On this week’s “Screen Talk” we are looking at Three cities striving to become Sundance’s new home. We also discuss Plan B’s extraordinary limited series, ”Youth. “And we analyze the fantastic last episode of”The white lotus. ”
We also debate Disney’s controversial Live-Action “Snow White” and Ask why Warner Bros. have it for animation. From March 16, the studio has removed Looney Tunes Cartoon Shorts Library (released 1930-1969), with Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd, Porky Pig and Wile E. Coyote from Streaming Service Max. “They garbage the past,” Anne said. “Warner Discovery CEO David Zaslav will do anything to save a penny.”
Under his leadership, the studio has not been kind to animation. “Looney Tunes” Live-Action Hybrid film “Coyote vs. Acme” was scrapped Of the WBD 2023 before the movie would start flowing at max and took a tax depreciation of $ 30 million instead. WBD later announced that it had no plans to ever release the movie at $ 70 million, and instead the movie was made available to be sold to another interested studio. WBD’s decision followed similarly scrapped Movies “Batgirl” and animated function “Scoob! Holiday Haunt.” It looks like, finallyIndie distributor ketchup entertainment is in conversation To release the movie.
And there were actually some good news this week from Florida, where the city Miami backed Trying to check what the local arthouse o -cinema could show. The mayor of the city tried to draw the Oscar winner “No other land”, a film about Israeli soldiers who raged Palestinian homes on the West Bank, made by both Palestinian and Israeli filmmakers, who were sucked into the moment. When the theater refused to fold, the mayor threatened to reject them. But the Miami City Council opposed the move and refused to censor the theater’s programming.
On Sundance ahead, this week Ryan, Brian Welk, and I took each of one of the three cities as sundance Must choose as their new home when their Park City agreement ends in 2026. They are expected to make their announcement at the end of the month. Park City has grown up the festival by offering too few theaters and skyrocketing costs. An alternative is 45 minutes away at Major Delta Airlines Hub Salt Lake City, home for large sports teams and lots of arenas, which have long played Sundance programming and has a lively movie society.
Salt Lake seems to be a perfect fit, with the exception of one thing: Republican governor Cox weighs whether to keep the festival’s revenue to introduce or sign a bill prohibiting the flight of certain flags on state buildings and schools, including the Pride flag. If he signs it, Sundance would be a blue festival in a red state. We also looked at Boulder, Colorado and Cincinnati, Ohio. Boulder is more LGBTQ-friendly, says Ryan, a welcoming Blue State with a university and available ski resorts such as Vail and Aspen, while Cincinnati is another large-scale baseball city in a purple state with lots of grand theaters and a hip in the center.
Ryan and Anne both admire an extraordinary new hit Netflix series, “Adolescence”, from plan B. The British series Stars Burly-character actor Steven Graham, who gives an Emmy-worthy performance as a working class father trying to do better than his parents ever did, but must now meet his 13-year-old idea that the idea may now have to meet the idea that his 13-year-old. The four episodes are pushed into fantastic uninterrupted longs take the deepening viewer. Ryan quoted Antonioni’s “passenger” when he described a shot, while Anne compared the series’ film virtuosity with “1917.”
Mike White’s “The white lotus,“After trampling water into a section or two, having taken up the pace when the three women go into a party location, and Walton Goggin’s character managers for Bangkok to see an old friend, played by Sam Rockwell, who tells an exciting story about what he has been up to, when Goggins reacts.
Both Anne and Ryan dismiss controversy that swirls around Disney’s latest live action, The Long-in The-The-Dairy “Snow White“And liked it more than they expected. It may even prove to be a cash office. The two joints (Rachel Zegler and Andrew Burnap) are capable Broadway Warblers, and the new numbers from” La La Land “author Pasek and Paul are hum, even if Galgotten.
We did not even care about the captivity seven dwarves and enjoyed the ways the writers updated the film: Princess Snow White runs the story, while her loving Prince Charming is not a white knight, but more of a Forest Robin Hood type, dressed in a hood.
