I show movies at the Academy Museum and teach film at CalArts 🎞️ 4th generation SoCal gal with a yen for thrifting. If you need me, you’ll find me in the cinema 👀 (opinions mine)

STREETS OF FIRE on 70mm! With rare appearance by director Walter Hill - he said he hadn't seen the movie since it hit screens 41 years ago. Great Q&A with @kjrelthmiller.bsky.social

Actually crying. We so wanted him to join us for ERASERHEAD at the museum, but his health wasn’t in a good place. A life-changing visionary to anyone who has ever seen his movies.

The Academy Museum is reopening today with screenings resuming as scheduled. I’ll be there to introduce, and watch, our 2p COOL HAND LUKE screening. I really need a movie right now.

The dear folks at the Museum of Home Video are streaming 3 episodes of my pandemic-era show as part of a fundraiser for the immeasurable loss L.A. is enduring. Hope you can tune in (for free) Sun @ NOON to pay tribute to our city + donate to worthy causes if you can.

Love this pic of the wife @kjrelthmiller.bsky.social with Cronenberg from this past weekend. He's making a great face.

disclosure: I was SO nervous last night. I raaarely get nervous before Q&As but this one was special + so many friends & my mom were there! Then some @$$ clown shouted something as I was reading Cronenberg’s bio & it totally threw me. Ultimately had a dreamy time & will remember the night forever 🥰

Pinching myself. I am so damn lucky. Can’t wait to converse with Cronenberg tomorrow night after eXistenZ. Standby line will be in full effect — and everyone got in for Videodrome tonight! See you there.

Just learned through an IG friend that works by Greer Lankton are currently on display at @moma.bsky.social in an exhibit titled Vital Signs: Artists and the Body, on view through Feb 22. Her dolls strike deep, complicated feelings in me both familiar and unknowable. NYers should seek out this show!

I’m so enamored of this movie that whenever I hear Springsteen’s “It’s Hard to Be a Saint in the City” I literally swoon. My highest recommend on this forthcoming release!

My most successful resolution was in 2017 when I committed to watching at least 1 film per day (average). Have stuck with it for 8 years & don’t plan to stop. Don’t expect anyone else to relate or care, but I’ve made a few goals for myself in 2025. Trying to keep them light and achievable!

Been spending the last week with my mom, who is three weeks post immunotherapy treatment for lymphoma. Seems fitting to spend NYE at The Crab Cooker, an Orange County institution our family has frequented for major occasions & celebrations since the 1960s. Here’s to a healthy & happy 2025 to all.

Hauled out the yearbooks at the family Xmas eve dinner tonight. Here’s a winner from a rehearsal for the school play c. 2000. The details—Abercrombie, Adidas Superstars, thin-as-hell eyebrows, box-dyed streaks, waterline eyeliner—make me so proud.

For those who loved Richard McGuire‘s graphic novel but couldn’t stand the look or the schmaltz of the recent film adaptation: Daniel Mason’s NORTH WOODS, about the inhabitants of a yellow cabin in Northern Massachusetts across five centuries, is the perfect antidote.

In this house @joshmillerlite.bsky.social and I celebrate Planet Hollywood 🌎 ⭐️
A hand holds a salt and pepper shaker shaped like a globe with raised letters reading “Planet Hollywood” on its surface. In the background is a bookshelf. A lapel pin of a blue sphere with text over it that reads “Planet Hollywood” in red letters and “South Coast Plaza” in black letters on a yellow banner. It sits on a wood table. A white man with brown hair stands with his hands on his hips modeling a black crew neck sweatshirt that reads “Planet Hollywood: Minneapolis” in red and white font.
