    Tonight I went to for the first time in at least 18 months. It was exactly the same as it was pre-pandemic, which is oddly comforting.

    I have a bridge to sell to the folks who thought Denis Villeneuve would be deferential and obsequious about Marvel movies.

    The arts guide is here! I wrote about the AFI Latin American Film Fest and an upcoming Mary Lattimore concert, but the whole thing is expertly curated. Fire it up along with your calendar

    Tomorrow I am attending a public screening for a movie I’m assigned because, after being promised a viewing link, the studio can’t seem to share them. Nice job, [REDACTED], I’m sure this will get me to like your dumb movie more!

    This is fantastic news! Landmark has a great midnight/rep program in DC, and I'd love to see what they do with a historical theater like The Uptown.

    Today I managed to extricate myself out of four hours of weekly meetings, and I doubt I’ll have a bigger accomplishment this month.

    NGL I kept thinking about this last Saturday. "What a terrible name for an airliner, it reminds me of that tragedy."

    I look forward to Nolan's new film getting an exclusive premiere on Peacock (with commercials, natch).

    Disturbing news. He’s one of the world’s most gifted filmmakers, and a lovely man. (Also Cannes prize-winner Loveless.) Fervent prayers for his recovery.

    Russian filmmaker Andrey Zvyagintsev, the director behind The Return (2003) & Leviathan (2014), is reportedly fighting for his life against COVID complications in Germany (he was transferred abroad). says he sustained damage to 90% of his lungs.

    I did not care for The Alpinist, a documentary with misleading structure that exploits audience good faith. A story and subject like this deserves a slightly more withering approach. My review

    I don't know when it happened - probably somewhere between Black Widow and the latest trailer - but I realized I could just stop covering or keeping up with the MCU. I find its pervasive mediocrity depressing, and now that I'm out, I feel relieved.

    Today is Brian De Palma’s birthday. If you’re like me and find most 9/11 remembrances painful, offensive, or grotesque, you could always watch Blow Out or Body Double.
