The Lighthouse: Edward Albee meets Samuel Beckett meets EC Comics. With fart jokes! It’s overly fucking precious, but also creepy and mesmerising. I enjoyed it, to a degree.

At my screening, people just started laughing uncomfortably once the credits rolled, because they didn't really know how else to react.

End of an era. Ten years ago, @AFIFEST revolutionized film festival ticketing with free screenings. Students, low-income movie lovers flocked. Now, the festival is back to charging an average of 12 bucks a pop. Just when the cost of living in Los Angeles is turning brutal.

Bookshops are supposed to be places of knowledge and discovery. Most of them are places of ignorance about movies.

A surveillance dystopia is not inevitable — and the way we kept it out of music festivals is a lesson for the future, write @evan_greer and @tmorello https://t.co/9SzfhXROrv

“Morrissey has been increasingly speaking out against England’s liberal-leaning immigration policies, and has expressed his allegiance to For Britain, a far-right political party.”
Why Do Fans Overlook Morrissey’s Racism?
Sometimes I wake up remembering that this year a major studio quietly smothered a topical genre movie executed by some of the industry’s best talent… because the President of the United States made a tweet. And we don’t even talk about it now.

Hey everyone. You might have seen my tweet about cursing out Harvey Weinstein last night. As a rape survivor I’m so furious and sad and frustrated.
Here is a thread about what happened.

In @NylonMag, I wrote about Brad Pitt in AD ASTRA saying he's afraid of being like his dad, Adam Driver in MARRIAGE STORY being accused of being like his dad, and the fear of being a man who's little more than a houseguest in his own life:https://t.co/jK8R6S0iER

At a dinner w/ Mike Leigh this past weekend, & the host asked what Mike thought of the Scorsese kerfufle regarding MCU movies. Mike's response: MCU movies are fine; the problem is that their bankability has made it so only global blockbusters will be made from now on. And: yes!

Ant-Man and the Wasp, because it’s a family-friendly sci-fi caper that scratches an itch studios seemed to lose interest in somewhere around the mid-90s.

Pacino asked Frank Serpico why he fought police corruption & didn’t just take the bribe money & give it to charity & get on with his work:

Love how Coppola and Scorsese are reduced to "someone's grandpa," as though their opinions come from their age and not their artistic taste.

The death of theatrical for anything other than blockbuster tent poles has once again been exaggerated. Summer moviegoing patterns are screwy, but studios and corporations should be wary of leaning too far into streaming. There is a major opening for another minimajor tho.

California Assemblywoman @LorenaSGonzalez has launched a direct attack on press freedoms with her bill.
I’d say she should be ashamed of herself, but knowing her, shame is not a sensation she’s familiar with. https://t.co/WbL5g4Ho0W pic.twitter.com/V8Qj9Idbbp

I'm all for preventing exploitation but what's happening to freelancers in California right now is an absolute horror show. Capping "freelance articles" at twice per month based off some kind of "weekly column" metric? @LorenaSGonzalez has no clue how modern media actually works. https://t.co/a3UiNo7M0w
