Happy Birthday to Warren Beatty, 3/30/1937. As writer 📑, director 🎬, producer 🎥 & actor 🎭, has amassed incredible 14 Oscar noms. REDS is his magnum opus, IMO, winning Best Director. Noms: 67 Bonnie & Clyde 🎥🎭 75 Shampoo 📑 78 Heaven Can Wait 🎥🎭📑🎬 81 Reds 🎥🎭📑🎬 91 Bugsy 🎥🎭 98 Bulworth 📑 #filmsky 📽

My ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2 review of THE THIRD MAN boxd.it/dL3noj Corruption, greed, exploitation... Stark & shadowy, masterfully filmed noir classic is both unapologetically cynical & remarkably concise. Every scene matters & every interaction is worthy of suspicion. #filmsky 📽 Criterion Collection 64

Pet peeve: Just posted review of obscure film on Letterboxd. Two "friends" immediately put it on their watchlists. Nether liked my BS or my LB posting. If acting on something someone has posted, don't be a dick. Give it a damn like. Simple etiquette. Don't know why being nice is hard. #filmsky 📽

My ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review of ROTTING IN THE SUN boxd.it/dL0nrL Darkly humorous commentary about influencer culture has filmmaker Silva & comic actor Jordan Firstman play obnoxiously hilarious version of themselves. After graphic & headache-inducing opening, film cleverly subverts expectations. #filmsky 📽

My ⭐️⭐️⭐️ review of FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS boxd.it/dJSkEd Clever character introduction. Fabulous retro/kitsch production design. Spirited leads. Paul Walter Hauser as mole man? I'm in! Yet, underdeveloped supporting cast & ho-hum plot/villain left me more apathetic than thrilled. #filmsky 📽

My ⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2 review of RAMBLING ROSE boxd.it/dJHotV Laura Dern is irresistible & Duvall, Ladd, & Lukas Haas shine. Uniquely establishes its own vibe. Hard to classify, but easy to enjoy. Some might find its themes off-putting, but movie & its characters feel refreshingly non-judgmental. #filmsky 📽

#NowWatching PEAKY BLINDERS: THE IMMORTAL MAN (2026). Tom Harper. Cillian Murphy, Rebecca Ferguson. Well, Tommy... With so many of the Shelby clan already dead, what do you have left to give us? #filmsky 📽

So soon after his passing, it would be criminal not to extol the charms of HAROLD & MAUDE (1971) on Bud Cort's birthday, 3/29/48. Perfect as death-obsessed teen romancing octogenarian Ruth Gordon (stunning!), weird little movie is so joyous, poignant, hilarious, & life-affirming. ❤️ #filmsky 📽

❤️ Amy Sedaris & have merch to prove it! Happy Birthday, 3/29/61! Ballsy & hilarious, had pleasure to meet LY while wearing my Jerri Blank tee. Booksky 💙📚: *SIMPLE TIMES: CRAFTS FOR POOR PEOPLE *I LIKE YOU: HOSPITALITY UNDER THE INFLUENCE #tvsky 📺: AT HOME, BOJACK & iconic STRANGERS WITH CANDY.

Hollywood History: OTD 3/29/1977 One of filmdom's most iconic post-Oscar shoots occurred poolside at Beverly Hills Hotel at 5am. Faye Dunaway, celebrating win for NETWORK preceding night, met photographer Terry O'Neill (her partner & future hubby). Brilliant! #filmsky 📽

#NowWatching THE THIRD MAN (1949). Director: Carol Reed. Joseph Cotton, Orson Welles. Cue the skewed camera angles, zither music & Valli, I'm revisiting post-WWII Vienna. #filmsky 📽 Criterion Collection 64

No more Attie...

What movie did you watch over and over as a kid? Obsessed with classic noir & femme fatales, the perfect & very modern BODY HEAT was a go-to. Still is! Yeah, yeah, yeah...I watched what I wanted to, unrestricted, as a kid #filmsky 📽

#NowWatching ROTTING IN THE SUN (2023). Director: Sebastian Silva. Jordan Firstman, Catalina Saavedra. Ketamine-addicted filmmaker meets self-obsessed gay media influencer. Agreeing to collaborate is jumping off point of twisty satire. #filmsky 📽

#NowWatching THE FANTASTIC 4: FIRST STEPS (2025). Director: Matt Shakman. Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby. Unlike most of my Bluesky buddies, I don't get too stoked by every new comic book adaptation & usually take my time getting around to them. That time is now. #filmsky 📽

