Always wonderful
@ssrajamouli
coming down the aisle to another standing ovation and chants of "SSR! SSR!" ๐ โจ
Nothing but love for
@tarak9999
and
@AlwaysRamCharan
after my 9th screening of the year's best movie! ๐งก
Oh man, MAGADHEERA was so much fun. Rajamouli has clearly only improved since making it but all the pieces of what he still does are already present in it. And
@AlwaysRamCharan
what a star! Can't wait for the rest on Sunday!
I have never heard a bigger crowd laugh in a theater in my LIFE than the one for the scene just before intermission for EEGA. I loved it SO much, totally understand why
@ssrajamouli
considers it his favorite film he's made. A blast with a crowd. Can't wait for both Baahubalis!
What an overwhelmingly happy response to screening of
#RRR
at the Ace Hotel!
Receiving a standing ovation from you all will be etched in my memory forever!! ๐๐ผโค๏ธโค๏ธ
Thank you all so much
@ssrajamouli
@mmkeeravaani
@DOPSenthilKumar
@ssk1122
@tvaziri
I remember him getting shit for that lawsuit back in the day (and it drove a rift for a while between him and Carter, who took it personally), but that set an important precedent for actors back then. Not at all surprised to see him out on the lines now
Totally understand how MAGADHEERA made
@AlwaysRamCharan
into a big star. Incredible dancing, great chemistry with
@MsKajalAggarwal
, impressive mix of historical action epic and modern rom-com acting challenges. Also, jfc, just an insanely beautiful man, lbr
@radleybalko
Incredible how it seems all police know how to do in literally every situation is escalate it to make it worse than it ever had any reason to be.
@Srirachachau
Cracks me up that he had to make a pit stop to shake hands with the Italian PM while in town because he's essentially the US ambassador of movies, not even really an exaggeration at this point
@TamikaVST
@victoriaxxviii
Thank you. Not all of us are lucky enough to just be able to wash our face with whatever basic soap and just slap on some sunscreen and be good to go!
@ellle_em
Aside from EVERY OTHER THING that is absolutely horrifying about this ๐คฌ what is it with the number of men in these cursed things I see using that phrase in regard to a woman's behavior: "I do not tolerate." It's legit become a red flag to me, reads like they're scolding a child
@zaharaesque
Orson talked some of the finest shit about Hollywood and I've always loved that about him. I love many, many things about him and still consider him to be strangely unappreciated for all he managed to do during such a turbulent career, but I especially love his shit talking.
@b76558369
@MrEAnders
Speaking as a former criminologist who knows from actual experience how this all works: stop pretending you know what you're talking about. You're wrong.
@jailedamanda
I'm pretty sure back in college when I had to read the entire state vehicle code I learned that the number one cause of accidents and traffic is unnecessary braking, and I'm pretty confident that's still true. I also think about this scene all the time, driving in LA, lmao
@justbrizigs
It also back ends one of the most brutal fight scenes in any comic book movie, which I think makes it hit harder, because everything leading up to it is painful and horrific
Update: unsurprisingly, BAAHUBALI 1 and 2 also absolutely ruled ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
Also, I didn't get a photo with him or anything, but Rajamouli held my arm and thanked me for coming ๐ฅฒ
@KevinTCraig
These are by Phil Shaw. Saw some of his great work at the LA Art Show back in early February. These were a few favorites I photographed at the time!
@robotronica
@AnnaScottJourno
It's about to be 90+ degrees out, too, which as I'm sure you know is the ideal temperature point to be hanging around on the asphalt!
@BreeNewsome
Most dangerous gang in America, and only one of so many just in this city alone. As soon as I read about them stealing the security cameras, I just KNEW it was one going to be one of these. Ugh. People who think police reform is possible are buried so far in the sand it's insane.
So happy for
@mmkeeravaani
and the
@RRRMovie
crew tonight. Makes getting to see them all so excited to be acknowledged in Hollywood last night even sweeter.
Can't forget this one. Friend of my dad's, who's a firefighter, was shot in the foot that night. Stuck around to help but wouldn't get treated there because the Vegas hospitals were overwhelmed. Drove home to San Diego with a bleeding foot instead. Incredible
@Garebear__11
@justbrizigs
Just rewatched last night and not only that, it's genuinely bloody. I know that's got to be thanks to Raimi's horror roots, because so many of these things are so sexless AND bloodless, there's no stakes for anything. Peter is like, spitting up blood by the end. Brutal
@Vyndsen
I'm still stuck on Molly throwing the "liar" bit in there, cause I can only see that as some huge projecting on her part. I actually did a full rewatch just before this season started, and Molly lies ALL THE TIME about her feelings! To everyone! Friends, guys, her own therapist!!
@juniperinlatin
@ellle_em
Often one of the biggest tells anyone makes on themselves is how they respond to "no," and this whole situation is one of the worst and most insane ones I've seen in a long time, holy shit
@LaBeautyologist
Also, I've never been comfortable with the idea that all skincare conveniently falls under the umbrella of "cosmetic" services. So many of my skin issues cause me daily discomfort, and getting rid of that is a life quality improvement! It's not about vanity!
@MakeupForWOC
Okay I'm genuinely confused, between you and Nai trying pretty hard to give her very obviously professional advice... Why keep ignoring it?? I don't get it!
@ellle_em
I enjoyed this character design exactly once, back for Rapunzel in Tangled, and I've been sick of every obvious recycling of it since, ugh (but I'm one of the people who really, really doesn't care for Frozen at all, which probably doesn't help, either)
@ellle_em
I just saw that exchange and like, my mind is boggled? I cannot blame you for not wanting to engage further with that view because, uh..... What in the god damn illogical hell
@teejandahalf
@VictoryLapse
@benkling
Speaking as both a photographer and an indie publisher, this shit drives me BONKERS.
I didn't go to school for design or anything, but even I know how easy it is to fix horrendous gutter layout issues like these. These A24 books are hilariously poorly done, I'm stunned!
@ecto_fun
I think all the time about her delivery in Beetlejuice of "If you don't allow me to gut out this house and make it my own, I will go insane, and I WILL TAKE YOU WITH ME!!"
@jourdayen
There are gags from that show that have never left my brain, seriously. The one where they do the whole Dynasty dream sequence??
The one where she eats a ton of wasabi after CC tells her it's "Japanese mustard," and briefly starts speaking in her own voice?? Kills me, always
@FilmThePoliceLA
Oh my god, when I still could stomach having that thing installed, the comments made me want to quit life. So much racism and wailing about all this nonexistent crime being reported and trashing the city. It's the worst.
@madstweeets
@onbrandbrandonn
There are a lot of animated films I loved as a young kid despite also being freaked out by them (Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, The Last Unicorn, Secret of NIMH, etc.) because I loved (and still love) animation.
The only one I've NEVER been able to revisit is The Brave Little Toaster
Wore my
@Ruckingfotten
Reservoir Dogs shirt to my first trip back to LA's best theater
@newbeverly
, finding our assigned seats for the Dracula's Daughter/The Hunger double, I hear a guy behind me say, "Hey, cool shirt!" and who should be sitting there but Mr Tarantino himself ๐
Watched from day one! Begged folks for 2+ years to watch just to be able to discuss. Got to visit the set for a week while they shot S3 and ended up getting put in the background by
@TomSchnauz
, which was a lot of fun. Still have my photo of the RV they crushed while I was there.
tfw you are thrown from a helicopter + experience a 90 min flashback to your past life as a warrior in an ancient kingdom caught in the same love triangle that got you thrown out of a helicopter 400 years later...

