Not only an incredible talent, but a rare talent who also thought it was funny to just voice random memes every once in a while

“There’s a Starbucks inside Yosemite that’s run by emo women” is true yet also a siren song designed to trap a very specific kind of person

On non-election and non-political-hellscape matters, @jacoboller.bsky.social at the @avclub.com continues to bring it. Aside from astute criticism and analysis, he’s a fine interviewer and if you’ve any love for Criterion and Kubrick, this is a read for you!

Kubrick bummed so many smokes from crew members when making 2001: A Space Odyssey that they started keeping empty cartons on them to prove that they were out

We all know the "Viggo broke his toe" story but what's another movie fact you're personally compelled to bring up every time without prompting? For me, it's the fact that Robin Tunney is wearing a wig in The Craft because of having just shaved her head to save her job filming Empire Records.

I got extremely nerdy with Michael Chaiken, producer of Criterion's amazing new Complete Kubrick set! We talked about restoring Kubrick's shorts, the one shot in Eyes Wide Shut that still drove its DP crazy, and much more: www.avclub.com/the-complete...

This rules. Reading about how collaborative this was, the art design, the restoration, licensing, etc., it just makes me think even more about what total dog shit AI is. Work with real people! Hire people! Make something beautiful like this!

we all love The Devils, but perhaps you wanna get even weirder with Ken Russell, ranging from Lisztomania to his time on Big Brother:

Jacob Oller@jacoboller.bsky.social

The Devils has a new uncut 4K restoration, which means it's time to go long and hard on Ken Russell www.avclub.com/primer-ken-r...

We are so lucky that two of the year's best movies are coming out the same weekend. I wrote about Once Upon A Time In Harlem back at Sundance:
