Matt Johnson's NIRVANNA THE BAND THE SHOW THE MOVIE offers a joyous throwback to the optimistic feeling of the early internet creator era. Read @marshallshaffer.bsky.social's review.

Looks like a good article about Hong movies - www.brightwalldarkroom.com/2026/01/29/h...

1 - 2001 movie is also about another thing that no one has really mentioned - it's about going up the ladder in the world of filming and acquiring different abilities and access. At some point you can get to some other worldly cosmic being level where you can recreate planets.

2 - It's a process that Kubrick went through - from being a street photographer to filming real world sets using basic 35MM film camera gear to making future worlds/2001 to re-making NYC for a later film - it's like the astronaut going from being a human to the cosmic space baby.

3 - The Monolith in 2001 is like a wide screen film frame resting on a side. So the story can be about the evolution of humans when they come into contact with cinema.

"This screening is of a 35mm black-and-white print. I envy anyone who gets to see it at MOMA. “Down by Law” screens Tue, Sep 16, 4:00 p.m. and Fri, Sep 19, 6:30 p.m." - from - www.rogerebert.com/mzs/when-the...

New Yorkers: there's an incredible series at MOMA (@moma.bsky.social) commemorating the 20th anniversary of Katrina with a series of films about New Orleans before and after. Curated by @mayascade.bsky.social and K. Austin Collins. My picks: www.rogerebert.com/mzs/when-the...

good book

I always thought this was 1. self-evident, and 2. the point. "The creator of some of cinema’s most memorable music says it pales in comparison to the great works" because movie music isn't meant to be the center of attention, the great works are meant to hold attention themselves for long durations.

Our new 20th anniversary series celebrates some of the key films we’ve had the privilege of playing! Get a 2 for 20 Ticket Pack to see two films in the series for only $20, or just $18 for members! 35mm and filmmaker in persons at select shows. www.ifccenter.com/series/20-fi...

Very simple truth-- if you could make a movie from a prompt, the goddamned Asylum would have a thousand AI movies out this month. The Asylum understands moviemaking better than these idiots.

New Hal Hartley movie "Where To Land" is coming out in September! Edited by me. Somehow I've had a whole career in television (and raised a child) since the last one? www.worldofreel.com/blog/2025/7/...
