“The Art Creates the Man”: Rebecca Miller on Documenting Martin Scorsese’s Life and Work in ‘Mr. Scorsese’ In this interview, Rebecca Miller discusses how radical listening shaped her five-part series Mr. Scorsese, from tracking down childhood gangsters to employing splitscreens

For @documentary.org, I spoke with Rebecca Miller about her big ol' five-part look at everyone's favorite short king filmmaker

Scarlet Hamlet is invoked as a familiar revenge-plot classic, but that premise is mere window dressing. The characters from the play bear little resemblance to how they are written in it here, and are mostly ...

The end is in sight for my time at NYFF this year, got some more coverage. First, for @reverseshot.bsky.social, I reviewed Scarlet. Big fan of Mamoru Hosoda so this one let me down

Delighted that a long-brewing project at @reverseshot.bsky.social that I've been a part of has finally come to fruition: a weeklong symposium on the games of That Guy Himself. I'll be bringing it home on Friday, but for now, here's Cole Kronman on Kojima's early work reverseshot.org/features/336...

You’re braver than the troops

Kaleb Horton was one of the writers whose qualities I was consistently chasing (and usually feeling like I failed to match) in my own work. Got to have a lovely lunch with him just once, right before I left LA. An extraordinary loss.

I’m so sorry

I don’t have much to add that hasn’t already been said by people closer to him but he captured the California that *I know and grew up with*, the desperation and beauty of the Central Valley, the dark corners and the bright lights- talented beyond belief and gone far too soon

I also have advice. Everybody loves reading advice on the computer, so I'll share it: the best thing you can do right now is log off as hard as you can. Go outside, talk to people in real life where it's actually kind of rude to talk about the news, try to actually see the friends you usually just text message. Go for a long drive and turn the phone off while you do it. Get back into your hobbies or pick one and learn it for a while. Watch one of those studio movies that reviews called "wildly miscalculated" and you haven't seen since high school. Play an album you like but find embarrassing. Go to free community events even if they sound stupid. If you take the freeway, try the surface streets. Go to a bad diner and just order some bad coffee because even bad coffee is good coffee. You can't help anybody when you're exhausted and keep posting one million college-educated rewordings of "I would love to be dead right now" on the computer. Walk away from the thing and try out some of those normal things you hear about and if you get bored that's wonderful because we're not supposed to get bored anymore. It turns out boredom is the Cadillac of feelings.

RIP Kaleb Horton

[at my second rodeo] listen up you ignorant sack of shit

CHOTINER: And you thought it would be funny to do a fake interview by me?
ME: A lot of people have, so
CHOTINER: You were looking for engagement?
ME: Well, to make someone laugh I guess
CHOTINER: How many likes and reposts did it get?
ME: That's, uh, not really the metric...look can we start over

The Gotham Pages: AI and the Usefulness Question Amid the perpetual torrent of news about rising investment in artificial intelligence tools within the entertainment industry, one recent item garnered particular attention online.

For @filmmakermagazine.com.web.brid.gy's Gotham Pages, I surveyed the landscape of AI tools on hand for filmmakers and tried to suss what, if any, Actual Uses there are to be had for them filmmakermagazine.com/131861-the-g...

The house in No Other Choice is insanely good, I'd kill so many more guys than Lee Byung-hun does to hold onto that

Don’t care about the guy who isn’t aging. Give me an article about a guy who unlocked the ability to double jump

Do you think unbending Clippy until he was a long piece of metal would be painful for him. Or do you think it would cause him to feel a great sense of relief

Vintage grape nuts cereal ad. An anthropomorphic box of G-nuts with thick sexy legs holds a man in a suit from behind.

Grape Nuts (holding me back): Whoa whoa whoa, hey man, just let it go! This asshole isn't worth it!

The eye exam is the perfect game design. That big E is a great tutorial that teaches you the basic mechanic. But it doesn't baby you and quickly gets hard as they introduce the small and blurry enemies.

I understand that studios see more value in their stars cuddling puppies and doing their four favourites and getting nice portraits taken at film festivals than doing interviews with press who want to have a conversation about their work but it doesn't stop me wanting to stick my hand in a blender

You ever wonder how good this must have felt for Jesus
