Happy to say that David Fincher: Mind Games will be out in October, with design and graphics by the same team that did the Coen and PTA books. There'll be a very cool announcement soon about the foreword; other information and a pre-order link are below. abramsbooks.com/product/davi…

John Sayles’ terrific MEN WITH GUNS (1998) has barely 150 reviews on Letterboxd; we showed it last night on 35 mm and it’s so gratifying to see that people liked it!

I liked this movie too, good review

The Death of Robin Hood: Michael Sarnoski filters the story of England's favorite outlaw through the historical accuracy and unsparing hyper-violence of a Robert Eggers movie. a grim but rewarding little fable about how legends are born.

The first time I ever talked about a movie in public was for a Grade 12 film class; I chose THE BROTHER FROM ANOTHER PLANET. Tonight I'll be introducing the film (my Twitter handle from day one) and discussing it with John Sayles and Maggie Renzi. tiff.net/events/the-brother-…

Most of the screenings in the series are sold out but I'm told there are tickets for tonight's other movie, BATTLE BEYOND THE STARS -- a true hoot. John will be there, too. tiff.net/events/battle-beyon…

JAWS is my favourite movie and the one I’ve probably seen the most times; no other Spielberg title even comes close. I finally showed it to my kid last summer; big feelings there. Wrote about it here too: theringer.com/2020/06/18/mov…

Aaron Sorkin's images don't just sit there on the screen. They dance. Few filmmakers have ever been imbued with such an innate -- and graceful -- sense of composition and movement; to paraphrase Bresson, they're somehow necessary *and* beautiful.

In order to really appreciate MOLLY'S GAME or THE TRIAL OF THE CHICAGO 7, try watching them with the sound off: the decoupage has its own fast-talking eloquence.

There is a whole documentary breaking down the mastery and effortlessness of Sorkin's craft; I highly recommend you spend your precious, irreplacable, and ultimately finite time on it! youtube.com/watch?v=ezs_qrvN…

Great interview with the man himself about his work and our upcoming retro at @TIFF_NET; like JS I'm super excited to be showing MEN WITH GUNS
"A standalone movie—not part of a series, not part of the Marvel Universe—is a really hard thing to get made now because there are some very good ones made that just don’t get traction and disappear right away."
John Sayles talks with @djmecca about resourceful filmmaking, his next film, writing for James Cameron, favorite recent watches, and working with @brofromanother on his @TIFF_NET retrospective: thefilmstage.com/the-hard-wo…
