Have three cups of coffee in bed before anybody can speak with me even if I am late for work!! Then of course on sets get shouted at for being late and have no Kingly feelings left!!
Be honest, what’s the most KING-like thing you do in real life? #AskSRK @iamsrk

Wrote about Claire Denis start to finish: AD years with Rivette and Wenders/Dommartin, 1971-87; her first films and earliest friendships with Descas, de Bankolé, and, behind the scenes, Bernard-Marie Koltès, who died of AIDS in 1990; what her final films may look like. Link below

This is one of the most unnerving TikToks I’ve ever come across. “Just comply! Just comply!” Nightmare material.

Recently finished reading the new book by @strohltopia. Highly recommend it for cinephiles out there, or anyone who wants to give difficult films more attention. It also motivated me to watch Jeanne Dielman, which I kept putting off.

For a longer holiday read, Mamoulian on the meticulous use of color in his film Blood & Sand, something well worth thinking about in our Netflix 'color is just a given' age.

The Warner Archive Blu-ray of 7 Women (1965) comes out today, so I interviewed John Ford biographer Joseph McBride about his personal history with this much maligned masterpiece + the 6 minutes of missing footage he is seeking to restore. Link ⬇️⬇️

Had the immense privilege of speaking with the great Kenji Tanigaki for @mubinotebook.  Topics we discussed include Donnie Yen's action style, the Japanese action film industry, the limits of previs, Chinese DTV action, and, of course, RUROUNI KENSHIN. mubi.com/en/notebook/posts/t…

I have a new essay in Jacobin, arguing that homelessness is at odds with the ideal of a democratic society. I'll take this opportunity to mention that I'm writing a book for Oxford UP elaborating on the ideas in this piece. It will be a trade book, meant for a popular audience.

Homelessness is often thought of either as an issue of individual moral failings or merely of bad policy. It should instead be seen as a moral crisis for our democracy, one that demands transformative economic reforms. jacobin.com/2025/07/homeless…
