Happy 11th anniversary of me losing my fucking mind over this QVC clip

This evening I am watching Joachim Trier's #LouderThanBombs with an amazing cast (of course). Isabelle Huppert is one of my fav actors of all time. Watching on Criterion. #nfotd www.hollywoodreporter.com/video/louder...

For the first time in history, the state of Virginia has a female Governor and right after being sworn in today Governor Abigail Spanberger’s first official act was to end cooperation between ICE-Gestapo and Virginia State Police. More of this. 💙👊👏

My last two shots before my world went dark.

Love it!

You need to dig deep to find good news on the interwebs, but I found something that made me happy. I'm sure if I were on IG, I would have learned this when it was announced? Anyway, I'm very happy #XOKitty was nominated for a GLAAD award for Outstanding Kids and Family Programming.

It’s been reported locally, but I’m not sure how much national notice this has gotten. As part of this invasion by shithead goons, they are putting ICE agents in jetbridges and other parts of the airport at Minneapolis-Saint Paul. If you are flying Delta via MSP, you are putting yourself at risk.

Decided to rewatch #StationEleven. LOVED this show but can't decide if a rewatch is a good idea or will awaken some Covid PTSD? Eventho the ending is a piece of poetry.

Treated myself to a rental of #BlackPhone2 by Scott Derrickson. Stunning cinematography by Brett Jutkiewicz who has horror in a choke hold (look at all of those credits!). #TheBlackPhone was scarier & creepier to me, but #2 is very satisfying. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdR-... #nfotd

You know how I know the film industry isn’t complete shite? I reviewed the short list for Best Cinematography and only later did it hit me, there are three women DPs on this list. (Yes, I know we have a long way to go but this made me happy, so don’t ”This is a Wendy’s” me)

Last night, The Minneapolis Federation of Educators Local 59 signed on to the call for a Jan 23 shutdown. That brings total labor support to: the Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) Local 1005, SEIU Local 26, UNITE HERE Local 17, CWA Local 7250, St. Paul Federation of Educators Local 28, and the MFE 59

This morning I learned about “Crown Shyness”. If I were a writer I’d fold that in somewhere. thursd.com/articles/tre...

I love anyone's film noir. Criterion clearly has a crush on me with their #NordicNoir. Yesterday I watched #HiddenInTheFog. Tonight I just queued up #GirlWithHyacinths #nfotd www.criterionchannel.com/nordic-noir

Rewatching #BoogieNights. Dirk Diggler's first porn scene. He tells Jack Horner (Burt Reynolds) that he doesn't need a rehearsal. Burt says "Well, we'll shoot the rehearsal". And I immediately yell at the tv "then its NOT a rehearsal!"

Late last night I watched doc #EveryLittleThing by Sally Aiken. About a woman who rescues & rehabilitates hummingbirds. It was lovely. It was about all of the drama I could handle yesterday. Now I understand why my Grandmother watched so many nature docs On @kanopy.com #nfotd

Currently reading McBride's "The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store." Book is incredible. Exact kind of narrative I want to shoot. I call "dibs" on being the DP if/when it is turned into a film. Per IMDBPro, Spielberg has it. So anyone who loves me, put in a good word with Steven. Kthx.

I took this photo of three hyenas in Kenya and couldn't understand why I found the image so satisfying until I remembered #DaysOfHeaven and #ChristinasWorld. My love for Terrence Malick and Andrew Wyeth has more influence over me than I realized.

So grateful to Daily Bunny. bsky.app/profile/will...

I thought I had seen it all. Until I watched #HisAndHers. Thoroughly entertaining.

"Swimming with Humpback Whales. 4 Islands in 5 Days in Tahiti" I went to the French Polynesian Islands (which most of us refer to as Tahiti), in the fall of 2023. Almost every single one of my plans fell apart. The weather was often cloudy or rainy. And it was still paradise.

🙂

Chloe Zhao’s look of absolute shock is priceless. I don’t know her but am so happy for her. I loved all of the nominees and love that she won.

LOVE when an actor, director or producer thanks and names the below the line crew during their award acceptance speech.

Proud of my city

Plenty of Time #Underground on the NYC Subway. Shot on #35mm with a #Leica.

This is a feel good script idea just waiting to happen. bsky.app/profile/land...

The Cardiff Lions do an annual Drag Rugby charity match for children’s charities and it’s as beautiful as you imagined

The guy who first dressed as Portland Frog, a major symbol of our protest and then other national protests, has been arrested while peacefully protesting. Prints of this painting by Simran Gleason are being sold to support his defense. www.simrangleason.com/prints/p/por... #pdx #protest

this is really just the tip of the iceberg. if you are in minneapolis please continue to spread the word about Defend612.com ans the Monarcha line

Anti-ICE protesters are having a rolling noise demo and protest in downtown Minneapolis targeting hotels where federal agents are reportedly staying -- starting at the Canopy by Hilton and going to the Renaissance Minneapolis Hotel. Police have just arrived as we are posting this.

Last year, a movie about a family torn apart under a fascist American regime came and went. You probably didn't even know it existed — but now 'Anniversary' is available to stream, and worth watching.

This evening I am watching doc #CoverUp directed by Laura Poitras & Mark Obenhaus. I gotta support the filmmakers "doing the work". Esp when too many are being shelved or buried. #nfotd www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CxE...

“Moviemaking Before Men The early history of women making movies”

BREAKING: Jack Smith to testify publicly before Congress. MS NOW's Mychael Schnell reports.

ICE obstructed congressional oversight of detention facilities. Some said Congress had no way to stop them. Not me. Instead, I sued ICE — and the Federal court in my lawsuit (Neguse et. al v. ICE) just recently ruled in our favor. We must keep pushing for accountability and the rule of law.

Homegirls, San Francisco — Amanda López, 2008

Enjoying a typical Gemini evening: working on a new painting, while cleaning out my film gear cabinet and editing a new substack. While prepping dinner, texting friends and scrolling BS. Also have a documentary on pause bc I want to sing along to this Doobie Bros song.

Currently watching doc "Poisoned: The Dirty Truth About Your Food". Started to say I don't even eat meat & I'm stressed. But veggies aren't safe either. When I was very little, 60 Minutes (remember them?) did a segment on chickens & salmonella poisoning. I stopped eating chicken after that. #nfotd

The Spanish version is “the left liberates, the right oppresses” and once I learned that, both screws and politics made more sense

Plz dm me if you want to get connected and trained to do ice patrols. It’s important for us to be doing everything we can to prevent ICE from stealing more of our neighbors. If you’re a person of privilege, time to use it 🚫🧊

Evening Bus. Somewhere near #GrandBaie #Mauritius. From the archives. I traveled to Mauritius in 2018 & enjoyed getting around by foot or public bus. Photo taken on my iPhone.

Apple Photos Reminds Man He Was Nude In Capitol Building 5 Years Ago

Back to my #Devs rewatch. One of my hobbies is reading about quantum physics (all DPs are nerds) and this show scratches that itch. The second viewing is rewarding. Its as much about relationships & grieving as it is a showcase for really cool visuals.

This makes me extremely happy. "Tracee Ellis Ross Strikes Development Deal With Fox Entertainment Studios" deadline.com/2026/01/trac...

call your reps snd tell them to support this reps.fyi
