I won’t be in London for another 6 months but simply cannot stop thinking about how excited I am to be visiting again. London mutuals, please recommend some movie-related things! I’m all ears with a wide-open schedule to accommodate

Incredibly excited for Sundance this year! Friends/mutuals, who will be in town? Would love to connect, chill, party, and of course, celebrate cinema!

INTERSTELLAR on IMAX 70mm was overwhelming. I basically cried the entire time. Anybody claiming Nolan’s films are devoid of emotion simply aren’t engaging. The sheer presence of love permeating through this thing bowled me over. Nothing like it!

There’s nothing quite like this show in the history of television and film. Just one of the greatest pieces of art ever created.

Once again haunted by the two-part finale of TWIN PEAKS: THE RETURN. A painfully honest text on how cycles of violence seem destined to continue endlessly. No matter how much inherent good there is in the world doing all it can to curb evil, it will forever be a battle.

Chasing The Gold (NYFF 2024): β€˜Nickel Boys’ Is A Breakthrough In Cinematic Immersion | InSession Film Thanks to its cinematography, NICKEL BOYS, is a breakthrough

People are starting to see NICKEL BOYS, one of the best films of the year. Jomo Fray should be a lock for Best Cinematography. What he’s achieving visually and thematically is staggering. My #NYFF62 piece @insessionfilm.bsky.social: insessionfilm.com/chasing-the-...

KRAMER VS. KRAMER: straight up one of the best movies I've ever seen. Its unflinching honesty cracked me open very early on, and the tears just kept coming. Talk about two wildly exceptional performances. An unbelievable Best Picture winner
