Don’t remember if I thought she was any good or not but I had a HUGE crush on her in the 90s. Carlito’s Way! The Relic!
For my @ebertvoices.bsky.social debut, I wrote about THE SECRET AGENT, the humanities, and memory as both acts of resistance and love. This movie is very dear to me, and I'm glad to be an enthusiastic champion of it as part of Women's Writers Week!

Rewatched this one last night!
I contributed an essay for this Blu-ray. One of my favorite films of the decade.
Castration Movie 2 is hands down one of the best films I’ve seen in my life, so supporting Part 3 means being part of cinematic history. Louise is amazing and her art is astonishing
the hottest oscars discourse comes from me and kambole this friday afternoon, writing about a bunch of animated shorts that were eligible but, heartbreakingly, did not score nominations this year.
Richard Fleischer my dang goat
Doesn’t help that every current prestige show basically sucks now lol

Oh I don’t watch the whole movie ever, I play them and check the trailer order, make sure the various automation cues work, and check image/sound but I never get to see more than 5 - 10 minutes of any given movie
just checking in on you, making sure everything is cool
Oh I’m sure my kids will love it
testing the new openings at work and Hoppers is really just straight up Avatar? They got humans plugging in and piloting these critters in the first 2 minutes lol

Various staging ideas for this Safe In Hell (1931) publicity portrait of Dorothy Mackaill #BOTD, from the film’s pressbook (Wednesday mood calls for all five versions):
Scorsese has always been captivated by what can be expected of a person, and how a person may or may not live up to a personal moral code. It is dialectic that runs throughout the entirety of his work. Scorsese made a few films prior to Mean Streets in 1973, but the course was set for him ever since Harvey Keitel’s gangster character in that film got on his knees and prayed for guidance. Scorsese seems to always come back to the question of whether or not a man can ever truly be good, and he has wavered back and forth with his answer. Jake LaMotta punched his way into an animalistic state in Raging Bull (1980) in pursuit of it, Christ nearly failed when he was given the task of weighing our qualities against his crucifixion in The Last Temptation of Christ, and we are shown to be merciless and not worthy of such a sacrifice in Killers of the Flower Moon’s portrait of aboriginal genocide within an American community. Scorsese is probably American cinema’s greatest chronicler of the post-world war II era, and he has remained vital because his questions have remained personal, even when they’ve become maximalist in his final years, and he has begun to grapple with centuries of violence. I don’t believe he has much faith in the collective body of mankind, but I think a hope remains in his films that one man can do one good thing on any given day, and that it can matter a great deal to put in the effort to try. In his adaptation of “Silence” there are many examples of this happening, and they are among some of the most moving and profound moments in the picture. He finds God in hopeless places, between men clasping each others palms, in acts of mercy, and in the sacrifice of identity for the sake of another person’s safety.

I wrote about Martin Scorsese's SILENCE for my readers choice series and wrestled with its many questions of faith.
