My review @film4ward of DIDI, Sean Wang’s impressive Sundance award-winning feature debut, a semi-autobiographical coming-of-age story that vividly captures online life circa 2008. It's out today from @FocusFeatures. https://t.co/j8S5KjW2yW

My review @film4ward of ENO, Gary Hustwit’s great documentary about the legendary musician/producer Brian Eno, which is different every time it's screened, creating a unique viewing experience each time. It opens today @FilmForumNYC. https://t.co/JogrIBhh5p

My review @film4ward of Ryusuke Hamaguchi’s great, haunting, unsettling new film EVIL DOES NOT EXIST, released by @asideshowfilm and opening today @FilmLinc and @FilmForumNYC: https://t.co/Pq3W0S2Pul

"Alexandre O. Philippe’s essay film Lynch/Oz...looks to Victor Fleming’s 1939 classic The Wizard of Oz as a key to at least partially illuminating the elusive inspirations for Lynch’s celebrated body of work."

Here's my appreciation @InRO's @kickingthecanon of Tina Turner's biggest hit album, 1984's PRIVATE DANCER. https://t.co/41RsUOrEYc

On the occasion of the passing of rock and soul icon Tina Turner, here's my review @InRO of Dan Lindsay and T. J. Martin's moving, celebratory 2021 HBO biographical documentary TINA. https://t.co/NSueEepurG

Here's my review @InRO of @NYAFF's opening night film, the winning Thai rom-com/sports movie FAST AND FEEL LOVE. It's about a rather eccentric sport, competitive speed cup stacking, which I didn't realize was a thing before seeing this film. https://t.co/D5sGGlQNK6 #NYAFF2022

[Christopher Bourne @bournecinema]

Here's my review @InRO of MAMA BOY, Arvin Chen's utterly charming and sweetly poignant romantic comedy, which screened last weekend @NYAFF. https://t.co/RdnZV5gqim #NYAFF #NYAFF2022

[Christopher Bourne @bournecinema]

Here's my #Tribeca2022 review @InRO of LYNCH/OZ, Alexandre O. Philippe's not entirely successful cinema essay film drawing parallels between THE WIZARD OF OZ and the oeuvre of David Lynch: https://t.co/hjIO01l0Dc

One of the better Wordle knockoffs, this one's music-themed, a variation on Name That Tune. Got this one within 1 second. Free hint: today's song was a 90s hit.

@mattzollerseitz W. Kamau Bell's doc WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT COSBY, currently screening at Sundance, perfectly articulates this issue. Cosby is a rapist monster who also did some genuine good, especially for Black folks, with much of his work.

Personal best so far. Got it in 3!

Here's my review @InRO of Reinaldo Marcus Green's KING RICHARD, the origin story of Venus and Serena Williams told from the POV of their dad. It's Oscar bait, but also well-crafted+moving. Will Smith is good, but don't sleep on Aunjanue Ellis as the mom. https://t.co/xrF56Tprn6

I'm keeping a running log of things I've seen, read, and (beginning in September) listened to, updated monthly. I've been sharing this list on Facebook, but I'll start sharing it here as well. It's screenshotted below from my phone. Asterisked entries are particular favorites.
