John Wilson’s “The History of Concrete” felt like a feature length episode of his HBO series. He brought his camcorder to intro the movie which was perfect. My letterboxd log: boxd.it/cMmcz5

The first movie I saw was “Carousel” with Chris Pine and Jenny Slate by “Sometimes I Think About Dying” director Rachel Lambert. I wrote about it for The Times. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

Have come to the conclusion that the “America” number from Spielberg’s #WestSideStory is the greatest uninterrupted five and a half minutes of feature film ever produced. youtu.be/hoQEddtFN3Q?...

Completely over the moon for Thom Andersen’s opus “Los Angeles Plays Itself.” Nearly three hours of the most fascinating piece of criticism I’ve ever encountered. Among other things, it finds time to extol the Dragnet franchise, critique L.A.’s transit system and rip a Diane Keaton movie to shreds.

i’ve seen the trailer for one battle after another enough times and in enough theaters to say that it’s the best trailer of the 2020s. “thank you sensei,” that little rug unrolling and the bits of score we hear are perfect every single time.

People saying F1 is a riff on the Top Gun Maverick formula… It’s more obviously a riff on Apple’s own Ted Lasso. Brad Pitt is Ted, pit crew is front office, owner vs shareholder tension.

overcompensating is soooo sharply written, every joke lands, the ensemble is so strong and it manages to be both a farcical and poignant depiction of college life like benito skinner you really did that shit!!

Even more insane is that, of the two, The Rehearsal has the more jaw-dropping aerial photography. Lost my mind at one of Nathan’s direct stares down the camera.

Insane to me that Nathan Fielder in The Rehearsal finale on HBO pulls off a greater stunt – commits to a more impressive bit – than Tom Cruise in the Mission: Impossible movie currently playing in theaters.

#MissionImpossible: The Final Reckoning is a mess! Chaotic and plotty, but every so often McQuarrie throws down something completely mesmerizing. Interestingly less reliant action. I loved that it’s littered with character actor performances. Bless Tom Cruise for deciding to go full Animaniac.
