Good morning! For @nytimes.com, I had the immense pleasure of talking to Baz Luhrmann and his collaborator Jonathan Redmond about how they combed through boxes of long-forgotten Elvis footage from a salt mine in Kansas to create their marvelous new documentary "EPiC." Gift link:

There are like 40 perfect examples of this exactly in TERMS OF ENDEARMENT, but the one that always gets me is at the very end when Nicholson takes Winger’s eldest son to see his swimming pool as a field trip away from her funeral 😭
Jessica Ritchey@jmritchey.bsky.social · 7mo agoThis is a favorite question to ask. Favorite little moment of kindness in a movie? I'm thinking of Tim Blake Nelson leaving money on the sill after they steal a pie in O Brother.

Aw, this is nice. Loved writing this piece on LIFEBOAT for Paste. It was previously a Hitchcock blind spot and I had a blast digging deep with it.

Delightfully bonkers that someone decided these two movies would make a good "comedian double feature."

Shane Anderson 🏳️🌈@shaneanderson.bsky.social · 7mo agoRevisited @brianduffield.bsky.social's SPONTANEOUS today. The film has become exponentially more profound in light of the world today. It's frustrations @ the "cosmic bullshit of the universe" reverberate and move me even deeper now. Phenomenally lit, too (hard sources, YAY!) Incredible first film.

The Return of the King at 20: In Defense of All Those Endings
Reverence for Tolkien persists throughout the Lord of The Rings films, but nowhere is it more evident than Return of the King's ending.

I have seen not one journalist ask Ethan Hawke this press tour about his defining role in the Duffield household, Batman. You’re all lazy and need to ask more questions about ETHAN HAWKE AS BATMAN.
