Me making Oscar predictions over at anklerpundits.com? Likelier than you think!

LB favs refresh, why not etc.

Hamnet is a tearjerker that “doesn’t feel like medicine or homework.” It’s no surprise the film racked up the TIFF Audience Award and seems primed for domination, think @kateyrich.bsky.social, @chrisjrosen.bsky.social and @chrisvfeil.bsky.social prestigejunkieafterparty.substack.com/p/fall-fest-...

JOINT STATEMENT: Hollywood Labor on Pulling of Jimmy Kimmel Live w/ @sagaftra.org @directorsguild.bsky.social @afm-union.bsky.social

The media allowing Trump plausible deniability on Project 2025 during the campaign is right up there with Iraq War stenography in craven, lazy disgracefulness

“You used to be able to say anything” comedians never been more quiet in their lives

Well tonight I saw David Byrne live and in another life I think I would have been a premiere league groupie.

This list is good and correct but also I will be a broken record all season about the god-tier performances from Ethan Hawke in BLUE MOON and Yeom Hye-ran in NO OTHER CHOICE

He went out on such a high note

One of my faves of the year is now available to rent or buy on demand! 💙

"I just want to say, go birds, fuck ICE and free Palestine," "Hacks" star Hannah Einbinder at the #Emmys

Not a game to me etc.

Angelina Jolie is great in COUTURE (movie so-so) and it is nice to see her in something more grounded again: www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/cou...

Haven’t yet seen another performance this TIFF on the level of Amanda Seyfried in THE TESTAMENT OF ANN LEE and it’s probably not close.

TIFF trends: OUT: Scotiabank escalator broken IN: Airbnb elevator broken

Channing Tatum is excellent in Derek Cianfrance’s ROOFMAN and a perfect actor for Cianfrance’s whole deal with sad, flawed guys. From me at TIFF for The Daily Beast: www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/roo...

Maybe my best ever TIFF movie day yesterday? Maybe so!

Between SIRÂT and THE TESTAMENT OF ANN LEE and my lack of sleep, the running theme for my TIFF has been “physical torment while seeking the divine”

Anyway, GRIFFIN IN SUMMER is out and you should go see it!

The last film I expected to have a Kylie Minogue needle drop at TIFF was the Claire Denis, AND YET

je suis arrivé, say hi

Oh you love Elizabeth Taylor too? My autocorrect capitalizes “giant”!

Wrote something for The Guardian’s “My feelgood movie” series!

Completely flipped for GRIFFIN IN SUMMER, a comedy that could have felt like staring into a funhouse mirror reflection of my teenage self if not for its relentless generosity and (most importantly) laser sharp humor.
