Upon the release of her excellent short, Don't Be Long, Little Bird, I sat down with director Reem Jubran. We spoke about the film, shooting a Palestine the West rarely sees and what she'd like to see more of from non-Palestinians. Read it here: bit.ly/3FXJGxG

I was at Film Forum a month early for a screening that I had the date wrong on, was looking down at my phone in disbelief and right as I mumbled "what the FUCK" to myself, someone asked if I had the time, I looked up and it was Susan Sarandon

Excellent new short, Don't Be Long, Little Bird from director Reem Jubran is out today. Shot in the US + Palestine, it's a lovely journey of self-discovery and an often unseen depiction of a country by western media. So worth your time. 🇵🇸🇵🇸 Watch here: t.co/YyBMsVYJjV

Reflection in a Dead Diamond: Forzani & Cattet are back with a Eurosleeze fever dream that seems to take place within the final synapse of Connery’s Bond in that brief moment between his departure and Lazenby uttering “this never happened to the other fella.” Fucking loved it.

There’s gotta be a Predator who sucks, right? Like a guy they sent Earth to hone his skills and got his ass kicked by the first tough guy he picked a fight with

Taking a break from all the Predator posting to sit back and congratulate Brandon on a truly stellar interview. Boyle seems incredibly enthusiastic and delightful to talk about both his and the process. I love Brandon's remarkable interview process. A real inspiration.

For Letterboxd, I had the distinct privilege of sitting down with Danny Boyle, a filmmaker whose work has meant more to me than almost anyone. We talked a lot about trains. You can watch in full in the link below:

De Niro told a cool story about how the reason he’s kept (then donated) so much of his onscreen wardrobe is that he was told while doing costume fittings for Godfather II, that the shoes he was trying on were Warren Beatty’s in Bonnie & Clyde and he didn’t think that was right

Been slammed with work and have been neglecting my Substack. In lieu of new posts for a bit, I'm going to periodically bring some stuff out from behind the paywall. First up, a super rewarding conversation with one of my favorite filmmakers, Andrew Ahn. open.substack.com/pub/brandons...

After months of doing this and that, I’m extremely proud to say that today’s my first day as Programming Manager Consultant at Cineverse. My purview will be helping to curate the Fandor and Midnight Pulp labels. Very excited for this chapter.

April (Dea Kulumbegashvili): Absolutely flattened by this one. A pro-abortion drama that manifests the weight of the loneliness that comes from performing a thankless, traumatizing job into a withered husk creature, empty space and a cacophonous soundscape. Major.

Tried to rewatch Sunshine as I go through Boyle, threw my blu ray on and five minutes in it was immediately unusable because a glitch on the disc prevents you from turning off a picture-in-picture feature of the crew talking about the movie. So heads up if you own it I guess

I didn't see hide nor hair of Abott or Costello in that Frankenstein trailer. Looks like it'll be a PASS from me

Strumpet: a year before 28 Days Later, Danny Boyle and Anthony Dod Mantle were experimenting with miniDV on BBC. Some insane images in this, a lot of mixing with janky computer effects. Reminded me a bit of what Jia’s doing in Caught by the Tides. Good movie.

Stunt Pro Yvette Ferguson came out of retirement to be set on fire in Final Destination: Bloodlines. Now she’s gunning for a Guinness World Record as the oldest woman to be set on fire on screen. Of course I had to talk to her about it. www.womenshealthmag.com/life/a649297...

I said it before and I’ll say it again, it’s things like this, highlighting people in the industry like this that shows that Brandon is one of the most vital people we have writing about the art of film
