Saluting historian Kevin Brownlow, who turns 88 today! If you've never seen the 1980 series, Hollywood: A Celebration of the American Silent Film, written and directed by Brownlow and David Gill, you can pop over to YouTube and treat yourself! It's amazing.
Not an urgent hot take, but the scene in Elaine May’s A New Leaf where Walter Matthau spends several minutes on their wedding night trying to help May put on her “Grecian”-style nightgown correctly is a physical comedy masterclass that more people should rave about.
Beautiful gag in How to Marry a Millionaire (1953) where Marilyn Monroe and Lauren Bacall are fantasizing about marrying a wealthy man and then it cuts to Betty Grable who is just dreaming about a delicious sandwich

The road of return is studded with adventure, discovery, and surprise in these tales of epic quests that draw on one of literature’s most enduring narrative archetypes: the journey back home. These by turns tragic, comic, mythic, and deeply personal tales of wanderers and seekers tap into the fundamental human yearning to find our way back to where we belong.

Every time I see INHERENT VICE I find it increasingly hard to believe that it exists. The film not only gets better with each viewing, it somehow becomes more mysterious.

Evening viewing recommendation? On @criterionchannl, watch CLOCKWATCHERS (1997)! Jill Sprecher’s indie gem stars Parker Posey, Lisa Kudrow, Toni Collette, and Alanna Ubach in a deadpan time capsule of late-90s corporate culture that brilliantly captures the malaise and muzak-set absurdity of life inside the cubicle. https://t.co/ralBM5K96c
