i believe there are about a hundred and fifty million people like me who would pay $17 to watch benicio del toro as sergio st. carlos plan and execute a tight sunday costco run before he has to man the barbecue after his niece's afternoon soccer game (run time: 2 hours 20 minutes)

Timmy's a millennial who is a Gen Z heartthrob. Leo was a Gen Xer who was a millennial heartthrob.

I just wrote the phrase "Gen Z heartthrob" about him which feels indisputably correct but I don't know if his age technically qualifies. But maybe it's kind of like how Barack Obama is technically a Boomer but feels spiritually Gen X?

I don't think I've ever seen this question debated before and I think it's time to figure it out once and for all. Is Timothee Chalamet — born December 27, 1995 — a millennial? Please show your work.

I did most of my best work at Vanity Fair while working remotely, and it bums me out that Conde Nast is willingly letting go of talented people in the name of some vaguely defined corporate mandate.

Extremely curious about the conversations surely happening within The Academy right now about how to make their own version of this statement

National Society of Film Critics @nsfc.bsky.social · 20d

We strongly condemn the actions taken by Nexstar and Disney-ABC to pull JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE! off the air.

FILM CRITICS’ GROUPS DENOUNCE NEXSTAR AND DISNEY-ABC DECISIONS TO SUSPEND “JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE!”

We, the members of the New York Film Critics Circle, the Los Angeles Film Critics Association and the National Society of Film Critics, strongly condemn the actions taken by Nexstar and Disney-ABC to pull “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” off the air. For decades, our organizations have represented a profession that is enabled by the First Amendment. Kimmel’s long-running talk show promotes free speech, including when it gives film artists the chance to discuss their work. There is only one word to describe the decision by powerful media corporations to silence an individual’s perspective due to fear of repercussions by the government: censorship. This is the antithesis of the values embodied by our work. We demand a reversal of this decision and encourage our colleagues across the industry to do the same.

my favorite robert redford story is that mike nichols considered him for dustin hoffman's part in THE GRADUATE. during their conversation nichols asked redford something like, "have you ever struck out with a girl?" and redford's response was basically, "i don't understand the question"
