Overall, this year's festival seemed much more focused on its past than on its present or even its future. https://t.co/IOLFbgejSX

I think all the time about Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor in NICKEL BOYS. Icing that cake. Pulling the excess icing off with her fingers. Such a Southern gesture. She’s so deeply rooted in Hattie’s body—staring right into the camera at Elwood and at us. It’s fearless, Oscar worthy work.

This year’s greatest cinematic achievements offered dramatic changes in perspective, both ascetically and in terms of who gets to be the hero of the story. https://t.co/JImb33ZXmE

Director RaMell Ross’s bold reimagining of Colson Whitehead’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel is both lyrical and urgent. This is a movie worth returning to again and again. https://t.co/cXdpVXVnv0

August Wilson's 1987 play is opened up in ways that that work—and some that don't—in this beautifully acted film adaptation. https://t.co/JMzPIdGTga

I’m leaving this website and setting up shop elsewhere. My apologies for it taking so long.

It’s not a red wave it’s a crime wave.

Sometimes a movie review pan is actually a love letter to its subject. Such is the case in my assessment of a Netflix documentary from a few years back on the titanic Quincy Jones. Rest well, you monumental mother-effer. https://t.co/MP8jOUQYK0

As someone who is by default hostile or dismissive of crypto, I truly appreciate @laurashin pointing out the shortsightedness of this kind of thinking. I’m grateful she took time away from her objective reporting to try to change the mind of myself and people like me.

🇺🇸 Here’s my Time piece. It’s a message for Democrats, liberals, and progressives who are against crypto.

🤝 In it, I explain why crypto aligns with their values. https://t.co/bteal9Je1d

@AJDelgado13 “Saying the exact thing that they all believe is sending the Trump campaign into despair” is very on brand for modern Republicans.

One difference between him and Hitler is that Hitler read books.

I can enjoy and recommend a movie even while sifting through the complicated emotions it invokes about the Catholic Church. My take on CONCLAVE.

[Observer @observer]

Ralph Fiennes is mesmerizing as a cardinal leading the process of choosing a new pope—which plays out like an Agatha Christie locked-room mystery. https://t.co/gw3S8leJQd

This would be a good time to campaign for Walker Buehler’s idea of having a separate award for best rookie pitcher of the year named the Fernando Valenzuela Award. How can we get this going?

Dave Matthews Band is being inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame this weekend, which is another way to remind you of how important it is to vote.

Who do you think Netanyahu wants to be President?

[Oliver Jones @oliverjones]

Using the full force of the US government against his enemies was what got Nixon impeached. It is now central to the Republican platform.

@BillShaikin It’s awards season up here.
