positive · AI labelView post →Can we talk about how this late summer/early autumn moment has been completely cinematically stacked? Coyote vs. Acme, Resident Evil, Tony, Primetime, The History of Concrete... like I've basically been seeing one movie per week and each one has been a banger in its own right.
neutral · AI labelView post →saw The History of Concrete today btw, good movie. basically just a plus sized Jon Wilson episode but that's not a bad thing either.
positive · AI labelView post →Fans of How To with John Wilson can breathe a sign of relief—The History of Concrete is both as good as the show and Wilson’s idiosyncratic storytelling style works even better as a movie!
neutral · AI labelView post →I interviewed the great John Wilson for this week’s @onthemedia.bsky.social midweek podcast. We spoke about his new feature length doc The History of Concrete and all the psychic turmoil the film caused him. He was vulnerable, and had a lot of thoughts on the problems w media and modern city life:

neutral · AI labelView post →John Wilson’s THE HISTORY OF CONCRETE is more than just another episode of his show. It's a film about making films and a work of an artist, a weird, weird artist, reflecting on it all. Washington folks, go see it at @nwfilmforum.bsky.social, @siffnews.bsky.social, and @thegrandcinema.bsky.social 📽️

positive · AI labelView post →Nearly two years ago, we reviewed the Christmas movie featured in The History of Concrete on Deck the Hallmark. #tvsky 📺 @deckthehallmark.bsky.social
neutral · AI labelView post →Honestly a little jealous that the poster for a Lifetime Christmas movie directed by an acquaintance of mine made it into THE HISTORY OF CONCRETE. A film about sand, gum removal, tattoo preservation, the healing power of playing music, and DMX. (THE HISTORY OF CONCRETE, not the Christmas movie.)
positive · AI labelView post →Went to see The History of Concrete at the Riverview. If you see one movie about the history of concrete this year, make it The History of Concrete. This movie should be shot into space for aliens to learn about the history of concrete.
positive · AI labelView post →Saw the new John Wilson film The History of Concrete at my favorite concrete building, The Egg in Albany. (See below). The film was preceded by a short movie about the making of The Egg and followed by a Q&Q with John Wilson. The screening was sold out - 900 people attended - which made for a fun

"After attending a workshop on how to write and sell a Hallmark movie, filmmaker John Wilson tries to use the same formula to sell a documentary about concrete."

There’s also a Brad Pitt-and-a-dog movie, which I haven’t seen. Go see a movie! Again!

positive · AI labelView post →Last week I saw The History of Concrete and watching John Wilson do his bonkers essay film thing in a room with 650 of us laughing was like a new way of engaging with his work after only watching it at home alone

positive · AI labelView post →The History of Concrete was really really excellent. In the unlikely chance a movie theater in your city is showing it, go see it.
positive · AI labelView post →John Wilson's look at our crumbling infrastructure becomes an unexpectedly moving meditation on impermanence in THE HISTORY OF CONCRETE.

The History of Concrete sounds *extremely* up my alley, and hell yeah, while the only theaters with showtimes in the next few days are all like an hour away, a local tiny theater will be getting it at the end of the month 🥰
