Out of the gate with a mockumentary, a road movie inspired by It Happened One Night, a tear jerking coming-of-age story, a fresh take on the swashbuckling adventure, a romantic comedy, a suspense-thriller, and a courtroom drama.

Michael Haneke’s THE WHITE RIBBON, matinee at the Los Feliz 3 in LA. You could feel the growing hostility as the movie went on. To the point where there were multiple people shouting obscenities at the screen.
Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?
Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.

It was hands-down one of the most memorable theater-going experiences I can remember, a collective 30-minute butt-clench/armrest-grab for the final climb. And we knew he lived! Wild.

I don't get out to the movies as much as I'd like but BAD GIRL (Tamil film) is the work of an exciting new voice. If you like films like Frances Ha, def seek it out.

All the Shah’s Men was my first thought.
Ok BlueSky: what are your favorite history books in terms of sheer page-turning, narrative propulsion? Thinking along the line of Killers of the Flower Moon, etc. Nonfiction chronicles that read like novels or movies.

Can you imagine that this is an ICE recruitment poster?
It’s like “why sit around on your sofa w/your wife nagging you every two minutes when you can sit in comfort in a van big enough for friends? You’ll get a mask, a gun, & your very own “illegal” so you can feel superior & secure in your ride.”
