Edgar Wright’s Last night in Soho was the most joyous experience I had at the movies in 2021. The intriguing plot, the vibrant color palette, Swingin’ London’s depiction, Diana Rigg’s farewell, the soundtrack (“Downtown” is one of my favorite songs), the cinephile references…

The world is watching Columbia University and the administration’s shameful decision to call the NYPD on its own student body.

Suppressing free speech and student protest will not address antisemitism or make us safer.

Last week I did something dope. After 2 years of working on it, I published a short doc on pianist and singer Hazel Scott. Really proud of this piece and ecstatic that I could honor someone who should be more well known- npr.org/2024/04/09/124…

I know I said that we as a culture have gotten too comfortable with causing people to lose their jobs but this statement, in the face of the ongoing criticisms amid an ever-worsening humanitarian crisis, is certainly a thing that should invite scrutiny.

When we speak of the undersung heroes behind the scenes of history, we speak of Jo Ann Robinson. Yesterday was her birthday. If you've seen Eyes on the Prize, you've seen her speak. She moved to Los Angeles and taught school in LAUSD until she retired.

Thanks to Richard Brody for this insightful piece on the newly restored pre-code cut of Frank Borzage's masterpiece MAN'S CASTLE. Daily at MoMA Film through Wednesday, April 24.

My point is that this is wh Black journalists are important.. I don’t know if I could have roamed & made ppl feel comfortable enough to talk to me if I was white.

But I didn’t do this, a bunch of brave Black women did this.

Seeing a dress Olivia de Havilland wore in THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD (1938), along with the Korngold score, was so moving to me. One of my most favorite movies. Club TCM at the Hollywood Roosevelt. #TCMFF

Got the chance to meet Cora Sue Collins at the pre-party for the @TCM film festival! She appeared in such films as Queen Christina, The Scarlet Letter, Smilin’ Through, and The Sin of Nora Moran, and she’ll turn 97 on April 19th. She’s a sweetheart. #TCMFF

Conversation heard on CNN this morning between Reporter & Rep. Jared Moskowitz:

Reporter: “What’s going on with Marjorie Taylor Greene?”

Rep.M: “There aren’t enough psychologists in the world to explain what’s going on with Marjorie Taylor Greene.”

Marjorie Taylor Greene: I can't imagine any Americans supporting white supremacists or Nazis, I certainly do not

Maxwell Alejandro Frost: It’s interesting to hear my colleague talk about disavowing white supremacists when in 2022, she spoke at an event led by white supremacists. When…
