Solo is great. pulls like 7 rabbits from the hat: acting, writing, design, score, cinematography, direction and fun. the seven rabbits.

Some days I just can’t believe both James Brown and David Bowie are gone.

If you’re sitting around doing nothing, I recommend listening to every Radiohead album, in order they were released. You too can be bouncing around your office on a gloomy morning saying, anything is possible.

If you haven't seen "12 Years a Slave," the question you gotta ask yourself is, why not?

Can we all get back to "12 Years a Slave" for a sec? A horror film. Permanently affected how I think about my country. Rarer than radium.

12 Years a Slave has the structure of a horror film. With Chewitel in the Jamie lee Curtis role. Except when it ends it's still 1853.

"Inside Llewyn Davis" is a perfect film. Oscar Isaac! Huge congrats to T-Bone and Bruno. Every frame is a photograph you wish on your wall.

More people watched Li Na win the French Open than watched the Super Bowl. Wonder what the Aussie numbers will be?

If you're out there and you missed Frances Ha, the Noah Baumbach film, and you know you are and did, then check it out. It's great.

Matthew McConaughey gives one of the great generational performances in Dallas Buyer's Club. Best not just of this year but many years.

12 Years A Slave in a tweet- it only permanently changed the way I think about my country.

Hollywood today: if no one has super powers or can fly, it's a drama.

@Davegilbs I hope it's "dust bunnies."

Carol gets me off tweet bench. Todd Haynes. Rooney Mara. Ed Lachman. Judy Becker. what a film. I'm alive. I'm alive. fuck yeah. Rooooney!!!

and special salute to Phyllis Nagy. you want to see great screenwriting? see "Carol."

so I got to see "Youth" the other night. is Paolo Sorrentino the greatest writer-director working today? cast your vote. oh fuckit. YES.

the fact that David Bowie can die is more dispiriting than the usual bad news.

everything that rises... turns into advertising.

i realize there is lots going on in the world, but Car Seat Headrest made a great LP last year-Teens Of Style. and that matters, too.
