TOO MANY COOKS hive, this one's for us. In Casper Kelly's brilliant horror-comedy BUDDY, an annoying, tyrannical orange monster (!🤔!) terrorizes the kids of a 90s children program. It's trippy, it has no intention to be polite, I can't believe it exists. 👍🏼

Buddy review: Casper Kelly's kid's-show horror film has the correct number of cooks
It’s a trippy, ballsy, and genuinely entertaining package that shouldn’t work at all. But it does.

I *CANNOT* sufficiently express how excited I am to intro my favorite erotic thriller next week: Adrian Lyne's UNFAITHFUL, which is also one of my all-time favorite movies now, easily. Come watch it with me next Friday, 6/26. Starring Diane Lane & Richard Gere, on 35mm. What more can you ask for? 💔

#APEX: when the terrific Charlize Theron isn’t Free Solo’ing the Australian wilderness, she’s conquering her own River Wild. Her stamina finds a worthy challenger in (also great) Taron Egerton’s maniacal villain. Good old-school adventure flick. My Review: www.rogerebert.com/reviews/apex...

Apex review: Charlize Theron rocks in Netflix survival thriller
Prioritizing white-knuckle thrills over excessive emotion and explaining is one of the most refreshing qualities of this gorgeously shot picture about survival and fortitude.

BLUESKY: help me with this for my own sanity. Last night at Death of a Salesman, we had the misfortune of sitting next to a woman who didn’t get off her phone & texted during much of the 1st half. Eventually, my polite husband politely asked her to get off the phone. She loudly said…1/7

Team “No Project Hail Mary sequel.” Why do we have to suck the life out of everything? The story ended with the right amount of emotional & narrative closure, & enough looseness to linger in our minds. Swear, these suckers would even make E.T. Back From Home if they could. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Love Mamdani beyond words. But it’s slightly frustrating to see him claim that the city is ready for snow. Maybe some areas are. But here in the perennially abandoned Harlem, we’re still swimming in knee-deep trash & no one cares. Let’s elect great people like him. And then demand better from them.

The New York Post is owned by Lachlan Murdoch, solely because his daddy bought it and passed it on to him. And it's backing Andrew Cuomo, a meathead whose whole career in politics stems from his daddy being good at it. But *Mamdani* is the nepo baby, because his mom was a filmmaker? Sure.

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

Hope I’m not being too harsh in saying that if you were in charge of publishing an entire list of best Robert Redford films & reached out to various male writers & not a single woman, then you probably haven’t taken to heart his legacy & all the things he did in his biz to level the playing field.
