I'm really looking forward to that Will Smith movie about the NFL's denial of concussions. It's set to open around Christmas and will be timed nicely with the end of the regular season and the start of the playoffs. I hope the movie brings more attention to the NFL's shitty, almost inhuman stance on CTE and the NFL and its owners lose billions in settlements. If a government organization did the same thing the America public would be outraged, but we're talking about football here. America, fuck yeah!

Maybe there never was and never will be a cinematic "golden age."

Is it possible for a filmmaker to be aggressively mediocre?

After watching that piece of crap Adul Beginners i realize americans have lost their touch in indie comedies. They invented that genre and now pretty much every movie feels the same. And i hate the fact that they are so formulaic as " a few nice songs, some punk band from the 80 for the soundtrack, a weird actor doing a dramatic role, and an old actor doing the comeback"

im looking at you, skeleton twins, adult beginners and wish i was here.

Well the duplass, joe swamberg and Noah baumbach are still doing good work...but the others? my god. I wanted to punch everyone involved in AB because of how fake they were. It was like a parody of an indie movie.

And the skeleton twins was worst, because they seem to think they were doing " a deep movie, man".
