I wrote about Keith Sanborn’s 160-minute structuralist epic about staring and listening to the same damn thing over and over again, DREADFUL PENNY DREADFUL: open.substack.com/pub/longform...

For my NYC @screenslate.bsky.social debut, I wrote about…video games! Here’s me on the gallery show from the brand new Smilers NYC space, featuring the titular artworks: CRUST SHMUP // TOTALLY FUCKED // CHOP SUEY www.screenslate.com/articles/cru...

If they made a documentary on the recent discourse about whether it’s possible to watch experimental movies on film, they could call it NO OWEN LAND

I think it’s really funny and appropriate that this overrated bore has been placed into a children’s movie series

Robert Beavers is at the Anthology members screening for George Kuchar, imagine their interactions!

Staying up late be like

General PSA: I am watching the 3 narrative films I can cram in b4 the deadline for my InRO ballot 2nite, then I am going to try and hit up experimental titles before 2024 wraps so I can make a separate ballot. If u know of any titles with 2022 - 24 world premieres that can 1/

TIL that one of my screenings led to someone meeting their current partner

You’d think it’d be bigger news that Jean Renoir’s LE TOURNOI/THE TOURNAMENT (1929) is available in a restored version running 2 hours, after many years of only 30 minutes being around?

Made my writing debut at Screen Slate’s SF division @screenslatesf.bsky.social , covering the upcoming retrospective for G.W. Pabst at BAMPFA: www.screenslate.com/articles/g-w...

This week, Andrew Reichel on why G.W. Pabst was "a guiding star for directors like Renoir and von Sternberg," in a survey of BAMPFA's G. W. Pabst: Selected Films, 1925-1938 series, which begins Saturday with Secrets of a Soul (35mm, w/ Judith Rosenberg on piano): www.screenslate.com/articles/g-w...

Easy highlight of Marclay’s THE CLOCK (8h 10m watched) was that I saw John Smith’s THE GIRL CHEWING GUM last night at Anthology…and then it showed up in THE CLOCK!

Why not? I will try and stick to obscurities to make it more fun: cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thu...

THE WAGES OF FEAR: Friedkin is going to have quite a bar to clear when I get around to his remake.

Boris Barnet thoughts here: letterboxd.com/andr913/list...

I seem to have just gotten 75 followers out of nowhere, was I added to something or other?

CHICAGO FRIENDS: I am officially coming to town for Will Hindle & Dorsky/Hiler and then leaving shortly after. Does anyone know of a couch or spare bed for me to sleep on the evening of Dec 8th? My flight is at 6 AM on the 9th so it won’t really be used much.

I wrote quite extensively about the Andrew Noren filmography for Ultra Dogme: ultradogme.com/2024/11/19/a...

Well, that was a lot of fun! Probably my favorite lineup I’ve ever assembled, all things considered. I’ll be transparently careerist and say I would like more programming opportunities. 1/

Help! We’re spinning around in the night consumed by fire!

I just listened to In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida for the first time, Santiago Alvarez certainly used the best part for 79 Primaveras. (I haven’t seen Manhunter yet.)

This site needs polls imo
