Another thing sharing Mad Men clips has me thinking about: I feel like so much TV right now has forgotten to be FUN. Sure, Mad Men was prestigey but it was also FUN to watch.

Everyone talked about the accent work Kate Winslet did in Mare of Easttown, but no one's talking about the accent work Lisa Ann Walter is doing on Abbott Elementary

In M:I 3 when Cruise is wearing the Philip Seymour Hoffman mask, PSH is so good that I still believe it’s Cruise wearing a mask of his face

Here's the thing: I love Steven Spielberg. I love The Fabelmans, a movie that too many dismiss as simple and starry-eyed when it's actually so layered and almost cynical.

BONES AND ALL is so sweepingly, gushingly romantic, but also very gross, fitting neatly in between CMBYN and Suspiria on the Luca scale.

If you think The Fablemans is about the "magic of cinema..." watch it again. It's, at least partially, about how looking at the world through a camera can be a curse.

Has everyone who watched The Last of Us last night realized that Nico Parker is Thandiwe Newton's daughter and the resemblance is VERY strong

How have we allowed Penn Badgley to have a major post-Gossip Girl career revival and NOT Leighton Meester? Where is HER cheesy/campy series?

And you’re NOT going to let this man accept his honorary award on the telecast?

The Jon Peters sequence of Licorice Pizza was filmed at the house I grew up in. I asked for a statement from Paul Thomas Anderson so I could write about it. Instead, we chatted on the phone for 30 minutes about the Valley. An absolute dream.

Anyway I'm proud of my entertainment industry nepo baby heritage: My dad directed the Beach Boys episode of Full House and my mom cast the original Off Broadway production of Little Shop of Horrors.

Obviously the cast of Death on the Nile is uniquely cursed, but I will say it’s a) better than Orient Express and b) I remain sort of charmed that Kenneth Branagh’s Agatha Christie cinematic universe exists.

TOP GUN: MAVERICK is a movie about how Tom Cruise will never stop doing this shit, absolutely not, you can’t make him. (Yeah, it rules.)

As a woman (lmao) I love movies about women (Barbie). I also love movies about male hubris destroying the world (Oppenheimer) and I don't need to see myself represented in the latter.

In THREE THOUSAND YEARS OF LONGING, Tilda and Idris speak hellenic Greek to one another and surely this fulfills someone’s kink somewhere

Sunday I am seeing Assassins. Monday I am seeing West Side Story. The following Saturday I am seeing Company. Forget the holiday season, it’s Sondheim season.

Paul Thomas Anderson's #LicoricePizza broke the pandemic era per-theater average record once held by Wes Anderson's #TheFrenchDispatch. Paul W.S. Anderson is an executive producer on "Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City," which also opens this weekend. bit.ly/3p9Bq1l

Oh I can tweet about House of Gucci. Here’s the thing: Gaga is such a star, she lights up the screen, the movie should be MORE about her and it gets annoying when it swerves into the “business of Gucci” stuff. She befriends a witch played by Salma Hayek.

Whispers: Obviously the press tour was ridiculous, but I still think Gaga’s performance was great, a real va va voom movie star outing, and it’s way better than what N*cle K*dman was doing.

it's funny how Matt Smith became famous playing such a sweet silly version of The Doctor, and now he almost exclusively plays pricks and is very very good at it

Welp, after four years at Thrillist I just got laid off. So if anyone has any gigs or freelance work hit me up. Feel lucky to have a book project in the works, but looking for full time work and other projects.
