Proud and relieved to present my belated contribution to the recent Reverse Shot symposium, the hardest film piece I've ever written: on Bertrand Bonello's masterpiece NOCTURAMA, the pains of the writing process, being rootless in your mid-20s, and how films can save you:

CHALLENGERS (2024, Guadagnino): First Luca I outright loved. Every single person involved is on fire.
Feeling adventurous so I’m walking two miles from my house to the nearest movie theater to see Challengers.

.@realJackEason has always recommended this Polish variant of Jaffa Cakes over the years and I’m glad I finally took him up on them: they’re as good as the real thing, and at a fraction of the cost.
FANTASTIC MR. FOX (2009, Anderson): “That’s just weak songwriting! You wrote a bad song, Petey!” You can argue what Wes’s best is, but top to bottom this one is such a cussin’ delight that it’s pretty much perfect.
Update: we made popcorn.

Introducing Dalton to some art. My man is *enraptured*.
Perfectly fine, though at two hours it does become too much to bear for how little action there is, especially when its full of allusions to tauter, better films (John Wick even gets name-checked). I did appreciate the mouth-grab of the knife handle, more films should do that.

Me in the bathroom trying to find and put on a bandaid when I cut myself while my wife is at work
just rewatched this over the weekend and i think after bill duke's brilliant DEEP COVER, this is my favorite neo-noir of the 90s. tough, smart, taut moviemaking. peerlessly observed details of racial and class dynamics, both institutional and social. a total stunner of an ending.
The late Bill Paxton gives one of his finest performances as the small-town sheriff in over his head in this superlative neo-noir from director Carl Franklin.
And there will be torrents of The People's Joker. It's guaranteed now that it has a distribution deal (with Altered Innocence). When it hits, you can grab it. You don't have to tell the director.
@JakeTropila I torrented that film before I even came through the door.
For that math to make sense it would require everyone who pirated a film to never pay money for it down the road, in my experience that's almost never the case
Obviously a touchy subject but I don't believe piracy has ever materially affected a film's commercial prospects
You can't torrent anymore because of the extreme left and P.C. crap. It used to be, you would go home at the end of the day, most people would go, ‘Oh, “Cheers” is on demonoid, Oh, there's a "MASH” folder on a blogspot.' Well guess what -- where is it?
I think it's funny to promote your film as being illegal and then get mad when people say they want to torrent it
my dog Jesse’s going to put to sleep tomorrow. she is a very old dog and has lived longer than anyone could have expected, but it is absolutely crushing and I can’t stop crying
happy to share a bday with so many greats!
It’s the birthday of both Maya Deren and King Hu, two of the all time greats. Their movies mean a lot me.
