A most auspicious Los Angeles Christmas Eve story 🌈

This rainy Christmas Eve morning in my own place before my family invades >>>>

Nicole Kidman in EYES WIDE SHUT.

Together again 🤍

Made you one last playlist to wrap up this very very strange, stunning year ✨ open.spotify.com/playlist/2Ow...

My only contribution to the AVATAR discourse is that the theatrical version I saw opening weekend in suburban Ohio absolutely had the sex scene in it, which I can guarantee because it is the one + only time I have ever seen it. I don’t know why our print had it included, but I know what I saw!!

Kirsty MacColl left us 25 years ago. She wrote "They Don't Know" as a teenager, sang my favorite Christmas duet ever + gave her life to save the lives of her children - I hope she is waltzing with Shane MacGowan in the gr8 beyond 🤍 This is my favorite song of hers: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qnbi...

Bold new flavor of parasocial behavior just dropped: cloning someone else's Letterboxd lists + passing them off as your own. You guys know public lists are searchable, right??

We made it to the last Friday of the work year, lads. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDHc...

Took the TCM tour of WB last night, ended up finding Christmas in Stars Hollow - whatta year we have had to make it HERE.

HBD Gregg Araki - teenage viewings of NOWHERE + MYSTERIOUS SKIN did in fact alter my brain chemistry forever, thank god that they did!!

Pulled a rare item from the Hagen archive tonight - yes this is the copy I taped off TV as a kid.

SPICE WORLD basically being lost media now should be ILLEGAL.

We say goodbye to actor, filmmaker and activist Rob Reiner. A dedicated storyteller with sincerity that imbued his prolific work and the causes he believed in, Reiner’s heartfelt portrayal of the human condition reminds us of the power of film and its abilities to stay with us.

Made two (2) grown-up phone calls I've been putting off for months this morning, plz clap.

Sasha Stone has reminded us once again what an absolutely vile person she is; please stop inviting her to anything Hollywood-related.

At least grateful that Carl Reiner isn't around for this nightmare, christ almighty.

Just completely devastating.

What a terrible weekend, christ.

It’s me, your ol pal K8, here to let you know that the Josh O’Connor movie to watch once you’ve seen all the obvious titles is MOTHERING SUNDAY. Thank me later 😘

Slept for almost 12 hours after a very loooong week + I feel reborn.

I wrote about my favorite film discovery of 2k25, Brian Gibson's BREAKING GLASS, for @letterboxd.social! As always, blessed to be included among pals making some fantastic film recommendations of their own: letterboxd.com/journal/favo...

If you’re still defending Woody Allen for any reason here in the year of our lord 2k25, please seek GOD.

As the closing credits of 2025 roll, Letterboxd crew and contributors round up their favorite films that they watched for the very first time this year, from underseen international gems like Forever a Woman to acclaimed mainstays like Paper Moon. boxd.it/2S8

All I'll say about studios making deals with AI companies for today is that I hope they have read the literature regarding deepfake technology + what it can actually do.

My favorite line in “Last Christmas” has always been “crowded rooms/friends with tired eyes” + BOY HOWDY does that feel truer than ever this year. Everyone I know is running on the fume of a fume!

We have strayed so far from god's light.

Damn, looks like THE SAVANT is gonna end up as streaming lost media along with BATGIRL huh.

I'm sorry to say it, but I think the answer might be the .mp3. Instantly turned art into a disposable file that was seen as worthless + thus devalued the entire artform of music - and its existence inspired everyone else to start making media for the digital landscape instead of the physical one.

I see the data drop of the year, the Pornhub trends report, has arrived. As always, it's REALLY VERY INTERESTING to see objects of desire for much of America (like fat women or trans performers) still be classified as "not of interest" by most mainstream media, huh. Somebody is lying + it's not PH.

If you feel that you NEED an AI chatbot to speak with your dearly departed loved ones, I feel really really bad for you. Get off your phone, look around + you'll find them everywhere in nature.

Casper Kelly's feature debut BUDDY (which sounds gr8!) is playing Sundance so I am legally obligated to post this once again. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrGr...

HBD to not only the American greatest director of all-time, but the hottest.

I am the last person alive to watch KPOP DEMON HUNTERS but man, y'all were so right about those songs being catchy as hell - "Golden" in particular feels like it was genetically engineered to get tattooed on your brain immediately.

*through tears of joy* Erotic thrillers are BACK on the Black List, babeeey 🥹 deadline.com/2025/12/the-...

#BlackList2025 arrives today, Tuesday, December 9 at 9 AM PT, only on blcklst.com/2025blacklist. Join us there…

I've been so busy today I only just realized Wunmi Mosaku didn't get a Golden Globe nom for SINNERS...lol sure okay, whatever you say HFPA.

At least AFTER THE HUNT is an essential new entry in the cinematic canon for tummy-ache girlies.

"K8, what have you been working on this fall??" #BlackList2025

Depends on the day, but this or "Cherry Pie" are in strong contention for my favorite Sade track - DIAMOND LIFE is one of my desert island records without question.

I know PLURIBUS is Real Television because I have been watching it very sloooowly + savoring every episode.

Made it four whole minutes into the Jeff Buckley doc without crying. A terrific piece of work - telling his story thru the women in his life was such a wise choice + I hope Jeff is living his fullest genderfluid life in the gr8 beyond. (Though the omission of Liz Fraser was certainly curious, huh.)

Really loving all these petty little emails rep theaters + film preservation organizations are sending out this weekend about the power of the theatrical experience + the value of cinematic archives 🤭

Hivemind, have you ever given a gr8 gift to a baby for their first Christmas that had real longevity? Looking for something for the bb of some of my best friends - I already got them a beautiful blanket that’s been well-loved, but I’m ISO a Christmas-y something they’ll use year after year, ya know?

In this house, we've loved + respected Matthew Lillard since this first hit HBO. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nwG...
