RIP Diane Ladd

If you’ve never seen Wild At Heart by #DavidLynch - now’s the time to see Ladd’s stellar performance.

You can rent it @ Apple, YouTube or Fandango.

Of course, her real life daughter Laura Dern is excellent too + it’s a crazy script - I really love this wild film - see it!

Psyched to see #SinnersMovie in 70mm #IMAX + hear a filmmaker Q&A - the perfect Halloween weekend treat!

Looking for a great Halloween new watch or rewatch?

There are 13 John Carpenter films on @criterionchannl.bsky.social !

Last night I rewatched Prince of Darkness & it looked gorgeous!

There’s plenty of other classic horror films too - so don’t sleep on it~

Was floored @ #AFIFEST by #SongSungBlue !

Craig Brewer made a fantastically entertaining film & his script for this ‘life is stranger than fiction’ tale was tight & well crafted.

On its surface, it’s a happy-go-lucky Neil Diamond Impersonator musical - but there’s more! *Go In Cold* - it rocks!

Saw #TrainDreams @ #AFIFESTIVAL & really loved it!

It’s a gorgeous & haunting film.

Top rate craft + performances here.

At the Q&A co-writer/director Clint Bentley joins actors Joel Edgerton, William H. Macy, Kerry Condon & producer Teddy Schwarzman- coming to Netflix soon don’t miss this it!

Impressed by #christymovie @ #AFIFEST!

Sydney Sweeney & Ben Foster knocked it out of the park with stellar performances in this dark but hopeful true life tale.

Co-writer/director David Michôd co-wrote for 1st time with his wife Mirrah Foulkes & nailed it!

Here’s the Q&A + real hero - Christy!

So, someone @chinesetheatres.bsky.social (not an employee) as a prank kinda mixed up the seat numbers… So I’m seat 111 #AFIFEST & I can’t wait to meet 110…

Totes the first image I think of from TV’s “Alfred Hitchcock Presents” made so recently back in 1956…

Wildly #GusVanSant says @ #AFIFEST Austin Kolodney’s Dead Man’s Wire script had YouTube links to 911 calls + other vids - which he liked.

He loves a challenge, was asked in Sept to direct a film shot in Jan & leapt @ the challenge to shoot a low budget film on a 20 day schedule!

Now @ #AFIFEST #GusVanSant takes the stage for a Q&A after his new film Dead Man’s Wire.

It’s a fantastic return to form for the director.

It’s a stylish, well paced real life crime film about a man taking revenge on the mortgage company who screwed him over.

Def go see it!

Two Prosecutors @ #AFIFEST was effectively disturbing.

This Kafkaesque tale of a man lost in an evil bureaucracy is from a story by a dissident imprisoned for 20 years.

Depicting Stalin’s Purge of 1937, this is def a fascist period to be aware of as we slide closer toward political imprisonment.

Heck of a night @ #AFIFEST where Bruce Springsteen just performed two songs after his screening of Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere!

I’ll figure out how to pay video later - but here’s some pics for now!

Blown away by The Stranger @ #AFIFEST!

Writer-director François Ozon delivers a near perfect adaptation of Albert Camus’ classic on the page & onscreen with DP Manu Dacosse.

The use of silence / the decision of when to use voice over -> all pitch perfect+ yes @thecure.com song plays in the credits

Gonna be an excellent night @hollywoodbowl.bsky.social seeing The B-52s & Devo!

Last time my wife & I saw this double bill was @ the Greek & she was pregnant with our son - who’s now in his first year @ college!
October 20, 2025 at 2:31 AM
Excited to see my heroes Penn & Teller tonight!

Loved Good Boy @ Beyond Fest!

It’s that vibe of what your pet sees in the darkness @ night & it’s def creepy - all from the dog- Indy’s perspective!

Filmed on 400 days over 3 years since Indy can only film a few hours a day - it’s got a unique look with a Twilight Zone-styled tale - see it!
September 25, 2025 at 6:49 AM
A fun Beyond Fest tradition @amcinematheque.bsky.social is to hand out trading cards for filmmakers & actors of the films they show…

I just landed a card for Indy - the canine star of the upcoming @shudder.com horror flick Good Boy - which we’re all about to see tonight - quite excited!

Soooo co-writer/director Johanne’s Roberts convinced me against adopting a pet chimp cuz a random case of rabies really ruins everything…

Roberts & star Johnny Sequoyah did a Beyond Fest screening @amcinematheque.bsky.social & had the horror fans screaming @ the kooky hi-jinx & “Cujo” of it all!

I’m fine with another Beverly Hills Cop sequel, but this is just too on the nose…

Lots of heavenly false promises…
