“The world is a den of thieves, and night is falling. Evil breaks its chains and runs through the world like a mad dog. The poison affects us all. No one escapes. Therefore let us be happy while we are happy. Let us be kind, generous, affectionate and good.” Fanny & Alexander (1982, Ingmar Bergman)

I guess I am not surprised, but someone let the domain quibi.com expire and it is now being auctioned at GoDaddy. Right now, the top bid is $3,500.

He also made the incredible ALPHABET CITY, which is like if Tony Manero directed SCARFACE.

People criticize Bari Weiss’s journalism skills but she’s now done more than any other individual to alert Americans to the existence of the pilot concentration camp their taxes are funding in El Salvador.

Was just talking about this weird and wonderful Christmas movie last night, Frank Tashlin's Susan Slept Here, with its eternal Tashlinesque ribaldry matched by his giddy inside-Hollywood reflexivity; it's on @tcmtv.bsky.social at 11:30am (almost now): www.newyorker.com/magazine/201...

“On behalf of Director Park Chan-wook's new film, we are cordially inviting all Fortune 500 CEOs to a special screening of NO OTHER CHOICE. This is truly a film that speaks to our gracious executive leaders and the culture they have cultivated.” Beast mode shit.

Bi Gan’s RESURRECTION is easily one of the most inspired films in recent memory. Described as a “phantasmagoric dream machine,” it’s also a technical triumph as well as epic tribute to cinema, dreams, and imagination. Highly recommended to the dreamers.

In a world where 10 was the best, Rob Reiner was an 11. RIP.
