*Mild spoilers for Nickel Boys Early in the film, we see Elwood look at his arm after watching MLK at a rally on TV. It’s the first time he identifies himself as black in a social sense. The film then cuts to black and we then see Ethan Herisse as the older Elwood

It’s over

Turning your account from Private to Public to dunk on someone

Thinking about the Captain Grogan character in Barry Lyndon, one of Kubrick’s few true warm spots. If something as silly and simple as wanting to fuck your cousin can spark an odyssey that leads to death, then why can’t faith in a young man do the same

?

It’s funny, I told my parents that Bradley Cooper has a new cheesesteak place in the city and my Dad was like “Ok but he’s not going to be there at all” and yet

Best first watches of 2024

So check this out. Mohamed's pea fruits are forming in his small garden in his camp. He's a natural farmer. He still needs a lot of help though & is still starving despite being able to supplement his food by growing things, so consider giving to him today.

This bit crossed my mind again. After making his worst film, Wes crafts his most mature work to date, one that disproves every criticism of his formalism while integrating the energies of Classic Hollywood into it (Minnelli is definitely here.) It means so much to me.

Favorite First Watches of 2024

Have seen thoughtful criticism of the film as a whole but also fuck the haters, Queer has the soundtrack of the year

Rewatched The Handmaiden for the first time in years the other day. An obvious statement but Kim Min-hee. One of the modern greats

The unproblematic king of 2024

Am once again thinking about the incredibly goofy line deliveries of these newsmen in Zack Snyder’s Watchmen

I love how unglamorous this photo is. It looks like they took this in a bathroom somewhere

Acute hardship. No words. www.theguardian.com/world/2024/d...

The warning about "decivilization" didn't come after any one of a number of school shootings. It didn't come after January 6. It was after a health insurance company CEO's shooting wasn't received with national mourning: www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

I am sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Mai. Mai was an interior designer before the war and has two tiny children who she lives with now in a tent. She is hoping to evacuate Gaza but also just needs help to survive the winter. www.gofundme.com/f/help-mai-a...

Just as The Shrouds rings in some Toronto pride with its milk in plastic bags, Paul Schrader thankfully comes in to remind cinema goers that Canada is lame and boring

New Brutalist trailer reminded me of how amazing Guy Pierce is in it as Phillip Seymour Hoffman in The Master lmao

first example of bi erasure that has offended me
