Cincinnati, where the fast food fish sandwich commercials signal the coming of Lent far more aggressively than any church.

RIP Carl Dean, prayers UP for Dolly 💗

Medically speaking...how long can the vibes be deeply off for before a natural course correction HAS to take place?? Because by my count, it's been All Fucked Up since the Cubs won the World Series + sent us into the Wrong Timeline.

Celebs who are staying fat in the age of GLP-1 drugs…your service is very much appreciated!!

I was honored to make my Ebert debut for Women Writers Week by penning a short little ode to a film that's brought me great comfort over the past few years. I hope you enjoy it! (And thanks for inviting me aboard, @nellminow.bsky.social!)

I had such a gr8 time chatting about my beloved MIRACLE MILE with Jen 📞 💥 💣

Definitely not mad about Mikey winning but goddamnit, that was probably Demi's last shot :(

No Other Land just won an Oscar without US distribution. Absolutely legendary for them, this film and its message. The most important award of this year, hands down.

ANORA sweep incoming???

MAKE CONAN OUR BOB HOPE

Emotionally preparing for the Lynch tribute from these two, of COURSE Rossellini is in BLUE VELVET 😭

That's my MAN

No offense, but I have the best possible Oscars date this year 💖 Mom even gets to hang out with me in the virtual press room!

Happy Oscar day, everybody ✨

SO bummed to miss this tonight - LA, you better turn out for Susan Streitfeld!

Thrilled to say that I have a NEW essay in @vinsyn.bsky.social/Dark Star's release of Deborah Twiss' SAPIOSEXUAL + TABOO: FAMILY SECRETS 👀 Read me reckon with the state of the DTV erotic thriller in the age of streaming, porn's impact on ~the movies~ + more! vinegarsyndrome.com/products/sap...

DEEPLY HEALING

Few natural highs higher than when a new beauty product does EXACTLY what it's supposed to upon first use.

Happy 30th to an absolutely essential K8 record, TO BRING YOU MY LOVE. youtu.be/4nx7Y_xw3cM?...

Hell is simply not hot enough for these ghouls!!

RIP KING 🤍

Here’s me headed to the Oscars on this day in 2k17, blissfully unaware of the MOONLIGHT/LA LA LAND debacle about to unfold…

Absolutely awful news about Michelle Trachtenberg, a pillar of so many of our millennial weird girl childhoods. Rest easy, kid 🤍

Come back to cable television to discover fine programs such as: AWAKE SURGERY ACCIDENT, SUICIDE OR MURDER BOTCHED BARIATRICS KILLER SIBLINGS and of course MILF MANOR

James Spader & Maggie Gyllenhaal star in SECRETARY (2002), screening in 35mm this coming Friday, February 28th, at 2:00pm. Tickets: buff.ly/4grMLCD

Did a cable flip to ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD just in time for this + almost lost it…I love + miss you, Los Angeles. youtu.be/fjfN8pnFHcA?...

Happy 40th, Songs From the Big 🪑 youtu.be/i01FaBb6AaA?...

Man, I'd be a lot more excited for the new Sodey if That Guy was not the lead!

Mostly just made up of rosehip oil + static electricity at this point in winter.

Rewatching HEARTBURN with Mom…we used to make MOVIES in this country, goddamnit.

Hobby Lobby is RIGHT THERE 💔

You guys…the DJ on the Cincinnati oldies station said “Killing Me Softly” was written about Don Maclean + I fact-checked him and it IS! I love learning New Music Facts™️

Happy Twin Peaks day from the gr8 American Midwest, where the only Twin Peaks we have is a weirdo Hooters knockoff. (That’s James’ motorcycle, obviously)

SO! @oldfilmsflicker.bsky.social wrote an amazing book featuring interviews with 19 women filmmakers and I drew portraits for all of them! It’s called CINEMA HER WAY and it’s out TOMORROW! Please enjoy my silly photoshoot and more importantly: buy this book!!!! bookshop.org/p/books/cine...

HA HA HA YES

LISA VS. MALIBU STACY + BART ON THE ROAD

Sean has been actively and vocally supporting not just my work but that of so many of my fellow crit-sisters for many, many years now, especially those of us who work heavily in exploitation, genre and transgressive cinema spaces. He's a proper ally! Be like Sean 🩷

FEMALE PERVERSIONS (featuring an essay by yours truly) is now Sean Baker-approved, get your copy here 💄 🔪 vinegarsyndrome.com/products/fem...

the four words every girl wants to hear

Absolutely thrilled to see Jessica Gunning continue to rack up awards this year but as always, I just hope she’ll be able to transcend the one gr8 role fat actors are often allowed.
