So excited to announce my next book, POPCORN DISABILITIES, hits shelves November 13th! This was a labor of love that I hope makes people look closer at the movies they love. Preorders are available now through the @Bloomsbury website. bloomsbury.com/us/popcorn-dis…
Last update for the day. Bad news, we didn't hit $4,000 but we did hit $3500 so I'll take it as a win. I expected a bit of a slowdown as we head into the weekend so not discouraged. Please continue to share and widen the network. I feel this goal might be achievable!!
And we're back with Operation Hit $4,000 on my GoFundMe (and I found new gifts to give people). gofundme.com/f/help-elliott…
The amazing Emily Edwards wrote this piece inspired by us talking about what it means to have Joe Eszterhas and Johnny D**p coming back? Now live at TFM via the link in bio. tinyurl.com/4ux68nvt
If you love cats, quality journalism AND you like supporting underrepresented voices, Kristen could do with some help. Our specialist sector of the profession is being strangled (and the industry doesn't seem to care... until they need us) so here we are. Can YOU help?

One LA donor can take home a Norma Shearer poster. Share or donate if you can. #tcmparty

The Film Maven got linked in The @NewYorker!!! (The "arts" link, if you're curious.) If this is as close as I come I can die happy. You should also read Richard Brody's fantastic piece on the New York Times critic layoffs.
Last update for the day. We're closing in on $3,000 & I am so freaking shocked. I was convinced the world was bad and I'd be gray(er) when I paid this off. I can't believe it. Still a ways from the end but so heartened. Please keep sharing and donating!!
Kicking off day 3 of "Help Kristen Stave Off Bankruptcy Cause She Loves Her Cat." Trying to raise $8200 to pay off Elliott Stabler's vet bills and we're closing in on $2500. gofundme.com/f/help-elliott…
One of my favorite movies of the year drops next week and the studio has done VERY little to promote it for reasons I'm not 100% clear on. Either way, look for my review next week when the embargo lifts.
Been holding this one back but bringing it out. One LA local that donates $150 will take home this framed Norma Shearer poster. #tcmparty

Bookstore/author and movie theater friends: Seeking suggestions of great bookstores on the West Coast that might be willing to host an event or book signing for Popcorn Disabilities? Also local movie theaters open to hosting screenings and book events!
