Jenn Reeves and I will be chopping it up after screening her film The Time We Killed—this friday at the FMC. It would be a real treat to have you there. A few original posters and lobby cards available!

Where are the great reckonings with Dwan’s minstrel shows in I Dream of Jeannie and Sweethearts on Parade? I think the dossier does a fine job, but I think the world could do with a deeper interrogation of these films

every time I write about a new film I want to kill myself. this doesn’t happen in the same way with older films. what is this.

Charlie Chaplin -> Jerry Lewis -> João César Monteiro -> ? (I will learn to act and direct, so that this void may be filled)

tired of giving stars, hearts, thumbs up etc… from now on every festival circuit I’ll just be assigning a “BOOM!” or a “DOOM!”

would anyone here recommend applying to grad school if I’m seeking some more stable work in film writing/programming/creation/archiving? my bachelors in journalism seems to be getting me nowhere fast. plz advise, looking for guidance.

for the half dozen of my mutuals here who aren’t on twitter, I have a new super8 work. you can watch it at this link. feel free to log wherever, you can find it on lb, etc. vimeo.com/909072559?sh...

What are the most necessary Fords that aren’t like, the ten most popular?

how does one tell if their short film is good. I vary on all of my work (as I assume most people do?) I know I’ll only get better, at least. took a jump with one into something completely foreign to me with analogue film and did away with all words/music 🤷

last nights 1990 ‘White Hunter, Black Heart’ with this mornings 1966 ‘Our Trip to Africa’. I think that some brave programmer should do what needs to be done and finally put eastwoood in the a-g screenings he belongs in.

every time someone says zone of interest ‘sounded really good’ I know they’ve never watched Memoria

just watched Disco Boy (2024). bites off more than it can chew but I’ll gladly take an edgelord beau travail over whatever grief-as-character arthouse bullshit a24 is putting out these days. would I rather watch Beau Travail? sure. but I’d rather watch Beau Travail than 99.99% of movies.

does anyone know how john whitney made terminal self?

okay I’m back on bluesky what’s happening here folks

Terence Davies. What is there to say? A singular artist, follower of no school or trend. Just an unparalleled ability to channel his own painful history into indelible sounds and images. A true avant-garde classicist.

one of the greats
