i am opposed to all further tolkien adaptations except if i can convince the estate to trust me with the rights to the story of beren and luthien

I know it’s easier from a production standpoint but I am so fucking sick of shows set in New York where everyone drives

not our apartment’s lights flickering at the same time as those on the TV (widow’s bay)

it’s coming to miami

this is so beautiful i teared up!

wherever a red light is being run. whenever a school zone limit is willfully ignored. wherever there's a crosswalk to fully block. whenever someone is being aggressively tailgated. stop and listen. you'll hear "altima" on the wind

when i transitioned, i never thought i'd play baseball again. now we're in our fourth season of trans girl baseball here in new york, and—even though i say this all the time—it really did change my life! i wrote about tgirl baseball and what it means to us for @defector.com (link below!)

tolkien wouldn't have been aware of homo floresiensis but like if you want to be "realistic" about hobbit diversity there's no way these guys looked like elijah wood

me: weird long island city seems to be disappearing outside my window also me: huh why does it feel like i'm not able to properly fill my lungs right now

i was prepared to loathe Mother! but man it hit me like a truck (complimentary)

no money to track the explosive diarrhea outbreak though

The Luddites' actual argument was that automated looms meant expensive, skilled workers were being replaced with literal children, who were then getting maimed and killed, and maybe this is bad.

why are there all these articles in the trades about short films now

swatted a fly against the wall and it had WRITHING MAGGOTS inside it????????

I respect France's commitment to not working on a holiday.

how are these offsides rules worse than the NFL’s “football move”

THANK YOU to everyone who donated, reposted, or even just saw this and thought "huh that looks neat" we've got enough to pay a sound mixer, colorist, composer, maybe try and license some music even! production is nearly finished, and our goal is to be done with post by february 2027!

WE DID IT — thanks to you, we’ll be restoring four films that we think you’re really going to love. Since we’ve still got a full week left, we want to take things further: if we can raise another $10k, we’ll be able to strike a new 35mm print of PUMPING IRON II. www.kickstarter.com/projects/mus...

*a sigh so deep and long my spirit gets caught in it and is carried out of my body*

Our doc is about human-made art and the people who share it; the communities that form, the friendships, the sense of shared space and experience. We've got one day left in our crowdfunding campaign and every dollar raised goes directly to the film. Check it out! www.kickstarter.com/projects/swp...

this video gives a pretty good sense of the whirlwind journey we've been on!

there's no reason to accept the ad agency's claim that they're going to AI-generated a feature film. you don't have to repeat it

real commitment to filmmaking

the thing about opening a used bookstore in queens is that everyone is SO excited and there are a lot of very good spaces, but commercial rent is a billion dollars a month & landlords are content to let those spaces stay empty for literal *years* instead of lowering the cost. frustrating! gross!

i got myself stupid sunburned shooting at drive-ins in PA all weekend but the footage looks GREAT, i know times are tough but even just a few bucks can help us get this baby into incredible shape

got to deliver the news that lindsey graham had died to a delightful older couple, they reacted with immediate joy

by the end of this doc i am going to be a pretty competent cam op and i'm proud of that

I really kinda feel like all the news reports on this are burying the lede. Which should "The only way a Cyclospora outbreak can happen is if raw sewage is getting onto the food."

so one thing we've been hearing as we go around the country interviewing people at independent theaters is that letterboxd has definitely been a factor in young people getting into going to theaters, especially independents with curated programming

normie-posting: met some really lovely people shooting at the mahoning drive-in today :)

If a rich dude finds a way to square exploitation with his faith, know that his faith is just a fig leaf or virtue signal.
