Matilda
Matilda Wormwood is an brilliant and intelligent little girl. Unfortunately, her parents, Harry and Zinnia, fail to see that fact. As time passes, she finally starts school and has a kind teacher, loyal friends, and a terrifying, sadistic headmistress. As she becomes fed up with the constant cruelty, she discovers she has a special gift that she just might be able to use to outwit the unruly adults around her. From TMDB

unlabelledView post →It’s been two years this month since I paired Missy Elliott and Ciara’s Lose Control song with the Matilda Musical movie.
unlabelledView post →This isn't Harry Wormwood the used car conman salesman from Roald Dahl's classic book Matilda. No it's the guy who got $14m for doing the Reflecting Pool in the USA. I think he has a movie star role coming up too.

unlabelledView post →Such a beautiful tribute to your friend. Being a nerd, I was a fan of Harriet The Spy and Matilda as books before the movies were made. To this day, they are the 2 book-to-movie adaptations that still feel true. It's apparent now, that was in part due to casting authentic kids.
unlabelledView post →The 2025 Red Sonja film. It's not bad. Matilda Lutz is a good Red Sonja. The film itself is brought down by its low budget that keeps it unfocused. I liked the 1st half, the 2nd half less so. During the end credits, I was watching for @gailsimone.bsky.social . Found her! #film

unlabelledView post →Side thread: How did you choose your name? This was how I chose my legal name, whereas my pen name Zinnia was from the mom Zinnia Wormwood in the Matilda movie, which was my favorite as a kid 💫
unlabelledView post →Never read the books by @gailsimone.bsky.social but I just watched the recent #RedSonja film and I’m now eyeing the collected editions on Amazon because that film was so fun! Matilda Lutz was amazing! Went in with no expectations and came out wanting more. Sequel please!

While filming Matilda (1996), he and Rhea Perlman basically took in their 8-year-old co-star, Mara Wilson, after her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer early into production. Sadly, her mom died before the movie was released, but Danny visited her in the hospital to screen a near-complete cut of the film. According to Mara, Danny and Rhea are delightful people that bent over backwards to help her family. And that's just one of many stories of…

unlabelledView post →I watched Matilda (1996) for the first time in my life last night, a *delightful* favorite movie from my partner’s childhood, and other than the sound design and a few costume choices that shit is 100% a terrifying horror movie

She's fitted with advanced prosthetics connected to the brain. As she takes the world by storm, suspicions emerge over whether her amputation was a deliberate choice.
unlabelledView post →8yo recently read “Matilda” and then asked to watch the movie and 😍 #BookSky It’s really helpful to just have books “around” — they will just pick stuff up and it’s awesome.
unlabelledView post →That'd be like the weirdest bit of celebrity trivia. "Hey, you know the girl from that movie Matilda, did you hear she was murdered by a manananggal, yeah, no it baked her in an oven I guess."

unlabelledView post →She is amazing. I also love Cardi but Meg is just so fucking funny and talented. Cardi did post about really loving the movie Matilda, once, though, so I’m always going to have a soft spot for her.
unlabelledView post →OMG I so want Star Wars to go the Mean Girls/Matilda route! Turn it into a Broadway musical and then turn that *back* into a movie!
unlabelledView post →Matilda was a good ass movie.
unlabelledView post →Edward Berger is talented, and the screenplay is by Matilda musical book and Utopia writer Dennis Kelly. There's potential. Even though the zombie movie I want is the ending of the 28 Years Later trilogy.

unlabelledView post →Also, do you know what the leftist mirror film is? Matilda Think about it... its very iconoclastic about social institutions like the nuclear family, education, even law enforcement with the corrupt FBI agents. Except maybe religion, unless you consider Matilda to be a witch...
unlabelledView post →I think it really can’t be understated how great Matilda is as Sonja. Sure they maybe could have cast someone with more muscle but her ability to convincingly switch from softly compassionate to rage and ferocity is what makes this film. She is the beating heart of Red Sonja.

unlabelledView post →My first instinct was to show her the film version of Matilda: The Musical, but I honestly think I’d be most fascinated by her take on Jesus Christ Superstar
unlabelledView post →at least he appreciated Matilda, which is great (and directed by Danny Devito). it is just wild watching these ”old” movies and how tactile and real and pretty and fun they are compared to most movies today. I am turning old

unlabelledView post →My friend Andi and I just watched Red Sonja, starring Matilda Lutz from Revenge. I loved Lutz's performance, and enjoyed many elements of the film. Sadly, the awful screenplay wasn't one of them. Some good fight scenes, lots of cool ideas, and better acting than usual for a sword & sorcery flick.
unlabelledView post →Recently rewatched Matilda (1996) and if you took some scenes out of context, when Matilda was terrorizing Trenchbull at her house and the scene where the kids were reading out loud what was being written in the chalkboard and told me they came from a horror film I would have absolutely believed you
unlabelledView post →I loved Matilda the book growing up, and have grown to love the film. I was unfortunately not surprised to learn about his antisemitism. Matilda isn’t as bad as some of his others, but there’s a nasty streak of fatphobia and potentially transphobia throughout the whole thing.
unlabelledView post →I just finished watching Red Sonja. Matilda Lutz absolutely owns the role, bringing both strength and charisma to the character. The film feels like a perfect mix of Gladiator’s epic battles, Wonder Woman’s empowering spirit, and the raw sword-and-sorcery energy of Conan the Barbarian. (1/2)
