I pulled the descriptive copy here from the online festival program and just updated it with the radio station details. Thank you for both the context and the film endorsement! I’m fairly certain this doesn’t yet have a distribution deal in the US and, from the looks of it, is something that we should probably be watching.
@cm0002@lemmy.world - Would you mind editing the title to reflect the posting guidelines?
Jurassic World Rebirth (2025, dir Gareth Edwards)
I wonder how much Scarjo got paid to sit there and pretend to not laugh.
An ideal double feature with Sylvio.
There is a small theater monologue to be written about this event.
The recipe for success here is clear.
Keep finding promising young filmmakers making innovative work (Fruitvale Station) then hamstring them with franchise films for a decade (Creed, Black Panther). If they continue to be successful and not lose every shred of their creative spark, only then give them funding to make more original work.
FYI, Sesame Street went public-private in 2016 when they signed a deal with HBO to fund new episodes which then were permitted to air on PBS several months later.
In Dec 2024, HBO/Max called the deal off and effectively cancelled the show. Now they’re shopping for a new home and, with the threats of PBS funding cuts, the notion of returning to PBS is in question.
So basically the showrunners of Sesame Street are at least partially responsible for the corner they painted themselves into here.

It’s been 6 years and they’re still coasting on Endgame vibes.
Also see this video that Coogler made for Kodak where he talks about film formats and aspect ratios.
The notion that 45% approve of what’s actually happening is appalling.
Regular Car Reviews will have a ton of fun with this.
Depending on how stoned you’re interested in getting, and your cognitive abilities under the influence, consider Mad Ape Den.
At its core, Mad Ape Den is a writing exercise where you only use words composed of three letters or less:
To bid you a bit of it, the gab may go as so.
Our favorite thing to do is to make a guessing game of it. Have everyone else try to guess something you’ve chosen, describing it using Mad Ape Den. Your turn ends if you mess up and use a longer word. For example:
He is a man, but he is a bat, too.
Batman!
There’s a lot of discussion here without any mention of Sublime Text.
As a fan of the international features category, I really hope this helps some of the less-widely-distributed films get wider release.
Heuristics are real things deserving of both respect and fear.
