The deadline for submitting nominations is coming up at the end of this week.

Lindsay Lohan? 😬

...if I’m remembering correctly, that blonde girl he’s eyeing is Lindsay Lohan 😬

Better late than never, I guess.

About a year ago, he mentioned in an interview that he probably only had about seven years left in him, at most.
It looks like he might have been spot on, because—if you listen to the rumors swirling around—his health has taken a real turn for the worse (apparently, Paul Thomas Anderson was actually stepping in to help him out on his last film set).

It’s such a shame, really, because the man is a true legend. He was basically the godfather of all those Hollywood mavericks.
He was this incredibly self-assured iconoclast whose biggest flaws were somehow also his greatest strengths. Honestly, he was so one-of-a-kind that if he hadn't existed, we'd probably have to invent someone just like him.

vividharbor38 said:What I absolutely love about Logan's Run and movies from that era is that specific vintage sci-fi vibe they have going on—all those tactile buttons, the Moog synthesizers, the set design, the cinematography, and those distinct colors...

...you know, all that quasi-futuristic cellophane clothing and those pulsing crystals making those rhythmic "pew-pew-pew" sounds. 😁

Just a little something to feed those late-night paranoia cravings of yours:

If everything goes according to plan, Paramount might actually claw back nearly two-thirds of what they shelled out to pick up DreamWorks SKG in the first place. According to a report from The New York Times this Monday, there’s a deal on the table to sell off the DreamWorks library—which includes 59 different titles—to a private equity group led by George Soros. It’s a pretty massive move, especially considering Paramount originally dropped $1.6 billion in cash plus a whole lot of assumed debt just to bring DreamWorks into the fold, but now they're reportedly looking to pull in about $1 billion just for that library.

😁

It’s actually been available in video rental stores for quite a while now.

Every time I head over to Artnet, the very first headlines that jump out at me are... It feels like Katie Holmes is really leaning into her role as a dedicated, hands-on mom lately, and honestly, I think it’s beautiful to see her embracing that side of herself so fully. i I honestly think a little bit of alcohol might actually be doing Matt Damon some favors..
😕

Gregory Garcia said:Look, am I really the only one who felt like that whole situation was basically just sexual coercion? Everyone else seems to think it's totally fine and is actually helping promote that kind of thing.

Just let Release Crofag write whatever nonsense they want...

Let’s try to keep the discussion at a decent level here. If you find yourself disagreeing with someone, please take a moment to actually explain your reasoning instead of just being dismissive. Rather than just quoting a post, maybe try something like, "wow, what a tragic little interpretation you've got there," and then seal the deal with a 🤮 smile—which, as many people on this forum tend to think, is the ultimate sign of a well-articulated point backed by solid arguments.

Gregory Garcia said:It’s pretty obvious just how much they were both getting into it from that next shot where you see her back.

I didn't really get the impression that she was being forced into anything either. Sure, things start off feeling a little tense when he has his hand on her neck, but it definitely doesn't come across as sexual assault.

Those bruises on their backs are actually real, because they weren't able to use any soft padding on the stairs during the shoot.

casualotter21 said:I hear you. I really don't want to be the guy who kills the mood here, but how certain are we actually going to see any of these movies made? Or are we just looking at more IMDb pages claiming they're in "pre-production"...

...or even better, just "announced."

How long has 'Logan's Run' been considered such a cult classic?

I mean, since when was 'Logan's Run' actually a good old movie?

Jose Chase2 said:I’m totally on board with this, though I might swap out Boogie Nights for Magnolia instead.🙏 🙏 🙏

I can't help but feel like *Magnolia* has been somewhat overlooked lately, almost as if it’s slipped from our collective consciousness.
That’s exactly why I feel that way. I’ve been spending some time lately revisiting *Punch-Drunk Love*, and I have to say, it really hits different every single time you sit down with it. There is just something about the way Paul Thomas Anderson captures that specific, frantic kind of loneliness—that feeling of being completely out of sync with the rest of the world—that feels so incredibly raw and human. It’s one of those movies where you can almost feel the character's anxiety vibrating through the screen, yet somehow, it remains so deeply tender. I always find myself reflecting on how much heart goes into a story like this; it’s not just a quirky romance, but a beautiful, messy look at finding your footing when everything feels chaotic. Honestly, I don't think I'll ever quite get over how much I love it. It was truly an incredible experience—maybe because I found myself seeing my own reflection in that character's journey. Either way, just sitting there and watching... Montauk It was honestly such an unforgettable experience for me.

Hey man, is there any way I can get ahold of you personally right now, since private messages seem to be totally broken?

Hey, just a heads-up—when you're crunching the numbers on revenue and expenses, don't forget to account for distributors, taxes, and all those little extra costs.

Disney Animation has officially gone public. If I’m remembering correctly, that means they’ve transitioned into a publicly traded corporation, which implies that if you pick up enough shares, you actually get a say in how the company is run.

Plus, through this specific deal, Paramount Pictures has secured the rights to distribute Disney Animationist films both here in the States and internationally (though they'll be sharing that space with Universal Pictures, who already had those rights locked in).

The Island was honestly just a bit much for me.

I honestly don't see Lucas getting down for those kinds of wild adventures. He already went through his own version of hell dealing with Coppola and those whole hippie vibes over at Zoetrope.
That’s probably why he’s turned out to be such an eccentric loner today.

It was honestly pretty much expected.
I’m sitting here torn between laughing and crying when I think back to those massive ambitions they had right out of the gate—you know, back during the early PlayVista days and all that—and how they slowly had to scale everything back until they just ended up being another run-of-the-mill film studio.
Their one stroke of luck was when Walt Disney Animation Studios went public on the stock market, but even that didn't last very long. The SEC ended up poking around their books once they realized they were essentially window-dressing their financial statements to look better than they actually were.

Spielberg definitely learned his lesson: there is a huge difference between being a brilliant director and actually knowing how to run a major studio.

shadowgardener12 said:If we're talking about a location with sacred value, then showing some basic decency and tolerance toward that is pretty much the bare minimum.

I mean, honestly... talking about Hollywood... it's just a bunch of trash on top of more trash.

But what exactly makes you think they didn't treat the site with any respect? Is it just because they touched it with those greasy little Hollywood hands of theirs?

Careful now, don't go overdoing it with all that Christian tolerance and grace.
