I just got done rewatching the 1975 film/musical "Tommy" starring Ann Margaret, Oliver Reed, The Who and every musician under the sun at that time.
Still amazing. Still weird. Still clever.
Tina Turner is, now and forever, the Acid Queen.
It's the story of how we elevate celebrities to the status of religious figures. How we get caught up in the cult of celebrity, and how we just grasp and hang on to almost anything in the search for answers, healing, and redemption.
Of all the tracks, this one has to be my favorite, and still very relevant.
"These pricy gips don't teach us!
Your freedom doesn't reach us!
Enlightenment escapes us!
Awareness doesn't shape us!
How can all this trvia
Take us to the goal you reached?
We came here to be like you,
To find the world you've reached...!"

2025 - ein Boomjahr für Horror-Filme
Horrorfilme waren in diesem Jahr besonders beliebt - und zeigten eine große Bandbreite. Wieso ist dieses Film-Genre wieder so relevant? Und was sagt das über unsere Gegenwart aus? Von Caroline O. Jebens.

Trop marre de découvrir toujours après coup des festivals et évènements cools auquel j'aurais aimé participer 😭
Quelqu'un·e connait un moyen de regarder en ligne les films du Festival du Cinéma Japonais Contemporain en France ??? Je suis trop triste d'avoir appris ça hier, les 3/4 des films de la sélection me donnent envie 😭

I'm in the hospital waiting for a scan, entertain me, give me your favorite knockoff characters/media/games where it's clear they wanted to do X but don't have the rights to X but they barely try to hide it (not something that started out as one thing but changed into something else)

This was a really sweet movie. Like a 1940s romantic comedy set in the present time. The cast was great too. Highly recommend.
This year, anime’s global boom brought record profits and more Hollywood interest but also renewed anxiety over AI and creative labor. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2025/12/26/film/anime-demon-slayer-gundam/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #culture #film #anime #demonslayer #japanesefilm #chainsawman #2025inreview

Orbene, ieri finalmente ho visto il Frankestein di Del Toro!
Bello? Bello, assolutamente, con un Oscar Isaac davvero fantastico e probabilmente quanto di più di fedele al romanzo si sia mai visto in un adattamento cinematografico.
Personalmente resto un po' freddino per due motivi tutti miei:
1. C'è qualcosa nell'estetica e della messa in scena che non mi convince mai del tutto con i film di Del Toro. Forse è la CGI o boh, ma visivamente ho sempre la sensazione del "bel farlocco" (problema mio eh)
2. Il romanzo di Mary Shelley è un tale capolavoro che rappresenta un bel macigno con cui confrontarsi (ma davvero, tanti applausi per lo sforzo: non pensavo avrei mai visto tutta la parte del fienile con la "crescita" della creatura)
ma aldilà di tutto, una meravigliosa storia senza tempo raccontata molto bene nell'arco di un paio d'ore: e oh, di sti tempi mi pare oro colato

Genre-hopping anime adventure “Whoever Steals This Book” is visually inventive and easy to watch, even if the finer plot details fade fast. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2025/12/25/film/whoever-steals-this-book/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #culture #film #japanesefilm #anime #kagokan #keikokurosawa
