Anything Goes

For those that may be new to the site, when I post commentary about creative works, they reflect my personal tastes only - never intend to rank my tastes vs others or assume that my preferences should be anyone else's...all that being said, I have to make a ringing endorsement for The Plague.

If you...

If you love movies like It Follows, Carrie, The Shining, Lord Of The Flies (all of which are faves of mine and high on all-time categories and have all been passed on such lists as of tonight by The Plague) then this movie is a must for you.

The writing, directing, and soundscape/score all meld into a unified vision that is so overwhelmingly effective as to be almost magical. It has been rare for me to find a new release in theaters to have the type of impact this movie has had and for me (again I am not ranking my tastes vs others) this is they type of movie experience I was hoping to have with Weapons and The Sinner. The social commentary was searing but incredibly provocative and as usual Joel Edgerton finds the most interesting projects to be involved with. I am guessing it will not generate the same type of discussion that the Netflix hit Adolescence did, but the quality of the writing and the full message presented deserves to be discussed with the same level of respect.

Whoever made the casting decisions....PLEASE be involved in my Dixie Dynamite project hahaha....I have never seen any of the child actors in another work and each of them were superb to spectacular and brought such incredible presence to their roles.

The plot was well conceived, the dialogue and action all 100% believable and authentic and the homage the project provides to Full Metal Jacket is so pleasing to me as well. The final scene, again for me, is so much more effective than Weapons was and provides very effective insight and commentary in a way that I do not feel Weapons did.

One of the best movies I have seen at the theater in years and I can't wait to go see it again! GO SEE THIS MOVIE!

Happy New Year 2026 to everyone here on Stage 32!

I’ve met many great friends on this platform, and I’m truly grateful for the creative connections so far. I hope this new year brings even more collaboration, inspiration, and opportunities for all of us.

Thank you to every artist and filmmaker here —...

Ugo Cavallo The 2002 movie Equilibrium had some mediocre official posters, but it's one of my favorites. Would love to see a new take on it.

Please don't push too hard on yourself, looking for the perfect title, because production studios LOVE changing it anyway. Well, they figure that when they buy your work, they can do whatever they want with it.
