      If you enjoyed NIGHTCRAWLER and/or NETWORK, make sure to check out BROADCAST NEWS (1987): a sharp, smart, and bittersweet satire of the commercialization of news media that's better than either of those.pic.twitter.com/z2coCW6NIt

          But overall, I've mostly lost the ability to distinguish "good" movies from "bad." I find movies either enjoyable or tedious to watch. That's really the only thing that matters to me.

          For instance, I'm not sure if one could/should qualify McG's CHARLIE'S ANGELS: FULL THROTTLE as a "good" movie — but it's constantly surprising, it's got its own vibe, and I'm never bored watching it.pic.twitter.com/aNkP5DxAIH

          When asked to name my favorite movie, I often cite John Frankenheimer's SECONDS (1966): because it's a masterpiece (duh!), because it has all the things I love (horror, sci-fi, politics, great cinematography, clever writing), and because not enough people know it.pic.twitter.com/fGwxhrLQlQ

          I enjoy all movie genres, but horror is my favorite because its primary function is subversion, it's often very funny, it's not afraid to be gross or awkward, and it's usually funny.

          ACE IN THE HOLE (1951) is my favorite Billy Wilder movie. It teaches us more about clickbait journalism, fake news, and the cutthroat world of commercial media production than any contemporary movie.
