Don't think it will have the same impact that it did in theaters, but still would recommend seeing Dev Patel's MONKEY MAN if you haven't already now that it's on VOD. It's an abundantly flawed film, but that finale comes in to save it by kicking everything up to a whole new level

With the release of I SAW THE TV GLOW, THE PEOPLE'S JOKER and T-BLOCKERS, we are living through what increasingly feels like a significant moment in the history of film: the emergence of a definitive trans authored cinema.

There's a worrisome trend in modern film criticism that goes 'Look, I know this film is kind of boring and doesn't work, and the end falls flat, but the director and cast are talented, and it's pretty, so it's actually a masterwork.' It's OK to say that a film fails.

Happy #bookfest weekend, Los Angeles! Don’t forget to support L.A. Times Guild 🦅 journalists! actionnetwork.org/petitions/supp…

I know we are all likely going to forget Zack Snyder's THE SCARGIVER (I basically have already) but I will always remember one thing: midway through, there is a ridiculous conversation scene where everyone gets their turn in a game of exposition roulette. Truly baffling stuff.

This is a great interview with Ken Loach by MZS: vulture.com/article/ken-lo…

STRESS POSITIONS: Theda Hammel's feature debut is like having a conversation with people whose egos suck up all the oxygen in the room, leaving you gasping for air just so you can get out one more laugh (complimentary). John Early unmatched.

In solidarity with Columbia University students protesting against the ongoing genocide in Gaza, and in response to the shameful actions of Columbia leadership, I’ve asked A24 to pull an I SAW THE TV GLOW screening that was previously scheduled for Columbia students next Friday.

Post News, a start up that tried to take the place of Twitter but with a far friendlier environment for news and journalism — including an attempt to make micropayments work — announced that it will be shutting down soon.

For those who missed it before when it was making its theatrical run, LATE NIGHT WITH THE DEVIL is now available to stream on Shudder. Not only does David Dastmalchian command the stage in an overdue leading role, but the rest of the horror film itself is none too shabby either.

Spoke with the fantastically talented Vera Drew about #ThePeoplesJoker for the SGN: Seattle Gay News. Check out what she had to say. This was a surprisingly personal conversation. Wish I could have spent the entire day with her.
