Listen, finances are tight for many of us who'd care but this is truly one of those "if everyone who liked this stuff gave $20" situations too. This is important work. There are also installment plans for larger pledges if you have consistent income but are broke right now.

Proud to have contributed a look at the attempted eroticization of the Stooges, including a deep dive into Not the Three Stooges XXX (2012), a wild text clearly built from a lot of Stooge admiration

The kids don't know about the Amanda Bynes poster hastily airbrushed to avoid implying she endorsed peace

Honestly I think the leadup to the Iraq war was worse than all this because the buy-in was so all-encompassing. I keep asking myself how anyone could fall for it again but the thing is, they mostly haven't

I'm catching up with some films that I didn't review last year. I liked HIGHEST 2 LOWEST & I'm always eager to see Spike Lee add to his canvas www.patreon.com/posts/148050...

Notions of a film being good or bad are largely uninteresting to me when a director reaches the point in their career that an artist like Spike Lee has. When a filmmaker has made this many films it’s usually more prudent to quantify the way he does and doesn’t fit into the cultural landscape, and how he is, or is not, evolving alongside it, or rebelling against it. Lee is one of the most important American artists of his generation, and he’s still on his own wavelength, against the wind, but his centrality within his own aesthetic is worth celebrating. As is his distinct point-of-view, his personality, the way he repeats his prized images, or modifies them only slightly. A Patrick Ewing Jersey has transformed into a Jalen Brunson one, and Larry Bird is still the enemy. Lee remains true to the integrity of what he wants to communicate, even if his communication surrounding certain trends can be read as cringy. In his Akira Kurosawa remix Highest 2 Lowest, he approaches the material with an old-man’s paranoia at what he’s seeing in the modern world, but that anxiety breeds fruitful results of personalization within the text. Denzel Washington plays Y2K-era record producer David King, and the glory days of his Stackin’ Hits record label are behind him. They want him to sell the company to a venture capitalist who sees A.I. as the future, and King gets riled up at the thought, “Hits with no soul! No voice!”, and he’s right to be angry sitting in his office with portraits of geniuses of the craft like Curtis Mayfield, James Brown and Run D.M.C. resting behind him like saints in his church of sound. The money he’s made in the decades since making it big has made his golden ears ring, and he can’t find the hits anymore, and everyone is telling him that the only way forward is liquidation. One last sum of money for all his work, transferred in exchange for the dream he made true. He could ride off into the sunset and listen to the old songs, but something nags at him

"I know I'll miss him forever" 🤍 We, like so many film lovers, are devastated to hear about the passing of the great Rob Reiner. Thank you for decades of movies that made us laugh and cry, often at the same time.
