My DISCLOSURE DAY hot take: I think Spielberg directs his stuff with a certain emotional vulnerability that is uncomfortable for certain audiences, which is why people got so riled up over this and wigged out over FABELMANS a few years ago. Nothing here is worth that! Good solid alien movie! It rocks!

my filmmaking takeaway from DISCLOSURE DAY was blast a space with light and let actors perform.
so much of Spielberg's efficiency comes from deep depth of field. you can get 4 shots like this out of one when you're not worried about focus.
now we light less, shoot shallow, and cut it up.

How has Adam Silver not spoken out about NY inability to control their fans? One of his premier players was literally assaulted. David Stern would never stand for this behavior

This isn’t about who deserves redemption; it’s about who deserves political power. And it should concern all of us that compromised influencers and useful idiots alike are trying to force Democrats to embrace blue MAGA.

To everyone so eager to cancel someone for a tattoo they got at age 22, a drunk text, a selfie they took in the middle of a mental health crisis:
Show us your laptop.
Show us your iCloud.
Open your entire digital life to your worst enemy. No context. No filter. No explanation.
You won’t.
You won’t because you know what I know. Any one of us, frozen at our worst moment, photographed in our lowest hour, looks like a monster. Looks like a stranger. Looks like someone who deserves to be cast out.
That is not who we are.
My mom and baby sister were killed in a car accident when I was just a kid. Cancer took my brother Beau, my best friend and my rock. I battled alcoholism. I battled addiction. I chose the coward’s way out more times than I can count.
For years I believed the defining chapters of my life were written by tragedy, loss, and shame.
I no longer believe that.
Pain can shape us. Loss can humble us. Failures can leave scars that never fully fade. But none of them have the authority to define us.
And it sure as hell ain’t the critic that counts.
That authority belongs to us alone-the person in the arena.
Every setback presents a choice. Play the victim, or cut the bullshit and take ownership for who we become next.
Life does not determine our character. It reveals it.
Again and again we are asked the same question. When shit happens, what next?
We are not defined by what happened to us. We are not defined by the worst photo, the worst text, the worst tattoo, the worst night. We are defined by the person we choose to become. And by the courage to choose that person, every single day.
So before you reach for the gavel - show us your laptop.
You won’t.
The whole world saw mine. And I am still here. Still becoming. Still choosing. Still standing.
That is the only definition that matters.

I discussed PERSEPOLIS with @petersuderman and @AlyssaRosenberg this week on the sad news of Marjane Satrapi's death. It's such a good movie—beautiful, sad, angry—and it vexes me when I see how some folks talk about it (and her). movieaisle.substack.com/p/ma…

So so so so good.
This is probably my favourite scenes from Jurassic Park. If the movie was made today this scene probably wouldn’t have made it in and I think that’s a real shame

Inflation is growing worse, and the president is fixated on all the wrong things - building a ballroom, making himself immune from audits, and waging a war he started without a plan to end it.
Where is the Republican plan to make life more affordable in America?

82 years ago today — on D-Day — thousands of soldiers sacrificed their lives on the beaches of Normandy to protect the fundamental freedoms we’ve held dear for nearly 250 years.
May their courage, bravery, and sacrifice inspire us to do the same here at home.

I am impressed!
I was sure Donald Trump would never post anything about pride month. And then he posted this!
Clearly, I was wrong!

An evergreen amusing thing: Quentin Tarantino saying something that deviates from mainstream film twitter opinion only for Gen Letterboxd to go nuts like the apes seeing The Monolith for the first time.
