positive · AI labelView post →My friend @taki-malamute.bsky.social made a lewd joke about Bandit in the movie theater. Knowing I have Photoshop and will take *any* excuse. How dare they?
neutral · AI labelView post →Keeping seeing the take: "@emilyrcwilson.bsky.social is smart and all, but she doesn't know *film* and so she doesn't really *get it.*" My bros in Christ, opinions about films are ALWAYS informed by life experiences. There is no such thing as pure film criticism! Knowing "film" biases you, too!
neutral · AI labelView post →#MovieHistory On this day, 1993, Dazed and Confused, directed by Richard Linklater, was released. Knowing that music was absolutely vital to the film, Richard Linklater spent 1/6th of the film’s budget on securing music rights. Ironically Robert Plant would not sign off on using Led Zeppelin music.

neutral · AI labelView post →There's been a brief update on The Wild Robot sequel in Deadline as Chris Sanders and the team behind the first film were interviewed at the BAFTA afterparty saying that progress is in the works. Knowing how grander Wild Robot Escapes is as a book, I'm ecstatic for the film.
neutral · AI labelView post →Mentioned yesterday. In November a film production came to my house to film. The film is The Monster starring Djimon Hounsou & Lauren LaVera. Knowing nothing about the film, I chose to homage a classic Bernie Wrightson cover with the stars inserted into it. These got printed up for cast and crew.
neutral · AI labelView post →Knowing nothing about this movie, but knowing a LITTLE about split, you will not believe what i thought was maybe going on in this movie for the first 7 or 8 minutes. It's maybe my dumbest idea of all time.
neutral · AI labelView post →Knowing this was animated by Korean animation studio DR Movie who worked on the actual Death Note anime makes this so much better,

neutral · AI labelView post →In my opinion, the way to not be wrong about Nathan Fielder's new movie is to avoid thinking it's "about" Elizabeth Holmes. It isn't! It's a movie about the hubris of thinking you can sit down with the devil and not lose your soul. Knowing she is the devil won't help; she's better at it than you.
neutral · AI labelView post →I didn't look up anything before agreeing to watch it with her today, and I'm glad I didn't. The pacing was fantastic, the movie was intense in a way that was constantly paying off, and it was visually stunning. Knowing it was stop motion almost made it painful to contemplate the amount of work.

neutral · AI labelView post →Share a fictional character's death you haven't gotten over. I haven't even seen the movie and I don't intend to. Knowing what's going to happen/seeing the trailer made me cry very hard already. Just. No.

I THOUGHT IT WAS A MOVIE TROPE

neutral · AI labelView post →Enjoyed #Digger even more the 2nd viewing. Knowing the reveal ahead of time added to the experience. I think this movie will get another push. Cruise and Goodman (maybe Ahmed too) are likely to get nominations. Best Picture also in play. It’s an important work of art.
positive · AI labelView post →Knowing how the Film Certification Board works here it was probably censored
neutral · AI labelView post →Oh, I actually didn't think they would start filming at this time, but great to hear! Knowing that Chris Sanders is writing and directing this sequel gives me so much excitement and hope! I can't wait to see what he brings to his first major contribution to the franchise since the original film!
neutral · AI labelView post →most likely , taking a life is not a movie it has an effect on someone. I hope he will be okay and that his kids and family will get through this. Knowing this happened at their school and their dad had to kill someone is a lot for children at their age. Bend is not that far from where i am.

