Film and TV thoughts from inside the industry beast. Also: culture, politics, and history. Hollywood, CA.

Q: Do you think someone like Abdul El-Sayed may have a problem with Black voters? AOC: I think when you look on the ground, Abdul El-Sayed enjoys the support of many local Black elected leaders… I also think the community is nuanced. I don’t believe that it is a monolith.




You guys would watch Nolan film a tumbleweed going across the desert for 15 minutes and hit The Sphynx thinking it’s absolute cinema because “it shows us how, like the echoes ancient Egypt, the tumbleweed persists in the harsh, unrelenting forces of nature to carry on.”

Emily Wilson after watching the Odyssey: ‘The film presents an Odysseus who feels very bad about things that he's done in war, and is struggling to process them in a very modern, psychiatrised way – and needs drugs to do so! He seems to feel bad about being a warrior, and we never actually see him get to do much warrioring ... Nolan makes the protagonist a likeable, all-American hero; Homer's Odysseus wants glory, and he wants to get spoils from the sack of a city! I kept looking in vain for a sense that this was a film about glory. This is a film that has an interest in shame, but I don't think it has any interest in glory.’
