CLAYFACE is like a Dimension Films release that was shelved in 1998 due to SFX limitations and is now finally getting its release and I mean this in the most complimentary way. The most “90s movie” made in years.

Sylvester Stallone says his daughter's expanded role on "Tulsa King" Season 4 is "of course" the result of nepotism: “First they go, ‘Nepotism is terrible. I said, ‘Oh please, you’re not a good parent if you haven’t performed a little nepotism.' Then obviously you don’t care about your kids, because they come first. Of course it’s nepotism, you idiot. That’s why we’re parents. We want the best for our children. So obviously, we let them have every advantage." variety.com/2026/tv/news/syl…

"Wildwood" took nearly 15 years to make, with 231 puppets and 136 sets, making it the longest stop motion film ever made.

"Obsession" star Inde Navarrette says Gen Z moviegoers do not want corporate slop in movies: “Gen Z just wants to go to something that they don’t feel like they’re being sold. Maybe we are tired constantly of having ads in movies or production placement and all of these things. We understand it’s fundamental. We grew up with commercials that are fun that we still quote like State Farm and Aflac. It’s kind of fun. But we don’t want to be sold. We want original stories. Just because we’re living in the time of technology doesn’t mean we’re not living a human life or feel human experiences. We went originality and we want to feel.” (via The Kyle Buchanan Show) variety.com/2026/film/news/i…

I think the hard part of Netflix is it's not movies. You cannot shoot the same way you do for movies. You are shooting for a small screen, even if it's a hundred inch TV. It's not a movie theater. It's television. That's not a bad thing, it just requires a different set of compositional tools because you don't have immersion at your fingertips. It actually requires more skill from the filmmaker to encapsulate a cinematic experience in 2 hours on a box you can turn off at any point, that competes against the real world around you. On a certain level, the captured audience of a black box movie theater is easier to bullshit.
