Texas conservatives who've championed book bans & anti-LGBT policies suffered big losses tonight in school board races. And They seem to have lost their working majorities to pass their policies in big school boards. I tracked these results in FOUR boards tonight. So a 🧵 on each ICYMI.

Finally saw Peter Yates' "Robbery" (1967), and yes, such my kind of crime thriller. Refreshing break from the glitzy, inconsequential Euro capers and swaggy star-laden Hollywood heist films of the era.

As a social experiment for the stupid, anytime someone actually calls it the "Gulf of America", play dumb, ask them where it is over and over, and make them point to it on a map for you.

Classic film PSA- this Friday the 24th @tcmtv.bsky.social is airing some hard-to-find gangster films like Boetticher's "Rise and Fall of Legs Diamond", Rod Steiger as "Al Capone" and two 1940's Dillinger interpretations, one of them with Lawrence Tierney from '45. Great lineup all day.

My favorite Lynch memory. Watching "Mulholland Drive" in a theater with ONE other person. In the scene where Naomi Watts is breaking apart and little people are crawling under the door for her, the projector broke and burned. Me and the ONE other patron sat there, stunned for about 3 minutes.

Random movie recommendation of the day. Winterbottom was on a tear for about a decade (love love love his mid 90's film "Wonderland") and "The Claim is just perfection.

"Blitz"- McQueen loses his hand on the tone a couple of times, but it regains quickly and becomes a moving tale of survival. Also, some exciting filmmaking (as usual, those dance scenes!) and perhaps my favorite score of the year so far.

Watched "Anora" twice over the weekend and it just grows as a masterpiece whose controlled chaos is matched only by the quiet, but devastating, moments slipped in along the way.

"His Three Daughters" - In addition to its three great, Oscar worthy performances from Carrie Coon, Nathasha Lyonne, and Elizabeth Olsen, Azazel Jacobs' "His Three Daughters" excels in subtle visual intelligence. Jacobs has made some essential films over the years, but none as piercing as this.

"Between Friends" (1973) - Low key Canadian film about the emotional contours that develop between a young Michael Parks and Bonnie Bedelia while waiting to commit a heist. Their chemistry is palpable and the film deserves a rediscovery... or just discovery.
