There are so many people, so many, that love film and want to dedicate their whole lives to making films, in front of the camera, behind it, in editing suites and casting rooms and makeup trailers. And that these locusts can come in and just devour the industry, take it from us all, is devastating.

#Behemoth: I struggled with the nonlinear structure at first; it bobs and weaves through about 15 years of time. But eventually I settled into it, carried along the rhythms of its protagonist's life. #nyff #nyff64

‘Behemoth!’ is music to my ears: NYFF64 review

Boy was I swept up by the propulsive energy, excitement, and eclecticism of its music.

From a quality standpoint, this has been the best NYFF I've been to in years. I've loved so much out of this festival already with one press screening left to go, Ava DuVernay's "14th"

Yglesias somehow divorces the desire to make money from a capitalist system that requires money to live and is making it harder and harder to do so. "Yes, I want to make money because I'm rejecting religion, not because rent is $4000/month"

Back on line at the NY Film Festival, the last screening until closing night. Looking forward to rediscovering what sleep is for the next week.

With this monopolized media empire comes not just size but unprecedented power. The power to throw workers under the bus. The power to price-gouge because consumers have few alternatives. The power to decide which stories get told, but more importantly, which stories DON'T get told.

This is what happens when generations are taught that arts/humanities degrees are for chumps. The very idea of creative human expression and communication are devalued.

Whether it’s Benjamin Netanyahu empowering Hamas, presiding over a massive intelligence failure that let them kill 1,200 Israelis on October 7th, and then killing 74,000 Palestinians in response or Zohran Mamdani pointing out that he did this, both men have fueled their bitter feud.

On the *same day* the Cornell Seven drugged and raped Jane Doe, Cornell banned four students (including the President of Cornell JVP) from campus for three years for nonviolent, pro-Palestine protests. The same Cornell officials let the rapists off with apology essays.

I wrote this horror novella about avenging witches killing rapists around the time of the Kavanaugh hearings. In light of the Cornell 7 lawsuit coming to light, I thought I'd reshare in case anyone wants to read about sexual predators dying in creatively gruesome ways.

My greatest hope for the new Taylor Swift song is that it inadvertently boosts Aimee Mann's "Patient Zero."

MY "Rose" review at #NYFF -- Director and co-writer Markus Schleinzer constructs a fable with gorgeous black-and-white cinematography by Gerald Kerkletz that gives the film the quality of history, or even myth.

There's always people making great stuff. I just meant it's been a weird couple of years where a lot of it just isn't popping on the charts relative to these "Okay I guess" number one hits

I think that the song is okay but is evidence of the doldrums pop music is in right now. There's just not a lot on the charts to get excited about.

I kinda liked it, wasn't a favorite of mine, but really admired the performances and direction.

Since Elon Musk seems to hate this documentary about him from one of my favorite non-fiction filmmakers, Alex Gibney, figured it was my duty to spread a link to the trailer so you can see it for yourself. ENJOY: loom.ly/oA2_-p8

Jordan Firstman’s debut directorial effort isn't about reinventing the wheel, but I'll be damned if it's not one impeccably crafted wheel. It's raucous and queer with an emotional core that caught me by surprise.

End billionaires. There is absolutely no reason a human being needs a billion dollars. The idea that one human (and they're entirely without fail completely unethical people with no morals or respect for fellow humans) needs multiple billions is beyond rational explanation. Just no, never, ever.

"Diary of a Chambermaid" director Radu Jude composes the film as a series of diaristic vignettes. Some days a lot happens, other days not so much. But sprinkled throughout are moments where social, political, and economic class are relevant: danielmontgomery3.substack.com/p/tender-lov...

This will be a catastrophe for both filmed entertainment and news, and it's a great shame that the California AG caved. Trump and his people will celebrate this news today. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/21/b...

By the time this merger ruins HBO, destroys WB, gets 5,000 people fired, moves production overseas, and guts the quality of the movies the new studio makes, most people will have forgotten how fast the AGs caved and how little they got in this deal. Writers will not.
