You might not know this film is out, as a number of social media platforms have banned it from being advertised hollywoodreporter.com/news/p…

The move came just as Alex Gibney's doc expanded to nearly 500 screens. Distributor Bleecker Street was upset and concerned by the two-day ban.

“Musk” Review: At 4 hours long, Alex Gibney’s documentary is a bit much and lacks new revelations, though the cumulative effects of seeing all these stories laid out together is quite unnerving. #Venezia83 ign.com/articles/musk-movie-…

Four hours is more than enough time to spend with Elon Musk, but Alex Gibney’s documentary Musk should’ve been more comprehensive.

British Jack Black is great in another Jane Austen drama, the ITV series Sanditon, if you want more of him

While it’s true some people dismiss astrology on misogynist grounds, I’m afraid that Le Guin said it best.

As others have said, Taika Waititi’s Klara and the Sun is tonally very unlike the book and strips out whole plot lines. What’s left behind actually works far better than I’d expected, but it’s slight and sentimental, no getting past that

Ike Barinholtz was a total scream as Elon Musk in Artificial. I suspect some won’t enjoy the performance but I loved it
Ilyaz@AomineRebornOct 12
Can’t wait for this performance to be talked about as one of the most hilarious impersonations ever put to screen, the whole theatre was dying at every bit of screentime Ike Barinholtz had as Elon 😭😭

Artificial is a funny and horrifying film, and Andrew Garfield is fantastic in it. I just wish it could muster a little more interest in the technology and the claims behind it

Do I think it matters all that much for Artificial to properly distinguish between the harms that some imagined AGI could conjure and the harms that even basic AIs might lead to? No. But it’s a missed opportunity

Danny Boyle on the current status of ‘28 Years Later: Part III’ - “It’s on the back burner at the moment.” He continued to say he “hopes” the film will be made if financing can be locked in. Boyle added that the pause in the film series has also been prompted by Alex Garland’s busy schedule. “Alex has been off doing his own film [A24’s ‘Elden Ring’ adaptation], which is a big project,” Boyle said during a Q&A at the London Film Festival.
