    Roger Ebert’s Review: ""Dead Poets Society" is a collection of pious platitudes masquerading as a courageous stand in favor of something: doing your own thing, I think. It's about an inspirational, unconventional English teacher and his students at "the best prep school in America" and how he challenges them to question conventional views by such techniques as standing on their desks. It is, of course, inevitable that the brilliant teacher will eventually be fired from the school, and when his students stood on their desks to protest his dismissal, I was so moved, I wanted to throw up."

     

    bwahahaha go off king.

    Another film that only I voted for, this one I saw specifically for this list. It looked interesting enough from the description, but I was still surprised about how much I loved this. Also a 90's film that feels more topical than ever.

     

    It's a fantastic movie, and I miss this Alexander Payne. I'd have voted for it but I excluded the output of Miramax and 20th Century.

    Paul Thomas Anderson has rounded out the cast of his latest feature. Alana Haim, who made her acting debut in Anderson’s Licorice Pizza, and A Thousand and One break-out Teyana Taylor have been added to the cast, along with Wood Harris and Shayna McHayle.

     

    Newcomer Chase Infiniti has also joined the untitled feature, which is currently in production and, as previously announced, stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn and Regina Hall. The plot of the film is being kept under wraps.

     Warner Bros has Paul Thomas Anderson set to direct Oscar winners Leonardo DiCaprio & Sean Penn and Oscar host Regina Hall in an untitled film that will begin production January 21 in California. Anderson wrote the script, and he will produce the film with Sara Murphy.

     

    The film is currently untitled and they’re keeping the logline under wraps. We have learned that it is a contemporary setting and it is the most commercial one that PTA has attempted, with commensurate budget. It came out of a relationship that Warner Bros Picture Group co-chair/CEOs Michael De Luca and Pam Abdy built making PTA’s last film, Licorice Pizza, while they ran MGM. That film got three Oscar noms for Best Picture, and Best Screenplay and Best Director for PTA. While DiCaprio, Penn and Hall are the leads, the new film will have a big ensemble cast that is still falling into place.

    Since October, her video punctuated by the song Comme des Garçons by Rina Sawayama ("a song regularly used to make videos like this", she specifies) has been viewed more than a million times on X and inspired similar ones on TikTok.

     

    It's not too late for TikTok to work its Anyone But You magic on this yet. Let's put Swann Arlaud's hair back into wide release.

    Why would it fall faster than TLJ? That movie had some pretty bad holiday legs. Aquaman has mixed WOM but it's much smaller OW should allow it to have better legs than TLJ imo.

     

    Much lower PTAs would be an excuse for theaters to drop it faster once January rolls around and its grosses go into a freefall.

    Are they going to delay this to later in the year? This supposedly had a date so thar generic 2024 worries me a bit...

     

    Films looks awesome, I cannot wait for this.

     

    Word is they want to take it to Cannes like Miller's last two films so it shouldn't take too long after that to be released. May 31 or June 7 would work fine for it.
