If it's true that they always come in threes, I have a few suggestions that could be real mood-changers!

This Turkish JAWS poster at the Academy Museum is blowing my mind. Jaws, but make it sexy-schlocky. #HakikiJaws 😁🦈

One thing you see in both the smug dope from the Plain Dealer and the Cruise/Pitt clip is profound resentment at the idea that creative work is a skill with human variables--experience, instinct, practice, imagination. There is real anger at the very idea that non-technological human talent matters.

These days, I’ve been thinking a lot about Lynne Ramsay’s masterful YOU WERE NEVER REALLY HERE, in which Joaquin Phoenix rescues a child from the sex traffickers that kidnapped her and beats up & kills several disgusting & despicable men in the process. A+ movie. A 2017 favorite.

Wim Wenders calling art and a film festival (Berlinale) that will surely be full of stories dealing with urgent human concerns “the opposite of politics” is a choice. A stupid one, at that.

She spent the whole morning performatively screaming at Congressmen, but this image of Bondi saying nothing and refusing to turn around will be the only real takeaway from her testimony today.

Not too surprisingly, when a woman becomes a critic, the terms in which she is customarily described indicate the condescension and hostility that men seem to be unaware of. (1972)

It is *SO FUCKED* that, in his final days, he had to sell memorabilia in order to pay his medical bills. This fucking country.

I have no bigger social media enemy lately than the “movies are so terrible nowadays” people. I hate them. They dress up their ignorance and incuriosity as some sort of truth-telling and get high on AI slop with equally stupid folk. And sadly, they’re growing in number.

Bart Layton’s CRIME 101 is a very enjoyable driving-around-in-LA-at-night crime movie, which is among my favorite subgenres. Obvious Michael Mann influences. But guess what, it works. And it scratched my Los Angeles movie itch. 👍🏼

Gorgeous (custom Givenchy). VERY happy that someone finally had a talk with Timothée Chalamet re: his wardrobe of late. Glad he went back to dressing like the handsome, modern-day movie star that he is & retired (hopefully forever) his taste-starved-son-of-a-tech-billionaire aesthetic.
