Congratulations to @iannathan.bsky.social and everyone who put together "The Thing Expanded" It's a stunning documentary and a mammoth achievement. I was happy to help to bring it to fruition. It is without a doubt the ultimate tribute and deep dive into John Carpenter's seminal film. Amazing!

There will be countless tributes, and rightly so. But Hackman was about the work. So today, simply put on The French Connection, or The Conversation, or Unforgiven, or Superman, or The Royal Tenenbaums et al. Remind yourself what screen presence truly means.

You know what would **really** disrupt the publishing industry? Fair contracts and decent pay for authors. No AI training without the creator’s consent. Artists and translators on the cover. No NDAs for ghostwriters.

What a pleasure, to wax lyrical about arguably Malick's most complete film and the lager context of the MCU (Malick's Cinematic Universe). BTW: John's new book is a marvel.

To me, the Indy films never fit the bill of blockbuster. They are too knowingly a pastiche, too gloriously enriched by tradition, and (in terms of the original trilogy), a love song to physical stunts. #Spielberg

Ian Nathan @iannathan.bsky.social · 17/11/2024

I like many things about The Fabelmans, but it felt needless. Spielberg had poeticised his suburban childhood to immortal effect in E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. Don't wish away the potency of the fairy tale. #Spielberg

"So many entries in his storied canon are resident in my cerebral cortex like the replicant fail-safes of Blade Runner or Christopher Nolan’s implanted ideas in Inception." A Substack read on why my new Spielberg book is my most personal accomplishment. open.substack.com/pub/iannatha...

The start of something big. Spielberg's second and third feature films set the manifesto for the greatest career in postwar cinema. Genre infused with a sense of luminous mystery. #spielberg

It’s on mornings like these, after a couple of cups of coffee, that I wonder whether Marty McFly was modelled on Marty Scorsese. They are both fixated with the past. Then I move on.
