2025 is such a wild year for movies bc by my count, there are 11 Oscar-winning directors with movies out this year (Levinson, Gibson, Cameron, Soderbergh, Howard, E. Coen, Boyle, Bigelow, del Toro, Bong, Zhao)!

very sad to hear the news about Jill Sobule. she wrote songs for an incredible musical of Yentl that premiered at the Asolo Rep in 2012, and I often wish to see it produced again.

Been watching some classics this year that I’d somehow missed. I can’t believe I went my whole life without seeing It Happened One Night or The Philadelphia Story! My god, both are wonderful. And on Tubi, so free to watch! (With absurd commercial break placement)
