I'm reading Cormac McCarthy for the first time and honestly his prose is jaw-dropping. He puts together these sentences that seem impossible. I read them and think: how did it occur to another human to put words together this way? It's amazing.

@DGKMusic mother!

suggest to me extremely divorced movies!! (they don’t have to be about divorce at all, but the creator’s divorce should be obvious in the film’s dna)

@JoeTurquoise Sad to see that Japan still has an anti-Godzilla bias

@ntweinbender Ah, that makes more sense. Appreciate the info on that so I’m not staring at the rain out my window all day.

The biggest snub is no Godzilla Minus One for International Feature.

🚨🚨 American Movie is now streaming on Tubi 🚨🚨

“Staind Glass” is probably still the funniest podcast ep I’ve ever listened to.

Will never forget the time at the IMAX in Hollywood opening weekend for Interstellar when they introduced the film by telling the audience that Nolan had sat in every seat in this very theater to ensure the quality only for them to start the movie and it was projected upside down

I’m no millionaire studio exec, but if I saw a $15M horror movie with so so reviews make $30M opening weekend and a $300M tentpole with so so reviews make $60M opening weekend, I’d strongly reconsider my “everything must be $300M and based on nostalgia” business model.

this seems like as good a day as any to decree that our new national anthem is Night Moves by Bob Seger

Happy birthday to the fearless, radiant, and inimitable actress Gena Rowlands 💛 💫

lol idk if this has been shared before but jason schwartzman just said that his relationship with wes anderson was founded on a shared love of weezer’s pinkerton

Barry Newman, who starred in the 1971 movie “Vanishing Point,” which gained acclaim decades after its release, and the TV legal drama “Petrocelli,” died in May. He was 92. nyti.ms/3CkMPCi

7 June. Bad. Wrote nothing today.

first movie that comes to mind when you think of a swimming pool

It is once again time to dust off Scorsese's Harper's essay

@becroll And the Palme d'Or goes to... ANATOMY OF A FALL! Incredibly, that's four straight films from Neon that have won the Palme (after TRIANGLE OF SADNESS, TITANE, and PARASITE)

The new HBO Max (MAX) has eliminated writer/director credits in their interface in favor of a vague "Creators." This is what Raging Bull currently looks like. It's so fucking over.
