We are going to keep releasing posters for Sam Raimi's SEND HELP until morale improves.

Me at anyone’s house looking at their dvd collection

He’s never met a single cinephile in his life

Not to pile on the hype but THE BONE TEMPLE is the real deal — the type of legacy sequel that is reverential but is also willingly doing its own insane thing that nobody could have ever seen coming back in 2002. All hail Ralph Fiennes, a true madman and treasure.

28 YEARS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE is a continuation that looks at the bones of Britain with a lens not aimed at the terror of the infected, but on a nightmare of human making. As it unfolds, missing humanity is profoundly found behind the infected gaze. My review: nerdspin.com/28-years-lat...

over the course of 1871, congress held seven months of hearings on ku klux klan and other white vigilante violence in the south, they took detailed testimony from hundreds of black men and women attesting to klan terror. (1/?)

Getting excited for Sundance especially the documentaries I have tickets for. Every year it’s the docs that impress me the most and this year they have THE STORY OF DOCUMENTARY FILM which is a documentary…about documentaries! So I’m extra hyped for that

BREAKING: Jeff Bezos’ ex-wife has made a “transformational” donation to the LGBTQ+ advocacy group. This large gift comes just months after the Trump administration shut down counseling services for queer youth. My latest for @wired.com:

The most important physical media purchase i have ever made actually

The ICE agent who shot Marimar Martinez in Chicago tried to goad her out of her car. He said “do something b*tch” and shot her 5 times. The ICE agent who shot Nicole Renee Good did the same thing. Stood right in front of her vehicle and yelled “f*cking bitch”. They hate women & it shows.

Sebastian Stan will be playing Harvey Dent in ‘The Batman 2’ 🎭🦇 (via THR)

LOS ANGELES: ICE is prowling Silverlake & the hills

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

Vigil for Renee Good here in front of Wisconsin’s capitol building right now:

I really gotta appreciate how seamless Sundance ticketing is every year

Where SINNERS blends a potent mix of music, movement and culture, THE TESTAMENT OF ANN LEE blends a potent mix of music, movement and religion. What an incredible year for song in film.

Nice to see @saraclements.bsky.social getting a shout out by @letterboxd.social on a post about one of the most important films of 2026: The Voice of Hind Rajab www.instagram.com/p/DS200JOkVA...

📚2026 book thread📚

A new year means a new announcement: I am now a member of the Alliance of Women Film Journalists (@awfjorg.bsky.social)! I’m excited to see what this opportunity will bring 😊

Caught up on RENTAL FAMILY and what a charming little movie. I’m so glad to see brendan fraser again. He brings such a comforting warmth to the screen

I still have some catch-up to do but here are my 10 favourite films of 2025 ALL THAT’S LEFT OF YOU TRAIN DREAMS 28 YEARS LATER SINNERS ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER FRANKENSTEIN SENTIMENTAL VALUE WAKE UP DEAD MAN ZOOTOPIA 2 BLACK BAG

My christmas tree lights all died this is brigitte bardot’s fault

Too many posts celebrating brigitte bardot open the schools

There’s a little too much going on in MARTY SUPREME with a rattling cacophony of subplots, yet Safdie finds a ferocious, propulsive energy. Chalamet is a live-wire, dissecting the friction between ego & vulnerability. A poignant look at the cost of dreams & what truly matters.

Thoughts on this game

Obsessed with everything Oona Chaplin is doing in AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH. She commands the screen & sets it ablaze with fury. Her Varang moves with a mighty understanding of her power & sexuality & has such a dominating presence. I hope she has a role in the rest of the franchise. #FilmSky

Found Train Dreams quite lovely and profound, and it's hung with me all day since seeing it. Most movies could do a lot worse than just having Joel Edgerton wander around beautiful natural landscapes, meeting great character actors, while Will Patton fills in his inner monologue.

#NowWatching + THE ODYSSEY prologue

Loser at the theatre all by herself eating a soft pretzel

A couple days later & Rose Byrne’s performance in IF I HAD LEGS I’D KICK YOU still lingers in my mind. A raw & unflinching turn that captures a mother on the brink with astonishing emotional precision. How it crafts a portal into her psyche using a hole in her ceiling is perfect.

KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON CRITERION

Did THE canadian winter activity today 😋😋

Bi Gan’s RESURRECTION drifts through cinema’s subconscious. From silent film to German expressionism to noir & sci-fi, each era a different dream language. Its imagery suggesting that movies live inside us; a collective dreaming, even as it feels like those dreams are fading.

Happy 100th birthday to Dick Van Dyke. Born on this day, 1925.

Only two minutes into Bi Gan’s RESURRECTION and I’m already like

If you need a documentary recommendation, here it is:

Seemed as good a time as any time to revive a 2002 @siffnews.bsky.social piece I wrote about Douglas Sirk, melodrama (as something other than a pejorative), and the critics, filmmakers, and critic/filmmakers who saw the value in his work and took inspiration from it. @seattlecritics.bsky.social

lol

Another year. Another Sundance. 🤩

I’m due for a marathon of THE THIN MAN so this came just in time ahead of the holiday break #FilmSky #PhysicalMedia

HAMNET turns grief into art, showing how stories help us survive what breaks us, provide a kind of catharsis & communal healing. Jessie Buckley is shattering & sublime, grounding the film’s ache in something raw & human. Heartbreaking, affecting, beautiful. Bravo, Chloé Zhao.

Donald Trump said he’ll “be involved in” deciding if Netflix can buy Warner Bros. Is that an open invite for CEOs to curry favor with Trump in exchange for merger approvals? It should be an independent decision by the Department of Justice based on the law and facts.

Latest movie saved from Netflix/WB #FilmSky #PhysicalMedia

Had a DIE MY LOVE and PREDATOR: BADLANDS double feature tonight and ended up loving the latter way more. Really digging what Dan Trachtenberg is doing with this franchise and I hope it continues

Okay i panic bought some old movies being sold under WB labels. Some of these are already getting hard to buy. NINOTCHKA DANCING LADY CAMILLE MRS MINIVER THE SHOP AROUND THE CORNER CHRISTMAS IN CONNECTICUT THE THIN MAN THE MALTESE FALCON BABY JANE VICTOR/VICTORIA

Big thanks to @letterboxd.social and @mitchellbeaupre.bsky.social for letting me go long about two of my favorite things: Christmas movies and erotica. Tis the season!
