I wrote an essay for this set, so I spent a few months last year diving back into Wes Anderson's entire filmography. And I gotta say, it was downright life-sustaining.

Average day in Istanbul

To the 100s of journalists who follow me here: Masafer Yatta is being ethnically cleansed by the army, we’re organizing an urgent visit on the ground for international media, please write directly for the date and time

I recorded an audio commentary for this strangely magnificent and magnificently strange film. Enjoy.

Jane Altoids Gentleman Doofus Brandon Streussnig Brian Haley Christian Bale should get to play Gorr on stage for the rest of his life like Kilmer did with Mark Twain.

three days after I got this assigned (about a musician I love, done by a writer I admire), I experienced a sudden, unexpected, and very close death in my life, so having this piece to work on was kind of like having a grief guide to hang out with :) vulture.com/article/ben-kw…

If only there was a podcast where Bilge Ebiri talked about The Rock. Oh wait there is! pod.link/1658664345/epi…

"I like that people can be inspired to make their own things that way. I'm not imitating me. So sometimes I feel a bit like I get put on the defensive because I am not a meme. I am myself. I'm the actual me. I'm not an AI." I interviewed Wes Anderson!! inverse.com/entertainment/…

Stunt Pro Yvette Ferguson came out of retirement to be set on fire in Final Destination: Bloodlines. Now she’s gunning for a Guinness World Record as the oldest woman to be set on fire on screen. Of course I had to talk to her about it. womenshealthmag.com/life/a64929795…

CONBODY VS. EVERYBODY is incredible. Debra Granik has been working on this monumental piece of filmmaking for *years.* Let’s hope the world can see it soon.
