look at this fucking cat

i just walked around my neighborhood smoking a cigarette and listening to weezer and it’s honestly the best i’ve felt in like 6 months

friendly reminder that post 5 pm sunsets are officially back 🌆

Honored to be included in the newest @imprintfilms.bsky.social Neo-Noir Cinema box set series. My essay, “Coyotes,” is included with the exclusive 4K premiere of UNLAWFUL ENTRY. I also provide a commentary track for the Jim Thompson fuck-noir adaptation, THE GETAWAY.

why are there ads for die my love on every single podcast i listen to and every single verified instagram account i follow????

I wrote about 'MELANIA' johnpaulbrammer.substack.com/p/my-melania...

i caught what i’m fairly certain is an eyes wide shut homage in josephine (sundance movie) and it’s driving me crazy that i’m probably gonna have to wait like a year to legally screenshot it to post lol

crazy that basically every person complaining about "woke overreach" over the last 12 years is also in the epstein emails being like "thanks for the pussy, jeff ;)"

when we think about what children have the ability to emotionally hold and learn, we should remember their empathy and curiosity reinforces our own. see also:

I interviewed Ethan Hawke today at Sundance. How’s y’all’s day going?? @vulture.com

Years from now, it'll be difficult to explain the things people in media were wailing about before all this. Sophomores writing underconsidered op-eds about cultural appropriation. Protests against demagogues on campus. YA drama. "Mobs" on Twitter. These were the threats to free society.

so cold in chicago i stepped outside and the liquid in my eyeballs started to freeze. not exaggerating!!

I wrote about Minneapolis. nymag.com/intelligence...

it's my favorite time of year: sundance fomo

if parents are allowed to pull the “you can’t get this movie if you don’t have kids” card then i will gladly pull the “you can’t get sentimental value unless you have a dead mom, an absentee dad, and a younger sister you partially raised who is better at relationships than you’ll ever be” card!!!!

the entire timeline has spoken with one voice. and they're saying "Delroy Lindo"

amanda and chase you are the winners in my heart!!!!!

been watching a lot of musicals lately and here’s my take: musicals are awesome

While you hunger and thirst over the soundtrack, read what @lindseyromain.bsky.social wrote about THE TESTAMENT OF ANN LEE and radical empathy. ANN LEE releases in theaters this weekend.

CBS should uncancel Whiskey Friday with Tony Doukopil so nobody looks at me funny when I am still calling Fridays that six years from now.

I bet you could take a whole herd of ICE guys with a medium-large bag of marbles

cannot stop saying “bonesaw is ready” today. in the voice of course.

The LeBron James of divorced women. No one is doing it like her.

mortal man should feed upon the creature that feeds his lamp

"Many directors find truth in skepticism, but Jonathan Demme often found it in the sparseness of in-betweens. He knew the great promise of rehearsals: for wedding dinners & musical performances & people trying on new ways to heal.” - @lindseyromain.bsky.social on RACHEL GETTING MARRIED

good stuff

is rose byrne’s golden globes dress an atonement homage?? if so, slay

Go Bears. Fuck the Packers. Abolish ICE.

This is about A Woman Under the Influence but it is also a lot about saying fuck corporations, be uncomfortable, make independent art—even if it doesn’t pay off in your lifetime
