Action junkies! As part of the @bigbadfilmfest action extravaganza, I’ll be interviewing director Mark Lester (COMMANDO, FIRESTARTER) after a screening of his berseker buddy cop flick SHOWDOWN IN LITTLE TOKYO on August 23. Get your tix in the QT below:

CATS OUT OF THE BAG!!!! Come to @bigbadfilmfest and watch UNDER FIRE with Me, @stevencmiller, Simon Rhee, and Mason Gooding!

Funniest scene of the year is a tough call until you remember that HUNDREDS OF BEAVERS exists

I profiled rap legend Nas for my @FinancialTimes debut. This will also be appearing in this Saturday's print edition, should you want to pick up a copy ft.com/content/1e1af6…

Really great bit

I love embargo release day because everyone sounds like they're auditioning to be quoted on the poster.

Not a "good attitude," but I haven't been able to watch Marvel since ENDGAME. That one was fine enough—I was 13 when IRON MAN came out, it felt climactic—but it's felt like they've been spraying everyone down with a firehose of TV and film since, just can't find the energy!

Please allow Neil Marshall to finally set this debate to rest: "there is only one real ending" to THE DESCENT

Really good interview

That there are two versions of The Descent has long fascinated horror fans. @isaacfeldberg talks with writer-director Neil Marshall about which ending to his claustrophobic creature feature he prefers. Read more ➡️ boxd.it/2CO

Your Being Manipulated: on Ari Aster’s EDDINGTON, a shitpost-the-legend Western begging to be read in bad faith, for @ringer theringer.com/2025/07/17/mov…

Ratel, the two of us need look no more: On Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s stealth buddy comedy CLOUD, for @newrepublic newrepublic.com/article/198033…

Rare for me to be as unsettled by a film as I was by NOCTURAMA, Bertrand Bonello’s uncanny abstraction of youth in empty, self-destructive revolt against a consumerist culture that’s hollowed them out ideologically and limited them to futile, rhetorical means of expression.

The two funniest movies of the year are the Shrouds and Eddington

Films that influenced Ari Aster's EDDINGTON: - THE LAST PICTURE SHOW - NASHVILLE - JFK - UNFORGIVEN - FAT CITY - JOE - WILD BUNCH - STRAW DOGS - MY DARLING CLEMENTINE - ROBOCOP - SHADOW OF A DOUBT - MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY VALANCE - BALLAD OF NARAYAMA (letterboxd.com/journal/edding…)

I spoke with Ari Aster about how screwed we all are, and other topics related to EDDINGTON, his immense and diabolical Western of modern American psychosis. So grateful to @letterboxd for trusting me with this one; a wide-ranging conversation for a film that demands one.

New Yorkers! i recommend the Lithuanian film DROWNING DRY, which opens today: sort of a New Yorker story done in the foreboding master-shot Euro arthouse style, as i limn (limn?) for @ScreenSlate: screenslate.com/articles/drown…
