Don't Talk or Text During 'Only God Forgives' or Ryan Gosling Might Do Horrible Things to You | No Film School

We don't really know what he's capable of. Ryan Gosling that is. He warmed our hearts in The Notebook and terrified us in Drive, and his newest film Only God Forgives, directed by Nicholas Winding Refn, is coming to Alamo Drafthouse theaters. If you plan on seeing it, Refn has a message for you, and he's got Gosling on his side (so I wouldn't make him angry):

The PSA is an ongoing series from the Alamo Drafthouse, who is notoriously strict on those who don't follow their "Don't Talk or Text" policy. If you missed the last one, Julie Delpy gave us a piece of her mind:

Based on his previous work, I would take the threat from Refn pretty seriously. But the choice is yours: talk or text at your own risk in the Alamo Drafthouse.

Mark Duplass Has Some Thoughts on Sundance Acceptance

Mark Duplass Share His Thoughts on Sundance Acceptance

The Calvary King delivers a hopeful message to filmmakers who didn't get into Sundance.

Mark Duplass has always been a filmmaker's filmmaker. He famously delivered his "The Cavalry is Not Coming" speech at SXSW as a call to action for independent filmmakers to stop waiting and start shooting. Duplass also historically creates and works on small-budget indie projects, including being a key member of the lo-fi, bare-bones mumblecore movement. He's also a charismatic actor who brings a relatable ethos to every role he plays—not to mention seems like an overall cool dude.

We love Mark Duplass.

All the above considered, it's no surprise to see Duplass take to social media with an encouraging statement following the recently announced 2025 Sundance lineup this past Wednesday. Duplass, hot off positive reviews for the recently released The Creep Tapes on Shudder, warmly comforted filmmakers that if you happened to apply to Sundance and weren't selected, hey, that's okay. They curate 15,775. It happens.

We all know rejection sucks, but don't sweat it. Be proud of your project no matter what. And watch Mark Duplass's full snippet of encouraging wisdom below.
