no, the 60s are never coming back. but every year there are lots of real movies that address real political issues and don't suck, tbh... from the US and other countries....... but you gotta look beyond NEON/A24/whatever's left of the st*dios.....................................

instead of the accelerator pedal getting stuck and putting drivers at risk of a crash, im gonna go ahead and assume this is happening because me and my drunk friends clowned on a guy sitting at a red light in one of these a couple weeks ago in midtown........................

yeah, BBC Talking Movies interviewed me about Spectacle, alongside our dear colleagues at Light Industry, Mono No Aware and DCTV. Unsure why I look like I'm on the verge of tears. am i the John Boehner of NYC rep cinema? anyway you can watch the link here bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0h…

'The film and TV industry is now controlled by only four major companies, and it is shot through with incentives to devalue the actual production of film and television. What is to be done?'

RIP Eleanor Coppola. Yes, HEARTS OF DARKNESS is essential but i wish more ppl saw PARIS CAN WAIT. Excellent movie and nakedly autobiographical RE: Francis Ford as well as Gian-Carlo Coppola. I interviewed her about it... slantmagazine.com/film/interview…

Don't miss Peque Gallaga's restored ORO, PLATA, MATA (1983) at Spectacle this + next month. The movie opens like a Filipino GONE WITH THE WIND, then turns THE LEOPARD, then TAXI DRIVER; in the end it's its own harrowing, one-of-a-kind historical epic. spectacletheater.com/oro-plata-mata

its just funny to me when ppl say things like 'cinema is dead' or 'moviegoing is dead' or 'there are no political movies anymore'. studios + major chain movie theaters are dying and nobody wants to pay actual money for challenging movies anymore. but *chinema* is v much alive lol
