I had a great time writing the essay for this May Criterion release of a film that was a huge deal in 1974. Today it's less known than its Best Pic Oscar competition (Godfather II! The Conversation! Chinatown! What a year!) but is well worth a revisit or first look. www.criterion.com/films/29151-...

What is the actual complaint here? That the videos are "snappy"? That there are too many of them? That he wore the wrong kind of jacket? That government agencies have emblems? That he's too on top of things? That he got the job--ah, yes, that's the one.
The tone of contempt here, in a news update, is disgraceful. "How dare Mamdani and his team...uh...wear those clothes and use social media to try to prevent bad things from happening when...um...bad things could still happen in a situation like this!" GTFO.
BTW Tourette's is a neurological and motor disorder. Not the same thing.
It's disappointing to see how quickly a lot of people here have pivoted to, "Well, if you have THAT kind of mental illness, do the proper thing and never go out." The movie I SWEAR, about John Davidson's life, opens in the U.S. in April, and it probably can't get here soon enough.
No, I'm sorry, we are not "still on for today," and no, I cannot do a zoom because, uh, the snow broke my zoomer. Best of luck to you and let's circle back in April.

I'm an angry, sad, bitter person. Because I ate raspberries.
lol why would I grow a berry that I hate?
I'm a little tired of the appetite here for "Disqualified!" and "Do better!" and "If you [fill in the blank] you're complicit!" to people who are 90% with you. The number of people on Bluesky who need your policing is possibly lower than some of you imagine.
A lot of Republicans who insist that the system is rigged against people like them have a perverse admiration for people in power who take everything they can get. They tell themselves they'd do the same thing if they had the chance.

And sure enough he’s won both. Seek this movie out when it opens in the US in April. Robert deserves an invitation to the Oscars next year.
I'll share one purely anecdotal thing: When I ask Academy members not who they're voting for but what name they'd like to hear read when the envelope is opened, what I hear again and again is, Ethan Hawke or Wagner Moura. Of course Chalamet could win, or DiCaprio, but nobody feels either is owed.
And your BAFTA Best Actor is...Robert Aramayo! Hard to describe what an astounding upset this is in an awards season that has been tediously devoid of them. (His movie will open in the U.S. in April.) variety.com/2026/film/ne...
Deleted a post because I got suckered by some dumb AI piece of shit.
(I really hope this is the last time I ever have to write that sentence.)
There's so much about this country I would happily apologize to you for. But not that!
