I lost track of how much time I spent watching documentaries to research this piece, but I think it's safe to say it was in the range of 55 hours. It lands today, on the 60th anniversary of the Kennedy assassination. #JFK60 jfkfacts.substack.com/p/the-…

I know there has been a lot of talk over the years about the #Oscars adding an ensemble acting category. They should do it right now and name the award permanently after #WomenTalking. The cast is that good. #TellurideFilmFestival

Why are the words “no mayo” so often translated as “so much extra mayo”?

In an era where the main impetus for going into the office — or perhaps the *only* real impetus for going into the office — is to use the printer, it seems notable that all printers in the known world are broken.

Closely following the Trump coverage of the past couple days, one thing has persistently come to my mind, with every story I hear: It’s @theharryshearer, as Mike Wallace of “60 Minutes,” saying “This is an affidavit,” in the classic “SNL” sketch about the Minkman Novelty Co.

Great stuff landing at Cinema Detroit.
"Beba" is back! The acclaimed doc from director Rebeca Huntt (pictured) stopped at our fest in April, and is now returning for a weeklong engagement at @Cinema_Detroit. The NYT called it "profound," noting its "stunning cinematography (and) moments of vulnerability." @neonrated

“Fire of Love” is one of the best-reviewed docs of the year, telling the story of a French couple who chased volcanoes around the globe — a searing love triangle. Our pals at @cinemalamont and @Cinema_Detroit have it booked at 530p Sat. and 7:30p Sun. Tix: cinemalamont.com/fire-of-lov…

Amazing piece of filmmaking (and particularly editing) that remains sadly relevant nearly four decades after its release.
Heralded documentary "Who Killed Vincent Chin?" is getting a return national broadcast as part of the commemoration of the 40th anniversary of the Detroiter's death. 10pm tonight -- aka now. bit.ly/3HCG2G1 Story by @juliehinds of @freep. @CAAM @POVdocs @vincentchinlgcy

Two amazing documentaries. Both getting free screenings this week at the Detroit Film Theatre. @POVdocs @DIADetroit @CAAM freep.com/story/entertainmen…

Not sure how I didn’t know about an artsy tennis doc that opens with Sonic Youth and highlights my fave match of all-time, but I didn’t. Next up!
Thrilled to introduce a new column on sports and cinema with an essay by the brilliant @agsims_ on tennis, time, cinema, Serge Daney, and Julien Faraut’s documentary JOHN MCENROE: IN THE REALM OF PERFECTION: reverseshot.org/features/293…
