For @documentary.org, I talked with Xander Robin about his highly entertaining film The Python Hunt documentary.org/online-featu...

Disappointed by Silent Friend. Wrote about why for @reverseshot.bsky.social

ELMER FUDD: ahhhhhwwwaa..... da spice mewange.... found oenwe on da desert pwanet of awwakis

Jackass fans we simply cannot stop winning

Very chuffed to do a guest post for the essential NYC arts newsletter Exhibits in New York, about the great Joan Semmel show at the Jewish Museum

Ella McCay has arrived at the Met Gala

Did a fun one for today. Fight with me about the ranking or which Frings I left out if you'd like

In a late-breaking Substack, I wrote about the mesmerizing school shooting opera (?!) Innocence danschindel.substack.com/p/innocence-...

Latest stack is an interview with Bill Morrison, master of the celluloid ethereal danschindel.substack.com/p/bill-morri...

found myself in a pretty trick spot: rent’s going up and I don't have much work right now. So I’m looking for (paid) assignments! I’m a pretty good critic, I've written a lot about Black film and animation – recent samples in replies! I can be reached at: kambole [at] outlook [dot] com

If I ever came across an Alien vs Predator situation I would simply use empathy and active listening to broker a lasting peace that saw the most pressing concerns of each side addressed equally.

watching The Python Hunt, a rare film I'm 100% sold on based on just one promo image

THIS FRIDAY! Come listen to Caroline and I talk about microhistory

Oh god what have I done danschindel.substack.com/p/launch

Really need to watch The Garden one of these days

Oh, every one is always nostalgic for the geocites era web but when somebody actually makes a platform that crashes every 10 minutes, suddenly everybody wants future technology, I see how it is.

Niles, flustered: The real tragedy is the opera's decline in standards. The audience is positively full of animals! Frasier, drolly: You have no idea.

never forget

Dennis Mukai, 1990

The brief early 2010s pop of auteurs taking the potential of 3D seriously post-Avatar was really interesting - this, Hugo, Pina, Jackass 3D of course, etc.

Japanese sci-fi: two robots in space, yearning American sci-fi: man gets the author's beliefs on polygamy confirmed by the aliens of ramalama IV french sci-fi: two horny bounty hunters visit the Galaxy of Breasts British sci-fi: nuclear war. Everyone dead. America's fault

Next week!

Back at @theartnewspaper.bsky.social writing about The Christophers. Good Ian McKellen in this, but I don't think its pondering amounts to much

For @documentary.org I talked with the ledge Terry Zwigoff looking back at his docs Louie Bluie and Crumb--both showing in @filmforumnyc.bsky.social's full career retro of his work.

New York! I will be hosting the Q&A with @carolineavenue.bsky.social et al after the April 24 screening of her film Revelations of Divine Love at @spectacletheater.com! Come thru and watch us talk about microhistory.

i’m so tired

For @reverseshot.bsky.social it's a double-header review of a new/old Kiyoshi Kurosawa double bill. Twice the thrills! Twice the chills! Twice the existential disquiet!

Saw Inland Empire for the first time finally last night*, and I don't know how there was ever any confusion. It's clearly a roman a clef against the sinister Poles *at long last am a Lynch feature completer

I'm sure this will go fine

I wrote a bit more about The Big Parade, because it’s really good and I had more to say. Thoughts on the midpoint departure scene and the ending: fcardamenis.substack.com/p/the-big-pa...

Had to draw her 🌞

SHIN GODZILLA: [blasting an entire city in half with a laser beam] ME: [weeping] hes so lonely...

I'm thrilled to debut at @hellgatenyc.com and even more thrilled that it's to talk with @carolineavenue.bsky.social about her lovely film Revelations of Divine Love

this might be the most traction one of our newsletters has had, so I gotta say: it would mean the world if this translated to some more sign-ups! do that here (or at the bottom of the article) - buttondown.com/reframe

I didn’t know this but current and past members of the Blue Man Group always refer to one another forever as Blue Men. “There’s a Blue Man in Ottawa,” etc. No one is a former Blue Man. They live in an endless Blue present

STARTING IN ONE WEEK! "Revelations of the Middle Ages" opens @anthologyfilm.bsky.social with the U.S. premiere of "Revelations of Divine Love" and array of medieval masterpieces designed to delight and confound! www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/film_screeni...

they literally renamed the entire company after this

For @documentary.org I spoke to Sofia Coppola about her wonderful Gen X tv magazine Hi Octane, and I guess she also has a new movie out documentary.org/online-featu...

If you smell toast, you might be having a stroke... a stroke of luck that is. It’s toast time.
