I'm gone from this place. You can find me on Bluesky as EVincentelli and Threads as doublediamondev.

@SchnockRevue Voilà: Kid Creole en plus danse/disco et le Grand Orchestre en plus comédie.

@EVincentelli Oui, il y a de ça. Mais dans un registre encore plus "odd" et ouvertement "comédie".

Que ce titre époustouflant du Grand Orchestre du Splendid, comme "La Salsa du démon" et "Radio Pirate" (mais TOUT en fait), ne soit plus disponible est un scandale absolu. Je demande ici même l'intervention de L'État pour régler illico ce dossier urgentissime.

Did Covid expose underlying structural problems in American theater? We discussed this and more in with Michael Kaiser, the former Kennedy Center president who now advises performing arts groups in trouble. marksvincentelli.substack.com/p/your-arts-ce…

@bbkuett @IndieWire @tnyfrontrow "Political and sexual infantilism" feels pretty accurate to me.

“I never wanted it to become a shtick of mine or anything like that,” Sean Baker shared at IndieWire’s #FutureOfFilmmaking. “I want these to be stories that I am passionate about telling and feel I can do it in the most respectful and responsible way.” trib.al/zxE1cr3

@VogelPaula I hope that "some point" comes soon!

@EVincentelli At some point I will spill the beans on how Nora ripped me off as a younger writer

Nora Ephron… I just can’t. The whole edifice relies on living in blithe affluence and never ever questioning it.

@selfstyledsiren Just Ephron talk around a new book about her. (There’s also a play on Broadway based on Delia’s memoir so I’ve been thinking about the Ephron worldview these days.)

@EVincentelli can I ask politely what I missed?

@michelledean Both.

I'm interested in current artists responses to bad reviews (there's a story here today) and I think about how RARE and GENTLE bad reviews are nowadays. I was reminded just the other day that EBTG's Temperamental got 1 out of 10 in the NME. Which is objectively just mad/hilarious!

Another terrific piece to add to the evidence that’s been piling up: @zinoman should be in line for a Pulitzer in criticism. nytimes.com/2024/10/28/art…

@kennymellman Exactly. Their two slices are not made equal: the vast majority of people get the square for a reason. And that Chuck E Cheese reference?

@EVincentelli also very weird to not picture the iconic square slice

My fave, L&B Spumoni Gardens, is included but a derisive, off-base description saying it's from the kids' menu (!) and the crust is "a little fried" (it's baked to a golden crust in ancient pans) will keep the influencer hordes away. nytimes.com/article/best-n…

@J_Lachasse Excellente série d’articles, je me régale.

L’article sur "Les 11 commandements" est en ligne 👇

Dans les coulisses des comédies françaises, saison 5. On y est enfin ! Dix articles et dix podcasts à lire et à écouter sur @BFMTV🍿 Avec un beau casting. Et des histoires folles. Ce sera divisé en deux parties, pour vous accompagner pendant les fêtes !

@SamuelAAdams Eric Rohmer’s films lack tension and stakes. Sad!

@EVincentelli really hate when critics talk like hack screenwriting professors

A review of a new movie says it lacks “tension, danger, build, and stakes, the hallmarks of dramatic narrative” — which would fine if “The Golden Book” was a thriller but it’s an adaptation of a meditative, gentle Tove Jansson novel about grief, nature and time!

@SamuelAAdams That review is a prime example.

I’m going to put it out there now: Courtney Vandersloot goes to the Valkyries and Kelsey Plum comes to the Liberty.
