It’s so funny when people pretend that they’ve seen classic films, but they can only speak in depth about movies that have been nominated for Oscars in the past 10 years.

If you’re looking for a movie this year that puts a modern spin on Greek mythology and expertly explores political power and hubris, I have one for you:

He was giving me James Spader in this performance (highly complimentary, of course).

Loved individual sections of THE ODYSSEY, but as an adaptation of something known for its rhythm, it’s incredibly clunky. Samantha Morton is an incredible Circe. More thoughts to come about specific sections as more people see it.

One of the greatest winners of the Best Supporting Actress Oscar.

With all of the issues that Nolan has had writing women, I’m very curious to see how he tackles “The Odyssey.” Even more curious to see how many women review the film.

A joy to get to talk about one of my favorite movies with @shhhitsgavin.bsky.social and @chels725.bsky.social!

Why do I always feel the impulse to treat this app like my personal place to vent

It’s very funny when you find yourself in group project-like situations as an adult where you do a lot of the heavy lifting and have about one other person who put in the work too.

Absolutely obsessed with the new cat my sister is getting 💖

I have to say, it’s been really depressing to see so many women in particular enforcing what they still don’t see to be a conservative agenda. Marriage is still apparently an end goal that will ultimately give your life meaning.

The wretched excess of the Swift wedding (shutting down city blocks during a holiday weekend, etc) in the current climate makes me think of the French Revolution ngl

Fingers crossed that the people around me today choose to wear the deodorant with the chemicals

Can’t wait to see this again tonight. The opening alone makes it feel like a movie Diane Keaton would’ve been in in the ‘70s.

The end of June really has become just an annual barrage of terror from SCOTUS

The weather this week

Being in the ‘90s in my Supporting Actress winners marathon means I’m on my third Woody Allen movie this week

How I felt shushing the kids behind me who were showing off by laughing throughout the apparently hilarious DOG DAY AFTERNOON

The Supporting Actress winners marathon continues tonight with:

Happy Birthday to the Queen 💙

We have made it to the ‘80s in the Supporting Actress winners watch…

The streets in my neighborhood can only be described as Bedford Falls at the end of It’s A Wonderful Life. Greatest city in the world!

Translation for non-sports people: Moonlight has just beaten La La Land for Best Picture.

ELECTRIC

Obsession’s fanbase makes the people with the Wicked bubble profile pics from last year look tame.

New York is like NETWORK tonight. Apartment windows are opening and people are screaming about their Knicks. Greatest city on earth.

The modern-day Odysseus

I mean come on!

We activated our finest Bond Girlie @sophiacim.bsky.social to cover one of our hottest films

The Scorsese AI news is just so depressing

Penelope is a stronger woman than me. I simply would not reject this man for Matt Damon.

Tonight is finally the night for the Supporting Actress rewatch I’ve been waiting for:

We all know why she’s writing a song for that upcoming animated movie

"Nikki isn't the villain in Obsession, Bear is." CORRECT! That does not, however, prevent the movie from treating her like a psycho girlfriend trope. The movie is playing to male anxieties while pretending to be a feminist text on "nice guys" trying to possesses women.

The Supporting Actress watches continue tonight with a double feature:

Bravely chiming in to say that the best performance in a horror movie this year is still Ralph Fiennes in 28 YEARS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE.

Went to view the Diane Keaton auction at Bonhams this morning and it took everything in me not to burst into tears on the scene.

The absolute entitlement from some film critics who get to spend time at one of the most prestigious film festivals in the world only to write disparaging articles calling it a flop.

An aspect of the death of journalism we don’t talk enough about are the “journalists” & “critics” wanting to be influencers more than writers & caring more about being thought leaders in their Substacks than their actual craft

It’s so funny to me when people who haven’t seen a movie (or slept through it) have such strong opinions about it

Have any women written about OBSESSION? Hated this one with the fire of a thousand suns…

‘Minotaur’ Review: Andrey Zvyagintsev’s Timeless, Domestic Epic is an Unflinching Look at Putin’s Russia [A] Cannes

Preferred the visual language of MINOTAUR to the overly didactic FJORD, but I’m absolutely thrilled it wasn’t HOPE

@tfuturist.bsky.social, I think you will really enjoy the new Hamaguchi film, ALL OF A SUDDEN.

I love Cannes. Today I have an event called “Rendezvous with Cate Blanchett”

And somehow a movie with CGI sheep made me cry

Was just reminded that Pino Donaggio is the composer for the new Nicolas Winding Refn
