The Exploding Cinema Manifesto

For how much longer must we tolerate your elite nepotistic enclave, your sacred art object economy, your white, male, liberal guilt complex, your public school masonic fraternity, your fish fetish, your shaved heads, your artistic anal craft professionalism, your adolescent narcissism, your psycho-linguistic gobbledegook, your cottage in Provence, your rabid careerism, your bogus radicalism, your-half-naked lovers, your intellectual bankruptcy, your art school tutorials, your intoxicating brown-nosing, your catholic opera cult, your international bourgeois tourism, your water rituals, your meaningful silence, your state funded cynicism, your sado-masochistic posturing, your inability to comprehend film as anything other than your archaic fine art mysticism, your fashion victims, your fields of wheat, your church-based installation worship, your desperate search for marginality, your corrupt non-industry, your contempt for anyone outside of your pathetic clique, your boring, lazy, unwatchable films, your computer video masturbation, your insatiable ego-mania?

It was you who consigned the Underground to 20 years of drivel. We've had enough, so FUCK OFF.

  • Jan de Bont to Direct Live-Action Mulan Movie
    With the lone exception of Speed, the critical appreciation for Jan de Bont's directorial efforts (Twister, The Haunting, Lara Craft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life, Speed 2: Cruise Control) has never come close to the success that he's found at the worldwide box office—but now he may be aiming to change that. With years having gone by since his last film, his return to cinema looks to be a departure from the Hollywood genre pics he's done throughout his career. Find out all there is to know about the film, including who's set to star, after the break. De Bont is tackling Mulan, a live-action retelling of the popular Chinese folk tale about a young heroine who joins an all-male army, best known in American culture by the 1998 animated Disney film of the same name. The film seeks to combine drama, romance, and action. The Hollywood Reporter says the film is ...
  • The /Filmcast: After Dark - Ep. 114 - Grab Bag
    The /Filmcast: After Dark is a recording of what happens right after The /Filmcast is over, when the kids have gone to bed and the guys feel free to speak whatever is on their minds. In other words, it’s the leftover and disorganized ramblings, mindfarts, and brain diarrhea from The /Filmcast, all in one convenient audio file. In this episode, David Chen, Devindra Hardawar, and Adam Quigley run down some of their favorite movies of the year so far, discuss when a film is worth remaking, and touch upon the metaphors in The Mist.

  • Financing Has Collapsed for Terry Gilliam’s ‘Don Quixote’; 3D ‘Time Bandits’ Conversion Planned?
    I feel for Terry Gilliam. He just can't seem to catch a break, no matter the project. And in the case of The Man Who Killed Don Quixote, the film's history has been more storied than most. He's been trying to get the movie made for over ten years, and even got as far as filming the thing (with Johnny Depp in the lead role, no less), when the entire production went to hell and was forced into cancellation. These mishaps were captured in detail in the depressing 2002 documentary Lost in La Mancha, and I've been wary about Gilliam's attempts to return to the project ever since. And for good reason, it seems. A month ago, Gilliam admitted that there had been some financial complications with the movie, but wrote it off as "a little hiccup". Well, either that "little hiccup" expanded pretty rapidly, or he was seriously downplaying the severity ...
