In our commentary for 88 Films’ HELTER SKELTER, @theneonbanshee.bsky.social and I go long on Ninagawa, girly photo, the power of gyaru and the Shibuya scene, Erika Sawajiri and ‘betsu-ni’-gate, and much more. Still pinching myself that I got to be part of this release with a bestie ❤️🤍

ZOOTOPIA 2 provides plenty of food for thought for its young audience, making a more expansive statement on the dangers of intolerance than the first film. Read @positivelytonsils.bsky.social's review.

This is who she was.
Passionate in her beliefs. Fiercely loyal to her friends. Never afraid to let you know exactly where she stood. The best.
Fun Fact: I remember arguing with her over which of us hated Piggy the most. I was sure I did. She disagreed. It remains unresolved...

I have no opinion or working memory of ROGUE ONE but it’s been funny to see it rise and fall and rise so contentiously in the rankings over the years. It’s the only one of the SW films that does this to the degree it does
i would push rogue one down and bring solo and the last jedi up. i’d also place attack of the clones at the bottom.
haven’t seen ROS or Solo but this seems like a pretty ball-knowing list from Pritzker, particularly if he volunteered the name “Star Wars” rather than “A New Hope”

Got to speak with Udo Kier for Todd Stephens’ Swan Song a few years back. We had connection trouble and he said “You don’t want to talk to me, Rocco?” in his delicious German deadpan. It wasn’t a great interview but it’s one I think about and treasure the most. #RIP 🖤
