Currently reading "Garbo and the Nightwatchmen", a remarkable collection of film criticism from 1937 (my edition is a 1971 reprint, but it's still vibrantly, vividly mid 30s.).
With your permission, I'm going to reproduce Cecilia Ager's eulogy to Margaret Dumont, because it's *amazing*.

Extremely excited about this new John Wilson movie that just premiered at Sundance. Assuming it will have many screenings at his Ridgewood microcinema!

I see lots of valiant attempts from people citing various action movies, but the correct answer is "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World"
What's the single overall best car chase in cinema history? One that almost has everything you would want from a car chase?
It's not a bold or original answer, but I think I have to go with the French Connection

Unheard Albums 2026! Jan 1 - ROSALÍA - LUX (2025)
Serious but massively popular act makes a bold 4th album artistic statement by synthesising their music with elements of a wholly different genre; the crowd goes wild. Yes, it’s the 20s’ Kid A, the twist is that this time it’s good

Being absolutely terrible at self-promotion, I forgot to post that I have a new album of (mostly) covers out.
It’s de/re/constructed takes on the Grateful Dead, Sonny Sharrock, AWB and others.
It’s called “Partly Uncovered” and you can find it here:
