Last night was pure magic. Talking to Disney animation legends Ron Clements and John Musker about the making of THE LITTLE MERMAID was a delight. These artists made several movies that mean so much to me. Thank you to @egyptianla.bsky.social and @lafilmcritics.bsky.social for making it happen!

The Front Row: β€œPortrait of Jason” In this 1967 documentary about a self-described β€œhustler,” Shirley Clarke transformed the very notion of personal filmmaking.

Shirley Clarke's great Portrait of Jason, at the Paris Theatre at 3:15pm: it's one of the few movies where seeing it in the theatre matters, because it puts the imagesβ€”more recessive at homeβ€”in balance with the voice; word x2:

U.S. Park Service Strikes Transgender References From Stonewall Website The β€œT” was removed in references to L.G.B.T.Q.+ on the official site for the Greenwich Village monument, which marks a milestone in the fight for gay rights.

The Stonewall Riots happened because trans people, particularly of color, rose up against state violence. You can’t even begin to tell the story without our trans ancestors and elders. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/n...

Went to an amazing screening of Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar with the filmmakers present and the most important fact I learned is that this character is named Sharon Morgan Fisherman.

As someone who lives for a transcendent combo of imagery and music in cinema, David Lynch was my North Star. RIP to an unmatchable genius.

Very excited.

I’ve been in line to get in for two minutes and already bumped into two homosexuals from Los Angeles. Is this the Christmas magic?

Your fave Christmas movie has an angel coming to Earth to show a guy how bad the world would be without him; my fave has angel Cary Grant coming to Earth to make a cuckold out of a clergyman. We are not the same.

These are so good, I can hardly stand it.

Really feels like the last awards show that still highlights truly independent work regardless of buzz, budget or star power.

BIG BOYS and Isaac Krasner’s charming turn in it getting this level of love makes me wanna go twirl and sing on a mountaintop.
