Satisfying the apparent demands of Netflix’s metrics results in what Nerdstalgic calls “visual muzak,” geared to hold out just enough familiarity and prestige to get users to press play, without ever calling so much attention to itself that they press stop. This makes the studio pictures of the nineties, when Affleck and Damon broke out, look like the stuff of a golden age. “There were a lot of really good independent movies that were being made,” Damon remembers. “They were making daring movies, and everyone just got way more conservative.” On one level, streaming platforms have greatly widened access to film in general; on another, they’ve stifled artistic individuality and risk-taking on the part of actual films.
Ce n’était pas une question de jours, mais d’heures ! Netflix va acquérir Warner Bros. pour 82,7 milliards de dollars, comme l’entreprise l’a annoncé sur son site. Les deux entreprises ont trouvé un accord pour une acquisition sur la base de 27,75 $ par action Warner Bros. Discovery, à hauteur de 23,25 $ en argent et 4,5 $ en actions Netflix. L’acquisition n’aura pas lieu avant la vente de la partie télévision en direct, qui doit se faire au troisième trimestre 2026. Autrement dit, l’opération ne sera pas finalisée avant la fin de l’année prochaine, sous réserve que le nouvel acquéreur obtienne les opérations nécessaires.
Et bin...
J'espère qu'ils n'annuleront pas les séries à la chaine 🙃
Et effectivement, quid des projets déjà en travail sur le temps longs (série HP, DCU, TLOU, etc.) ?
Why don't movies feel "real" anymore? A deep dive into the first principles of movie immersion: on perceptual realism, indexicality, haptic visuality, and cinematic qualia.
OUI.
Bon. Là, je sens que je vais froisser certaines personnes, mais faut qu'on en parle : je trouve qu'on se monte un peu trop le bourrichon avec les spoilers.
Très intéressante cette interview.
Surtout la perspective sur l’épisode 8, le côté subversif de son propos. Un aspect que je n’ai pas forcément vu ou compris initialement, il faut que je revoie le film maintenant !
Denis Villeneuve is set to direct the next James Bond film for Amazon MGM Studios, the studio announced Wednesday.
Amy Pascal and David Heyman will produce, as previously announced, with Tanya Lapointe exec producing.
Villeneuve has been rumored as one of the high-profile directors being looked at for the project, alongside the likes of Edward Berger, Edgar Wright, Jonathan Nolan and Paul King. Earlier, the sense was that Alfonso Cuarón, a frequent collaborator of producer Heyman, might be taking the gig.
Ooooooh !
Movies are handmade, and just like any other art form, sometimes the seams that hold movies together become visible to the audience. For movie fans, these moments are very exciting. Catching a glimpse behind the scenes is an exhilarating experience. My favorite kind of “movie mistake” is the kind that is hiding in plain sight... but the casual viewer missed it upon first viewing. Or perhaps even the second viewing, or even the third.
I’m particularly obsessed with moments that reveal the craft and artistry of the magic trick of a shot that slightly shatters the illusion of cinema. These revealing moments have been in movies since the dawn of cinema, and are everywhere (if you know exactly where to look).
J’adore ce genre de vidéo. Ces moments où je pourrais presque regretter de ne pas avoir poursuivi dans le ciné…
Next summer’s horror blockbuster is the biggest release yet to be shot with iPhones—and not even Apple’s latest model.
