neutral · AI labelView post →Wake Up Dead Man is a very good time but even on a movie screen it has that unfortunate Netflix look. And then, even on a TV, The Master looks like no other movie I've ever seen.
positive · AI labelView post →Someday I will revisit Dana Carvey’s movie The Master of Disguise, which I saw in theaters when I was twelve and was how I learned that movies could be bad

neutral · AI labelView post →Paul Thomas Anderson pleading apolitical considering There Will Be Blood, The Master and the film he’s currently touring the awards circuit with, is one of the most artistically dishonest things I’ve seen from a living filmmaker. It’s honestly made me lose respect for him.
neutral · AI labelView post →The Master is a movie about what happens when two opposite types of alcoholics try to hang together. Tom Cruise doesn't drink and probably finds it very affirming. The Scientology allegory is not significant to the story.
neutral · AI labelView post →I've been thinking a lot about the upcoming Legend of Zelda movie and what I hope to see. - Link finding the Master Sword, not already having it. - The Triforce! BotW and TotK didn't include it, but it's one of my favorite parts of Zelda lore. What do you 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 hope to see in the Zelda film?

positive · AI labelView post →Cheers to my favorite director, Alfred Hitchcock, born on this day in 1899. Impossible to say how many hours I’ve spent watching his films. It’s a better world for film lovers because of the Master of Suspense. #FilmSky #Hitchcock
