‘Southland Tales’ was right about a lot of things coming to pass: the Rock being a movie star, comedians having an outsized role in politics, and the Strait of Hormuz being a geopolitical lynchpin. vulture.com/article/southlan…

Jeered at Cannes and blanked at the box office, director Richard Kelly's sprawling 2006 sci-fi epic now plays like an almost clairvoyant vision of the 21st century, predicting everything from the Cybertruck to the Strait of Hormuz blockade to the Rock being taken seriously as an actor. 20 years later, Kelly talks about how history caught up with his cult classic—and the “gigantic” new project he's excited to unleash this year. gq.com/story/richard-kelly-s…

Had a great time talking with Nicolas Winding Refn about 4K restorations of the Pusher trilogy (out Friday), evolving aesthetics, and—briefly, abstractly—Her Private Hell ahead of its Cannes premiere: indiewire.com/features/inter…

Self-care tip: listen to Catherine O’Hara saying the word “baby” on Schitt’s Creek.

Rarely consider myself luckier to interview people than I am with Nigel Galt, who spent three years editing Eyes Wide Shut with Stanley Kubrick and answered every question I had about making one of the greatest films ever: thefilmstage.com/that-cut-is…

Quentin Tarantino's "Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair" will be released in theaters nationwide for the first time on December 5. ​Select presentations will be in 70mm and 35mm, while the film will include a never-before-seen 7-minute animated sequence. Tarantino says: “I wrote and directed it as one movie—and I’m so glad to give the fans the chance to see it as one movie. The best way to see 'Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair' is at a movie theater in Glorious 70mm or 35mm. Blood and guts on a big screen in all its glory!" variety.com/2025/film/news/k…