neutral · AI labelView post →Absolutely! Knowing the end of the movie, I'm like buds, so how did this end for ya? The chuds wanting AI women robots - okay!
neutral · AI labelView post →Anyone remember that Nic Cage movie “Knowing”?
neutral · AI labelView post →Knowing Rob Oliver is directing the movie does have me hopeful for the 2nd Simpsons movie. Although I'd most likely enjoy it regardless who directed the movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →Those headphones have given me Cassandra Syndrome. Knowing they absolutely suck *but look interesting on camera* told me everything about the "what is real, tho?" factor of that movie. Everyone is pouring over the delicate line between fiction and reality, but folks, it's just wrestling kayfabe.
neutral · AI labelView post →Knowing the context of the movie, hell no, this is a bad idea.
neutral · AI labelView post →Today? Let's go with this one: Symphony no 7 in A Major, Op 92 Allegretto by Beethoven (used to great effect in the underappreciated Nicolas Cage movie, "Knowing") youtu.be/xaYWy3eHtCM
positive · AI labelView post →If a movie earns the longer runtime, fine. But we are in a place where it feels like every movie is aiming for 2+ hours. I want to checkout both Mutiny and Runner. Knowing they clock in around 90 is going to move them up my list.
neutral · AI labelView post →That is the most appropriate movie scene you could have selected. I danced a lot tonight, and I have fond memories of Dirty Dancing. Knowing this part was filmed in NC made me smile even more. Thanks.
neutral · AI labelView post →Bunlith unbias review. With spoilers.. It just kept getting spammed about things I didn't care about so i watched it. I am gonna discus writing and animation. Just genuin advice. I am writing the review while watching it scene by scene for the second time. Episode 1: Animation looks great skits are funny. Knowing the witch is trans, the guy could have been doing a more girly voice I know it can be, done and it makes things later on way more funny and interesting. After entering the game the…
positive · AI labelView post →Knowing these cheap ass execs, they'd probably just have us film a guy holding up a piece of black card with star stickers while he undulates "do-da-loo-do" over and over. 😠
neutral · AI labelView post →Just watched this, fabulous. It was poorly received upon release in cinemas (read the reviews after viewing it) & these make sense BUT I have a habit of starting a movie & looking it up in Wikipedia as I’m watching. Knowing what it was about beforehand was a great idea in this instance ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
positive · AI labelView post →Knowing I get to see WIldwood tomorrow, and a new Godzilla movie in less than two weeks is a greater mental health boost than modern science can ever otherwise provide to me.
neutral · AI labelView post →FFS I sound like @masnick.com but the point of the movie is the creation of a fanbase, and THUS: Connect with the audience, give them a reason to buy. Knowing the story's journey doesn't replace experiencing your art. Stop trying to police media coverage and just tell the fucking stories.
neutral · AI labelView post →Knowing hollywood, they'll make anything at that point. Imagine a live action candy crush movie 💀
neutral · AI labelView post →Knowing the history of low budget horror movie producers and directors they probably got paid less for those scenes somehow
neutral · AI labelView post →Day 12: Knock at the Cabin Phew, this was an emotionally hard watch. A very weighty movie indeed. Bautista excels here, and Rupert Grint was a pleasant surprise! Knowing the book ending was even more fucked really got me lol
positive · AI labelView post →Knowing Bandori heights is so funny. *Holds up Hotaru* this small creature is the same height as well known film & television actress and idol Shirasagi Chisato
neutral · AI labelView post →Knowing that now, I guess the girl acts a *little* more her age in the movie. But also what?? 😭 Yeah the title change is dumb lol. That’s why people are even making Coraline comparisons lol
neutral · AI labelView post →Knowing it has WWE Maga wrestlers. I am not touching that movie with a 50 foot pole
neutral · AI labelView post →Knowing the Intended Ending I prefer that one. That Said this is my Favorite Film Adaptation of a Stage Musical, Period. I will ALWAYS love this movie. Absolute Masterpiece. Also, I covered it on Sunday for my ongoing HorrorWatch(both because its one of my faves, and 40th Anniversary)
positive · AI labelView post →Saw the South Korean monster movie Hope at the cinema. It is fun but I should warn you that for a nearly three hour movie the, err, hope was it would/will be the start of a trilogy. Knowing that going in will set your expectations for the ending.

neutral · AI labelView post →#WritersCoffeeClub Oct 3. How do you feel about spoilers? Knowing how a book or movie ends just makes me curious about how that destination will be reached. In fact sometimes a spoiler enhances my enjoyment of the book or film.

neutral · AI labelView post →Knowing "those" Star Wars fans, they'll probably think Elon is right and will casually tell him to make an AI movie of Anakin getting to be said Emperor. And then lie with a solid face saying it's better all of the films Disney put out.
neutral · AI labelView post →The film leaves you in those woods with the noises, the arguing and that fucking helplessness. Knowing the mythology makes every little thing worse. By the time Mike's standing in that corner, my stomach's already dropped. That ending will forever get under my skin. The dread never wears off for me.

neutral · AI labelView post →In case you wanted to prepare for the horror story called Jared Kushner start here. This is an excellent movie on the story of Jamal Khashoggi. Knowing Jared was purportedly involved makes the story even MORE vile. Khashoggi was very proud of his heritage & country.

positive · AI labelView post →Also the Rescuers, only I would have been about 1.5 because it came out in June 1977. Knowing my family, we would have gone to see this at the old Town Twin Movie Theater in Levittown, PA where my mom and her sisters went to see every movie when she was a kid, and then took me and my cousins there.
