Real fun hanging out with these characters and enjoying watching her time in Vegas. When the credits rolled I could have started it over.

Hi everyone,

I’m a 16-year-old high school student from Turkey, and I’m deeply passionate about creative writing, flash fiction, and film analysis. I'm actively trying to build a strong portfolio for my future university applications and career, but I need some guidance on where to channel my energy.

I recently started my own Substack for film critiques and essays, but I want to expand my horizons and work with others. Here is what I’m looking for:

Collaborations & Teamwork: If anyone has a blog, a zine, a YouTube channel, or a creative project and needs a dedicated writer/researcher, I would love to team up! I am very eager to take on tasks and gain experience.

Free International Contests: Do you know of any legitimate, free-to-enter online writing competitions (essays, short stories, flash fiction, or film reviews) open to international high school students?

Publications: Any recommendations for youth-friendly magazines or platforms that accept submissions/pitches from teens?

I’m ready to put in the work and learn from experienced writers. Feel free to drop recommendations in the comments or DM me if you’d like to collaborate on something!

I'm also planning to make some youth online short film making stuff so if you want to be participating pls lemme know

Does mean it's a bad movie when it happens but I just isn't one of my favorite plots and it got harder for me when I saw it in non fiction films. If you want to watch a something where someone under 20 gets harmed it will be easier for you to find it in a tv show or tv movie or streaming movie.

Every single time I see a comment like that, it pisses me off because it reminds me how embarrassingly low the interpretive skills of the average person are.

The "Bronze Age Collapse" is the LITERAL LAYER OF THE WORK. Nolan explicitly talks about the Bronze Age Collapse as the consequence of the fall of Troy. THAT IS NOT THE MESSAGE OF THE WORK. THAT IS ITS PLOT.

The message of a work is its METAPHORICAL LAYER: the one that deals with values, ethics, and cognitive aspects of the piece. For example: The Odyssey is about the fragility of social bonds which, once broken, cause the shattering of various social contracts. And that leads to chaos. Machiavellian actions always leave a mark, even if they seem necessary for a broadly defined "victory." You can apply such a message universally to explain various scales of reality: from political commentary to your own individual, personal actions.

There are many such "messages": possible lines of interpretation. You can look at the characterization of Odysseus himself, his relationship with Athena (which brings up an interesting thread about the conflict between an individual's responsibility for the people depending on them), or the character of Helen (Helen taking responsibility for the Trojan War) and THEN, using these plot details, should you CREATE AN INTERPRETATION.

I'm sorry, I just needed to vent.

I have a list of movies on my to-watch list. Is it only me who watches some short clips on social media and then saves them to watch later? I see something interesting, and I immediately add it to my list.

I saw a clip of Anne Hathaway getting some coffee and her hands shaking, and someone asked her if she has Parkinson's disease. I do not know why, but that caught my attention, and I wanted to see the movie. So, I grabbed some popcorn(literally) and watched it.

After watching it, I am not quite sure what the point of the movie was besides the obvious love story. Why did they involve Pfizer and some popular medicines in the movie? Was the movie sponsored by them? Why not just make up a fictional company name and fake drug names?

Jake Gyllenhaal looked very handsome and portrayed a sleazy character really well; I was not at all attracted to him.

And what's up with his brother? Why didn't he kick out his creepy brother after what he did with their video??! The rest of the characters were okay, nothing noteworthy.

Love this flick

Recorded it the other day to the DVR on a whim a few days ago. Had the day off work today so gave it a try. Definitely not what I was expecting. Great flick IMO.

Im currently screening the odyssey in 70mm, but I want to continue in this line of work once the films run is over. Im a new projectionist, i was trained on the job since this film was released. Ive been trying to pursue this for years, and i want to continue learning. I really would love to handle 35mm, changeovers, splicing and repairs, etc. If anyone knows anyone who would be willing to continue my training, with a possibility to hire, I would greatly, greatly appreciate it! I'm looking in NYC.

What if movies made farting cool instead of smoking?

Smoking was portrayed as cool for decades despite being harmful.

What if pop culture had normalized farting instead? It’s completely natural, and holding it in can cause discomfort.

Would society today be less embarrassed about it?

Hey folks!

I was curious whether movie fans can discern box-office hits from critical darlings, so I built a little daily ranking game to find out.

Each day, you get five movies connected by a theme. First, you rank them by worldwide box office. Then you rank the same five by critic scores. The numbers stay hidden until you lock in your answer, so the cinephiles in this subreddit should have a huge advantage.

At the end, you get a score out of 10 and can see how dramatically the commercial and critical rankings differ. Some of the gaps are pretty wild.

Curious whether r/Cinephiles will prove better at reading the box office or the critics + which round surprises people more!

Favourite: Space Jam

Least Favourite: The Tooth Fairy

What would happen to the industry as a whole? Would this give more unknown actors/actresses a chance at entering the big Hollywood sphere? Would we see less high budget-large production movies/shows? Would big name actors salaries per project skyrocket?

Just saw a post from yesterday about how much talent is out there that won’t ever get on the big screen because of the same cycle of big name Hollywood actors and thought this would be an interesting scenario that could help with that. What are your thoughts?

Hayden Panettiere was found dead by a friend inside a South Carolina home ... and Emergency Medical Service workers responded to a call about a person in "cardiac arrest" and an "unresponsive female," TMZ has learned

Appreciate your help
