This is as much a piece about how the industry kind of sucks now as much as it is about this one guy, who seems both uniquely energetic and a lot like most people I know in L.A.

Matt called me to ask if I had any thoughts on this, and it may be the first time in the past 25 years where an obscure Sopranos detail came up and I just shrugged and moved on with my day.

As an editor I find this "lol I have no memory at all of why we did it like that" deeply relatable. Great piece by @mattzollerseitz.bsky.social

People generally are unaware that suspicion of a conspiracy began immediately after the events of November 1963 and continued to accelerate over the next several years, with a string of assassinations and attempted assassination. Even in hindsight it seems borderline absurd in its awfulness.

Remember that odd transition in the Season 5 Sopranos episode "Cold Cuts" where it goes into slow-motion, then freeze-frames, then does a wipe to the next scene? I have completed my investigation. Somebody alert Reddit!

Floored by this upon first watch recently. When I was growing up in the 90s, the JFK conspiracy people were presented to me as something like a niche community of Reddit kooks. But THE PARALLAX VIEW reveals a wider spread to suspicion in the decade immediately following the assassination.

Blast from the past: Here’s a video essay I did with Kevin B. Lee and Dave Bunting on Born on the Fourth of July. My favorite Oliver Stone film – perfect movie, in my opinion.

Andrew gave my film #BURNINGANNIE the first major rave of its film festival run, calling it “easily the most entertaining film in competition” at 2003’s Hamptons International Film Festival. Will always be grateful. 🙏🏽

Alan J Pakula directed 3 of the best films from the 70's. This, "Klute" and "All The President's Men". He had a way of undermining what audience believed to be safe and true. Brilliant and disturbing! Plus, this sounds like a great event...

The personal photos of Brazilian children are being used to create powerful AI tools without the children’s knowledge or consent. Children shouldn't have to live in fear that their photos might be stolen and weaponized against them.
