Thank you Denver and the Denver Film Festival, what a fantastic time!

Hey Denver, today is the day! Come see us at the Tattered Cover on Colfax at 3 pm and then onstage with Gus van Sant at the Holiday Theater following the 7 pm showing of Dead Man's Wire. It's a beautiful day, see you there!

The audiobook Diane Ladd and Laura Dern recorded together, Honey Baby Mine, is an absolute dream of mother daughter bonding and frank conversations. I felt like I got to sneak in on their incredibly special relationship, and that makes this feel like an even more acute loss.

Denver, I am heading your way! Tomorrow you can find me in two places: a live, raucous recording of @fitwr.bsky.social at the Tattered Cover Colfax at 3 pm, then talking to GUS VAN SANT following a screening of Dead Man's Wire at the Holiday Theater at 7. Please come say hi!

We finally got some awards nominations to talk about this week, so of course @chrisjrosen.bsky.social and I have opinions. Join us live on Substack at 11 am Eastern to talk Gotham Awards and much more! open.substack.com/live-stream/...

WANT TO SEE THESE FOOLS PODCAST LIVE AT THE DENVER FILM FESTIVAL 11/4? Get your tickets and details here: denverfilmfestival.eventive.org/schedule/68f... Don't worry, Iron Man (me) has quit smoking.

One week from TODAY I'll be at the Denver Film Festival hosting a live taping of @fitwr.bsky.social and then an onstage conversation with Gus Van Sant! Tickets for both events are on sale now, I'd love to see you there! denverfilmfestival.eventive.org/schedule/68f...

Next week: Excellence in Directing honoree Gus Van Sant will present Dead Man’s Wire at the Denver Film Festival and speak with The Ankler’s @kateyrich.bsky.social and Christopher Rosen for her podcast, Prestige Junkie!

Unfortunately the true meaning of being a Gamecocks fan is getting used to snatching defeat from the jaws of victory

Being a Gamecocks football fan may truly be the most anxiety inducing thing in my life

For the first time in over a decade, @fitwr.bsky.social is doing a LIVE SHOW! Join us at the Denver Film Festival on Tuesday November 4 and come prepared to (lovingly) argue and hang out! denverfilmfestival.eventive.org/films/68fa92...

I have an important addendum to the dream casting that @chrisjrosen.bsky.social and I did for a Something's Gotta Give remake: bring in Lewis Pullman in the Keanu role. Not only because he'd be perfect, but it's a tribute to his father, the Ralph Bellamy of the 90s.

Our Prestige Junkie pundits are united on Jessie Buckley, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Timothée Chalamet but divided on who else makes the cut. From One Battle After Another to Sinners, @kateyrich.bsky.social charts the emerging Oscar order and the chaos underneath: theankler.com/p/oscar-pred...

Happening in just a few minutes! Be there like Keanu perusing a Hamptons farmstand!

We're watching Something's Gotta Give tonight and we would love for you to join us! I rewatched it yesterday to prep and came away with a range of hot takes, like "Jack Nicholson is a great actor" and "Keanu Reeves is so charming." See you and the Dancing Harrys there

Tomorrow night at 9 pm Eastern, @chrisjrosen.bsky.social and I are paying tribute to Diane Keaton and the fine art of crying while writing. We'll be on Substack Live watching Something's Gotta Give together, and we would love to see you there! open.substack.com/live-stream/...

Extremely important that Cupcake the miniature horse made the Middleburg dispatch

This is my entire operating theory of this Oscar season

So many incredible sights and exciting people at the Middleburg Film Festival, but nothing quite beats passing Jafar Panahi just strolling the hallways of this lovely hotel, looking as relaxed as if he’s just here on vacation

Our fall festival draft with @chrisvfeil.bsky.social is one of the most fun things @chrisjrosen.bsky.social and I have done on Prestige Junkie After Party and today we’re declaring a winner with a surprise special guest! open.substack.com/pub/prestige...

