Director Curry Barker covers so much of Inde Navarrette's performance w/ her face not visible, emphasizing loss of self. He also lets scenes play out in long shots, an endorsement of his cast. Solid, surprisingly emotionally resonant filmmaking. #FilmSky31 Aug 2026 04:23 +0000at://did:plc:fcunj3ev555ynms64hskfuiw/app.bsky.feed.post/3mue2px6bkk2mhttps://bsky.app/profile/willmckinley.bsky.social/post/3mudrs5kq3k2dJoan Blondell ate and left no crumbs. #BOTD #FilmSky31 Aug 2026 01:44 +0000at://did:plc:fcunj3ev555ynms64hskfuiw/app.bsky.feed.post/3mudrs5kq3k2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/willmckinley.bsky.social/post/3mube2etmzs2cPreston Sturges' SULLIVAN’S TRAVELS (1941) is on Criterion Channel for his birthday. It's the only one of his films I can find on subscription streaming, which is absurd for one of the most important and influential writer/directors in film history. #FilmSky #BOTD30 Aug 2026 02:32 +0000at://did:plc:fcunj3ev555ynms64hskfuiw/app.bsky.feed.post/3mube2etmzs2chttps://bsky.app/profile/willmckinley.bsky.social/post/3mub5t35gak25Another film starring iconic animated characters owned by Warner Bros. is coming to theaters this week — and it's also not distributed by WB.

I understand why Zaslav tried to kill it; it’s an indictment of the model that makes men like him rich. So many familiar characters, all deployed like the 1930s WB stock company.

His choice: COYOTE VS. ACME. #FilmSky28 Aug 2026 22:05 +0000at://did:plc:fcunj3ev555ynms64hskfuiw/app.bsky.feed.post/3mu6en7yabk2fhttps://bsky.app/profile/willmckinley.bsky.social/post/3mu5mak2aek25STEEL MAGNOLIAS is nearly sold out on Sat at AMC 42nd St + BEST LITTLE WHOREHOUSE is close to it today. Looks like AMC underestimated the love for Dolly Parton. They need to add more screens in NYC (and you need to buy tix in advance if these films are playing in your city). #FilmSky [contains quote post or other embedded content]28 Aug 2026 14:48 +0000at://did:plc:fcunj3ev555ynms64hskfuiw/app.bsky.feed.post/3mu5mak2aek25https://bsky.app/profile/willmckinley.bsky.social/post/3mu3rp67p7s2lFarewell to Peter Cullen (1941-2026).
