Marcia Lucas played a pivotal role as editor on her then husband George Lucas’ film AMERICAN GRAFFITI. She was a game-changing pioneer. The film was so successful it led to her being the editor on Martin Scorsese’s ALICE DOESN’T LIVE HERE ANYMORE. #RIPMarciaLucas

#TheLastGuestOfTheHollowayMotel is a poignant portrait of a fallible hero’s redemptive journey. A heartrending documentary centered on family, forgiveness, self-acceptance, chapter ends & new beginnings. It’ll break your heart & piece it back up again. A must-see at @lumierecinemala.bsky.social

Kylie Minogue’s doc series KYLIE on #Netflix shows the world her towering stage presence & indomitable spirit. She discusses how music saved her in dark times & seeing her rediscover her lyrics to “No More Rain” (her song that got me through my mom’s death) had me sobbing. 💙

Snoopy gesturing “f u” like 5xs in a road rage incident has me crying laughing.

Ludwig Göransson’s #TheMandalorianAndGrogu score is a banger, specifically “Shakari” which had me like this when the music cue happened. đŸ”„

Christopher Nolan is a new dog owner and that’s what helped him decide to make #TheOdysseyMovie/ #TheOdyssey. “[Argos’ story] is really one of the greatest moments. It’s really one of the things that hooked me
 It’s the ultimate dog story.”

The new trailer for Christopher Nolan’s #TheOdyssey/ #TheOdysseyMovie is out - and it’s Robert Pattinson heavy (complimentary!). It’s a beaut!

Had *the best* time speaking with genius cinematographer Linus Sandgren today about crafting #WutheringHeightsMovie / #WutheringHeights’ emotions through lighting & how he turned a bright, windy day into a misty, foggy one. He’s AWESOME!

There can be only one person who can top Cybill Shepherd in her performance as Martha Stewart in MARTHA INC., reenacting this particular life moment - and that person is Cate Blanchett.

Just let out Godzilla-sized roar seeing the #GodzillaMinusZero (Godzilla Takes New York? 😉) footage that debuted at #CinemaCon.

Pressed play at midnight on #SendHelp/ #SendHelpMovie’s commentary track with director Sam Raimi & producer Zainab Azizi. It’s fantastic! Here’s a snippet where Sam talks about trying to do the roast bananas trick at home (sorry for the noise of our mantel clock). 😂

Andrew Lloyd Webber hated CATS: THE MOVIE so much, he ran out and got a dog. He jokes in this interview (chatting about his approval of Cats: The Jellicle Ball) that he lists his dog as a therapy dog and when airlines inquire, he says it’s because of the bad adaptation.

Jamie Dornan is hosting #SNLuk tonight, which signals my cue to drop “Edgar’s Prayer” onto the timeline. Nobody else could’ve sold the insanity, ludicrousness and absurdity of BARB AND STAR GO TO VISTA DEL MAR like he did.

Lionel Boyce is excellent in #ProjectHailMary. I would watch 30 minutes more of him and Ryan Gosling goofing around at Home Depot (send me the dailies, plz!). Turns out, directors Phil Lord and @chrizmillr.bsky.social loved that sequence too.
