Film lover, freelance writer , contributor to Dallas Film Now. Avid reader of true crime and history. Baseball fan who's watched the Ken Burns documentary 9 times. Hoping this place is a nice alternative

Two film score nominations so far this year: Tune-Yards for "I Love Boosters" and Pino Donaggio for "Her Private Hell" Neither will happen in a million years but I can dream.

The pieces Rayns wrote for Sight and Sound back in the day were mandatory for me. As a teenage film lover in podunk Texas, I never quite knew how to see all the films he talked about, but, over time, it made me seek them out. That's what a great writer does.

Our understanding of East Asian cinema would be a sliver of what we know if it wasn’t for Tony. He did a program at Bologna one year of ridiculously rare Chinese films from 1947-1953 that basically don’t exist on any of the rare torrent sites, much less even VHS or DVD. RIP to a legend

I hope people and some friends who, last year, said the incoming administration "won't be that bad" rue their words. They won't, though. This is all going to end terribly.
