i love this book! smart + gorgeous + a great gift for film nerds. features some of my all-time favorites (Dog Day Afternoon! 25th Hour!), and a couple times when i couldn't decide what to watch i just opened to a random page which is how i finally watched Panic in Needle Park and After Hours

My book FUN CITY CINEMA: NEW YORK CITY AND THE MOVIES THAT MADE IT was published five years ago today. It's still the most challenging project of my career and the work I'm proudest of. Give it a read! You might like it! buff.ly/d7YBTNa

I am MOST of the way through Max's opus and it is FABULOUS and fascinating, do yourself a favor and pick it up to read all about the SEVERAL movies Spielberg almost made before E.T. (would kinda still love to see REEL TO REEL?!?)

It was, due to the lamest "own the cons" of all time, under the leadership of Merrick fucking Garland, a man who was chosen for SCOTUS specifically because he was so goddamn milquetoast. When we look back on ALLLLLLLL THIS, his utter toothlessness as AG should not be understated

I just think when some guy from YouTube ruins his own life by being a dipshit, I should get to continue not knowing who he is instead of hearing about him all the time!

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

It’s difficult to imagine some of the twisted shit that’s going to be hatefully bellowed through microphones in the next week

No, but it's gonna need one hell of a paint job and a shitload of screen doors.

There can never be another "water under the bridge" administration ever again, and part of that is going to involve shaming everyone on board with this one - voters included - as the disgusting pig racists they are

It’s just so appalling and enraging how casual and commonplace this has become. I’m out of words.

…but also treating designated groups of Others as second class citizens at best, with active measures of cruelty and dehumanization, is a core tenet of the right wing project. A Democrat who echoes those positions is not just a disappointment, but a collaborator.

I appreciate that Oliver spent his whole show basically testing the Ellisons tolerance for dissent.

Calling all critics, voters, and list-makers! Here's all the 2026 films having one-week, awards-qualifying theatrical runs this year:

NO YOU DON'T SAY

I feel like… this is just… the ad?

Lord I see what you've done for others etc

He's still got it!
