My Reaction to seeing this tweet!

10/10, existential crisis but in a good way.

Made sure to hide the synopsis, in case anyone is interested in seeing this short. Has anyone here seen it? If so, is it worth the watch?

I always remembered it saying

"I tell you why your movie sucks."

Now it says

"Movies are great if you know where to look."

Has Adum commented on this? when was this change made? and do you see this as a new push for Adum to be more positive in his reviews?

I know the "controversy" around Adam not finishing movies was years ago now, but since RLM admitted to not finishing the Minecraft movie I feel like I should share this.

I studied film in college, and the lecturers (people with PhDs in film) were very open about not finishing films. When making short films, they told us to have something interesting happen in the first 15 minutes because film festival staff won't watch the entire film if they think it's a waste of time.

I volunteered at a film festival and had countless submissions to watch through. I was ACTIVELY ENCOURANGED to not waste my time watching a submission to completion if it wasn't good enough for the festival. They wanted you to get through as many worthy submissions as possible. Not finishing films when you have a few dozen to get through is standard practice in the industry.

Like if something has loads of plot holes is it not objectivly poorly written?

I don't care that much watching silly movies since it's fun in a "so bad it's good" way. But this particular had a lot of scenes with those uncanny valley villagers.

They were supposedly friendly or goofy, but they were pure creepy in an unintentional way.

In a world where guys like Vin Diesel, Jason Statham, and Dwayne Johnson put clauses in their contracts that they can’t lose a fight onscreen and shit like that…

Jason Momoa does Minecraft where he wears a frilly pink jacket, is a huge loser, does gay coded stuff with Jack Black, and gets his fucking ass kicked the entire movie.

John Cena gets freaky in Peacemaker and silly as fuck in Ricky Stanicky (not a great one but he was a hoot)

I truly believe guys like Momoa and Cena will stand the test of time in a way that the other tough action guys won’t because their confidence transcends the limits of masculine bravado.

They will get a little fruity with it, and that’s why they’ll continue to be huge successes who the critics love, too. Every review of Minecraft shouts out how game Momoa was. Stupid movie, but the energy from Momoa and Jack Black was hard to hate.

Hey all. (I would have posted this in the Jodorowsky subreddit, but you need to request to post there, and it's taking a while for me to get a response).

So I have two versions of "El Topo." The 4k restoration at 1.85, and another with the open matte of 1.37:1. Which would you recommend I watch? I like seeing as much of the frame as I can, but if the 4k restoration is more of the definitive version, should I choose that?
