RIP to my dad, who passed away earlier this morning, just a month before his 73rd birthday. Nothing prepares you for aging parents, and very few things are more cruel than seeing loved ones suffer near end-of-life. But at least he's no longer in pain after a lifetime of health problems. Love you Dad

There are no words to fully express my enmity and disgust at the people who voted for this. A national day of shame.

David Lynch was a singular force over the past 50 years. His existentialist subversion of American iconography + surrealistic (often nightmarish) world building may not have been to everyone's taste, but it was unforgettable and pushed the artistic frontier of cinema all the same. A huge loss. RIP.

As someone who's only minimally versed in Bob Dylan, I did nonetheless really enjoy A COMPLETE UNKNOWN, largely because of the performances and music. Chalamet is excellent as young Dylan, and just as impressive are Ed Norton as Pete Seeger and esp. Monica Barbaro as Joan Baez.

One of my New Year's resolutions was already to read more Didion (whom I haven't really read in almost 20 years) before the events of this week.

You’re 💯 right. I hadn’t been there since the reno.

Will need to sit on BABYGIRL a bit - my first read is that it's too detached and an intellectually surface level portrayal of dom/sub relationships (and the power dynamics therein). But none of that detracts from Nicole Kidman's terrific performance - one of her very best.

Robert Eggers faithfully updates Murnau's NOSFERATU w/ his brand of beautiful yet unsparingly austere historical horror. I'm mixed on Skarsgard's Orlok, but Hoult, Depp, Dafoe, and McBurney are all great.

RIP to one of the most thoroughly decent men ever elected as POTUS. As a Millennial grappling with the economic avarice Reagan unleashed, I bemoan that Jimmy Carter wasn’t really given a fair shake.

Of the dozen or so books about the craft of screenwriting/filmmaking I’ve read in the past year, “Directing Actors” is by far the most paradigm shifting. All types of gears I didn’t know I had are now clicking in my brain. An essential read.

Like its predecessor, GLADIATOR II is a director's film. But not even Sir Ridley still delivering impressive spectacle nor Denzel back in full scheming Mephistophelean form compensates for a deficient script nor the missing emotional core of GLADIATOR from Russell Crowe's singular performance.
