Happy Mother's Day to Janice Burgess, award-winning creator of the wonderful BACKYARDIGANS. I don't know whether Ms. Burgess has children of her own, but she very clearly helped raised a whole lotta y'all's kids with this most fantastic show, so. a salute to her 💐

BLACK PANTHER is PEAK double consciousness. It’s a Marvel movie, sure. And a blockbuster, absolutely, covers those bases and covers them well. But a film that features that vegetarian bit? Or Kilmonger’s last line? Ryan’s made two movies at once. And he crushed them both 🙌🏿.

I’ve been better about keepin my mouf shut on this here platform BUT it is so clearly Elizabeth Warren. I’ve seen enough. And the idea that Buttigieg could have come out ahead of her in ANYTHING at this point says sooooooooo much about US, about where we are right now.

You can’t just blithely refer to Haiti as a “failed state” and NOT report how governments on both sides of the Atlantic ACTIVELY played and CONTINUE TO PLAY a role in bringing about that failure. It’s the internet. You have the real estate. Full. STOP.

CALL ME BY YOUR NAME — sweetness without a trace of sentimentality; a work made without fear of sentimentality. Sweetness beside sex. Sex that transmutes love. An intellectually rigorous examination that never loses warmth. Earnest, mature and endearing the whole way through.

THEY CLONED TYRONE is… SOOOOOOO damn good! 🤯. Like a modern day SPOOK WHO SAT BY THE DOOR with shades of EDGE OF TOMORROW and PLAYERS CLUB in the visual style of PEAK John McTiernan. And it’s just sitting there… on Netflix… getting a fraction of the flowers it deserves 🫠.

True story — we made these lines up in the moment. The scripted scene ended with with Juan finishing the story quoting Abuela. We all three realized the conversation needed to go further. Alex asked the question, “So yo’ name Blue?— and that created the space for Juan’s answer 🙏🏿.

Last thing: Mark Ruffalo is a TREMENDOUS FUCKING ACTOR. Full stop. Wonderful voice-work here; the computer whizzes do what they do & augment the expressions but what he does with his VOICE is some of the absolute finest work. My endless respect to that cat #AvengersEndgame.

EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE is an absolute BLAST — a loud, craven, Evel Knievel thrill-ride of a movie with a BIG ASS HEART. The @Daniels have taken a generation’s love of ALL KINDS of cinema and folded it into the multiverse family saga we’ve all sorely needed. A THREAD👇🏿.

BLACK PANTHER: WAKANDA FOREVER . A thread 👇🏿. I don’t know how Ryan did this. Given everything, I’m speechless at how he (and his collaborators) did this. Thoughtful. Even more thoughtful than one would hope it would be given. EVERYTHING. Impossible. An impossible task.

In other news, the woman next to me is watching NOTTING HILL. A few choice folks will get the irony of this happening on my last flight of this sojourn. Also. Julia Roberts is STUNNING in this film. And holy shit Lester Freamon is in this?!.

Creating and working on a piece this heavy, in theme and scope. And then talking about it — reliving it constantly — it can trap you in a dark, heavy space. Depressive. It’s been a long few months, but. then you’re sent this. Randomly. And you realize. it’s worth it 🥺💜

Also, the Russo Bros are so fundamentally sound in the way they communicate spatial relationships between characters during set-pieces. It’s what truly separates their work on this scale from most others’. It’s truly jaw-dropping how grounded the audience is at all time.

Yeah, ROMA is fucking glorious. So wonderful to see an artist operating at peak performance level on such a personal, vigorous piece. The aesthetic is both personal and political here. The aesthetic is wielded to a wonderfully emotive, devastating effect.
