Nice photo - but neither it nor the one of Pacino can top this.

“[Andrew] Tate’s belief that ‘society functions better as a patriarchy’ is hard to distinguish from the views of Doug Wilson, the pastor invited by Hegseth to preach at the Pentagon, who thinks that women shouldn’t be allowed to vote….Men are people, and women are things.”

I greatly value this thoughtful, evidence-based line-by-line critique by @jeremyfaust.bsky.social of his friend @craigspencer.bsky.social’s MAHA hagiography MAHA is IMHO a hugely destructive anti-vaxx movement whose leaders are dismantling public health insidemedicine.substack.com/p/i-didnt-lo...

Recommend this enjoyable, detailed and geeky (a compliment!) take on Nolan’s “Odyssey” from a historian: “Nolan is simply doing the same thing that the original Odyssey itself, and later ancient Greek artists who interpreted it, did. It’s the Rule of Cool all the way down. ***SPOILERS AHOY!***

I’d like more on, you know, the film that’s on the screen. Interpretations can be interesting, sure, and it’s interesting to read about the movie that some people wish had been made. But at this point I’m glad that a new Spider-Man is about to open….

Happy nominating!

FWIW, my two cents on the, uh, discourse on Nolan’s “Odyssey”: Everyone really is a critic, especially (ducks!) a *movie* critic. I’m just extremely happy that people are going to movies, this one included — over and out!

You do *not* need to write about each movie. You simply need to fill out a super-easy form with the correct title and year for each movie. And you can nominate up to 50 films! www.research.net/r/national-f...

We've been nominating LAUGHING GAS (1907) -- the joyfully anarchic, anti-racist silent film comedy starring Bertha Regustus -- every year! Please cast your vote for LAUGHING GAS! It's included in Cinema's First Nasty Women! 📀 More info below....

No, the error I spotted is in the the list of women filmmakers, which attributes Ida Lupino’s “Outrage” to Elaine May!

Here are some movies I’m going to nominate: bunch of Maya Deren films; Shirley Clarke’s “The Connection”; “Janie’s Janie” by the Newsreel Collective; Elaine May’s “The Heartbreak Kid” & “Mikey and Nicky”; Christine Choy’s “From Spikes to Spindles”; Fronza Woods’s “Killing Time” & “Fannie’s Film”

My kingdom for a fucking edit button!