My ⭐️⭐️⭐️ review of THE KNACK...AND HOW TO GET IT boxd.it/dIud9b Slapstick, surreal & shag-a-delic, time capsule of swinging sixties London uses some of same sensibilities as A HARD DAY'S NIGHT. Youthful quartet enact wacky hijinks as Greek chorus of elder townsfolk disapprove. Bizarre. #filmsky 📽

My ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review of ALL THIS, AND HEAVEN TOO boxd.it/dIqmZH Everyone loves Bette! As saintly sweet governess, pitted against monstrous mother. Screenplay assumes you'll side with Davis, but villain was mostly right! Melodramatic potboiler takes time simmering, but satisfies in the end. #filmsky 📽

#NowWatching RAMBLING ROSE (1991). Director: Martha Coolidge. Laura Dern, Robert Duvall. Oscar history was made when Dern & real-life mother Diane Ladd both received noms for unorthodox coming-of-age tale about girl confusing sex & love. 1st & only time! Rewatch. #filmsky 📽

This is where I post from...

Happy Birthday to my favorite acting assassin, Dianne Wiest, 3/28/46. Any assignment slayed! Slapstick, tear-jerking, neurotic, maternal, uptight, mysterious. Oscar nods: 86 Hannah & Her Sisters (w) 89 Parenthood 94 Bullets over Broadway (w) Other faves: Lost Boys, Edward Scissorhands #filmsky 📽

Me blocking someone 🖤

Of course... With the success of PROJECT HAIL MARY, they've already announced the sequel PROJECT FULL OF GRACE. #filmsky 📽

I still haven't seen WICKED: FOR GOOD. Honestly, at this point, I might just hold out for WICKED: THE WHOLE BLOODY AFFAIR! #filmsky 📽

My ⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2 review of MARIA CANDELARIA boxd.it/dHC9RP Overheated Mexican melodrama that relishes torturing a dignified Del Rio. Bigotry & false piety are used to strip away basic human dignity...sounds timely! Escalating tension, not sure if it plays as tragedy or a full-on horror show. #filmsky 📽

My ⭐️⭐️⭐️ review of PADRE PADRONE boxd.it/dHzV4v What might have been powerful story of overcoming obstacles & breaking cycle of abuse never digs deeply enough into psyche of characters. Some nice moments, but being based on autobiography... disappointing its subject remained an enigma. #filmsky 📽

#NowWatching THE KNACK...AND HOW TO GET IT (1965). Director: Richard Lester. Rita Tushingham, Ray Brooks. First time watching swinging sixties sex romp that won top honor at Cannes. Sandwiched between Lester's Beatles movies...more Phantom of Opera's Michael Crawford, less Paul & John. #filmsky 📽

#NowWatching ALL THIS, AND HEAVEN TOO (1940). Director: Anatole Litvak. Bette Davis, Charles Boyer. Prestige melodrama has Davis as downright docile governess who gets embroiled in accusations, scandal, & even murder. Rewatch. #filmsky 📽

Obviously... 1) Good taste in movies! 2) Questionable judgment on who you listen to! 🤪 Hope you enjoyed. Balls-to-the-walls filmmaking with a stunning Peter O'Toole. #filmsky 📽

If you don't connect with a well-received movie, that doesn't make it "overrated." If you disagree...fine! But don't try to diminish the experience for others. #filmsky 📽

It wouldn't be proper to ignore Norma Desmond on this or any day! Gloria Swanson, BOTD 3/27/1899. From silent film superstar to SUNSET BOULEVARD (1950) & beyond, Swanson was, is, & always will be film legend. #filmsky 📽

Four 📽 Faves: Quentin Tarantino Have love/hate relationship with 2x Oscar winning writer/director. Love his films. Hate listening to his "hot takes." Happy birthday, 3/27/1963! 1992 Reservoir Dogs 1994 Pulp Fiction 1997 Jackie Brown 2006 Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair #filmsky 📽

Inspired Oscar noms: Anne Ramsey, BOTD 3/27/1929, for THROW MOMMA FROM THE TRAIN (1987). The delightful Ramsey was thrilled to receive this recognition from her peers & her unbridled enthusiasm ruled awards season. Pure joy was infectious, so humble. #filmsky 📽

#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched Eclectic mash-up... 1) Technicolor masterpiece on art & obsession 2) Star-studded mockumentary for lovers of folk music 3) Orgiastic horror in David Cronenberg's first feature 4) Greek mythology reimagined at Rio de Janeiro's Carnival #filmsky 📽 boxd.it/bhE8j
