With Criterion Collection having recently released the massive Stanley Kubrick collection, I thought some would be interested in this essay on the great director working with pulp writer Jim Thompson. The two collaborated on The Killing and Paths of Glory. @mattzollerseitz.bsky.social

Recently I’ve been watching my former Chelsea, NYC neighbor Ethan Hawke in the cool FX neo-noir series The Lowdown, which is streaming on Hulu. Though I won’t get into the plot of this sizzling sou…

I'm a big fan of Scranton PA's own Cynthia Rothrock. Even when a movie she's in is dumb, she shines. And I think I came up with a good description of her default character: she's Bruce Lee crossed with Cindy Lauper.
KLARA AND THE SUN reminds me why, even though every movie manipulates our emotions, we reserve the expression "emotionally manipulative" for the ones that are too clumsy to get away with it. My review of Taika Waititi's latest misfire is at @thewrap.com.
'Klara and the Sun' Review: Jenna Ortega's Defective Robot Movie Struggles With Human Emotions
Jenna Ortega and Taika Waititi's adaptation about a naive robot who worships the sun is a three-hanky movie that can't count to three

Just about everyone's had a job where they're held to much stricter standards than anyone they answer to. What this century presupposes is: what if that was everywhere all the time, screaming in your face? It would probably be fine

Some News. After five wonderful years at /Film, I am saying goodbye and coming home to @fangoria.bsky.social , fully. I have a lot of big feelings about this and plenty more to say but for now, just know that I cannot wait to make you all proud.
Several people have asked about VAST OF NIGHT recently, as it's no longer streaming on Amazon. Spoke with director Andrew Patterson about it last night and he took the rights back, partnered with someone, and a physical and new streaming release is coming soon. So VAST OF NIGHT is coming back!
There should have been more movies where Charles Durning dances
It's not that audiences were more horny back in the day, it's just that studio execs and directors understood that a shitty movie might sell some tickets if there was boobs and sex in it and this guy only gave you the shitty movie

A lot of people don’t realize the dust bowl wasn’t a natural phenomenon. It happened when agrobusiness interests dramatically transformed the plains without regard for drought, and created vicious dust storms that choked whole families to death. That’s what I think of when I read about data centers.
everyone seems to be responding positively to this and i hate to burst anyone's bubble, but i recently went to a Luddite festival in NYC and this is something organizers specifically warned about: don't let capitalists sell your hatred of capitalism back to you

J. K. Rowling posting an upskirt photo of a trans woman and then claiming she was "asking for it" because of the way she was dressed... you'd get laughed out of the writer's room if you tried to do it in an Armando Ianucci show.
This is a VERY bad month for me financially. One surprise after another. Right now, if you've ever considered signing up for the newsletter, it's time. I have both monthly and annual rates, and the annual saves you quite a bit.
