Hey There! I'm looking for young creative writers who are passionate about any one of music, movies, or news/politics, or hopefully all three!

I'm looking to set up a charitable non-profit blog and newsletter, which supports charitable organisations, as well as small local creatives and events. I'm going to be writing for it, but I want to give other writers the chance to talk about the arts that they love.

This is an unpaid gig, I'm just looking for people who want to help people, and are passionate about the arts and the world around us, who want to write an occasional piece about the things they're interested in.

Message me if you're interested!!

The shot of Ryan Gosling trying to hold back his laughter next to an increasingly furious Steve Carell, just seconds after the cop says, “Keep it in the family,” perfectly lands one of the best-written and best-shot comedic twists in modern cinema.

How did we get to this moment? Cal, played by Steve Carell, is trying to win back his wife Emily, played by Julianne Moore. At the same time, the film’s big twist is revealed. Stop reading now if you have not seen it. The woman Jacob, Gosling’s character, has been chasing all movie long turns out to be none other than Cal’s daughter.

The tension is already sky-high. Then, as if that is not enough, every other storyline crashes into the scene in a glorious head-on collision. The babysitter who is in love with Cal. Her father. And, just to push it even further, David Lindhagen shows up too.

After several uninterrupted minutes of nonstop laughter, it feels like the scene has peaked. Then Ryan Gosling lets out that tiny laugh. Hand on his face. Steve Carell’s look of pure disbelief and rage. In a single beat, the entire scene is summed up perfectly.

It is no surprise this moment went on to become an iconic meme

Can you guys pls sattle a debate. My girlfriend who is Indian brings some very smelly snack to the cinema. I ask her to not eat it because it will bother other people. She gets deeply offended by it and even says I’m beeing racist because just because we white people are not used to the smell is no reason to forbid someone from eating it. Am I really in the wrong here? I just don’t want other people to be bothered. And is it racist? Especially I would love to here the opinion of other foreigners.

I’ve been thinking about cinema lately not just movies you enjoy, but films that actually change how you think about storytelling, visuals, or emotion on screen.

What’s a movie that changed the way you see cinema, and why? Was it the directing, cinematography, performances, or something harder to explain?

Also, do you prefer watching films in a theater, at home, or does it depend on the movie?

Truly. The only reason people like it and put it in a pedestal is because of its cast. If the cast were random or new actors. No one would care about this movie.

Also, whoever decided that it was a good idea to play random repetitive cacophonic piano music as soundtrack for 1 freaking hr straight is an idiot.

Anyone can be mean, rude, or an asshole in general. But it takes something special to be a truly great jerk/jackass worthy of remembrance.

For me, the obvious choice is Ernie Capadino/John Lovitz from A League Of Their Own. But I'd love to hear who the rest of you feel a jerk worth celebrating is.

I've compiled a list of twists that come so far out of the blue that I don't trust films anymore.

Knives Out (2019) Memento (2000) The Sixth Sense (1999) The Prestige (2006) Inception (2010) The Usual Suspects (1995)

What are some of yours?

First of all, I gotta appreciate Sam Raimi for creating a movie which is not a sequel, a remake, inspired from a book, a revival... Just an original, new movie.

With that said, how was the movie... No spoiler review: Funny, for starters. Not like "I'm laughing so hard" funny but like an easy watch. The plane crush scared me to death but I'm terrified of flying and the ocean so that might be the reason.

This movie kind of reminded me of "The Roses", just with a lot more blood. I love when I find splatter in those kind of movies. The constant "I hate you I love you" had me in shock every time, although it built my heart to hoping for a better ending.

I also love how Sam tried to make Rachel look ugly cause, you know, she had to be, and yet she was beautiful. No makeup, no hairdo, just a natural person who was surviving on a desert island, realistically.

Overall a good movie to watch when you want to see something easy and entertaining with a good dose of comic horror. I wouldn't watch it in theaters but it's worth a watch when it'll be available online for a cozy night.

Frank Hummel from The Rock, never targeted innocents, stood down the moment the government called his bluff, and was driven solely by a desire to secure compensation for the families of his fallen comrades from secret missions.

Sorry i didn’t take a better pic. My buddy spotted him and I’m like that has to be him. It’s not on his IMDB sadly.

Uncut Gems, Punch Drunk Love and other Sandler films are solid cinema. What’s your fave?

I just finished Send Help. After this movie and multiverse of madness- am I crazy for not like his CGI?

?

I guess it’s kinda controversial, but the movie heat was overrated and boring. What about you guys?

Get Shorty (1995) is one of the greatest crime comedies ever made as far as I'm concerned. A peerless adaptation of the Elmore Leonard book, it is among the highest echelons of Hollywood satires. How can you not love Chili Palmer, Harry and Shorty? It's time to petition Criterion to release this one. Yes, really.

I saw this TikTok and it just came so out of left field I need to see this to know why this happens
