One of the best documentaries at Venice this year is Robert Greene's TOO MUCH SUGAR, which is... well, it's hard to describe. My review: www.vulture.com/article/too-...

If You Made a Movie About Your Life, What Would It Look Like?
With Too Much Sugar, documentarian Robert Greene has found the perfect embodiment of the moving image’s power to help us dream and survive together.

I love thinking about @prewarcinema.bsky.social's excellent editing work on Pavements as "a stitched-together mixtape of all the different interpretations of the band."

In our slide towards a fascist state, this is what a Missouri legislator said as he rejected the will of 58% of Missourians to raise the minimum wage. “Of course the people voted for it. It’d be like asking your teenager if he wanted a checkbook. You know, they’re going to vote for it every time.”

One thing I found out about Sinners is that the people who live where it's set can't watch it because there's no movie theater around! Credit to everyone making this effort to bring it to them, but it sucks that this is a problem to begin with www.wgbh.org/news/2025-05...

Honestly I don’t know the first thing about Pavement, the band, but the semi-documentary PAVEMENTS is at least as much about the goofy ways we try to memorialize rockers in docs and fiction alike and it’s terrific: www.nytimes.com/2025/05/02/m...

"A group of settlers just lynched Hamdan Ballal, co director of our film no other land. They beat him and he has injuries in his head and stomach, bleeding. Soldiers invaded the ambulance he called, and took him. No sign of him since."
