Deeply sad to see such a good thing go, even if I know it will never really die. Community is a blessing. #TheLastDriveIn #JoeBobBriggs #MutantFam @themutantfam.bsky.social @darcythemailgirl.bsky.social

@guerrillagirls.bsky.social and @pussyriot.bsky.social discuss how political activism informs their art, and its essential place in the police state America has spiraled into. @gettymuseum.bsky.social #ArtSky

Filmmaker #DenisVilleneuve talks 2am hotel bar script sessions, shooting on the border and joys of collaboration with the great sensei himself, #BenicioDelToro. @amcinematheque.bsky.social #FilmSky

Murdering innocent civilians and children during #Ramadan is on brand for a nation whose #POTUS is a convicted criminal pedophile with dementia working in lockstep with #Israel, a genocidal cabal of bloodthirsty maniacs hellbent on taking over the #MiddleEast no matter who is killed. #IranWar

A brief, much needed moment of joy last night, with Eleanor and Matt Friedberger of #TheFieryFurnaces playing an intimate show at the Masonic Lodge at the #HollywoodForeverCemetery. #MusicSky

These men are fundamentally evil. Absolutely nothing but hate, bloodlust and megalomania. This is tyranny in its clearest form. Now is when we spit out the bread and burn the circuses to the ground. #StateOfTheUnion

Deeply saddened by the loss of #RobertCarradine, who took his own life. Everyone knows him for REVENGE OF THE NERDS, but he had a beautiful part in Hal Ashby’s incredibly moving COMING HOME. Wishing him a lasting peace. #FilmSky

The great #RobertDuvall portrayed a wide range of human beings over his 60 year career. His very first role, as Boo Radley in Robert Mulligan’s TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, still moves me inexpressibly. #FilmSky

The fearless #StellanSkarsgard, at a Valentine’s Day @amcinematheque.bsky.social screening of BREAKING THE WAVES, Lars von Trier’s mesmerizing and emotionally devastating tale of love, sacrifice, and self destruction.

Very sad to see another good man gone. #DawsonsCreek will always have a little safe space in my heart, not just because it was about an awkward, yearning film nerd but because it was positive and excited and came at time when that really helped. #JamesVanDerBeek

RIP #BudCort. His work with Ruth Gordon in Hal Ashby’s classic #HaroldandMaude is such a genuine treasure. One of my most cherished films.

Happy 94th to the greatest of all time, #JohnWilliams, and eternal gratitude for the soundtrack of my lifetime. #FilmSky #FilmMusic

Independent cinema legend #JohnSayles, a longtime writing inspiration (going from THE HOWLING to LONE STAR is one hell of a range) and one of the most passionate and thoughtful filmmakers. Last week he read from and discussed his new novel CRUCIBLE. #FilmSky #IndependentMovies #Screenwriting

Standing out in the sweltering crowd today to add my voice to the chorus of anger, defiance and determination (5/5) #iceoutofLA #abolishICE #destroyfascism

Normalizing evil is not a defense mechanism but a conscious choice, and it’s up to all of us to make the right one. (4/5) #iceoutofLA #abolishICE #destroyfascism

…those who refuse to keep their heads down or their mouths shut when they see their friends, neighbors and fellow citizens being marginalized, demonized, and brutalized. (3/5) #iceoutofLA #abolishICE #destroyfascism

The only thing that will stop the authoritarian occupation of our country aren’t the monsters who profit from it suddenly having an emotional epiphany (they don’t have any), but those who refuse to look away… (2/5) #iceoutofLA #abolishICE #destroyfascism

#ICE is a symbol of the cruelty and inhumanity that follows when one culture no longer sees another as men, women and children as deserving of love and respect, but as chattel to be herded up and deported, ghettoized or outright murdered. (1/5) #iceoutofLA #abolishICE #destroyfascism

It has already happened again in #Gaza and is well on its way to happening here in #America. “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” #holocaustremembranceday

How to help those under siege… #Minneapolis #Minnesota #abolishICE #AlexPretti

#ICE has executed another innocent person in the streets of #Minneapolis. Every single one of them should be arrested and tried for felony murder. #abolishICE #destroyfascism

#WalterMurch is one of the greatest film editors & sound designers in cinema for 50 years. The Godfathers, THX 1138, American Graffiti, The Conversation, Apocalypse Now, Ghost, The English Patient, & Return to Oz. Hearing him at @amcinematheque.bsky.social was a masterclass in making art from chaos.

