Stressed, overwhelmed, frustrated, tired, but through it all please know that the parody abstinence duet from Girls5eva has been on a loop in my head for several days straight which is a fun little joke my brain is playing on me www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlAR...

Visited the Walter Gropius House yesterday with one of my art history nerd friends (who has multiple Bauhaus tattoos so they were in heaven haha) and wow what a gorgeous and well-maintained space, one of the best house museums I’ve ever been to I’d say 😍

Good movie! Was sad I didn’t get to see it in a theater. NYC take advantage of this!

404 Media is making a print zine! About the surveillance technologies used by ICE. 16 pages, riso printed. Shipping early January. Features reworked versions of our best reporting and a few new things. We're very excited! And hope to do more if people like it: www.404media.co/404-media-is...

Collage works by American artist MaryKate Maher, 2020s, whose compositions incorporate photo papers and different textures with forms inspired by rocks, flowers, and liminal spaces.

in the end, the future of cinema is Hundreds of Beavers

Just found out my book CINEMA HER WAY was named one of the best books of the year by Sight and Sound! Shout out to @nigelcsmith.bsky.social for giving me the heads up!

I thought it was very cool that the barista at Diesel recognized my scarf as a film strip design! My coworker got me this exceedingly on-brand scarf last year and I’m always psyched to wear it 😍

idk i am thinking about all the classic gems I've been introduced to through indie theatrical screenings, especially on film since DCP's aren't always available, and I feel like that might become more important than ever but also worry about decline in studio support for rep screenings...

The season is upon us! 35mm screenings of It’s a Wonderful Life at @brattletheatre.bsky.social run 12/12-15 🔔🔔🔔 I love projecting this for a crowd, everyone’s laughing and crying and just feeling the communal good will, it’s nice!

I saw an ad for some phone where a couple is at an art museum and instead of reading wall labels, using museum-provided tours/audio guides, or just taking in the art independently for themselves, they used a fucking AI "companion" to "guide" them, very likely incorrectly, and I took that PERSONALLY

Remembering legendary and influential, Oscar-nominated film editor Dede Allen, on her 102nd birthday, famous for her work on films like The Hustler, Bonnie and Clyde, Dog Day Afternoon, and Reds, and collaborations with Arthur Penn, Sidney Lumet, Robert Wise, Elia Kazan, and George Roy Hill.

JUPITER ASCENDING (35MM) - I love this now? The Wachowski Sisters take such a sincere approach to their big pulpy space opera that evokes everything from Frank Herbert to FLASH GORDON. It’s silly and endearingly so. There’s also a literal elephant man. @alexxkittle.bsky.social ftw!

My relationship with the 2015 paranormal holiday romance “The Spirit of Christmas” has somehow gradually developed into one of the longest and most important relationships of my life. (Indicative of my maturation into someone less irony-pilled, embracing my true cheesy self)

I'm excited to share my first cover story is a profile of and conversation with filmmaker Brittany Shyne about her brilliant documentary SEEDS for @documentary.org. You can pick it up in stores, or read it online: documentary.org/feature/idas...

Wednesday at @brattletheatre.bsky.social I am very psyched to close out our Chicago series by running a beautiful 35mm print of Jupiter Ascending 🙌🙌

ok the original run had a printing error but I'm getting a replacement order sent hopefully by the end of the week, and will be mailing out all pre-orders asap so if you still want to order now it'll go out next week for sure (barring another catastrophe)

BTW: Everyone who orders anything from our store gets a free whistle. Comes in handy this winter. Because ice is everywhere.

Fave new views in Nov: Resurrection (2025) Panic Room No Other Choice The Testament of Ann Lee Election (2005) Cry Danger Copycat Peter Hujar’s Day The Cobweb The Ice Tower Sorry, Baby The Room Next Door Mad Detective

KPop Demon Hunters is fun! I dug the animation and musical action scenes, though the style of music isn't really for me! I am once again imploring anyone with even a cursory interest in women-centric pop music to watch Girls5Eva!!!!!!! These thoughts ARE connected!

