Chris Stults @cstults.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Red Dawn was the first PG-13 movie and it was, amazingly, released about 2 weeks after I turned 13. Seeing that was when I realized I'd be the kid in the opening who gets a bullet in his head, not one of the protagonists. I've lived with that self-awareness ever since. 010
Chris Stults @cstults.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Unless it's in Spotlight, which is an unlikely spot for a Palme winner. 000
Chris Stults @cstults.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Even more odd is that it's opening on October 9 so it would be perfectly set up for early NYFF screenings. 200
Chris Stults @cstults.bsky.social · 01/08/2026I haven't been to TIFF in well more than a decade but I still long for the Cromwell Suites. But then that just makes me think of Jim Ridley and then I get all sad. 100

I discuss why I loved the film, my own sensitive nature, having hope for humanity, the troubling misreadings of the film, and why cynicism is not wisdom. angelicabastien.substack.com/p/disclosure...angelicabastien.substack.comOpen Your Fucking Heart: Why I Loved Disclosure Day, A Review and Rant in 17 NotesSpielberg's Disclosure Day is a film of complex emotionality worth wrestling with. It led me to think about my own stubborn hopefulness and the problem with mistaking cynicism for wisdom. 41619125

Chris Stults @cstults.bsky.social · 30/04/2026It's one of my great reliefs in life know that my partner's "hall pass" is Doug Martsch. It makes me think that maybe I have a chance with her! 100
Chris Stults @cstults.bsky.social · 24/04/2026It's been exhibited 3 or 4 times in OH so I've never really looked into it. It'd be a matter of getting a loan from one of the instutitions that own it (I know the Gund Gallery at Kenyon is one nearby). Dunno know how exacting the tech rider is but equipment and installation is probably the big cost 020

Chris Stults @cstults.bsky.social · 08/07/2025Would love to rewatch this now. I'm sure it plays differently in 2025 than it did when I saw it at NYFF in 2024. Super emotional to watch it with many of the film's participants sitting seats away from me. 000

Chris Stults @cstults.bsky.social · 15/04/2025It's also one of the most famous metaphorical images from the AIDS crisis by the great radical artist David Wojnarowicz.

As the “art” proliferates, so should our outrage and capacity to shame/ostracize those who spread it. 0132

Chris Stults @cstults.bsky.social · 09/01/2025Leigh's persona taking questions on stage is quite different than his off-stage demeanor. I had one of the loveliest dinners of my life with him (asking lots of questions about being on the Cannes jury in '97). I imagine a Maron interview is closer to being onstage than a casual dinner though. 110
Chris Stults @cstults.bsky.social · 30/12/2024It's a beautiful thing! Although they need to release Hard Truths, Nickel Boys, and Universal Language here already! Those (plus The Brutalist) were the ones I was most sorry to miss at NYFF and I'm paying for it every day! 010
