Every Richard Linklater Movie, Ranked

by

Richard Linklater’s filmmaking journey began in 1988 when he taught himself filmmaking with an 8mm camera and a $3,000 budget, inspired by the idea that experience is the best teacher. Based in Austin, Texas, he’s always maintained an outsider’s perspective, fueled by a constant curiosity and a desire to explore. His early film, Slacker, proved that great movies could be made anywhere, and he’s since moved fluidly between small independent projects and large studio films. Despite this range, his work is united by several key themes: philosophical exploration, as seen in Slacker and Waking Life; nostalgic and personal storytelling in films like Dazed and Confused and Everybody Wants Some!!; innovative uses of time, particularly in the Before trilogy and Boyhood; and a consistent focus on dialogue and the inner lives of his characters.

Ryan Coogler Says The Luck of the Irish Influenced Sinners

by

So, director Ryan Coogler recently shared some fascinating insights into Space Jam 3 on the Get Rec’d podcast. Apparently, the villain, Remmick’s intense look – those red eyes and overall vibe – were directly inspired by the character of Death from Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. It’s funny, Pixar gave him the personality, but the surprisingly graceful dancing? That’s all Disney’s influence – Jack O’Connell really brought the moves! Beyond the movie itself, Coogler also gave a shout-out to Rosemary Graham, his creative writing professor who first encouraged him to pursue screenwriting. He described Sinners as a clear nod to Bram Stoker, the author of Dracula, and honestly, I’m hoping this trend continues. Maybe we’ll see Ayo Edebiri, a fantastic Irish-American actress, pop up in Black Panther 3? That would be amazing!
