So, I found this PSA (?) about VHS tapes on my old copy of The Blair Witch Project. It's the best thing you will see today. (Or at least the cheesiest.)

Speaking of summer-movie anniversaries, the one that matters is Charlie Chaplin's The Gold Rush, which turns 100 tomorrow (at least, its release does); the self-critical artist ultimately found fault with it and took action, but its original greatness endures nonetheless:...

Caught SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS at the New Beverly Cinema. Always a treat to see animation on film. Hadn’t seen this charming classic in a long time. Conor Holt and I rarely miss their animation programs.

Night two of The Natural World of Studio Ghibli screening series at The Ford. Sold out show of HOWL’S MOVING CASTLE. A pleasure to introduce the screening and getting to rewatch this stunning film.

Hands up, who else performed Tom Lehrer at a talent show? Such incredible songs, what a talented artist. Rest in Peace, Tom.

Whenever there’s a long line in LA is either for an obnoxious pop-up event, a 100-year-old restaurant about to close because of evil landlords, or for a new Labubu that just dropped.

Closed out the screening series the Natural World of Studio Ghibli with Miyazaki’s gorgeous THE WIND RISES. A pleasure to introduce these masterpieces over the weekend at The Ford, a wonderful venue to watch a film.

The physical media gods smiled upon me today. I found a copy of Abbas Kiarostami’s TEN for less than $10 (which is a miracle). I’ve been on the hunt for this one since it’s one of my favorites of his. And it has some cool special features.

Ah! I interviewed Jenna Ortega, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and the great Luis Guzmán for LA Times. The first part of WEDNESDAY Season 2 is out next week. We talked about their beloved characters and their thoughts on navigating this uncertain industry. Link in first reply.

every time a prominent film person reveals themselves to be pro-ai it genuinely feels like finding out someone got body-snatched, like they got infected with the alien ai mind-virus and there’s nothing we can do

“We must accept that.” The fact that AI exists doesn’t mean we are forced to use it to desecrate films under the guise of more engaged audiences. The argument is always “it’s over,” “it’s here,” “there’s nothing we can do.” You know what we can do? Not use it for this.

Arguably May 29, 1865, when President Johnson weaksauced Reconstruction and offered amnesty and pardon to most former Confederate officials and soldiers.

it's not too late for the movies to reject AI. i wrote about The Wizard of Oz at the Sphere, Italian Brainrot, and why surrendering to the "inevitability" of AI confuses the fact that tech needs art more than art needs tech. indiewire.com/criticism/movi…

Animation legend Henry Selick on purposefully showing the details that remind people stop motion is brought to life by artists’ hands.

I remember when the implicit promise of every studio having its own streamer was they’d have their deep catalogue of programming in one place.

Legendary director John Woo tonight at the Egyptian after a screening of HARD BOILED. He talked about his love for musicals, jazz, and the pleasures of real explosions. A treat to see him in person and getting a standing ovation. Beyond Fest American Cinematheque Shout! Studios
