This is interesting, because when they just announced they were releasing Mother (Albert Brooks, 1996), I figured they had been acquired by the Victorville Film Archive. KIDDING, I'm joking, I like that movie, it's definitely one of Brooks' top five movies

A dream come true… I visited the famous Criterion Closet

Huge news from Cannes. Citing extraordinary circumstances and the vital importance of its message, the jury has voted to once again award the Palme d'Or to Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11.

Released 73 years ago today: the Looney Tunes classic RABBIT FIRE (1951), which contains maybe the most iconic bit in cartoon history. Chuck Jones at his best.

Anyone else tired of these kinds of self-pitying posts from Elmo since the allegations?

It’s an arc as old as time: from reply-guy to quote-dunker

Three-hour Kevin Costner historical epic about manifest destiny, the first in a four-part series… the mere thought of this makes me weep with exhaustion and boredom. Please don’t yell at me, I’m just speaking my truth, I hope you’re all excited, I’m just screaming into the void.

I am catching up on news

Congratulations to “The Journal of Stoogeological Studies” interview subject Guy Maddin on the premiere of his new film at Cannes!

Cold-blooded

Was alone with my thoughts for a few minutes. Awful!

Heavyweight jury at the 1983 Venice Film Festival

Surprising moment when I had lunch with Mort Rifkin yesterday. I mentioned Agnes Varda and he gave me a blank stare. He'd never heard of her.

We used to hear a lot about 'tunnels' in Gaza. Funny how they don't talk about that much anymore.

This is huge news for all lovers of cinema, obviously, but can I also just selfishly note how honored I am that Brianna mentioned my name in the program notes
