A FAMILY OF FRIKS????

Taylor Swift has crashed the AMC app

Thank you, GQ, for giving me an opportunity to type out "BA BA BA BA BASKETBALL GIMME GIMME GIMME THE BALL BECAUSE I’M GONNA DUNK IT!" www.gq.com/story/tim-ro...

"America may not be an actual autocracy. But it increasingly seems to be playing one on TV." [giftie] www.nytimes.com/2025/09/18/a...

Saw one of the best studio movies I've seen in ages this week (One Battle) and one of the worst (Him)

The Kimmel cancellation reminded me of the final paragraphs of the essay I wrote about Trump, TV and humor back in 2017:

NEW: ABC puts JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE on hiatus after conservative backlash, station group and FCC chair pressure network over Kirk comment. Details at @vulture: www.vulture.com/article/abc-...

Yeah, it is the best and most essential of the year www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

This was SUCH a joy. I spoke to the drag queens who are already doing Gladys from Weapons. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/17/m...

More Robert Redford: @ezwrites.bsky.social: www.nytimes.com/2025/09/16/m... @nicolasrapold.bsky.social: www.ft.com/content/7fd2... From Us, on Condor, via @cineastemagazine.bsky.social: midcenturycinema.org/wp-content/u... @theamynicholson.bsky.social: www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

Yesterday I wrote about the partnership between Newman and Redford, not quite the best friendship one might hope, but something more complicated and full of pranks www.nytimes.com/2025/09/16/m...

It's worth noting as you plan your tribute watching that multiple Redford movies essentially explain where we are as a country and are as relevant now as they were in the 1970s: All the President's Men, The Candidate, Three Days of the Condor

Holy Christ, if a cultural institution like Rolling Stone is letting go of an absolute giant like @sepinwall.bsky.social ... we are in dark times man alansepinwall.ghost.io/dont-stop-be...

To one of the greats www.nytimes.com/2025/09/16/m...

A perfect swan song.

JEFF HILLER!!!!!!!!!!

Need a gif of Colin Farrell grooving to Thank You for Being a Friend STAT

I have seen it before but 70MM at The Paris on the big screen for the first time an overwhelming experience

Amadeus! One of the greatest films ever made!

Some superlatives from TIFF www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Same

Maude Apatow's directorial debut is really good! Cooper Hoffman and Andrew Barth Feldman are just absolutely magnetic together! www.indiewire.com/criticism/mo...

Also: I'm at TIFF. Sydney Sweeney very well might get an Oscar nomination for the boxing biopic CHRISTY. I spoke to director David Michod about adapting Christy Martin's grim story. time.com/7314527/chri...

Some news: I am writing a book about GIRLS

So excited about this deal. @ezwrites.bsky.social is gonna write an amazing book.

Can't wait to go back to the Bone Temple. I just love that Bone Temple.

I don't like what stylists are doing at Venice!!! Let's step it up for awards season!!

It’s a movie about a woman who chooses celibacy but the musical sequences are orgasmic

The fall festival movie I have been most wowed by so far is The Testament of Ann Lee, which is an ecstatic experience.

Huge for me

Here's a primer on The Paper, a show in which Sabrina Impacciatore pronounces words in the most hilarious ways you could imagine www.nytimes.com/2025/08/29/a...

Also on Caught Stealing, I wrote about Austin Butler: Movie Star time.com/7312830/aust...

Wrote about the very good cat in Caught Stealing www.nytimes.com/2025/08/29/m...

"also known as Stavvy"

CORRECTIONS ERASURE

Can't believe I am planning a wedding in the era of Taylor Swift planning a wedding

I will never, ever watch this movie (ever, EVER) but this did answer all the questions that have been bugging me. NEWS YOU CAN USE!

Want to watch this.

If you're heading out to see Ne Zha II this weekend, I wrote a primer www.nytimes.com/2025/08/22/m...

I wrote about why we're seeing so many re-releases hit multiplexes this year. From Black Swan to Casper to Jaws. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/22/m...

Long Story Short is the most Jewish show of the year and also probably the best time.com/7310698/long...

Desperate to talk about this Coop look

Adventureland is such a great movie because basically every character is deeply depressed.

Yes, there's stuff that happens afterwards but it remains wild to me that And Just Like That ends with Victor Garber looking at a toilet overflowing with shit.

The Life of a Showgirl

Mr. Wonderful Oscar run

Richard is the best! This is bullshit!

I rambled about Weapons and theories and why the inexplicable is so scary www.gq.com/story/everyt...

The supporting cast for Marty Supreme is absolutely bonkers. Gwyneth! Mr. Wonderful! Abel Ferrara! Fran Drescher!
