@abc13houstontexas.bsky.social recently ran a story on The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston showing 35mm films. I like to think I had some influence on this (see link in comments). abc13.com/videoClip/mf...

Now an Oscar winner. www.nashvillescene.com/arts_culture...

“Did you even say thank you?”

Ramell Ross really is a cinematic philosopher. I have to believe people will find and appreciate NICKEL BOYS in due time And I need him and André Holland to make something together in future

Modern libraries are my favorite place in the world. I cannot believe the level of cool free stuff that's available now! I loved the library as a kid, but if I grew up with resources like these I probably would have lived there 😂

Anora would not have been my pick of the nominees (I preferred The Brutalist and Nickel Boys), but it's a terrific movie, Sean Baker is the best, and I'm always so glad when an outright comedy wins Best Picture. The cinema!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mikey Madison was great too but Demi Moore losing to a woman in her 20s is very on the nose

Jasmine had literally had enough. This is gonna be fun to watch.

Listen, I know a lot of y’all don’t like dude because of what you think he represents, but I grew up believing that if you did a monologue and got laughs from the audience, you didn’t bomb. This whole he-bombed-on-live-TV “narrative” just looks petty. youtu.be/HJf1qhsq5E4?...

Last night, thanks to a cold I’ve been trying to shake off, I passed out on the kitchen floor. The crazy part is this is the second time I fell out before Conan O’Brien hosted a movie awards show. (The first happened at a restaurant 11 years ago.) youtu.be/3mY6VL-EtDU?...

This is why I believe EMILIA PEREZ is gonna sweep up tonight.

David Johansen AND Angie Stone. Words can’t express how much I’m done with this fuckin’ year.

I wrote about RATS! (playing at River Oaks Theatre) for @houstonchronicle.com. www.houstonchronicle.com/entertainmen...

Finished Bill Zehme’s Carson book, an enviously erudite study of a celebrity who led an emotionally draining double life. (The most pleasant version of dude only showed up at night, in front of millions.)

Every Movie in 1999:

Sitting in a theater in 1989 and watching people get into hysterics at everything that was happening was a memorable experience.

@michaelmusto.bsky.social Wayne Barrett, and Nat Hentoff would all probably disagree with this take. The Village Voice's entire existence disproves this notion.

I still haven’t gotten over Trump hitting Zelensky with the “Don’t tell me how I feel!” I thought that shit only worked on boyfriends.

Listening to Al Green’s Hi Records Singles Collection because it’s literally the best thing to do right now. #selfcareAF

Looking forward to the next 48 hours of people on social media somehow convinced that Zelenskiy, the Tom Hanks of world leaders, is a bigger threat than Putin.

UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE comes to the Belcourt Wed-Sun, Mar 5-9 > bit.ly/UNIVERSAL-LANGUAGE

I keep coming back to this clip of two of my favorite YouTubers realizing people on the Internet are fuckin’ nuts. youtu.be/PggfJrQyGSM?...

I still have it. #RIPGeneHackman

I was privileged to know Gene Hackman because he played tennis with another Gene—Gene Wilder. And that Gene told him about a little role called The Blind Hermit in our movie YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN…

I reviewed UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE (playing at @belcourttheatre.bsky.social) for @nashvillescene.com. www.nashvillescene.com/arts_culture...

Weeks like this makes me wish Tom still did his annual fuck-the-Oscars rant. archive.org/details/Esqu...

Interviewed him on the same day I interviewed Elvis Mitchell for another piece. Still one of my greatest achievements. #RIPGeneHackman

Anybody else wanna shut 2025 the fuck down?

Doing deep dives on Harvey Weinstein’s horrible decisions as a studio head has become my love language. My latest Hellhole at @crooked-marquee.bsky.social: crookedmarquee.com/harveys-hell...

I wrote about SNEAKERS (playing at @belcourttheatre.bsky.social) for @nashvillescene.com. calendar.nashvillescene.com/calendars/al...

I once went in there and rented hard-to-find movies where Helen Mirren gets butt-bald-nekkid. God, I miss that place. www.houstonchronicle.com/entertainmen...

Anybody else itchy as fuck?

Some Rhythms of Unity ish for @culturemap.bsky.social. houston.culturemap.com/news/city-li...

I’m surprised there hasn’t been a magazine profile on Shane Gillis with the headline “The Funniest Comedian in America (But Which One?).”

@heyjackson.bsky.social on Donny and Roberta. oxfordamerican.org/magazine/iss...

Age yourself with a movie you saw in theaters. (Do drive-ins count?)

The very definition of triggered.

I’m starting to think that when someone accuses you of creating a “narrative,” what they’re really saying is “Everything you said is accurate and correct, but I don’t wanna accept it. So, I’ll just act upset for no reason.”

Because you feel like you’re in the Walter Hill movie THE DRIVER.

Currently dealing with some Foxy vs. @danyelsmith.bsky.social type shit. youtu.be/M7r8T0e5icU?...
