I see that comment impacted you deeply

 

Y'all know how Cinemasins sucks right? Apparently some people involved with the channel put a podcast together that's more or less a ripoff of another one called 80's All Over

 

So yeah, I suppose it is humanly possible for cinemashits to be even worse

Stream Wars: Hulu Prices Dropping As Netflix Costs Go Up

 

If they dropped the price of ad free that would be great.

I missed the Jason Reitman discussion from last week but Up in the Air is one of my favorite movies, and Thank You For Smoking and Juno are both solid, even if they don't 100% hold up.

 

I wasn’t familiar but he sounds like a peach of a person.

The descriptions of his work made me think of the little of Chantel Akerman’s filmography I’m familiar with. News From Home specifically, perhaps

 

Wonder if Netflix would ever offer a discounted plan which only gives you access to their original content.

“[Blomkamp’s] idea is that it should be the proper [Paul] Verhoeven if Verhoeven had directed a movie right after RoboCop,” Neumeier explained. He also gave a big hint about what direction they’re going with the villains. “I don’t want to spoil anything but we had some ideas about shall we say about the future of augmented humans and one of our villains is that and our other villain lives in the corporate world,” he said.

He also wants Weller back for this.

 

Super Bowl ad I guess

 

Damn. Emmanuel Lubezki took these pics. That’s cool

 

Looks like Jay and Silent Bob have found a home.

So excited. It's been a bummer couple of years as a fan, hearing all these projects get talked about that no one wants pick up.

 

That's Kevin's MO. Look at all of the movies and comics he just never gets around to finishing.

 

That's true. From Hit Someone, Mall Rats 2 and Clerks 3, those seem to be all written and just not able to get any studio interest though I thought.

 

Is there much of a market for Jay and Silent Bob movies these days?

They feel very late 90's to early 2000's and just not relevant anymore.

 

After Clerks 2 his movies really haven't made much money. I think it's a given going into this that it's not gonna do much boxoffice wise.

He seems to be the master making movies on shoe string budgets so it doesn't really lose anything.

 

On a modest budget, I could see them being successful. The premise is definitely dated, but his audience is pretty consistent when it comes to those film. I'll still go see them, even if I'm groaning my way through a lot of it. Just make it super meta or something.

 

The premise itself is super meta, just like the first one. I bet it does as well as Clerks 2.

 

Next Christopher Nolan Film to Open In July 2020

 

Of the five or six Kevin Smith movies he’s said he’s making in the last few years, Jay and Bob Reboot is the one I’ve noticed as getting the most buzz (even over Clerks 3).

I’m just excited to see Jason Mewes back on the screen

 

if you’re not already following Lubezki on IG, you’re missing out.
