Since I can’t be at the Roxie’s Frederick Wiseman mini-retrospective (Aspen plays this afternoon and I’m so jealous of anyone seeing that one projected big!) I watched one of the last few of his movies I’d never seen before: boxd.it/9o7TKv

If I was in the Pacific Northwest I would buy tickets ASAP to the May 20th 35mm IB Technicolor screening of All That Heaven Allows at the Hollywood Theatre in Portland. Pretty sure this is the same gorgeous print I saw in Berkeley in 2018 & it’s sure to sell out. hollywoodtheatre.org/show/all-tha...

I don’t think of Alamo Drafthouse as often as I did when I lived in a state that had them, but I like to check in on what’s going on with the company every so often, so Vikram’s article on their New York City theatres & their employees’ righteous resistance to a crappy corporate culture is welcome.

I watched a Star Wars release print more than five & less than ten years ago, but it was a private, invitation-only showing. Would be another thing entirely to see it with fans. But the rest of this program is even more amazing (Un Chien Andalou & A Day in the Country on nitrate?) Checking flights…

Supreme Court really scared to say 'no' to Trump because if he ignores them, everyone will know they are powerless. But I think they are kidding themselves. They are already powerless. Democracy ended in this country on January 6, 2021, and only now are people figuring it out. Sad!

Found myself compelled to write a mini-survey of a music scene occurring the year I turned 16: electronic alt-pop music in that under-remembered zone between Nine Inch Nails/Nitzer Ebb (too angry), Neneh Cherry/Prince (too funky) & 808 State/Hithouse (too instrumental)

Watched Top Secret! last night for the first time and boy is that movie a fun time! (sure, a few jokes that don’t land but there’s no time to linger on them as it’s always on to the next one)

And when he says “state officials” he means Mississippi officials. They get to inspect all the other states’ DEI elimination programs and report back their findings on whether they’ve been eliminated enough.
