I just escaped BEAU IS AFRAID. It’s like being trapped in a 3-hour anxiety attack, or a supercut of every nightmare scenario I’ve ever experienced. It’s blunt, disgusting, crude, pretentious, filled with puerile Freudian symbolism. Loved it.

Also scarier than anything in HEREDITARY or MIDSOMMAR.

Me, the only person in the packed theater cackling as John Wick tumbles down 120 stairs:

When he said, "Maybe it's time to reboot BIO-DOME," @bigfannypacknrg went "Yeah!"
I don’t know if you guys saw the @TheAcademy Awards last night, but @jimmykimmel poked fun at me in the monologue. I loved it. But what I REALLY loved is that my old buddies from back in the day, Brendan Fraser and Ke Huy Quan, took home the Oscars! Never quit on your dreams.

What’s the funniest joke in the history of television? Has to be a single joke/gag don’t come here detailing entire episodes and story arcs. “Dead dove do not eat” type of stuff.

Love the tradition of critically acclaimed films finally hitting streaming platforms so that the dumbest people on earth can share their takes that further expose their critical incuriosity/general artistic & ideological illiteracy, lol just kidding I hate it

Once again, begging non-movie people to reconsider before posting about movies

Rewatched THE GRADUATE last week, and it's wild that a movie like this could not only be the highest grossing film of its year but also this visually audacious.

Joan Micklin Silver's CHILLY SCENES OF WINTER is very good and very much deserving of rediscovery!
✨ Announcing our MARCH 2023 Criterion Collection titles! ✨ A nightmarish odyssey into the deepest realms of the unconscious mind, a wuxia whirlwind from a master of the heroic tragedy, and a singular anti–romantic comedy from a trailblazing director! criterion.com/shop/browse?po…

Elvis Mitchell's IS THAT BLACK ENOUGH FOR YOU?!? is my favorite genre of doc - movie clips woven together to support a larger thesis - that's also about my favorite decade of film. Funny, personal, surprising. My watchlist has practically doubled because of it. On Netflix now!

Me at the start of each year: I’m really going to keep up on all the exciting new albums coming out! Me, like 2 weeks later: Or I could just keep relistening to all the same old shit and refusing to broaden my musical horizons! 🤗

RIP Christine McVie, who wrote some of the best pure pop songs of the '70s. This is my favorite. youtube.com/watch?v=v9RoVu9s…

Really loved THE FABELMANS. Spielberg reimagines his childhood as a prototypical Spielberg Movie: A big, earnest, sometimes corny slice of Americana that also considers how film itself distorts memory in its search for the emotional truth. His best and most personal in years.

ok, but my fest would be lit (don’t know how Bruce missed the cut, he’s always on repeat)

My haul from the month-long Criterion sale (plus a few other odds and ends)