@ChoirNerd2121
@SheRatesDogs
The only thing I've ever had an account suspended over was literally just writing "men are trash" within a longer post, before Nazi shit and outright racism and sexism run rampant. But what about the men's poor feelings???? ๐
This March we celebrate Women in Film with a showcase of talent in front of and behind the camera, pay tribute to legendary costume designer Edith Head, highlight superstars Michelle Yeoh & Pam Grier, and much, much more! Please RT & let us know what you're most excited to see!
Just got started this summer, without even knowing my skin type going in! All thanks to the very generous advice of
@MakeupForWOC

@LaBeautyologist

I've been struggling with/hating my skin for 20+ years... And this glow up is from only 4 months of progress! I'm blown away.
Don't know why they won't
#shutdownLA
but watching all these people hanging out at fucking Starbucks like everything is fine while feeling incredibly uncomfortable being at work makes me feel like I'm losing my goddamn mind
Yeah, a lot of movies opened bigger than Maverick last year, that's not particularly noteworthy in itself. Maverick's record, industry saving success was about how LONG it was successful, not its first weekend lol, come on now, what is even the point of this whack ass comparison
Can we stop saying โGreta Gerwig scores biggest opening wkend ever for female directorโ and start saying Greta Gerwig scores bigger opening weekend than any man this year - and most other years too. Itโs the 24th highest opening in HISTORY. Itโs bigger than TOP GUN MFING MAVERICK

If you screen
@RRRMovie
again in LA, trust me, people will still come! I still know like half a dozen people who either still want to see it or want to see it again, not even joking ๐ฅ
Dammit,
@mattzollerseitz
you've got me in full-on animation brain mode, now I'm just wanting to hunt down any gifs I can find of favorite moments. May need to just make to a loose thread...
Again, Ariel's extremely expressive face was THE beginning of my love of animation, 1989.
@NessyAustin
@MakeupForWOC
This is for the face, but they have a great body wash that has done absolute wonders for me! The body lotion the second picture has also been super helpful.
To give y'all an idea of how hard
#RRRMovie
rocks, I'm just as excited to see it again, for the 3rd time, in a couple weeks, as I am to see Top Gun: Maverick for the first time on Tuesday. And I'm really fucking pumped for Top Gun! You've got one more shot at the

