All this talk about food, I’m getting hungry, girls. Writer (Vanity Fair, The Daily Beast, Vulture, elsewhere). This Had Oscar Buzz cohost. Etc. He/him.
Almost no one making movies understands us as a species as much as he does and I’ll be bereft when he won’t be around anymore showing us who we are!

Spoke to an IMAX projectionist and their VP of post-production about the fanfare surrounding the IMAX 70mm release of THE ODYSSEY. Fun story to put together. Read it below. 👇
The real odyssey moviegoers are on is the quest to visit one of the few theaters showing movies in IMAX 70mm www.avclub.com/the-odyssey-...
I have been told previously that my slobbery posts about Mandy Patinkin in Yentl are unbecoming
there is a recurring prompt around what’s the best that anyone has ever looked on camera and I never have an answer but I’m watching right now and I think it’s gotta be George Clooney in Ocean’s 11
Another banger of a This Had Oscar Buzz episode, if I do say so myself, with @pamelaribon.bsky.social returning to discuss Errol Morris' legendary (and Oscar-disqualified) doc "The Thin Blue Line." Yes, we talk extensively about spilt Burger King milkshakes. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/3...
THE ODYSSEY's instantly, predictably enormous success is Exhibit #32176 that the right wing's grievance-farming operation is not some great American cultural shift. Most people don't give a shit about their petty crusades.
Once you’ve seen The Odyssey, read my deep dive into Christopher Nolan’s most radical departure from the source material.
The Odyssey Pulls Off a Gods-Tier Twist
Zendaya’s Athena is the key to Christopher Nolan’s most radical change to the source material.

Troy Story: on the career-spanning resonance and secular magic of Christopher Nolan’s THE ODYSSEY, which, like so many of his great films, despairs over a point of no return — a time when mortals, for sheer cruelty, have left the gods behind. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...
Christopher Nolan Has Always Been Making “The Odyssey”
In a starry, stirring adaptation of Homer’s epic, the director’s signature realism grounds, without dispelling, the drama’s emotional and mythological power.

Explosion at the nepo baby factory. We get into it with our dear friend @chrisvfeil.bsky.social!
Today we’re talking about the 1994 biopic Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle with special guest @chrisvfeil.bsky.social. Plus: B-minus accent work, spoiling Dying Young, and the resurrection of Ian Holm. 🎧: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...
Here's my story about the making of THE ODYSSEY, which is somehow one of Christopher Nolan's biggest films and also one of his most intimate. www.vulture.com/article/chri...

SUCH a fun This Had Oscar Buzz episode this week, discussing the 2004 "Stepford Wives" with director Nicholas Colia ("Griffin in Summer")! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/3...
Tune in to hear @chrisvfeil.bsky.social’s Dorothy Parker impression.
For episode 5, This Had Oscar Buzz co-host @chrisvfeil.bsky.social joins us to talk about the 1994 biopic Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle. Pull up a chair at the Algonquin Round Table on 7/15!
The program notes for De Palma's THE UNTOUCHABLES (1987) on 70mm at @filmlinc.bsky.social had me choked up before the screening even began. Restorations are great, but experiencing the imperfections of a vintage print is sacred. My first big screen rewatch in 39 years and it was perfect. #FilmSky
Hello, hi, reminder that I will be at TIFF for a full week and am immensely hirable!

Suuuuper fun This Had Oscar Buzz episode dropped today, talking Luca Guadagnino's "Queer" with @mitchellbeaupre.bsky.social! Daniel Craig's career highlights, the louche appeal of gay Jason Schwartzman, and Luca turning away to the window... and then turning back. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...
I know this is not the biggest concern going these days, but it stresses me out that basically every artist/writer/critic is now expected to create their own tiny empire instead of getting paid by any existing entity to perform a job they've worked to get good at!!!!
