Kyle Stevens @cinementalist.bsky.social · 04/09/20261950s gender politics, nutshelled in Executive Suite. 071
Kyle Stevens @cinementalist.bsky.social · 01/09/2026On a Jean Arthur kick and just started The Devil and Miss Jones. More movies should start with sarcastic disclaimers to rich men. 1152
Kyle Stevens @cinementalist.bsky.social · 27/07/2026Aw, just read that Bill Oddie of (to me) The Goodies fame died. If you don't know this weird, weird, wacky '70s Titlshow it's a delight! 140
Kyle Stevens @cinementalist.bsky.social · 17/07/2026A friend of mine (some of you know Genie!) is vacationing with family on the NC coast and just sent me an amazing portrait of the US. 3171
Kyle Stevens @cinementalist.bsky.social · 15/07/2026Ah, I think I know Hegseth's mistake. As so many do, he's confusing high tea with afternoon tea. So important to know the difference: 160
Kyle Stevens @cinementalist.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Yay! And we’re talking Copper Core! As much as I loved last night’s salmon niçoise, I’m searing for the foreseeable future! 130
Kyle Stevens @cinementalist.bsky.social · 12/06/2026I know how you feel! Our roses are finally appearing, along with the clematis on our little back patio! 130
Kyle Stevens @cinementalist.bsky.social · 06/06/2026Me, and shots of Boston’s quite moving Pride march. So many schools! Senior groups! Reproductive rights groups! The governor, Sen Markey shaking everyone’s hands…Lovely! 3570
Kyle Stevens @cinementalist.bsky.social · 24/05/2026I haven’t seen this level of aspirational bad assery since Hepburn in the first 20 minutes of Woman of the Year. 3358
Kyle Stevens @cinementalist.bsky.social · 23/05/2026Happy Caturday! We rescued these little gents 9 days ago. Congee and Curry. They romp and run and sleep with us and are generally perfect. 5331
Kyle Stevens @cinementalist.bsky.social · 21/05/2026Um. Y’all? Is the hottest shop in town T*cker Carls*n’s merch page?? 2242
Kyle Stevens @cinementalist.bsky.social · 27/04/2026This is what you want to see when you watch a movie. movie-gifs.tumblr.com/post/7432283... 1150
Kyle Stevens @cinementalist.bsky.social · 17/04/2026Is now a good time to announce I won a Fulbright Scholar grant? I’ll be in Oslo in the fall, baby! 11620
Kyle Stevens @cinementalist.bsky.social · 07/04/2026I’m in New Haven early before a talk at Yale and wandering a cemetery. So fucking brutal reading things like this today. 0314
Kyle Stevens @cinementalist.bsky.social · 06/03/2026Watching Beau Brummel (1924), and it’s wild how Mary Astor and John Barrymore invented profiles. 0100
Kyle Stevens @cinementalist.bsky.social · 05/03/2026No doubt he has an actual shield in mind, one with his face on it. Probably straight out of Clash of the Titans (a movie I love, but he's so stuck in the 80s!). 060
Kyle Stevens @cinementalist.bsky.social · 25/02/2026Downton parody Fackham Hall is giving 70s era humor (broad, relentless), and I am DELIGHTED. 1311
Kyle Stevens @cinementalist.bsky.social · 25/02/2026Live shot of the NYTimes office when they hear they get to report on a Harvard professor again. 090
Kyle Stevens @cinementalist.bsky.social · 30/01/2026Thank you to her. She gave us so much! I was so young when I found d her. This scene changed me. 1190
Kyle Stevens @cinementalist.bsky.social · 18/01/2026Oh, it's Cary Grant's birthday? Let me once again beat the drum for Holiday, one of the five movies that raised me—but don't let that stop you! It's a delightful, human portrait of youthful middle class anxieties about facing a life of labor ahead. 4567
Kyle Stevens @cinementalist.bsky.social · 11/01/2026Inspired by @annakornbluh.bsky.social’s yummy dinners, here’s a random series of some of my my favorite things I made in 2025. (I cook every day I can! Insta saw them first.) 2222
Kyle Stevens @cinementalist.bsky.social · 01/12/2025Rewatching The Killers and, um, let this be your reminder to, too. 2170
Kyle Stevens @cinementalist.bsky.social · 11/10/2025And if you don’t think what she did in Something’s Gotta Give changed the game, go back and listen to her deliver “It’s just soap.” 1130
Kyle Stevens @cinementalist.bsky.social · 27/08/2025Horses charging through the legs wins it for me. 0100
Kyle Stevens @cinementalist.bsky.social · 22/07/2025Like I'm not gonna post this preview of the next season of Interview with the Vampire. I mean. (It's also the best series currently on TV.) 0255
Kyle Stevens @cinementalist.bsky.social · 27/05/2025Of course A24 puts the final nail in metaphor’s coffin. 3140
Kyle Stevens @cinementalist.bsky.social · 02/04/2025I was searching for a post (which is obvious) and OMG. 2111
Kyle Stevens @cinementalist.bsky.social · 01/04/2025SCMS Conferencers! Here’s a lil preview of my title slide! I’m on a roundtable discussion all about spectatorship and labor (and refusing that labor!) Thursday morning. It’s first session, but I hope to see you there! 2250
Kyle Stevens @cinementalist.bsky.social · 05/03/2025Logged on to FB for the first time in a while and saw this response to a post from a former grad school professor. We are so, as they say, cooked. 51213
Kyle Stevens @cinementalist.bsky.social · 27/02/2025Not proud of my sticker skills, but why does this seem so right? 1190
Kyle Stevens @cinementalist.bsky.social · 26/02/2025A propos of nothing (but striving to have a non-political skeet): Amy Irving would’ve been amazing in a Lauren Bacall biopic. It’s all there: the look; the Jewishness; the “cast cause you’re prettier than talented but still kinda great.” 1150
Kyle Stevens @cinementalist.bsky.social · 07/02/2025Oh, sure. I have the mental and emotional capacity for this now. Oh, absolutely. Why wouldn't I? 1170
Kyle Stevens @cinementalist.bsky.social · 06/02/2025A Harris fundraising email for the DNC today?? 0523
Kyle Stevens @cinementalist.bsky.social · 24/01/2025Not even gonna pretend to be nonchalant about winning the @scmstudies.bsky.social award for Best Essay in an Edited Collection. Woo hoo! 171224
Kyle Stevens @cinementalist.bsky.social · 22/01/2025Struggling to “find the joy” today, then I saw this. 791807227