, GO!!
@judysquirrels
The term "cartoonish" has always struck me as especially vile because not only is it total dismissal of reality, like you explain here, but it also implies the person saying this finds something about it funny. Something being obviously evil is many things, but it's not funny.
The man himself,

@Srirachachau
How is that not just a universally accepted DO NOT EVER DO THIS rule of etiquette at this point?? Someone at an old job of mine literally got fired for doing this once, people, just don't! Apart from it being poor form, there are legal reasons that thing will never get read.
@SydneyBattle
@judysquirrels
Meeting him recently just made my entire life in a way because of this very thing, let me tell you (he is also a complete sweetheart of a man in person, which just justifies this whole Thing)
@skeletonportkey
@RaxKingIsDead
Ugh, I believe it. My last job was a local mom & pop w/half a dozen staff, which in reality meant the manager went on about 6 trips all over the place every year and always left me to do his job for him. Like, I'm not the assistant manager & you definitely don't pay me for this!
Fire Walk With Me, The Brood, Bad Lieutenant, Airheads, Wayne's World, Sugar & Spice, Ghost World, The Thing, Ferrara's Body Snatchers... Looks like another killer month ๐ฅ
@stbaumer
@ImTedRoosevelt
@taraghuveer
I never suggested they are. I just think the commodification of housing should not continue. And if you make the choice to rent out property you inherited, that is a choice with risk, that the market will either bear or it won't. My issue is with the market itself.
@stbaumer
@ImTedRoosevelt
@taraghuveer
We don't disagree on any of this, though. As I already said, I'm all for extending a safety net that protects both. But putting the brunt of the blame on renters isn't the answer, either. In the specific examples you cite, both parties are victims of the same larger issue.
@WizardofJ
@GailSimone
An old law professor of mine used to do this! If we had time to kill he'd throw on an episode and give points out to anyone pointing out all the glaring errors in it, lol
@Megancmille
@laurdelle
My favorite ice cream truck in LA went viral for publicly refusing to do this. It's run by one guy who has 4 kids to provide for, and he now charges influencers double if they ask for comps in exchange for "exposure." I love it. Celebrities definitely don't deserve shit for free!
@a_lewi_
@elknight20
@becca_oneal
Really glad to see this mentioned! As a teenager one literally swam all the way in from THE MIDDLE OF A HUGE LAKE and got out just to chase me. By the way, they are HUGE when not in the water. Totally thought that thing was going to fuck me up if it caught up to me ๐
@BeyondFest
@ssrajamouli
@am_cinematheque
How did this not immediately sell out? So, so psyched for this, especially for EEGA, which I never thought I'd get to see on a big screen!
Austin Powers! Scarface! Tron: Legacy! Jaws! But how am I the first one to mention how psyched I am that someone is finally screening MINORITY REPORT!?
Whatโs on tap for July? Watch our calendar mash-up to get some clues! How many films can you spot? As always, on point editing by our very own

Shockingly little in forensics qualifies as what should be considered reliable science, and I wish way more people knew this. You wouldn't believe the stuff I learned when training in criminology that I was just expected to be blindly okay with (which is why I left the field)

That's what people have been calling for this whole time, though? Cancel rent, cancel mortgage, weather this crisis, then for fucks sake, create a better housing situation than the one we've got, because it ain't working for anyone who isn't rich.

They also bought a legendary movie palace in Hollywood, tore up its front walkway, tore out the balcony seating, and are now just sitting on it, closed, during its centennial year. Fucking bleak.

Holy FUCK, SPEED RACER on 35mm was mind blowing. My cheeks hurt from smiling! Emile Hirsch showed up just to see it on the big screen again, and I understand!! Applause for several great moments! Man that was so worth the wait. Wachowskis, man. They rule. Thank you

@greenhousenyt

Still remember them claiming they were shutting down the one on Hollywood and Vine because it wasn't busy enough (on one of the busiest corners in all of LA; it was ALWAYS busy), right after installing a new pickup window. We all knew it was union busting!

I read a few months back about a woman who had lost her son to it and yet didn't budge one inch in her conspiracy theorizing, and that's probably the point where I realized we're definitely all screwed

Exact same length of voting history and ballot choices.

Any licensed esthetician can tell you that's completely untrue, but okay
Doesn't matter what's in it, anything that pulls sebaceous elements from your skin (which are good for your) causes overproduction of oil, more clogging than before, and destroys your skin barrier ๐๐
