I so love reading this. Not only has @filmforumnyc.bsky.social just experienced its two best box office years ever, but a quarter of its members are under 35.

Yes, one of my favorite movies of all time, any genre.

Went to see one of my all-timers last night at @filmforumnyc.bsky.social: John Huston's THE ASPHALT JUNGLE. With each viewing, I think more and more that it's one of the top five best screenplays in all of noir.

One of the absolute greats.

I'm over the moon to be nominated for the LA Times Book Prize for EL DORADO DRIVE but especially because it's alongside four of my favorite writers @aceatkins.bsky.social @louberney.bsky.social @blacktopkid.bsky.social @michaelconnelly.bsky.social

It was such a pleasure to write the essay for Criterion's director-approved 4K of BODY HEAT, exquisitely restored.
Preorder now for May!

I don’t mind adaptations that take creative liberties, but does he at least put an entire fish in his mouth and then pull out only the skeleton?

Between IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT, THE SECRET AGENT and IF I HAD LEGS I'D KICK YOU, is this the year of the cinematic leg?
