Just saw The Christophers tonight and I loved it--Soderbergh working in the service of an exceptionally sharp, witty, original, adult screenplay by Ed Solomon and performances by Ian McKellen (spectacular!) and Michaela Coel that, like the script, deserve to be remembered at year's end. Do not miss.

And fucking lazy.
Sincere question for you: Do you have any faith at all that this will be the last set of "Uh-oh" headlines about this guy between now and November?
I'd hate to see your definition of "a lot." To me, a Totenkopf tattoo, a sexting scandal, and a basement-dweller's Reddit history qualifies. The people who are pissed off about this want the same win you do. They're also sick of "authenticity" being used to justify inadequacy. He was a bad call.
If anyone would like to interview me about the awards I haven't won, I wish to announce that I am available.
Glumly realizing that I would actually like Trump to continue to be alive until the midterms, just to avoid the utter avalanche of "in fairness" and "Clean slate" and "He's slowly proving to be his own man" and "Fresh start" and "Benefit of the doubt" with which the media would lube his successor.
I believe that a lot of them are hardcore pragmatists, which at this point...fine. But a large percentage of would-be Democratic kingmakers love "authenticity" when it comes to straight white dudes with no impulse control, and in anyone else, frown that they're not "meeting people where they are."
Don’t worry, this will definitely be the last piece of unwelcome news about him. No more problems for sure!
Peak 1992 style and hotness! I love every second.
Actually, telling me with zero knowledge how I have been blinded by hatred is the definition of bad faith. Let's stop now because I don't have time to give you a crash course in a subject I have covered for forty years, and if I see the word bro again I cannot be held responsible for what follows.☮️
Not really in need of a history lesson on this, or of bad-faith replies about my tastes, thanks. If I didn't think something was interesting, I wouldn't be posting.
I'm not sure what your point is. A24 is everything traditional studios are not, and $10 million is pennies.
Yeah, and I've written about the "other" 1970s Hollywood--the one full of a more successful version of traditional studio product. But that doesn't mean nothing important changed, or that nothing important is changing now.
One thing to look for this summer is that when something traditional and franchisey connects in a big way--say, Toy Story, Spider-Man (but not, we now know, Star Wars), the "Hollywood's back, baby!" noise in the trade press is going to be loud, maybe too insistent. And you know...I guess we'll see.
I always think of what the smart and menschy director Arthur Penn told me about the early- and mid-'60s years just before everything changed when I interviewed him for Pictures at a Revolution: "It wasn't just that we were sick of the system. At that point, the system was sick of itself."
I'm watching the last of the old-guard studios labor and sweat to drag their ancient mainstays--Marvel, DC, Star Wars, Fast/Furious, etc.--into the 2030s, and it feels like just enough of them will succeed to convince those in charge not to look down and see the ground vanishing beneath their feet.
Is, not are. Goddamnit, somebody grow this site up and give me an edit function.
Yeah, I'm talking about the remaining traditionals: Sony, Paramount, Universal, Warner Brothers, and Disney.
