Not the point, but I'm going to be there too! I happen to be in SoCal that weekend! I'm going to watch my friends do their little movie!

SXSW 2025 Midnighter HALLOW ROAD is in theaters Oct 31. You should be there. www.youtube.com/watch?v=AV_q...

Remember in the second Matrix when Neo throws one of the Smiths into a bunch of others in the big fight and it plays a bowling pin sound. They're so scared to make movies good these days.

Caught THE ORDER at TIFF *last year* but have spent more time thinking about it *this year* No reason for that, I'm sure.

Fantastic Fest used to have a bumper competition (themed shorts that played before the films). The final edition was in 2019, and @peterhallhuman.bsky.social and I won with NO SIGNAL. That was the first time we co-wrote/co-directed. The second time was MAN FINDS TAPE! vimeo.com/363068358

EDDINGTON (2025)

BLACK PHONE 2 has a quiet integrity you don't often see in studio horror sequels, and goddamn those kids give some incredible performances. Helluva score, too.

Don't mind me. Just over here sobbing.

Me: what’s the most effective and simple move in a fight BONG JOON HO, LOUDLY: gotta be the two foot drop kick out of nowhere

Los Angeles friends: MAN FINDS TAPE at Beyond Fest is freeeee, courtesy of Neon. I’ll be there! beyondfest.com/film/man-fin...

Got this ad and thought they were making action figures for Hacks

Fade In version 5 is coming! And as we all wait patiently for a response from an unnamed trillion-dollar company in order to move ahead, I figured I might as well rattle off some of the coming features, for anyone who's missed them.

🤯😍🤯😍🤯😍

Putting on my publicist hat here and seeking film writers who have an emphasis on gay cinema. I have a pretty solid list, but always looking for others! Please hit me up!

For anyone wondering when MAN FINDS TAPE would be heading to LA, now we have an answer, and it's a ridiculously exciting one: See ya' at Beyond Fest! www.americancinematheque.com/now-showing/...

ALPHA, MAN FINDS TAPE, NOISE, QUEENS OF THE DEAD… am I dreaming?? Insane lineup. Well done @celluloidscreams.bsky.social.

What a line-up from @celluloidscreams.bsky.social!

Still thinking about OBSESSION. Such a unique, fully formed horror vision with unwavering commitment to its tone and style. Can't wait to see it get out in the wild after TIFF, and for whatever this team does next.

Between THE GORGE, F1 and now THE LOST BUS, Apple is crushing it with dollars-on-screen, old school studio movies.

OBSESSION: Yeah, Curry Barker's got the goods, big time. Coming out swinging with such an original film.

Man, what a smart move using this Carl Sagan VO for the HOUSE OF DYNAMITE trailer. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0w6w...

A few TIFF trailers to get you in the mood for more festival-ing (yes, I am excited to be going back). (Most don't have trailers yet, but some do.) Here's BLUE MOON, with Ethan Hawke. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ypQ...

Also!! MAN FINDS TAPE will have its German premiere at Fantasy Film Festival in September!

Ridiculously, ridiculously honored to have MAN FINDS TAPE heading to Sitges, a festival I've long admired from a distance and will soon get to know a whole lot better. Surreal. sitgesfilmfestival.com/en/noticies/...

I plugged my analog TV broadcast equipment back in last night! Decided to setup a weather station channel that stimulates that 1990s Weather Channel vibe And yes, this is pulling real, live data! Maybe I'll make a video about this setup sometime??? ;)

things were better when the computer lived in its own specific room and you only went in there sometimes

Chicago Tribune film critic Michael Phillips announces he has taken a buyout and the Trib is eliminating his post. Unless I am missing someone I believe this leaves the nation's third-largest city without a single full-time film writing gig.

Indy is the most beautiful dog I've ever seen. You have no idea how many times we've posted pictures of him / GOOD BOY in SXSW slacks. www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4-C...

That time on Homicide: Life On the Streets when Munch perfectly predicted our future in 1994

This film was made by dozens of different friends with whom I've hung out or worked with in different sectors of my life in Austin over the last 25 years. Amazing people we believe in, which is why Jess and I EP'd the film. We're very proud of the cast & crew and we're excited for you all to see it!

Genuinely couldn’t be more thrilled to see @paulgandersman.bsky.social and @peterhallhuman.bsky.social great film find a great home with the Magnolia team. Congratulations to the entire cast and crew!

This is a really fun found footage movie featuring a *tremendous* performance from @gholson.bsky.social. Put it on your calendar.

Just insane news

this is a year of movies—Sinners, Materialists, Weapons, even Superman—that people really want to talk about, but people framing their views for Letterboxd one-liners and 30-second clips has not been great for The Discourse

The only remotely wise thing I can say is to directly support outlets that are still writing thoughtful, eloquent criticism. Shell out a few $ for a subscription to those who offer it, hit the free sites with your traffic, share good pieces here and elsewhere. It's a tiny thing, but it's something.

Hold up, the Shark Tank guy is in MARTY SUPREME?! And he looks kinda great?!? www.youtube.com/watch?v=PI6-...

TREMORS /end of list

This is delightful

I was a film critic when Jurassic Park came out, saw a screening of it with other critics on the Universal lot, and when the T-Rex started yelling the movie critic from the Knoxville News-Sentinel grabbed my arm so hard it bruised.

Keep meaning to post that the 2026 SXSW Film & TV Festival is now open for submissions! SEND US YOUR MOVIES. PUT ME TO WORK. WE WANT TO SHOW YOUR DOPE SHIT OFF TO THE WORLD. www.sxsw.com/apply/film-s...

Damn, this is an awesome trailer for this SXSW gem. Keep an eye out for ODYSSEY!

I know he'd been a jobbing actor for a while, but I remember seeing Sterling K. Brown in SUPERNATURAL and feeling like he'd been an actor I'd been watching for decades. Such an immediate, commanding presence.

The most lasting legacy Scott Wampler left me personally was these three reaction JPGs. Feel free to use them.

Good trailer!

Finally got around to BRIDGET JONES: MAD ABOUT THE BOY. A) *Great* B) Renee Zellweger: fantastic C) Hugh Grant's weapon's grade charisma is so surgical here. Beloved yet still underrated D) Chiwetel Ejiofor delivering a sneaky thematic double bill for THE LIFE OF CHUCK E) Another sequel plz
