So I'm gearing up for this year's New York Film Festival and then following it up with this year's Nashville Film Festival right after, so I'm getting myself in order, and I realize that it has been way too long since I've updated this website. The shame is profound, and I feel it. Here's what I've been up to, in addition to programming the Graveyard Shift and VR sections of the upcoming Nashville Film Festival.
INTERVIEWS:
Joe. Bob. Briggs.
I interviewed Gaspar Noe, and he and A24 sought me out, which will probably go on my business card and is definitely on my resume right next to having been Crispin Glover's photo elf on a few occasions.
Daniel Sloss is just the best.
I got to talk to Nicole Byer, and she was much cooler than I am and you can barely tell how awkward the interview was from this. Editors are our friends.
Patton Oswalt endures and endears.
REVIEWS:
All-time classic 9 TO 5 - one of the greatest films ever made about the American workplace.
MIDSOMMAR. An addendum after the fact: the director's cut is interesting, but the original theatrical cut is superior pretty much across the board.
NIGHT KILLER/NON APRITE QUELLA PORTA 3, or THE NIGHT PORTER ON ELM STREET.
Sensual SciFi nightmares for your soul in Claire Denis' HIGH LIFE.
Why wait for heaven to experience glamour and beauty? DIAMANTINO.
The politically relevant and strangely exciting HAIL, SATAN?
Bad doll, fun movie. ANNABELLE COMES HOME.
Gaspar Noe's CLIMAX, which works as a liminal carbonation of the brain.
KNIFE + HEART, a queer phantasy of murder and texture.
Neil Jordan's GRETA, which I liked a lot.
ANGEL HAS FALLEN. It's hard to try and make a reactionary action film these days.
PODCAST APPEARANCES:
Here's me on NASHVILLE DEMYSTIFIED, talking about Altman's NASHVILLE and my ten favorite Nashville related films.
OTHER STUFF:
A profile on national treasure and musical theatre/horror legend BETTY BUCKLEY.
Central Cinema in Knoxville, the Stardust Drive-In in Watertown, and Chelsea Stardust's SATANIC PANIC.
In which I go on about Once Upon a Time in Hollywood in 35mm and the new 4K restoration of Alien.
A roundtable discussion about issues in the Nashville LGBTQIA+ community.