Here is a nice floor in Lincoln Park.

i've tried to get some stuff done today despite multiple hurdles so if i just heat up the bolognese sauce I made last week and take a gummy and watch one of the Johnnie To movies expiring from criterion channel that is gonna have to be OKAY

ACTUALLY TURNS OUT ALMOST THE ENTIRE PRINT ORDER HAS A HUGE LINE SCRATCHED ACROSS THE FIRE WALK WITH ME ILLUSTRATION SO UHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I just found out I might not be able to vend at the holiday markets I was planning on because there was a glitch with my application and I've been too overwhelmed with other stuff to realize I hadn't heard back from them. I feel very stupid about this but anyway my online store is more crucial now

I’ll take real photos tomorrow but you after midnight bskyers get a sneak peek at the printed Lynch calendar! www.etsy.com/listing/4366...

These are sitting outside my apt door right now so will verify when I get home from work but unless there’s a printing issue or something I’ll be spending tomorrow packing up calendar orders to ship Mon and Tues! www.etsy.com/listing/4366...

Just noticed it’s her bday today hbd Gloria

i need to cook things for friendsgiving and this post is to make me get up from the couch and do it! i can still watch the mst3k turkey day marathon in the kitchen but it's so hard to get up gd it

I’ve always gotten that question at markets like “is this *all* *YOUR* artwork?” and I’m usually like “Obviously? Why tf do you think I’m here selling it??” But now the implication it’s AI makes it way more insidious and I hate feeling like I have to prove myself to everyone who can’t see my labor

It’s been a rough few weeks but projecting and also dance partying with the Blues Bros is really perking me up 🕺🎞️

FYI: Remembering genre legend Udo Kier, who has sadly passed away at 81 years old.

Thanks to everyone who came out to Noirvember screenings at @thecoolidge.bsky.social celebrating major fave Gloria Grahame, and especially those who stayed for the post-screening discussions I led! Here’s a little sketch I printed for last night’s attendees as a thank you gift❤️

Thank you to @slashfilm.bsky.social for including CINEMA HER WAY in their gift guide. www.slashfilm.com/2019350/holi...

look I'm extremely not feeling promote-y or salesman-y this season but i just made the grave mistake of looking at my bank account so i should probably lyk there's a sale on in my etsy store this week: www.etsy.com/shop/panands...

Literally the last theatrical movie I saw pre-covid because the HFA had a preview screening on March 9, 2020 with Reichardt in attendance

Today in 1988 Mystery Science Theater 3000 premiered on KTMA in St. Paul Minnesota. #MST3K

Wednesday night at @brattletheatre.bsky.social we are kicking off a series celebrating Chicago with a personal teen fave on 35mm 🚓😎🎷

I’m the one on the far left atm

This Thanksgiving, we celebrate the Windy City with our weeklong series, Give Thanks for Chicago. Join us Nov 26 – Dec 3 for a whirlwind tour featuring films by John Hughes, Rose Troche, Lilly & Lana Wachowski, John Landis, Nia DaCosta, and more! brattlefilm.org/film-series/give-thanks-for-chicago/

Trying to think about literally anything else I just noticed I hit 200 yesterday for movies projected on 35mm (individual titles, not the amount of screenings or even prints), that’s neat imo boxd.it/m0kMy

Really excited to share that I will be part of the Science Comics Carousel at MICE this year on December 6th from 1-2PM. I'll be reading from my new comic, BRAINS, which is a love letter to the brain and a giant middle finger to AI and I hope to see you there! mice2025.sched.com/event/2Bdqa/...

Uhtceare [OOT-kee-AHR-ay] (n.) - That all-too-familiar variety of pre-dawn anxiety, when one is lying awake and worrying about things. Used in a sentence: “It’s five in the morning and I’m lying here worrying about the effect uhtceare is having on my job performance!”

Saw Peter Hujar’s Day last week and loved it, and I’m excited we got it on 35mm for a short run at @brattletheatre.bsky.social Fri-Tues! Shot on 16mm, there’s a lovely warmth and texture to this movie, evocative of the mid-70s setting, it’s gonna look so great on film

At WBUR this week I reviewed the remarkable PETER HUJAR’S DAY, which screens tomorrow through Wednesday on 35mm at the Brattle Theatre.

OK LYNCH CALENDARS HAVE BEEN ORDERED AHHHH tysm to all who pre-ordered, I really appreciate it since the printing cost was pretty steep. I'll be shipping them out within the next two weeks! You can still order now; get in on the ground floor of this hot gift item 😎 www.etsy.com/listing/4366...
