who up rankin they bass

Today is the 20th anniversary of the release of Munich, the first movie my husband wrote for Steven Spielberg and a film I still can't believe got made. I am obviously biased but...just watch it. I genuinely don't think it could be done now.

wait……. are we so back???

WE WON!!!!!!

Because Bari Weiss is an opportunistic political maneuverer, it probably doesn't get said clearly enough that she is also an astounding clod, in wildly over her head. The fact that she seems to have spiked this story without realizing this would happen tells you all you need to know about her.

So Bari Weiss’s first real editorial intervention at CBS is to repress coverage of American concentration camps.

I've spent the last 5 years on a book about the complex relationship between pop culture and the gay rights movement. This thread is a good reminder that art can do a great deal, but it's slow and cumulative. It gives people new ways to think, but it's not its job to "fix" things, and it doesn't.

dont threaten me with a good time! 🐦‍⬛

RIP Rosa von Praunheim, truly one of the best to ever do it. A brilliant provocateur, an artist of the highest order, forever eager to mash genres, someone who wanted more and better for queer people, someone not afraid to stand against the tide and be proven right again and again. Thank you. ♥️

MARTY SUPREME needed more Fran Drescher and Sandra Bernhard

the human mind was not made to handle receiving 23 emails a day from MyHeartDiseaseTeam and PASTA LOUISE

Lady Gaga being a Dinah Washington stan is literally so important to me youtu.be/yodoncZ7t5M?...

ALL THAT JAZZ’s grandiosity (complimentary) is only outmatched by its self-loathing. What a picture! Ben Vereen’s eyes between his spread fingers, Air-otica dancers framed by a drum kit, a row of dancers’ legs extended and dragged across the floor. Fosse’s eye was razor sharp.

The Spotify Wrappification of everything has gotten out of hand. No [X retailer], I *do not* wish to look back fondly on how many times I bought shoes from you this year and how much money I supposedly saved doing it

the most annoying people who claim to be anti AI keep posting the dumbest chatgpt “bits” in my field of vision and it makes me really cranky

Maybe we can do the chattel slavery version of AVATAR next. Get Matt Damon in a wheelchair mind-swapped with a Black cat alien in a Deep South planet. Let's see if anyone gives a shit about cultural appropriation then.

I am known hater of these films but if you wanted a thoughtful look from someone who tried their damndest to give these storyless wonders a shot:

I’m very curious to know (and would love to read about) how Black audiences for Liberation feel about all the apologetics the play contains for its Black characters. do those moments feel necessary and welcome? Does it need them?

Not enough people on here are talking about Lady Gaga’s Harlequin concert special imo

I agree. Either he didn't disclose it to his editors either and this is a colossal violation of conflict-of-interest rules, or he did, in which case someone has a monumental amount of explaining to do.

As David Byrne’s American Utopia dances into the Criterion Collection, Robert Daniels tracks the musical career of the concert film’s director, Spike Lee, and his gift for translating political, social and racial themes through balletic movement. boxd.it/2SC

all the best mysteries are less about the mystery than the sense of "normalcy" that is disrupted and what it reveals about the people involved

I've noticed that among movie lovers here, lately there's a renewed appreciation of the craft and polish of '80s/'90s studio movies--their pleasure and polish, their entertainment value. Rob Reiner's early filmography is such a good way to understand that. He knew how to deliver. A true craftsman. >

One Battle After Another flip it around Killers of the Flower Moon

them: “are you watching Heated Rivalry?” me:

was literally just talking about RUMOR HAS IT... the other day

Rob Reiner was one of the key people behind the effort to go to court to overturn California's anti-marriage equality Proposition 8 when it passed in 2008. Working with Chad Griffin, they founded the American Foundation for Equal Rights and got Ted Olson and David Boies to team up to fight Prop 8.

i watched WHEN HARRY MET SALLY... nearly every single day of my sophomore year of high school. an extraordinary film about the blurry lines of friendship and romance and how what you want from them both changes over time and also has a core that doesn't ever really change

lousy last 24 hours!

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing. All from his movies.

everyday i think about that line from MISTRESS AMERICA where Cindy Cheung is like, “I don't even like the writing. Like your whole generation, it's all pastiche!”

not the LaGuardia High School production of WEST SIDE STORY wrecking me

do not come for me and my idea of a good time 🍿 🥤

for the Wednesday crowd, my fave films about the art world from 2025!!! #filmsky #film #lists #art
