I love weekends like this one.
You have an R-rated body horror from DC. A 3-hour documentary that people can’t stop talking about. A tremendous dark fantasy from the wizards at LAIKA. A whimsical romantic fable that’s light and just lovely to experience, and a fun cat-and-mouse thriller featuring the great Helen Mirren.
All different, all Certified Fresh. Good stuff to watch no matter what your vibe is. When we’re complaining about Hollywood and complaining about how nothing feels fresh or unique, let’s remember weekends like this still exist. And let’s get out there to support these films so weekends like this continue to exist in the future.

Remember when BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES injected a little AKIRA DNA into Clayface’s transformation and made it gloriously disturbing? Ron Perlman’s voice work made the whole thing even better, giving the shape-shifting horror a genuinely tragic edge.

Lee Chang-dong's POSSIBLE LOVE, in theaters now, is one of the best films of the year, and you should see it. vulture.com/article/the-best…
Mike Baker the Bike Maker retweeted
'Possible Love' actor Jeon Do-yeon could be the first person from South Korea to be Oscar-nominated for best actress.
Director Lee Chang-dong says, “It is still very rare and difficult for an actor in a non-English-language film to be nominated for an Oscar, [and] I believe her performance, which brings such complex, layered emotions to life, can capture audiences’ hearts across language barriers. Proper recognition from the Academy…would be both a recognition of one actress’s achievement and tangible evidence of the change the Academy is striving for.”

On Aug. 6, 1972, legendary filmmaker William Greaves invited roughly two dozen Harlem Renaissance luminaries to Duke Ellington’s apartment on Riverside Drive. He threw a cocktail party for the aging artists, writers and intellectuals, with an unusual request: He wanted to film their lively conversations and have several of them return the next day for one-on-one interviews.
Some of the attendees hadn't seen each other since the 1920s. Greaves ended up with 60,000 feet of 16 mm film capturing their reflections on what it was like to be part of such an influential artistic movement. He worked on the film for the remainder of his life, editing short segments and filming some additional B-roll, but died in 2014 without ever completing the project.

Man I was so happy hearing this. Casual is such a big inspiration for me being from East Oakland. The wordplay, producing, his arrogance as an emcee. When you get someone so gamed up with that kind of lyrical ability, it’s special. And of course 40 recognizes that.

R.I.P. Ryu Murakami (1952–2026), enfant terrible of Japanese literature and author of "Coin Locker Babies" "Almost Transparent Babies", "In the Miso Soup" and "Audition". He was also known for directing TOKYO DECADENCE and for Hideaki Anno's adaptation of his novel LOVE & POP.

We are sad to learn that Japanese writer Ryū Murakami has passed away at 74 years old.
Murakami wrote the 1997 novel AUDITION which was adapted into Takashi Miike's horror masterpiece.
He also wrote the novels Almost Transparent Blue and Coin Locker Babies.
Rest in Peace.
