HOLY COW is refreshing for refusing to "psychologise" its characters. They're not overdetermined, they feel human. A generous approach that also comes through in the way Louise Courvoisier talks here about power dynamics on set & her responsibility in representing sex. She's wise because she cares!

Sometimes things just line up

CA4 embargo is up so I can say it's quietly one of the most conservative marvel films with an overarching plot about forgiving hardball, right wing politicians because they're having their strings pulled by scientists - weird!

Vera Drew: 'At least they’re not saying “banned filmmaker” anymore' As The People's Joker finally goes global, the maverick filmmaker behind the wildest superhero film of the year sounds off about microbudget filmmaking, the trans canon, and Joker 2.

The fact I can't go for a lil run or walk because the weather is so poor is messing me up, I'm gnawing at the bars of my metaphorical cage

It's that time of year folks! So proud to announce the Nominees for the 3rd Annual
@vulture.com Stunt Awards. Follow along in this thread as I tweet out the nominees!

YAYYYY

Caring about the Oscars is a fundamentally silly thing to do. Everybody who enjoys them KNOWS they almost never pick the actual best picture of the year, nor a movie that will last for all time. But sometimes they DO pick a Godfather or a Casablanca or a Parasite. It's part of the fun.

Nooo I really love The Familiar please hold out because I think you'll like the ending 🤧🤧🤧

Soderbergh’s official press head shot is *perfect*

Rose Byrne laying on a beach in a still from Mary Bronstein’s IF I HAD LEGS I'D KICK YOU.

IF I HAD LEGS I'D KICK YOU: Rose Byrne gives an astounding performance in Mary Bronstein’s nightmarish, funny, and devastating drama (which already has distribution through A24). It's the best thing I've seen at the fest thus far 📽️
