THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

In 2008, on NotComing.com, we published a comprehensive feature on Frederick Wiseman, including reviews of each of his films and an interview. I had ignorantly thought of this as a career retrospective — in the years since, he made *ten* more films. www.notcoming.com/features/wiseman-interview/

One of the takeaways in this story about the history of the PG-13 rating is how certain films have been adjusted to satisfy the MPA. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

There are nine elements from "Jaws" that have been emulated many times over in the last five decades. (We watched over 50 films that include most or all of those nine elements.) www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Much more than a mere creature feature, “Jaws” created a playbook that filmmakers have followed closely for 50 years.

For about a year, I worked with a retired British academic named Alasdair Spark to solve a mystery: where did the original photo from the end of The Shining come from, and where/when was it captured? Last week, we finally found the answer. www.instagram.com/p/DID43LBNPD...
