New Jersey had TEN YEARS to prepare for congestion tolls. TEN YEARS to upgrade public transit and help New Jerseyans to get into the city.

You have been nothing but absolutely vile on this topic. You have expressed nothing but whining and complaining and self-righteousness.

Literally how dare you

in what meaningful way can we say that the constitution is in effect when an unelected and unaccountable billionaire is wielding state power to unilaterally cancel congressional appropriations?

My first and definitely last time working with the Los Angeles Times. Editing out the most urgent point of an OpEd in the minutes before sending to press while then also assigning a title and image that suggest an argument entirely opposite to the author’s clear intent is pretty shitty.

As someone who had to live there for half a year to do a project, I can attest to what you’re saying. Right under the surface there is a lot that needs to change.

A critique that people often lobby against art is that they “didn’t get it.” I think this really speaks to the current stage of media literacy in our culture. It’s not a requirement of art that you get it. How did it make you feel? Maybe you could understand if you thought about it more

Keep thinking about how David Zaslav can't figure out a way to make money off of superheroes, Bugs Bunny, and Sesame Street

Some frame grabs from a spot I shot for Marriott’s: The Luxury Collection at The Gritti Palace in Venice.

Shooting in Venice required quite the logistics. Hauling a 5 ton G&E package by boat. That was a first.

My latkes bring all the goys to the yard
And they’re like, “girl blow a shofar”
Damn right, I'll blow a shofar
I can teach you but it's kinda hard

people who get paid to write about movies and tv shows - if you don't know how something was done, don't just guess and present the guess as fact

Watched THE SUBSTANCE again, this time for family movie night (the joys of having an older teenager!) Liked it even more. A hilarious, profound meditation on why you should carefully follow the instructions provided for your new medication

this feels like it's gonna be the best picture lineup.

not terrible, but also some truly unprecedented potential for the academy to pick absolute dog shit over an obvious new american masterpiece.

Few is more than a couple! Let’s call it 4. Nap time and bed time were clutch.

After cramming in 15 films in the last few days, I just submitted my National Board of Review ballot. Quite curious to see how it’ll all shake out.

THE SUBSTANCE is a dark comedy.

Big day of watching some remaining films before getting in my ballot for the National Board of Review. Time to nerd out.

We run a tight ship in my house with my two girls. But every now and then ya gotta say screw it, 11am pizza.

Big Sunday vibes today.

ANORA was surprisingly very funny. It feels like the most balanced version of Sean Baker’s aesthetic and storytelling style. The script was always crackling and the human interactions felt so visceral and of the moment. Quite amazing how alive he can make everything feel. Deserves all the praise.

The cinematography in this was absolutely stunning. Some of the frames knocked me out. Particularly taken by the restraint shown throughout, primarily subtle and then BAM, a total banger that takes your breath away. All supporting the story. Oscar worthy all around.

Hey Sean, cinematographer here, have had shorts in competition at Cannes, SXSW, Telluride and Camerimage. Cheers

Petition to start a C-Span broadcast of the Thanksgiving Parade. This network coverage makes me want to jam an ice pick through my skull.

Yes man I totally agree. He is downright incredible in this.

First time lifting after a bout of stomach flu last week, graciously given to me by my one year old, and hooboy did I feel weak. Crazy what a couple days sick can do. Anyone with kids still managing to keep in shape are putting in some serious work.

Wearing A Salmon On Your Head Is Back In Fashion For Orcas, After A 37-Year Break In 1987, there was a strange trend amongst killer whales. Recent sightings show it's back in fashion.

Orcas have started wearing dead salmon as hats again, just fyi

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, then Friday brings Holdovers SZN. What are you doing to look and feel like this?

Everything I know about the Wicked movie I’ve learned against my will

For those going home to visit family this weekend:

• Samsung calls it Auto Motion Plus
• LG calls it TruMotion
• Sony calls it Motionflow
• Roku calls it Action Smoothing
• Google TV calls it Motion Enhancement
• Vizio calls it Smooth Motion Effect.

As someone who just adored the 3.5 hour THE BRUTALIST, with a built in intermission, I agree with this take wholeheartedly.
