Two of my favorite first-time watches of the year are Vegas movies: Richard Brooks’s FEVER PITCH (1985) and Nina Menkes’s QUEEN OF DIAMONDS (1991). FEVER PITCH is hectic, desperate. QUEEN OF DIAMONDS is slow, deliberate. It occurs to me they’d make a hell of a weird and interesting double feature.

Goddamn, what a poster! My most anticipated movie of the year. James Gray is one of the all-time greats.

It’s the 50th anniversary of Tom Waits’s SMALL CHANGE. One of those pieces of art that redefined the world for me. As with David Lynch’s BLUE VELVET, I can mark time by my life before SMALL CHANGE & my life after it. What an album. Beyond thankful for it.

The NYT is running a feature on the 100 best TV shows of the 21st century. As with the movie list they did, anyone can cast their own ballot. Here are my favorites (with some notes and a list of other shows I like a lot—I’m sure I’m forgetting stuff).

An album that keeps getting better and better. Been in heavy rotation around here since it came out a few months ago. Keeps climbing my Favorites of ’26 list. zohamba.bandcamp.com/album/eyes-f...

PSA: John Ridley’s COLD AROUND THE HEART is on Prime. Killer title screen (should’ve been the poster); David Caruso in heavy duty Caruso mode; the goddess Kelly Lynch playing a character called Jude Law. Wrote about it a bit here: boxd.it/3XlW

A beautiful & heartbreaking read. I’ve been a fan of JTE from the start, & it was compelling as hell to see him through the eyes of all the people who loved & worried about him. I can’t imagine a book doing a better job of telling his story.

RIP Dolly Parton. One of our greatest songwriters and one of the greatest humans. Hard to imagine a world without her. The songs and albums, the movies, the Dolly Parton Imagination Library, and so much more . . . What a profound loss.

You Can't Win, which ace movie-recommender @wmboyle4.bsky.social mentioned elsewhere this afternoon, so it shot right to the top. Also, it's on @kanopy.bsky.social!

I wrote a bit about Jack Black’s YOU CAN’T WIN, one of my all-time favorite books, and Robinson Devor’s long-shelved adaptation of it, which has recently been released on streaming with no fanfare (the poster is atrocious, but I thought the film was good): boxd.it/fHqqxT

Everyone’s revisiting ONCE (as I did last night, crying my eyes out), but you should also be sure to (re)watch THE SWELL SEASON doc. It’s a beautiful portrait of a fragile creative & romantic partnership. A highlight is GH singing my favorite song ever, “Raglan Road.” m.youtube.com/watch?v=fnkJ...

Dennis Hopper's sun-soaked pulp noir gets the UHD + HDR treatment. Don Johnson, Virginia Madsen and Jennifer Connelly are enmeshed in a dusty small town love-triangle, whose only escape is murder. THE HOT SPOT (UHD + BD LE) is out in UK and US/CA this August.
