Haven’t seen this movie but I want to cuz it looks damn sexy
LITERALLY IN MY MOUTH
I did really love Spielberg’s comment upon presenting the Best Picture winner. When we look back at 2010 in film, it’s unlikely we’ll think of The King’s Speech. We’ll think of those other films that didn’t win - The Social Network, Inception, Black Swan, Toy Story 3, take your pick.

Our Psycho/10 Cloverfield Lane discussion brings the newer film into the picture, grappling with how the Dan Trachtenberg-directed/JJ Abrams-produced psuedo-sequel echoes Hitchcock’s film both deliberately and not. We’ll talk over how the two films approach fear the the unknown, highlight their unusual sound design and marketing, and determine whether 10 Cloverfield Lane falls into the grand tradition of “the gearshift movie.” Plus, Your Next Picture show, where we share recent filmgoing experiences in hopes of putting something new on your cinematic radar.
Please share your comments, thoughts, and questions about Psycho, 10 Cloverfield Lane, or both by sending an email to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.
Up until about last year, I’d been pretty averse to horror movies - I guess I didn’t really see the point. Paranormal Activity was the movie that got me over it; it had the right amount of shocks to give me a good experience, but nothing that was really lastingly disturbing, which I think is what makes for a strong type of horror movie.
According to this review (which is, admittedly, the only one I’ve read for this movie yet), though, this is much more of a thriller dealing with issues of skepticism and faith (sounds a bit like Doubt meets the Exorcist, with some small amount of Blair Witch mockumentary shaky cam, maybe), which piques my interest, being an atheist/anti-theist/secular humanist. It’s out now, and has a Rotten Tomatoes of 72 and Metacritic of 63, so, being without any new movies to see (other than Scott Pilgrim and Machete), I’ll give it a try soon.

Hey critics all these Llewyn Davis and Her articles would be great and would get a bigger response IF THE MOVIE HAD SEEN WIDE RELEASE YET AND WASN’T JUST IN NEW YORK AND LA FOR LIKE A WEEK SO THEY CAN QUALIFY FOR THE 2013 OSCARS
This is a 2 minute promo for what is apparently just an HBO short film, but what I really wish could become a full-fledged series, telling the story of a homeless man who is struggling to pursue his dream of becoming a championship boxer, scrounging for change and cash for training, and his steady rise. A point raised by Warming Glow - why do people who make boxing shows and movies (outside of HBO) always make them about Boston Irish guys? It seems like these days there are far more black and Hispanic boxers (from my limited exposure).

I had not seen this video before, thank you for sharing. It’s great.
I’m straight and I think this is a very attractive man.
On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the premiere of GoodFellas, GQ has a great article to try and recreate the story of the making of the film, composed entirely of the transcripts of a group interview with the cast and crew. Everyone involved, even tangentially, has a say. Really interesting to see everyone’s take on everything, and funny to see the nods to the Sopranos.
