Mark Harris not wrong about Digger but what… do you want *us* to do? Pretend we like it? I’ve spent my entire life wishing people liked better movies. The movies I like, specifically. If they didn’t pretend to like The Munsters, they’re not gonna face turn for Digger

I horse whipped a Salvation Army guy on Charles Street and theyre making me watch Digger in the sphere instead of going to jail. They said “It’s way worse” and then they said “see you in hell, idiot.”

I had the pleasure of contributing an essay to this Vinegar Syndrome release of Tobe Hooper's Night Terrors, an incredibly weird and underrated film. Also very excited to be featured alongside @mikethorn.bsky.social and @honorszombie.bsky.social. You can pre-order it now!

Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...
A casual Star Wars alien fella at the cantina, in a sun faded, reddish photo. Someone will be mad at me for not knowing who this is. Phil, a balding Caucasian man, poses a model of the garthok, an antagonist from the Coneheads movie.Phil, a balding caucasian man, points at some CG on a CRT computer monitor, as a younger man looks on. The screen shows a model of a dinosaur attacking a jeep, while there's an actual physical model of that event in the foreground for reference.an isolated shot of a star wars vehicle. Sorry, I don't know star wars lol

The long and total silence from the Tennessee authorities about Christa Pike's condition surely means it's bad to the point that they're terrified.

numerous "try not to cry" challenges herein. cry because somebody made something so beautiful about Tony? cry because it parallels Tony's work here in Pittsburgh with the Italian neo-realists after Tony just got back from visiting family in Italy? cry because it mentions Jan? endless options...

Movie of the year gotta be Miller Night Football, the short doc about the decision to put Dennis Miller on Monday Night Football. If there was a better use of time and money than making a documentary about Dennis Miller’s gig as a fucking sportscaster, brother I don’t wanna hear about it!

I urge you if you haven’t watched the Tony Buba film Lightning Over Braddock to watch that film very soon. Put it in your next ten to twenty movies to watch. I swear to god you won’t be sorry

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.

there's a thing in moderate democratic politics where it is considered fundamentally illegitimate to deliver results to your own voters; instead, you must propose a better way to implement your adversaries' entire ideological program

Had an Absolutely terrifying nightmare with an unfortunately funny ending. A little girl turned out to be the devil and a bunch of us had to solve riddles or she’d kill us. in the end she cut off all our limbs and forced us to eat each other, which she called “going Milton mode.”

Parallel Tales: Basically enjoyed this, but I'm not sure what Farhadi thought he was doing remaking Kieslowski. The twain meeting really casts into stark relief everything the pair do differently. Kieslowski was a director of intimacy, Farhadi is a director of confrontation.

Shocked by the greatness of Gary Sherman's Mysterious Two. Incredible setting (country hoe-down where Heaven's Gaters are waiting for the mothership) and Altman-esque drama of everyone involved, though his storybeats and camera are way more concrete. It's like Nashville of the Third Kind.

Looking forward to see the Arthur Jafa exhibition at New Museum when in NYC later this fall. His son is named Ayler. AJ sent me a generous note about them recurringly watching my Albert Ayler film. It was sweet. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/14/a...

Arthur Jafa, Art’s Great Disrupter, Readies a ‘Big Bang’
“I Am Tony,” the artist’s largest museum survey to date, carries a powerful message about identity “forged in the holds of slave ships.”