Starting off 2026 with a gorgeous, enveloping @academymuseum.bsky.social screening of the restored #BlueVelvet, for the film’s 40th anniversary and to pay tribute to the late #DavidLynch with @kylemaclachlan.bsky.social

#abolishICE #LosAngeles

Happy Birthday to the great #JohnCarpenter. This was the first live show he and the band ever played, a warm up for friends and family at what was then the Bootleg Theater. #FilmSky #HorrorMovies #Halloween

Read that new slogan from the government. “One of ours. All of yours.” They intend to kill or deport anyone who does not blindly stand with them. The problem? There are WAY more of us who don’t. #abolishICE #destroyMAGA Second 📸 by @acatwithnews.bsky.social

FIOH… 🎨 Daria Hlazatova #DavidBowie

#ICE murdered an American citizen in cold blood. She was not a threat. She was not a criminal. There is no other way to spin this. Zero. #Minneapolis #AbolishICE

On #January6th five years ago, a worthless, child molesting pile of s**t fraud tried to overthrow #democracy like a butt hurt toddler because he couldn’t handle losing. His whole life has been nothing but ego, hatred & crime. The day he shuffles off this mortal coil will be one of celebration.

The great #BélaTarr has passed on. One of the most distinctive and thoughtful filmmakers of his time. I had the opportunity to hear him discuss his work a few years ago at the @amcinematheque.bsky.social and it was genuinely revelatory, inspiring several projects of my own. #FilmSky

Posting #Caturday content in momentary lieu of venting white hot rage at the illegal idiocy of pedophiles and chest thumping bigot warmongers. In this case, pics before and after the Christmas decorations went back into storage…

“There is a tide in the affairs of men, which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune; Omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat, and must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures.” #startrek #shakespeare #RoseParade

#MandyPatinkin and the children’s choir of PS22 singing Over The Rainbow (written by blacklisted socialist lyricist Yip Harburg) at the inauguration of #ZohranMamdani is the deeply emotional beginning to 2026 I wasn’t expecting but very much needed. This year we can turn things around.

A wintry night on the west side with #JimJarmusch at the #NuartTheater… #FatherMotherSisterBrother #ET #Cinefile #FilmSky

#RobReiner had a run of films that was genuinely remarkable. The fact that any one of them is a million people’s favorite speaks to the breadth of his imagination, the sharpness of his wit, and the incalculable size of his heart. He was a great gift to all of us. Mine is below. #FilmSky #StandByMe

Holiday magic with #ChrisColumbus and #MacaulayCulkin at the 35th anniversary screening of #HomeAlone at the @academymuseum.bsky.social

This weekend…can’t wait. #TheShining #IMAX #StanleyKubrick #JackNicholson #ShelleyDuvall #StephenKing

You are the needle in my veins… #Spielberg #UFO #FilmSky

Still processing the remarkably nervy and emotional debut of filmmaker #KristenStewart… #TheChronologyofWater #FilmSky

Finally got to see the burnished, beautifully visualized western elegy THE ASSASSINATION OF JESSE JAMES BY THE COWARD ROBERT FORD writ large at @amcinematheque.bsky.social along with a discussion of craft and themes between filmmaker #JohnHillcoat, DP #RogerDeakins, and #JamesEllisDeakins. #Filmsky

RIP to the great British writer #TomStoppard, who gave us Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, Brazil, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Shakespeare in Love, Arcadia, The Real Thing, Leopoldstadt and one of my favorite movies, Empire of the Sun. A master with words. #Writersky #Screenwriting

One of the films I treasure most on the world came out 50 years ago today. Still as hilarious and beautiful and heartbreaking as ever. #OneFlewOverTheCuckoosNest #FilmSky #Cinema #JackNicholson

Thoughts on NOUVELLE VAGUE… #Godard #NouvelleVague #Truffaut #RichardLinklater #cinema

Caught myself swooning at the joy, romance and smart, dry wit of the French New Wave all over again (Godard and Truffaut were very formative for me back in the day) at a @amcinematheque.bsky.social screening of #NouvelleVague, a wonderfully playful hangout devotional by the great #RichardLinklater.

Annual revisit with my favorite film by Joel and Ethan Coen, INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS. I love its cold, muted winter landscape, and the sense of always huddling from a hostile atmosphere (I relate). This scene in particular, with a cat and a car on a bleak, snow swept nighttime highway, still haunts me.

On #VeteransDay, I pay respect to those who serve for how they risk their lives for freedoms the cowards currently in power want to take away, including benefits they've earned & not having the sacrifices of women & minorities erased by preening white nationalists to cover for their own mediocrity.

Pro-migrant, pro-trans, pro-working class. A good step toward beating back fascism. #ZohranMamdani #destroyfascism

Few people in the history of the world deserved to be gone from it more. Good riddance, you evil motherf**ker. #DickCheney

Some wonderfully propulsive and appropriately unnerving live music on #Halloween night with @thehorrormaster.bsky.social at the #BelascoTheater…
