How do I get theaters to sub in the new Laika trailer any time they have the urge to show me the trailer for the dull One Night Only??

With how people seem to talk about The Vanishing (88), I was surprised not to see ‘banality of evil’ in a single LB review

Between this and Park Chan-wook stating art and politics go hand in hand, the jury seems to have a head on its shoulders! I guess I missed the jury announcement bc it’s a great and fascinating crew

My trifecta of mom cinema has shaped up to include One True Thing, In the Gloaming, and The Deep End of the Ocean One True Thing is some of Carl Franklin’s best work and I wish he did melodrama more often—the film is fantastic with one of Renée Zellweger’s best performances

Caveat > Oddity > Hokum, but they’re all great and some of the best horror of the decade Most importantly, though, I still have no replica of this guy. I feel like Veruca Salt.. I need one desperately 😭

Y'all, please read and share this story. It's the product of months and years of hard work. The problems themselves are not simple (they're systemic) and the solutions offer their own complexities. Shout out to everyone who lent their time, experience and expertise to this story!

Sabrina Brier ‘oh!’ when someone posted about Hayley Mills in Trap the other day and I didn’t know about her appearance Finally watched and now it’s time for my biennial watch of The Parent Trap II

Happy birthday to the fabulous Ann-Margret! We're celebrating with an evening of her films beginning with BYE BYE BIRDIE ('63) at 8pm ET.

Thought of these while watching a recent film about using the medium to recreate and make sense of the past with fresh eyes. I feel like Summer 1993 in particular is more accomplished in relaying complex child psychology than it seems to get credit for, but see for yourself

A jury has found that concert giant Live Nation and its Ticketmaster subsidiary had a harmful monopoly over big concert venues, dealing the company a loss in a lawsuit over claims brought by dozens of U.S. states. https://to.pbs.org/4tQdtMi

I have some huge news! I am making my debut on a Criterion disc for their stunning 4k restoration of Neil Jordan's THE CRYING GAME. I wrote an essay for the booklet and I'm very excited for everyone to check it out. www.criterion.com/films/33812-...

Very ijbol

I needed a good laugh, despite the grim connection to the current state of the industry as a whole. Thank you, Mr. Ehrlich

Taking notes from Tom Cruise and sending a white chocolate coconut Bundt cake to anyone involved with the Roofman marketing Anyone who’s a real one was sold the second that trailer dropped last June. If you know how to read between the lines, it was an honest campaign!

a small bright spot, Maine gets one step closer to a moratorium. and there are many more similar laws up at the local level across the country

Promises won't close Rikers Island. Action will. We're announcing the opening of NYC’s first Outposted Therapeutic Housing Unit at Bellevue Hospital for people in custody with complex medical needs, including critically vulnerable Rikers Island detainees. The journey to close Rikers has begun.

It may be set in Miami, but the common denominator here is the hottest thing in Scarface

Regardless of whether these two live up to their potential, it’s nice, rejuvenating to be an audience member whose brain doesn’t have to go on autopilot after 15 minutes. Good acting, solid ensembles! The women of The Drama! Anna Baryshnikov x2!

Turns out “if you can’t rape your wife, who can you rape?” underpins our current predicament

Happy Birthday to HEATHERS + my favorite line of dialogue ever committed to film.

RJ Decker not receiving a second season could be my 13th reason Now streaming on Hulu

Still mourning Anne 😔 “He gave them to me unopened. To prove that he loved me more.” // Birth (2004), dir. Jonathan Glazer

$25 for every volume of The Complete Peanuts, which spans the full fifty years of the comic strip, is honestly one of the greatest deals ever. I'm floored.

Scream 7……. ijbol. I don’t think my father, the inventor of cinema, would be too pleased to hear about this Looking at photos of faves to remind myself that I do like the genre

Picking up regular library holds vs. ILL holds Anyway, I have no idea which De Palma book came in

Enjoyed selecting my annual Criterion haul, but still bitter about the gift codes now having expiration dates 🧐

A big takeaway this year has to be that Sinners and One Battle After Another were big, artist driven, swings bankrolled by WB whose future is ultimately unclear. I like living in a world where people like PTA and Ryan Coogler get to make the films they want to make with those resources.

The Family Stone girlies won but also experienced emotional terrorism.

Tears streaming when Amy thanked Ed and it’s only award #1

And the rest. Best of 2025. Great year and am going to miss talking about all of these. Once you’ve seen every Oscar nominee, double back and check all of these off—they’re so worth it In no particular order, except for After the Hunt

2025 film year ends tomorrow night, so time to cement my favorites I haven’t stopped thinking about After the Hunt, largely bc of Julia Roberts’ performance, but it’s only become more fascinating and there’s way too much to say in a post No. 1 faves of the decade so far:

You cannot trust digital erasure when a generation of people, who grew up on Limewire and Kazaa, are alive and (sometimes) well!

Joke’s on all of the Diane Warren haters: she’s infinitely more interesting than you’ll ever be 🙏 Her doc has its faults, but the amount of conviction in her voice when she says you absolutely have to believe in yourself first in order to succeed brought me to tears
