According to this story, projectionists at an NYC Alamo Drafthouse (unclear which) filed a petition to unionize Weds On Fri, Alamo sent an email notifying of its intention to eliminate the projectionist role and replace with with "technical engineer" audacy.com/1010wins/news/…

Just attended a film festival dedicated to print projection and before each screening, the person doing the intro would thank the projectionists and we would clap for them, some audience members even turning towards their booth - it was so beautiful & felt right!

It’s the season of tiny little dogs barking at people on things with wheels

Amen. Give Sarah Polley all the things. 👸🏻

Ron Perlman's story about his father is, for me, one of the most touching stories I've ever heard. A jazz musician who took full time work in order to support his family, he took Ron aside after watching him in a school play in order to tell him something...

How bout we do away with performative “holidays” that are focused around $$ and attention and just appreciate and ❤️ each other all the time?

Oh you know just up late binge watching “Ultimatum: Queer Love” with my mom

Turner Classic Movies has been a fixture in my life for as long as I can remember. It’s a holy corner of film history — and a living, breathing library for an entire art form. Please don’t fuck with ⁦TCM⁩. indiewire.com/features/comme…

As a TCM viewer first, I've admired Christian Hammann's work for years. She is one of the best storytellers I've had the privilege of working with. Many moons ago, she produced this Jean Harlow piece that I remember recording and watching over and over again.

👏👏👏👏👏

For as long as I live, I'll never understand this stage of capitalism where vultures like Zaslav get SO rich that they just start breaking shit for no reason - even when it's counterproductive! This article notes that TCM is profitable, there's no reason to slash it whatsoever.

We all won the lottery when David Lynch was given money to direct 18 new hours of Twin Peaks, with seemingly zero interference. I still can’t quite believe The Return - in all its mad, frog-moth-monster-y glory - exists.

I love seeing movies that emotionally destroy me and that is why I saw Past Lives tonight

Is the moon reddish today or have I turned into some mythical creature with special vision or something

About to do the first baby step of a thing I’ve been working very hard for many years on. Am excited. Am nervous. Am ready. Many more steps to go, learning so much on this journey.