I kept taking pictures of the TV screen while watching Mr Scorsese in sheer astonishment at all the archival material (and how incredibly hot everyone was in the 70s). If you also find this picture of Scorsese and De Niro on a Caribbean vacation irresistible, you gotta watch this thing

Exclusive blind item: film critic @rilaws.bsky.social spotted at the exclusive Polo Lounge chatting up a glamorous Broadway aficionado from South Carolina. Learn her identity and so much more on this week’s Prestige Junkie podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/p...

"I feel like she elevates everyone around her." @kateyrich.bsky.social , @chrisjrosen.bsky.social and @richardrushfield.bsky.social each shared five films that capture Diane Keaton's fearless, funny brilliance and her knack for bringing the best out of her co-stars: theankler.com/p/richard-ka...

Looking for more books in the vein of four that have blown me away this year: sweeping emotions with a bit of history. Romantic longing a huge plus; sad English people not required but clearly a recurring theme

Me on Thursday: “Someone needs to write about how the two top best picture contenders make so much use of the word ‘pussy’ but I’m not brave enough to do it” Me on Monday: “Well, if Taylor can do it…” open.substack.com/pub/theankle...

Inspirational drama in which Sergio St Carlos trains every PTA president in America and we fix our education system once and for all

Substack’s top voices are going live with can’t-miss Taylor Swift takes. Thursday: @natjarv.bsky.social and Ochuko Akpovbovbo will chat about Swift’s digital strategy. Friday: @kateyrich.bsky.social @chrisjrosen.bsky.social and @hunterh.bsky.social will discuss Swift's film ambitions bit.ly/4n43AXD

I think this is actually the answer!

I don't think I've ever seen this question debated before and I think it's time to figure it out once and for all. Is Timothee Chalamet — born December 27, 1995 — a millennial? Please show your work.

Thank you for coming to my Leonardo DiCaprio TED Talk theankler.com/p/leonardo-d...

We're live right now!

If you have an opinion on this you will enjoy a Prestige Junkie After Party episode going up this afternoon

At 1 pm Eastern today @chrisjrosen.bsky.social and I are going live on Substack to talk about One Battle After Another, because I really don't want to talk about anything else! Make sure you're subscribed to Prestige Junkie After Party to get the notification to join us

It's not too late to join the @vulture.com Movie Game and compete against me as one of the FITWarriors! Or you could be loyal to @chrisjrosen.bsky.social instead and join team Prestige Junkie. Both good choices, see you there! moviegame.vulture.com

We've relaunched the Prestige Junkie pundits page which means I actually have to start writing down what I think will be nominated for Oscars instead of just accusing other people of being wrong. Tough gig! The new site looks great, join us there why don't you anklerpundits.com

I did most of my best work at Vanity Fair while working remotely, and it bums me out that Conde Nast is willingly letting go of talented people in the name of some vaguely defined corporate mandate.

This week’s paid Prestige Junkie episode answers an important question: why am I slaughtering @chrisjrosen.bsky.social and @chrisvfeil.bsky.social in our Fall Festival Deaft?

Extremely curious about the conversations surely happening within The Academy right now about how to make their own version of this statement

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

"What’s the point of spending billions building a giant streaming platform if your whole company can be held hostage by some Yeehaw Affiliate Cowboy?"

Guys if we pool our money we could do this and figure out the logistics later

You cannot keep a good man down and David is the best there is

my favorite robert redford story is that mike nichols considered him for dustin hoffman's part in THE GRADUATE. during their conversation nichols asked redford something like, "have you ever struck out with a girl?" and redford's response was basically, "i don't understand the question"

maybe the sexiest a man has ever been in a movie

Hard to imagine a better final starring role than this one

The delightful @kateyrich.bsky.social joins us to chat INTOLERABLE CRUELTY this week, and we are all exposed…as fans of this movie! Episode out now, everywhere you listen to podcasts!

Emmy winners Jeff Hiller and Katherine LaNasa spent years playing smaller parts before their breakout hits. @kateyrich.bsky.social and @chrisjrosen.bsky.social sense The Television Academy wants to reward "journeyman" hard-working actors. Full Emmy breakdown: theankler.com/p/the-good-b...
