Josh Safdie’s MARTY SUPREME brought the house down at Alice Tully Hall. Breathtaking work all around, including and especially from Timothée Chalamet. LOVED. 🏓 #NYFF

Never saw the 2007 Australian croc horror ROGUE before. On Criterion now and it’s pretty awesome.

A busy week+ of watching NYFF films, attending receptions, and moderating various talks on films I love, with artists that inspire me (some of whom have inspired me my whole life). Feeling fortunate and grateful for the work that I get to do…

If you call a movie THE CHORAL, and you cast Ralph Fiennes as the conductor, and you tease St. Matthew Passion (which makes me cry) in it, you’re just cooking a movie in a lab precisely for me, hope you realize. 🎶🎵

I want a last day on a quiet beach before this weather turns. Like Wiborg or Gibson or Egypt. Just one final day of complete shutdown. Hope I can make it happen….🌊

There’s a *lot* to be enraged about, but those recruitment commercials ICE is running—basically telling police officers in sanctuary cities “they’re not allowing you to be cruel enough”—make me want to lose my mind.

You know, men, when you act like a jerk and manspread like this in public transit, your body language gives the exact opposite of the BDE that you are after. We all know you are compensating for something.

Few things made me hate our current cultural moment and priorities more than that Taylor Swift thingy stealing the screens that should belong to OBAA. (Everyone, especially men, this isn’t your opportunity to “educate” me on box office & distribution. Please, sshhhh!!!)

Nothing but respect for MY Supreme Marty. ♥️

Meanwhile I’m changing my prediction. bsky.app/profile/tomi...

Gonna change my guess from Hamnet to Marty Supreme. Reviews are under embargo for this one, and they obviously wouldn’t be for Hamnet.

I say Marty, you say Supreme.

My guess is Hamnet too. (Though press screenings wouldn’t affect Bugonia being at NYFF — these screenings are more for general audiences.)

Now I must see that Marty/Supremes movie that you’ve described pronto. :)

I’m usually on top of these things, but I don’t seem to be this year. Any idea what the NYFF secret screening might be on Monday? Can’t be MARTY SUPREME; I hear that’s still being ✂️. Is it something like HAMNET? BUGONIA…? The new AVATAR? (Okay I know it’s not Avatar.)

US is going around murdering random people without evidence. In international waters. WTF are we doing continuing life as usual?

U.S. Military Attacked Boat Off Venezuela, Killing Four Men, Hegseth Says It was the fourth strike in the Trump administration’s legally disputed campaign targeting suspected drug runners in the Caribbean Sea.

Breaking News: The U.S. struck another boat in the Caribbean, the U.S. defense secretary said, killing four men he accused of drug running, without offering evidence. He said he directed the strike on President Trump’s orders.

I’ve always liked him. But now I love him? 🥹

TFW you realize people are way too stupid to make a logical argument for you to even respond.

The stupidest Bluesky thing is the fact that you still cannot copy/paste an online image w/o making it look like a stupid link. They’re great at banning random accounts but they sadly still haven’t figured out how social media works.

Watching THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS as it’s horror season. Love the opening of Clarice jogging, sharing the elevator with tall dudes, trying to look all tough…. But then she has these tiny little pearl earrings, a small way she holds onto her femininity. Brilliant detail by Colleen Atwood.

Second time watching Jafar Panahi’s IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT, and still a knockout. It hits even harder on a repeat watch. Stunner… #NYFF

A shame that today is the last day you can see Dead of Winter in most theaters. Great jump scares and a suitably menacing score. Judy Greer should play more villains. Thanks @tomilaffly.bsky.social for banging the drum on this one!

This was always the plan.

Project 2025 was Donald Trump's blueprint to seize unchecked power within the federal government and restrict Americans' freedoms. And he is implementing it right in front of our eyes.

But he swears, he doesn’t know a thing about Project 25.

(July 2024 vs. today.)

Americans blow my mind every single day about this. Care just a little more, and show a tiny bit more respect, why don’t you.

The absolute rudest thing you can do while introducing someone publicly is not asking that person how to pronounce their name beforehand. You still might not get it exactly right if it’s in a language unfamiliar to you, but make the effort. It’s honestly the least you can do.

Just watched a video of JDVance getting heckled & booed while walking through DC’s Union Station and man… probably the most satisfying thing I saw in a while. Imagine being that hated by everybody. 🤣

Two of the things I care about the most—cinema, and planet earth—lost two of their biggest champions so close to one another: Robert Redford, and Jane Goodall.

My heart feels permanently broken these days.

You nailed it.

“AI-generated avatar.”
“ITS creators.”

This is the correct language, and more of this please. It is not an actress. It is not a she.

The most inexplicable thing to me is the claim that Rebecca’s very fair profile was a “hit piece” when it honestly and not-at-all disrespectfully portrayed her journey, and current affiliations & political views. The only way you’d think that is a “hit piece” is if you’re embarrassed by its truths.
