I love me some monster movies. 1997’s THE RELIC has all the horror action you’d want. And then some.

Not an invitation.

If someone wrote a takedown of me the way Farber did of Truffaut, I would simply stop making things.

Oh no. Seen it a bunch. Love it. Just got the 4k

A little low on views the last week but the staff that I watched RIPS.

Loved it!

I was so thrilled to join @jasondashbailey.com and @fifthcolumnfilms.bsky.social to talk about a movie that really changed my whole damn life. Here's the video version if you're so inclined! www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwP0...

Gave up two episodes in.

Really good.

Loved talking to friend of the show (and friend in real life!) @jasondashbailey.com about Gandolfini! Also, his astonishing book Gandolfini!

@Acyn Question: Is there room for you and Mamdani in the Democratic Party? Phillips: The answer, ultimately, I think, is no When you have socialists in the Democratic Party, I don't know how anybody could argue that that would be beneficial for the party or for the country 1:19 AM · Jul 10, 2025

Everyone like this needs to be hounded out of the Democratic Party. These are people who genuinely believe a permanent Trump/GOP trifecta is a better outcome than policy being slightly left of their preferences. They are a major reason why millions of people who agree with Dems don't bother to vote.

The Craft of Acting: Brian Cox From Shakespeare to SUCCESSION, Scottish actor Brian Cox has carved out a distinguished, six-decade-plus career on both stage and screen, along the way winning two Olivier Awards, an Emmy, and a Golde...

Since it is now July, you can watch the second episode of THE CRAFT OF ACTING, in which I talk to the great Brian Cox (!!!) about his career, technique, why he loves live theater, the surprising basis of his take on Hannibal Lecter and much, much more.

This movie is amazing!

There's a moment at the end here Pacino makes the smallest (apparently improvised) gesture and it's a moment of genius. Good movie.

Caché an even better film twenty years later. Fuck.

I think there's a comparison point between him and Mangold in their taste, but Mangold is just so much better.

Interesting. I'm trying to think of another film of his I've seen. What blows my mind about this is that it has great actors and a good idea, and the writing and execution are just flat. Julianne Nicholson innocent though.

Opinion | Don’t call it ‘Alligator Alcatraz.’ Call it a concentration camp. This facility’s purpose fits the classic model, and its existence points to serious dangers ahead for the country.

Enough Said : Jacob Burns Film Center Enough Said, James Gandolfini, Nicole Holofcener, Jason Bailey

NEW YORK AREA! Join me Monday night at the @burnsfilmcenter.bsky.social where I'll introduce my favorite James Gandolfini movie, do a Q&A after, and sell and sign copies of GANDOLFINI. Gonna be a good time!

American cinema would be nonexistent without immigrants and the children of immigrants.

BLACK MASS is awful.

Almost always true:

THE LAST CASTLE is a movie that complicates our relationship to patriotism. Feels like the right movie for right now. Listen to our episode this week featuring friend of the show @jasondashbailey.com!

Happy 4th to the real American beer

What I love about Jamelle Bouie is that he is equally at home talking about dumb action movies as he is writing about the history that got us to this moment. His intellect is pretty unwatched and we're lucky to have someone so varied and thoughtful comment on our nation today.
