What it's like being the World's Biggest PTA Fan© that just can't vibe (even after 5 views) with ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER.

I pray that Ethan Warren is slowly making his way to L.A. from Boston to meet me.

It's very lonely here.

One cool easter egg in the even better than you've heard @onebattlemovie: the grocery store Bob grabs his sunglasses from is in Trinidad, CA, one time home of Thomas Pynchon. (I'm familiar with it for the obvious reason.)

Holy auteur, Batman! Way to go,
@thefridacinema.org! And what a great title for a Paul Thomas Anderson retrospective leading up to the release of his tenth narrative feature, One Battle After Another! 😎

Why does it feel like my favorite show isn't getting the attention it deserves?

I was fortunate enough to watch this guy work up close on LICORICE PIZZA. I was unaware of his legendary status at the time, but boy was he impressive. So much energy. I can still hear his distinctive, "And....action, ACTION!"

If you want to know how indispensable Adam Somner was, look at his credits: 22 movies for Spielberg, Paul Thomas Anderson, and Ridley Scott alone. Whenever I heard his name spoken during a production, it was usually preceded by "Thank God for." Gone much too soon. RIP. deadline.com/2024/11/adam...

Man, who would have predicted that my favorite film of the year so far would be an animated feature from Latvia? Do yourself a favor and see FLOW (2024) with as little advance awareness as you can...no reviews, no Googling...

Serious question about #Teeter and her accent on #Yellowstone. Is it a skillful performance of an actual accent--or a terrible or exaggerated performance of a "normal" regional accent? 🤔

I’d like to go back to the ‘70s and tell people that this guys son wound up with Minnie Riperton’s daughter, and that they’re both cultural treasures.
