If you're a Harlem resident who wants to have a say in public groceries and imagining the best they can do for community, go to this Listening Session tonight. I went to the first one and it was illuminating.
Also, there's food. Pack your own container.

This is what bringing your Tupperware to a film set might bring you.
Into the freezer first it goes for food safety reasons. I can save on groceries.
I got booked for a background role on REDACTED. Bringing my Tupperware to hopefully bring home some catering. An extra paycheck and groceries supplement are nice.

It would be a small amount, but #ForgottenIsland is still screening in some areas.
This is around Texas for Halloween.

My Nextdoor timeline, attuned to my Texas neighbor, has not deleted my #Wildwood rec post and some Texans have noticed it.
72
I do my civic duty on the Nextdoor Texas app, trying to spread the word of #Wildwood and hoping said post is acceptable for the timelime.
And sometimes one person does notice. We talk about getting word out and sometimes the underserve spots matter to one person.

It escaped my radar or memory that Mischief Theatre’s Henry Lewis and Jonathan Sayer are in Marvel’s #VisionQuest.
I was scrolling through TikTok and I see what I THOUGHT was a SHOW GOES WRONG… segment.
Can I use this to beg the @BBCOne for season 3 of THE GOES WRONG SHOW?

While we’re rightfully discussing the Wyoming-based transgender ragebait mailers targeting ignorant Texans, please pay attention to these kind of election-themed text surveys inflaming transphobia and xenophobia by making you rank “concerns” without an opt-out.
New: OutYouth, an LGBTQ+ youth program in Austin, says it's briefly closing for safety reasons because it was mentioned in the fake trans resource guide pamphlets that went out this week across Texas chron.com/culture/article/te…

“Aldo, how can I manage a conclave? I …-
*checks the Robert Harris novel*
I was an object of desire for men and women alike. I will lead it to catastrophe.”
ken russell’s the devils is actually a parable: if you allow a man to think he’s hot, the resulting intrigue and perversion will become unmanageable with shocking rapidity.

When I watched #Wildwood, my brain reminded me that lower-than-PG13 western animation has already been gritty (they just been underserved by marketing).
Still, the density of don’t-avert-your-eyes violence & corpses in WILDWOOD felt unprecedented on the cinematic screen.
I missed a small, but unknown, amount of minutes when watching Laika's #Wildwood last night, due to factors including Texas being car-dependent...
EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY, I will no longer plot assasination with stone & slingshot.
I shall assassinate with a dagger instead.

The Edward Berger-Robert Harris CONCLAVE characters watching Ken Russell’s #TheDevils like this.
So Pope Innocent decided to hold a Halloween screening to intellectually engage Catholic-history-related cinema and all the cardinals dared to go…
“The restoration of the material is like cleaning the Sistine Chapel with saliva. I’ve never seen the movie until I saw this restoration.” Guillermo del Toro
Over 164,472 frames of 35mm film were restored to bring to life KEN RUSSELL'S THE DEVILS. Premiering today at @tiff_net.

To really track the danger of those, Texans just have to check their Nextdoor app to see the transphobia coming out of conservative and liberals over obvious bait.
I’m on my ND, posting and replying with countermeasures.
It's painfully obvious to anyone who knows anything this is a psyop.
But that doesn't matter. What matters is that this might convince just enough people to go vote Republican. Which is all they care about. It's rage bait.
33
If you’re a Texan monitoring the local reach of those ragebait mailers guide, check your Nextdoor app. See how they bring out the transphobia in conservatives and liberals.
A MAGA group deceptively sent out mailers & text messages pretending to be a trans group telling children how they can leave their parents and transition behind their back. These were mailed all over Texas. 🧵

To League City, Texas voters too,
Vote NO on Flock surveillance
As beautiful as Talarico winning would be, Hinojosa pulling through would be absolutely Earth shattering and I hope more than anything the R over samples continue and we have a strong performance on our end, she’s winning I’s & Latinos but nice margins.

On my Texas Nextdoor app daring my Texan neighbors to see #Digger.
The trick isn’t to outright start with “Go see it…” the first trick is to “Oh, I’m just asking my neighbors QUESTIONS” so some may be compelled to engage, and by then some might be curious.
I found #Digger to be an almost “good” movie.
And yet, I found myself telling at least one part-time co-worker, “I DARE you to go see DIGGER in theaters. Love it or hate it, you have to see it to believe it. It will be an experience.”

I do not want to simplify Osamu Tezuka, but I will note at least two of his BLACK JACK stories deal with revenge narratives on American soldiers who massacred the Vietnamese. And at least one ASTRO BOY story.
Vietnamese orphans: “You must not save [the American murderer].”
Osamu Tezuka, el verdadero creador del anime y el manga mandado un mensaje de apoyo a Vietcong para expulsar a Estados Unidos, 1967.

Shout out to my memory of seeing Major Curda as Romeo in the NAATCO Hansol Jung's interpretation of ROMEO & JULIET.
He was my first onstage Romeo, the way he carried that guitar with that dreamy gaze. Little did I know he would be a part of the AVATARverse.

Jae is go-with-the-flow, as long as the flow has an established schedule and rules. Meet the airbender voiced by Major Curda in Avatar: Seven Havens, streaming TOMORROW on #ParamountPlus!

The Coen Brothers are an ideal pair to adapt #DeadOutlaw, the stage musical about the real-life adventures of Elmer McCurdy’s corpse, into a film.
Joel and Ethan Coen confirm they will be reuniting on a new film “soon”
"We're getting old. It better be the near future”
Their last film was “The Ballad of Buster Scruggs,” released over eight years ago.

I have a few takes.
- Marketing presentation is worth critiquing
- Movies deserve to be fully SEEN before appraised
- Animated productions like this don’t deserve knee-jerk vitriol, which tends to target animation!
- Y’all haven’t watched THE UGLY STEPSISTER and it shows.
Ali Wong, Amanda Seyfried, and Stephanie Hsu star in a Cinderella story gone wrong.
STEPS premieres November 20! Also starring Nikki Glaser, Daniel Radcliffe, Young Mazino, with Peter Dinklage, and Bette Midler.

You know, if the Lincoln Center and puppeteers had the means, they would have unleashed the James Ortiz-designed Brontosaurs puppet and FROM THE SKIN OUR TEETH into the public and activated a longer run for the revival.
Look at the people gazing at this Dino!
#NYCC26
I may not be likely able to attend again this month. But if I could, I could afford the discount (on @TDFNYC and perhaps others) to re-watch THE SKIN OF OUR TEETH at Lincoln Center.
I just want to see my Brontosaurus again.

How dare you forget this play, KYOTO!

Maybe the movie is good but we have seen this speech in 1 million movies and TV shows and books already and it's boring.

The play KYOTO did it first.
Big Oil lawyer Donald Pearlman (Stephen Kunken playing a real-life evil person) snidely tells the audience that oil pays for this Lincoln Center play they’re seeing.

About my AMC IMAX experience with this…
So like 5-10 seconds after this frame, I chuckled. My audience chuckled. It seemed we were all puzzled.
20-30 seconds later, I felt “The Shift” in the room. It took a minute to orient my brain to “The Shift.”
Shoutout to the old couple next to me who walked out muttering in disapproval literally 20 seconds before this scene. You have no idea what you missed 💔

AVATAR #SevenHavens is good! Bumpy and a bit of getting there (art direction could be sharper), but it's promising and the heart of it is two sisters syncing up.
Without going into detail, beyond the released batch, there will be an ep that tackles disability with nuance.
