Yes!!!!!!! Everyone read @isaacfeldberg.bsky.social convo with Wes Anderson!!!!!!

Isaac Feldberg @isaacfeldberg.bsky.social · 2d

Pinch-me moment: I asked the one and only Wes Anderson about his first ten films, on the occasion of a new boxset from @criterion.bsky.social, for @letterboxd.social. A dream, as ever, to spend time with his intrepid and stylistically singular body of work; one of my very favorite filmmakers.

Magnificent Andersons: Wes Anderson on 25 years of filmmaking craft and collaboration—and his new Criterion set • Journal • A Letterboxd Magazine

As a major new Criterion box set of his work hits shelves, Wes Anderson tells Isaac Feldberg about a quarter-century of filmmaking: via Rushmore, Moonrise Kingdom, The Grand Budapest Hotel and more.

The more I thought about A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE, the less I gravitated toward it, to the point that I barely remember anything about it.

Here are my thoughts on Kathryn Bigelow's latest film.

'A House of Dynamite' Review

A TNT thriller that feels below Bigelow

Got a chance to see SPRINGSTEEN: DELIVER ME FROM NOWHERE and you bet I immediately went to read @812filmreviews.com and @djmecca.bsky.social reviews out of Telluride. I suggest you all do the same.

RIP to an absolute legend

The New York Times @nytimes.com · 9d

Breaking News: Jane Goodall, one of the world’s most revered conservationists, died at 91. Her discoveries in the 1960s about how chimpanzees behaved in the wild broke new ground and represented what was called “one of the Western world’s great scientific achievements.” nyti.ms/42kpGxt
