The Incomer (2026)

Nolan Cut the Twelve Hanged Women From The Odyssey. That Silence Is the Real Story.
After the camera looks away Nolan told the truth in his Time interview. He said the ending of the Odyssey was “too grim and so misogynistic,” that he had to exclude some of it, and that he still did not want to abandon what it says about “the way men make war.” That sentence is a useful example. A director recognizes the ethical problem in his source text. His way of handling it is to avoid staging that problem and examining it. Instead, he has the camera look away.

'American Dreamer' (1984)- The 1980s Movie That Wanted to Be 'Charade'

What Movies Have I Watched?
Not Suitable for Work (2026), Creator: Mindy Kaling, Actors: Ella Hunt, Avantika, Will Angus This series had potential. “Not Suitable for Work” revolves around a group of young adults navigating the world. Finding your dream job is tough. I thought that’s what this series would focus on, but just like other media, romance is its prime focus. Credits include Ella Hunt, Avantika, and Will Angus. I’m surprised that Mindy Kaling created this series. None of the characters have depth. The actors give the weak stories their best shot. Writers seriously thought a relationship between an employee and her boss was more engrossing than growing her name in the business world? To me, that’s exciting.

Movies of the 80s: 'Tuff Turf' (1985) — When the 80s Turned Teen Rebellion Into a Music Video
The 1980s had a peculiar talent for taking familiar movie formulas and covering them in neon. Take Rebel Without a Cause . Strip away some of the existential angst, add a Los Angeles street gang, throw in a romantic subplot, crank up the music, give everybody spectacular hair, and shoot it like MTV might interrupt at any moment.

I Have Some Bad News
I’ve been struck by the banality of the “Hero’s Journey” as shoved down our throats by Hollywood for the last fifty years. Oh great, another Dune movie about a white savior who was chosen to rescue an indigenous civilization. I loved that movie the last time I saw it, when it was called Avatar .
