"...It warns us that getting to the facts of any great matters of state, at the truth, is nigh on an impossibility with the forces in place to keep it locked away and hidden..." For #BOTD director Alan J. Pakula, my Letterboxd review of THE PARALLAX VIEW #FilmSky boxd.it/bexrYH

Trump can only be removed under the 25th Amendment with the actions of this Republican vice president, this Republican cabinet, and this Republican-controlled Congress. So, if you're asking what Democrats are doing today, I'm not sure you understand how this all works.

My attempt at marking out the timeline during the mid to late 1960s when Film Noir evolved and reshaped itself into Neo-noir ... What did I miss? boxd.it/THEBI

True classic.

A true classic.

John Schlesinger’s 1985 spy thriller ‘The Falcon and the Snowman’ boasts fine performances from Timothy Hutton and Sean Penn, and a refreshingly cynical view of the American intelligence apparatus.

This week @thebaffler.com asks whether you can still make it financially today as a writer—citing our Authors Guild income survey. (The answer is yes… but at what cost??)

This morning, NASA sent up a message recorded by Apollo astronaut Jim Lovell before his death:

Abel said this to me last year and I've thought about it every day since. "It’s a test, bro. Just take it as a test."

A new study is revealing that sharks in the Bahamas have tested positive for cocaine, caffeine and other substances.

One of the most important yet elided facts for understanding the Holocaust is how very, very, few people did anything. There are movies about them, yes. They are not examples standing in for many more though. Half a billion people lived in Europe and 28,000 are recognized as having protected Jews.

Stunning.

Looks interesting.

The reason Moby Dick is the most American novel ever written is because it is about a violent white man enacting a confusing revenge fantasy against a cheap source of oil.

New for @josimarfootball.bsky.social: Fifa's new "prediction market partner" is backed by the Abu Dhabi royal family, has no working product yet, is unlicensed in almost all jurisdictions and is run by a man who last year paid a six-figure sum to settle an accusation of insider trading in India.

Just want to say thank you for all your interest on this. Getting the database to work alongside Historic England, as well as the directions stuff, was a few late nights. This is something I’ve clamoured for myself for ages, so I hope others find it as useful.

During the production of CARRIE, Stephen King wrote two whole novels and sent them to his editor to see which should be his follow-up. One was a kidnapping thriller. The other was about vampires. The editor reluctantly said the vampire one, but was worried King would be typecast as a horror writer.

I’m about to start the process of swapping from Spotify to Amazon music and maaaaaaan do I need to find an easy way of doing it. I’ve half a dozen genre playlists over 20 hours long to recreate.

Always Trying to Get Beyond the Veil: An Interview with Abel Ferrara

A true classic.

The only two Gere films I’ve enjoyed were American Gigolo and Internal Affairs. Every other one I’ve seen were lowest common denominator multiplex algorithm pleasing bollocks. Which is a shame as he’s a bloody good actor. Surely there’s films I’ve missed that are as good as the two named?

Libraries are the best and I love being in libraries. I was shocked that my third true crime book is in the Chicago Public Library.
