I show movies at the Academy Museum and teach film at CalArts 🎞️ 4th generation SoCal gal with a yen for thrifting. If you need me, you’ll find me in the cinema 👀 (opinions mine)
Started the day thinking about THE BITTER TEARS OF PETRA VON KANT for whatever reason

The Academy Museum is reopening today with screenings resuming as scheduled.
I’ll be there to introduce, and watch, our 2p COOL HAND LUKE screening. I really need a movie right now.

disclosure: I was SO nervous last night. I raaarely get nervous before Q&As but this one was special + so many friends & my mom were there! Then some @$$ clown shouted something as I was reading Cronenberg’s bio & it totally threw me. Ultimately had a dreamy time & will remember the night forever 🥰

Pinching myself. I am so damn lucky. Can’t wait to converse with Cronenberg tomorrow night after eXistenZ. Standby line will be in full effect — and everyone got in for Videodrome tonight! See you there.

Just learned through an IG friend that works by Greer Lankton are currently on display at @moma.bsky.social in an exhibit titled Vital Signs: Artists and the Body, on view through Feb 22. Her dolls strike deep, complicated feelings in me both familiar and unknowable. NYers should seek out this show!

My most successful resolution was in 2017 when I committed to watching at least 1 film per day (average). Have stuck with it for 8 years & don’t plan to stop.
Don’t expect anyone else to relate or care, but I’ve made a few goals for myself in 2025. Trying to keep them light and achievable!

While in OC we also drove by Benjies, the Santa Ana, CA diner that enamored me to NY-style deli. In 1990, I was the six-year-old ordering corned beef on rye with a cup of chicken soup with rice and washing it all down with a Dr. Brown’s Cel-Ray soda in a corner booth by the long, painted windows.

Been spending the last week with my mom, who is three weeks post immunotherapy treatment for lymphoma. Seems fitting to spend NYE at The Crab Cooker, an Orange County institution our family has frequented for major occasions & celebrations since the 1960s.
Here’s to a healthy & happy 2025 to all.

just saw SHAMPOO for the first time this year and it struck me as both a damning portrait of masculinity and a feat of hairstyling magic that Beatty’s mane doubles as a motorcycle helmet. Even at top speed, not a strand is out of place.

Hauled out the yearbooks at the family Xmas eve dinner tonight. Here’s a winner from a rehearsal for the school play c. 2000. The details—Abercrombie, Adidas Superstars, thin-as-hell eyebrows, box-dyed streaks, waterline eyeliner—make me so proud.

For those who loved Richard McGuire‘s graphic novel but couldn’t stand the look or the schmaltz of the recent film adaptation: Daniel Mason’s NORTH WOODS, about the inhabitants of a yellow cabin in Northern Massachusetts across five centuries, is the perfect antidote.
