Frederick Wiseman showed us the world and its institutions in all their cruelty and humanity. A prolific and essential documentarian, he will be missed.

Rewatching Mitchell Leisen's MIDNIGHT made me realize with greater force just how fradulent it was of ANORA to claim the status of a screwball comedy. The key ingredient (wit) is in fact... key.

As soon as a plot of a movie introduces "a portal", my interest goes 50% down, pretty much automatically.

J. Hoberman on 1960s New York, Protests, Alternative Press, and Sinners

To read a review like this is to feel repaid with interest for every hour I put into this project. I learned things about my own book and cannot thank the writer enough.
I read J. Hoberman's new book, Everything Is Now: The 1960s New York Avant-Garde (@versobooks.bsky.social ) in a state of trancelike enthusiasm; it's among the most original works of nonfiction I've read in a while, a kind of information-art of its own:

The Sixties Come Back to Life in “Everything Is Now.”
J. Hoberman’s teeming history of New York’s avant-garde scene is a fascinating trove of research and a thrilling clamor of voices.

The worst part of the news about Christopher Nolan making a movie of THE ODYSSEY is how utterly unsurprising it is. *Of course* he wouldn't tackle anything less at this point.
