Farewell, Diane Keaton. Truly one of a kind. I loved watching her on screen. Got to see her on Broadway in Play It Again, Sam when she was young.

If we show up, how do we know if the government will not send troops to attack us on October 18?

Why is David Brooks still employed?

After watching the three films at #NYFF63 I think Rose Byrne in If I Had Legs I’d Kick You and Jodie Foster in A Private Life surpass Julia Roberts’ work in After the Hunt.

I hope Rose Byrne gets tons of awards nominations for this movie—she phenomenal. Looking glamorous at NYFF Thursday night for the If I Had Legs I’d Kick You screening which appeared to like with lots of laughter despite some harrowing moments.

Jim Jarmusch’s new film Father Mother Sister Brother screened tonight at Lincoln Center as the NYFF63 Centerpiece; it’s a gem and one of the director’s best. Jarmusch, Tom Waits, Adam Driver, Vicki Krieps, Indya Moore & Luka Sabbat did a q&a and the actors said they loved working with the director.

Will Bari Weiss be the next Rupert Murdoch? The possibility is horrifying.

I wish I could have been there! But a rare screening of the silent film Beau Geste was playing at Film Forum.

David Low @ylowdavey.bsky.social · 15d

I was there, too. Ben Whishaw is a treasure.

Well you can thank Chris Christie, a Republican, for getting the ball rolling to end public television in NJ.

@npr.org Sorry, no. There is no scientific link between Tylenol and autism.

NPR @npr.org · 19d

The science on Tylenol and autism isn't clear, despite President Trump's claims. Here's what parents need to know to make their own decisions about acetaminophen.

When it comes to Tylenol, what are parents to do?

Russell Tovey with director Carmen Emmi at IFC Center in Greenwich Village last night after a screening of the excellent Plainclothes. I got to talk to Tovey whose work I’ve admired since seeing him on Broadway 20 years (!) ago.

I saw Spinal Tap 2 today and I thought it was subtly funny and I laughed out loud several times. It was a perfect escape on a day I needed it. Full of odd jokes like the Museum of Glue. Fun seeing Paul McCartney and Elton John, too! (corrected for previous typo.)

Both these films are showing at NYFF but I could only fit Nouvelle Vague in my schedule. It may be imperfect but I love the French New Wave so I can’t wait to see it.

I wish I could agree here. I found his review offensive.

Do better, New York Times. If Trump is declaring war on America’s cities, something is seriously wrong.
