BODY OF WORK! Which of these are you most excited for?
-
Wonder how many more times Miyazaki is gonna convince everyone he's retiring just to say he isn't right after his "final film" comes out and makes gangbusters
-
Thanks for your sharing your thoughts, Amanda. I'm looking forward to seeing many of these films, especially "Close to You", and seeing Elliot Page in a male role, outside of "Umbrella Academy."
-
Great recap! Also, Joseph of Egypt being arrested for not sleeping with Potiphar's wife, the stuff surrounding Lot, and David killing Bathsheba's husband all would predate the murder of John the Baptist.
-
Totally agree on Aggro Dr1ft. It was like you were playing GTA, inverted the screen, and took a bunch of shrooms. Every other scene had that demon guy randomly humping the air and the characters just looked lifeless (likely due to the infrared). I was at the midnight madness screening and saw a lot of people in the rows in front of me walk out.
-
Dumb Money captured the spirit of that particular time. I can relate since I got caught up with it. I had planned to buy AMC Theatres for $2 per share when GameStop blew up. A few months later, I bought AMC at $10 per share. When GameStop blew up again, I sold some shares of AMC, made $2,500 profit, paid off a credit card, and owed a big tax bill. Fun times!
-
the woman who was on the dating show lucked out. after she chose the guy, she declined the date because after the show when they met and talked she told the producers he was weird and didnt feel right about him. she lucked out. and the nick cage movie sounds like the "this man" creepypasta
-
I love film festival videos! Any excuse to make my extensively long watch list even longer is a great time for me.
-
the vampire one sounds like the most interesting one for me, that one and the game show one, will check them out
-
Thanks Amanda for the awesome recap! I was actually planning on going to TIFF for the first time this year, but due to personal family reasons I couldn’t go. But I’m glad that your channel exists so I can hear all about the movies I had on my list. So seriously, thank you for making this video! Also, have you ever considered making a video about how to attend TIFF and get tickets? It would be great to hear your insider recommendations if you have any. I would 1000% watch that video!
-
I had no idea Woman of the Hour was a thing! I remember hearing this story and honestly just being shocked so to know there's a movie about it coming out is wild to me. Netflix subscription might finally get some use again after all
-
I work at one of the theatres tiff runs out of, and I didn't see a single screening fail the Bulgari test, but you have no idea how much that ad got on on my nerves by the end of my 75 hour work week wow (saying r during the anti-piracy thing is a much better tradition)
-
So far the movies that pick my interest from TiFF are The Promised Land, Hell of a Summer, Close to You, One Life, The Teachers' Lounge, Evil Does Not Exist, Seven Veils, Daddio, Hit Man, & Dream Scenario.
-
Love your film festival videos. Always give me new and interesting things to keep an eye out for.
-
😂 I was just watching Scream and thinkin about you haha
-
Great video thanks jedi have a lovely weekend 😀
-
So happy you got to see the Holdovers ! I just saw it in theaters and I absolutely adored it. Do you think that you’ll make a video on it?
-
"This just wasn't the strong return to form I was hoping for from Watiti," is the most Canadian review I've ever heard 🍁❤
-
the review is amazing, as most of your outputs are to us. Hardly getting a breath following your highspeed is part of it. But those occasional seconds throughout this video where you get almost thoughtful slow are like a new extra planet making the sky more lightful. Love.
-
Thanks for this - timely here in Leeds as the Leeds International Film Festival programme is about to be launched, so looking forward to planning my festival
