#OneBattleAfterAnother: My favorite Paul Thomas Anderson movie since "There Will Be Blood." Still a little overrated. #filmsky #film #movies #leonardodicaprio

Not an ideal choice for a morning screening, but "Father Mother Sister Brother" was a nice slice-of-life. Get a full night's sleep beforehand. Just sayin' #NYFF #NYFF63 #filmsky

I didn't like "If I Had Legs I'd Kick You," but I don't think I was supposed to? It's very good at making you feel very bad --> open.substack.com/pub/danielmo...

I liked "It Was Just an Accident" and had ... feelings about "If I Had Legs I'd Kick You" #NYFF #NYFF63 #filmsky

Surreal moment for America. Needless to say, if the normal police ever pulled something like this — pulling every single person out of an apartment building and handcuffing them to run warrant checks — they would be sued into oblivion. Yet ICE is going to get away with it entirely.

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.

#APrivateLife boasts a fascinating protagonist played by Jodie Foster, but she's more interesting than the mystery she's trying to solve. My thoughts here: danielmontgomery3.substack.com/p/nyff-senti... #nyff #nyff63 #nyff2025 #filmsky

My thoughts on #SentimentalValue at #NYFF63, a terrific film about family legacy and generational trauma. #NYFF #filmsky

Remember when Batman, the vigilante billionaire, got access to everybody's cell phones in "The Dark Knight" but decided that was too much power for anyone to have? 2008 was a more innocent time, I guess

Been seeing snippets of Pete Hegseth bloviating at the troops this morning. Anyone who has seen "A House of Dynamite," can you imagine how epically fucked we'd be with these whiny, insecure shitposters in charge?

can you imagine sitting in that audience as a three-star flag officer — decades in the service, multiple post-grad degrees and a virtually unequaled level of command expertise — and being forced to watch this dunderheaded dry drunk give an off-brand jordan belfort seminar?

I don’t know if these old guard Democrats can’t look at the road we’re on or won’t look at it, but either way they shouldn’t be at the wheel.

"After we rob your house, you are invited to opt out from our Goods Removal Service, after which point we are willing to work with you to come to an arrangement about removing your personal goods. Meet our negotiators, Knuckles and Tiny. They will be assisting in your opting back in."

David Cross folks.

On Last Week Tonight, John Oliver tore into Netanyahu for Gaza’s suffering and war crimes, his corruption scandals, and for obstructing a ceasefire—calling him “an asshole and a son of a bitch.” When Oliver brought up Palestinian state recognition, the HBO studio audience erupted in applause.

“AI actress Tilly Norwood…” It is not an actress. It is created via AI. It is not real. It is not human. It is made-up. Stop giving IT a human name. It is not a she, it is an IT. A nothing. Please stop.

I really don't like to pick on the same people over and over, but Hakeem Jeffries and Ezra Klein won't stop saying things.

If your Klein be Naomi, then listen, homie; But if your Klein be Ezra, disregard what he sezra

#AfterTheHunt: "Gratefully, I don’t think it tries to argue that feminism has gone to far. Unfortunately, the film is so stubbornly ambiguous that I found it difficult to discern any position in particular" --> danielmontgomery3.substack.com/p/nyff-after... #filmsky

Ronan Day Lewis is a promising director, and Daniel Day Lewis gives good monologue, but I found #Anemone mostly frustrating at the New York Film Festival. #nyff #nyff63 #film #filmsky

So far today, Chuck Schumer has said his strategy for preventing Trump sending troops into blue cities is to win over Republican senators (!) while Hakeem Jeffries praised Eric Adams's courage and authenticity (!!) while refusing to endorse Mamdani. Again. These two gotta go.

America is full of Nazis. We have been since probably before the actual Nazis. Probably going back to the abandonment of Reconstruction. We've never had an honest cultural conversation about that. The Nazis/Confederates didn't lose their wars. They stood back and stood by.

it is just a straightforward statement of fact to say that the trump administration sees any black student at an elite institution as one too many

I suppose you could argue that we're all giving money to or taking money from people with blood on their hands a lot of the time in this world. Who am I to judge? However, if you're successful enough to have "Fuck you" money, then fuck you for not saying no.

If you think Trump deploying troops in American cities is nothing more than an opportunity to pivot to a completely different subject, you do not belong in Democratic leadership.

Ethan Hawke is sublime in #BlueMoon, which is one of two Richard Linklater movies at the New York Film Festival. Read my review here: danielmontgomery3.substack.com/p/nyff-blue-... #nyff #nyff63 #film #filmsky #movies 🎥

#JuliaRoberts is great in #AfterTheHunt, opening the New York Film Festival tonight, but I felt the film as a whole lacked clarity of purpose. Check out my review #NYFF #NYFF63 #film #filmsky

A pattern is developing where everyone who fights back against a Trump attack inevitably wins with their reputation much better than before, and everyone who caves to him looks like shit and has Trump coming back for more a month later.

Noah Baumbach's #JayKelly is a fantastic character study about careerism, success, and regret, with a deeply vulnerable George Clooney performance at its core #nyff #nyff63 #film #filmsky

I've so far succeeded at not reading or seeing anything related to "One Battle After Another," but it's getting tough. The "PTA is a genius" industrial complex is in full force and I really really don't want to be oversold on this one.

I think it would be helpful if DA Bragg charged a few of these assaults. If the agents think that federal law immunizes them for actions that would result in ordinary New Yorkers being charged, let them litigate it.

Wait! She thought ... she thought her speech was successful? ABOUT PALESTINE? And that that one fucking clause in one fucking statement would make up for no Palestinian speakers?! I knew they were cruel. I didn't realize they were actually that delulu. Talk about smelling your own farts 😞🤨🙄🤬

#NouvelleVague at #NYFF63 was a lot of fun, but its take on the French New Wave is VERY inside baseball: danielmontgomery3.substack.com/p/nyff-duse-... #filmsky

I couldn't quite follow the politics of #Duse at #NYFF63, but I adored the lead performance by Valeria Bruni Tedeschi: danielmontgomery3.substack.com/p/nyff-duse-... #filmsky

Saw a couple of #NYFF63 films about art and artists in the 20th century: #Duse and #NouvelleVague. #film #filmsky #movies 📽️

I caught up with #Superman yesterday during the gross Charlie Kirk pageant, so I ended up writing more than expected about contemporary politics #film #filmsky #movies 📽️

Only 1 person in the whole study went from identifying as trans to not identifying as trans. The 1/5 number came from youth going between the binary and non-binary spectrum. This headline and post are misleading on purpose to fit the economist's editorial bent on the political issue.
