Hi Zohran, both me and Kate live four blocks from Gracie Mansion. Do you want to come over for movie night? We could also come to your new house if that’s better for you. Have you seen Staying Alive or Flashdance?

Time for my favorite sport: men crying.

For its 40th anniversary I did a big piece on the complicated, ever evolving legacy of A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 2: FREDDY’S REVENGE and talked to Robert Englund and director Jack Sholder www.indiewire.com/features/int...

Filmmaker Jan Komasa started dreaming up his ANNIVERSARY -- about a family, and a country, torn apart by political ideology -- six years ago, when it felt like "sci-fi." It's not anymore. www.indiewire.com/features/int...

Quite happy to merge two of my favorite obsessions — talking about the extraordinary SORRY, BABY and Eva Victor plus my horrible hamster experience as a child — in this interview that I hope captures even a dash of why this film and its maker are so very special: www.indiewire.com/features/int...

It took nearly FOUR HOURS, but I had a hell of a good time picking the Gotham nominees for both Best Feature and Best International Feature alongside @tomilaffly.bsky.social, @justincchang.bsky.social, @davidlfear.bsky.social, and Peter Debruge. www.indiewire.com/awards/resul...

In which I involve the entire IW staff in a piece, simply so that I can recommend spending Halloween in a comfy jacket and cuddling a kitten: www.indiewire.com/gallery/hall...

I’m living my truth!!! www.indiewire.com/criticism/sh...

I spoke to Scott Cooper about SPRINGSTEEN: DELIVER ME FROM NOWHERE. (I do know a thing or two about the subject matter.) www.indiewire.com/features/int...

REGRETTING YOU -- eh, but very good with a chatty, wacky audience. www.indiewire.com/criticism/mo...

shocked to learn that the president lied about this and also this is a horrible defacing of a building that belongs to the people of the United States, not donald trump

Legendary interview moment with the director of Morbius about Jared Leto’s behavior on the set of Morbius uproxx.com/movies/morbi...

It’s that time of year again.

You know I’m out here riding for BABY BOOM: www.indiewire.com/gallery/dian...

Even if you never read the original script for AFTER THE HUNT (which has a vastly different finale), you probably have some questions about, uh, all that. I talked to screenwriter Nora Garrett about the changes that made it to the final film: www.indiewire.com/features/int...

Dudes rock.

THE WOMAN IN CABIN 10 isn't, well, good, but I liked seeing Knightley in this register. (Even if, as a journalist, this all made me insane): www.indiewire.com/criticism/mo...

(The steam heat, that is.)

AFTER THE HUNT screenwriter Nora Garrett’s journey — trained actress to personal assistant to Meta employee to selling her first script — is wild, and she’s wonderfully open and honest about what it took: www.indiewire.com/features/int...

I talked to one of my perpetual faves about one of my favorite films of the year, from Zooming with “bucket list” director Kathryn Bigelow to her meticulous prep work and why the film left even her speechless: www.indiewire.com/features/int...

It’s MARTY SUPREME time.

Here’s me and @ryanboston.bsky.social on the Bad Bunny hosted season premiere of SNL. open.spotify.com/episode/7L0B...

This one got me. I was lucky enough to meet and moderate a chat with Jane in support of Brett Morgen's wonderful documentary a few years ago. She was so lovely, so smart, so wily, everything you'd want her to be and more. Great night to watch Brett's doc on her: www.indiewire.com/features/gen...

I spoke to the wonderful Emily Blunt about her incredible performance in THE SMASHING MACHINE, including a serendipitous meeting with Benny during OPPENHEIMER, her bond with BFF "DJ," and THAT "Jungleland" scene: www.indiewire.com/features/int...

I spoke to Benny Safdie about THE SMASHING MACHINE. I honestly didn’t know what he considered the bigger career achievement: directing Dwayne Johnson in an acclaimed performance or playing the villain in Happy Gilmore 2 bit.ly/4mEc4UM

We took a souvenir from the Deliver Me From Nowhere party

Just ran into Benny Safdie on Broadway wearing a Smashing Machine sandwich board. “I gotta take advantage of foot traffic” he says

Team VistaVision: www.indiewire.com/features/gen...

Netflix has acquired Laura Poitras and Mark Obenhaus' documentary 'Cover-Up.' Exclusive.

Still can’t quite believe this is a real movie, but the fact that Spaceballs 2 decided to unveil its cast by spoofing the Force Awakens table read photo (*and* by putting a pizza on a chair in tribute to the late great Pizza the Hutt) is an encouraging sign. screencrush.com/spaceballs-2...

Oh, man, what timing. If you’d like to celebrate Jaglom and his work, NYFF has a perfect opportunity in the coming days: a restoration of his CAN SHE BAKE A CHERRY PIE? www.filmlinc.org/nyff2025/fil...

rapture tomorrow queen? (workshopping this)

Pre-screening songs at ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER: Radiohead’s “Decks Dark,” Johnny Cash’s “The Mercy Seat,” Nat King Cole’s Perfidia,” Bob Dylan’s “Ballad of a Thin Man,” Hall and Oates’ “Maneater.”

Some may ask, “Well, didn’t Disney fire Roseanne and Gina Carano as well?” Separately, I’d mention Disney ending working with anti-Trump author Chuck Wendig as well. www.indiewire.com/news/analysi...

Hazard pay for @bentravers.bsky.social, ASAP: www.indiewire.com/criticism/sh...

I interviewed Robert Redford once, for Truth in 2015. After the interview he called me back over: “I noticed you have a notebook.” “I do.” “I also noticed you never looked at it.” “If I’m looking at my notes for the next question I’m not listening to what you’re saying.” “Good answer.”

Truly the total package. One of one.

Reading Alan is as essential as it gets if you want to know what’s going on in television and the culture at large. That he’s also a pleasure to read is like a nice little favor he does for everyone, so let’s not take it for granted, OK? Subscribe —> alansepinwall.ghost.io/dont-stop-be...

For its first international foray, the van set up outside The Lightbox to delight hundreds of eager customers.

I spoke to Michael Shannon about NUREMBERG, randomly showing up in a bunch of movies before he was famous like VANILLA SKY and CHAIN REACTION, and playing Bill Parcells. Also, LIFES RICH PAGEANT is my favorite R.E.M. album, so a lot about his upcoming tour www.indiewire.com/features/int...

Hard to explain why ending my interview with the incredibly delightful and wildly talented John Early talking about American Girl dolls makes sense, but it just does: www.indiewire.com/features/int...

Tomorrow, TIFF-goers will be treated to BAD APPLES and a Saoirse Ronan comedic performance we’ve all been dreaming of. For her first and only interview for the film, we chew it up: www.indiewire.com/features/int...
