The executive order also decreed that “Lake America” is also the official name of Trump’s adult diaper

I hope they squeeze in Samantha Morton as Circe, too

I keep saying the same thing! And they’re such incompetents, how hard is it to expose their lies??

“President Trump is laser focused on helping the American people and keeping them safe. That will always be his priority.” Unless there’s some part of the White House that’s bereft of golden signage. That’s priority #1

The one stereo equipment repair guy I had in NYC (on an upper floor of a garment district building) closed shop. 😢

Love this movie. Georgianne Walken and Sheila Jaffe cast The Daytrippers, too.

There's only one way out of this. New identity. Plastic surgery, phony passport, move to another part of the world. And still, the shoelace purveyors may find you.

I seem to recall you writing a lovely essay for a Criterion release…

Greetings, new friends! You may know me as an author, a prolific Bluesky poster and 4th place finisher on So You Call That Dancing? But you might not know that my partner Judith (@mzpress) and I have an online arts bookstore that's growing every day. Full inventory here: mzs.press/EVERYTHING-W...

The covers of three books. Left to right: Gandolfini: Jim, Tony, and the life of a legend, about the late Sopranos actor. The cover shows Gandolfini looking shy, peering offscreen with one unobstructed eye and another that peeks out between the fingers of his right hand.
CENTER: The cover of Cinema Her Way, a coffee table book by Marya E. Gates about female directors. On the cover is actress Michelle Rodriguez as the boxer heroine of Karyn Kusama's sports drama Girlfight, about a woman boxer.
RIGHT David Hockney's painting collection The Arrival of Spring in Normandy, showing a painting of a verdant field. In the background of the field is green grass. in the upper foreground are the branches of a tree sprouting white, cottony buds.

A screenshot of the pre-orders section at mzs.press. Three screenshots of books that have not yet been released. I Am The Night, Daniel Dockery's book about Batman the Brave and the Bold, has a silhouette of Batman stretching from the top to the bottom of the cover, with the title of the book and a nighttime Gotham skyline circumscribed by the borders of the Batman silhouette.

CENTER The cover of The Ring Cycle, Matt Zoller Seitz and Odie Henderson's book on the Rocky and Creed films. The cover is white except for a pair of black boxing gloves floating there

RIGHT The cover of Documentary Now!, the 600-page, 7-pound coffee table book celebrating the aforementioned IFC Channel series parodying classic documentaries.

Screenshot of three books carried at mzs.press arts bookstore:
LEFT: Cover of Lead Sister, a biography of Karen Carpenter, featuring a closeup of Carpenter playing and singing with The Carpenters.
CENTER: The cover of Anthony Hopkins' We Did OK, Kid, a memoir of his life and career. On the cover is Hopkins in closeup as he looks presently, narrowed blue eyes looking directly at the spectator.
RIGHT: Cover of Louis Armstrong In His Own Words, a collection of the bandleader's correspondence. The cover image is a photograph of a probably fortysomething Armstrong seated at the wooden desk in his office where he often wrote letters.

Screenshot of the covers of 3 books carried at mzs.press Arts Bookstore.
LEFT: The cover of Gotham City Cocktails, a book of mixed drink recipes inspired by Batman. Art deco-style flowing border lines flow around and around the interior of the dust jacket. At the center are drawings of two tall cocktail glasses and between them, a shot glass and a tumbler with a sword-pierced cherry in it.
CENTER: The cover of Downton Abbey Afternoon Tea Cookbook. Green cover, white writing and graphics. The central image is a teapot with stem lines coming out of it, and at the pot's base, a teacup and saucer and a separate plate of biscuits.
RIGHT: Bob's Burgers "The Re-Recipe Box," a set of recipe cards inspired by the joke hamburger names featured on the small board at the front of Bob's joint. Red sides with small graphics, cover image of the restaurant.

I understood Mamet better when I realized that in his mind Glengarry Glen Ross wasn’t a satirical indictment, but more akin to a wildlife documentary. Brilliant nonetheless

My old professor David Mamet shows up in Marty Supreme. Although his politics and world view enrage and depress me, I cannot deny my admiration for his best work. What can you do?

Lovely review. I can’t wait to see it.

A lot of the best -- and best-looking -- movies of '25 were shot on film. It ain't dead yet. Just a few: Marty Supreme One Battle After Another Sinners Bugonia The Phoenician Scheme

Saw it in NYC at the Paris, hard agree

Saw it tonight at The Paris — it’s fantastic! I wish I could watch Josh O’Connor and Daniel Craig solve crimes and debate the existence of God for ten more movies.

I'm BLINDED by the WINNING! Or, more precisely, I jabbed two forks into my eyes because I can't fucking take it anymore.
