On January 3rd, 2025, as President of the American Catholic Historical Association, I interviewed Martin Scorsese and bestowed upon him the ACHA Distinguished Service Award, at St. Patrick’s Old Cathedral, his boyhood parish. A wonderful conversation with the most significant filmmaker of our time.

ok hi again. If you truly like movies, the existence of a long list of films that are reputed to be excellent with which you're unfamiliar should make you nothing but happy and curious. If it doesn't, maybe you don't like movies. And if you don't like movies, why are you griping about the Oscars? x

Great evening interviewing Martin Scorsese tonight at a special @achahistory.bsky.social event, held at St. Patrick's Old Cathedral. Listening to him share his reflections on what this place meant to him was remarkable.

“Don’t ask a dying man to lie his soul into hell!” Sam Levene to Ava Gardner in Robert Siodmak’s remarkable The Killers. Great line. Great film, part of the Siodmak retrospective at Film at Lincoln Center.
