Good lord I just looked at Twitter for a literal second and the “discourse” about this is so fucking over the top lol
“Timothée Chalamet single-handedly set Lincoln Center on fire with his SCORN, burn the witch!!!”
I see what you did there

An hour plus of @finalgirlafterdark.bsky.social going deep on Barbara Stanwyck's lesbian bonafides on this week's podcast rescued this entire week from despair

This cropped and watermarked-to-hell first photo of Jake Gyllenhaal and Henry Cavill in Guy Ritchie's IN THE GREY is an act of violence perpetrated specifically upon ME
Had two notes for myself as I wrote up my review of The Bride! -- don't use any variant of the word "mess" and don't use any variant of the phrase "big swing". Both of which have been found literally trampled to death in the gutter this week.
(JFC I just realized There Will Be Blood is actually almost TWO decades old and immediately crumbled to dust)
Ludwig Göransson rules, as does his Sinners score, but it is nevertheless UNMITIGATED BULLSHIT he's about to win a THIRD Oscar over Oscar-less Jonny Greenwood, whose music for One Battle After Another is among his best work after a decade of similarly incredible scores. I won't be getting over this!
Yeah I need to get some new runners soon and I was eyeing those
I have never not once gotten the Harry Styles thing... but gotta admit his Runner's World photoshoot is doing it for me. Never say never, especially when short shorts are still available

Thankful to @ceilidhann.bsky.social for being the reasonable voice in the room about this nonsense since my pro-Timmy-bias is well-known - for real though it was a dumb off-hand joke, one even this ballet-lover typing right now gets. The terminally-online rage at this man is top level foolishness

Good grief THE BRIDE! - in theaters literally today - is already available for 4K pre-order! The madness never quits

When Nell & Chaz @ebertvoices.bsky.social invited me to write something again this year for Women Writers Week, I chose one of Roger Ebert’s favorite character actresses & mine, a woman who’s synonymous with Chicago, the great Joan Cusack! Read it here:

For Talk of the Town, I brought Oscar nominee Wunmi Mosaku, who plays a hoodoo healer in "Sinners," to the Sacred Vibes Apothecary in Flatbush, and we learned what herbs are good for awards-season stress. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...
Are we really living if Joe Wright's ANNA KARENINA still hasn't gotten a glorious 4K restoration and IMAX re-release
