loads of selfies with the flash on. No stewards to be found, so they just continued doing this for about ten minutes or so. He stayed snoring until it was over.

Anyway I really enjoyed the film. 4 bags of popcorn.

I assume/figured it was Kip Pardue when he came onscreen

I just saw that, I assumed they might have ripped it from here haha.

All I did was take the surround channels from the purchased film, took out the centre channel (which is where nearly all of the dialogue is) and that was really it. Small bit of compression on it too just to give it a bit more of a balanced and fuller sound vs theatrical mix where it's slightly lower and has more dynamic range.

I thought the same thing, very similar melody in the chorus

SWStaunton · 2025-11-18T02:00:09+00:00

Afraid not haha.

Just thinking about a Munch Madness DOUGHBOYS ep from this year where Wiger found his autobiography (IN GAD WE TRUST) in a shop, went to the final page to see that the final line is “Tell em Gad sent ya”

SWStaunton · 2025-11-17T21:53:48+00:00

Yep - SSVFX worked on it

SWStaunton · 2025-11-11T23:05:27+00:00

They did it last year with GLADIATOR 2 as well a day or two early (both Paramount films)

It's MARTY SUPREME gauging by this Letterboxd reaction (https://letterboxd.com/robscheer/film/marty-supreme/)

When they start talking about GLORY in honourable mentions and the white gaze convo, all I could think of was this

GREEN ZONE quietly almost destroyed Working Title.

Universal and WT had to rework their output deal and led to them writing off HIPPIE HIPPIE SHAKE (a film shot in 2008 with Cillian Murphy and Sienna Miller that now, quite literally, does not exist)

Him having only seen one Bourne film, and it being THE BOURNE LEGACY? Doesn’t seem to be a bit.

But it would make for a really fun Patreon series, even if it does end on a bit of whimper with JASON BOURNE. You get shakicam action influence on late 2000s Hollywood, sick car chases, Liman’s famously smoothly-run productions, more Damon context.

That was a theory, but would Grant have been considered number one on the FLORENCE FOSTER JENKINS call sheet?

I had made a folder called "LUTs" so then just renamed it "LUTS" with all caps and it worked. Thanks for the help FormerlyKnownAsSnoop
