“I never wanted to be this famous. I never imagined this life for myself.” — Kristen Stewart
It’s her birthday today. “Really, I’m incredibly disjointed and not candid. Just in general, my thoughts tend to come out in little spurts that don’t necessarily connect. If you hang around long enough, you can find the linear path. But … Continue reading
December 2025 Viewing Diary
Marty Supreme (2025; d. Joss Safdie) I have mixed feelings on this, especially the last scene, which is corny as hell. Not as corny as the last scene in Lady Bird, but in its way even more obnoxious. Robert Towne … Continue reading

Review: The Chronology of Water (2025)
This is Kristen Stewart’s directorial debut. (She directed a short film in 2017. This is her first feature.) It’s an adaptation of Lidia Yuknavitch’s 2011 memoir of the same name and it’s an extraordinary piece of work. I can’t say … Continue reading
January 2025 Viewing Diary
Glengarry Glen Ross (1992; d. James Foley) I saw this one in the theatre back in the day. There’s a revival coming up on Broadway and Bill Burr is going to be in it. It’s kind of perfect! He’ll be … Continue reading

Reviews: Love Me (2025)
I know I didn’t give Love Me that good a review, but I think it’s still worth checking out, particularly for the first half, its visuals and creativity.

October 2020 Viewing Diary
American Murder: The Family Next Door (2020; d. Jenny Popplewell) Very amateurish. Perhaps interesting to those who weren’t following the case as closely as I was. I’m STILL following the case. Chris Watts seems to think he’s going to be … Continue reading

Thanks, everyone, who hangs out here, who likes what I do, whether you’re an Elvis fan, a Supernatural fan, a general cinephile, a book-lover, or just someone who’s been checking in periodically for 17 years – WHAT? – I appreciate … Continue reading

For Film Comment: On Kristen Stewart
As long as she keeps working, I’ll keep wanting to write about her. For my latest column over at Film Comment.
Tomboys: Supporting evidence
Since I reference all of these great tomboys in culture in my recent article for Film Comment, I thought I’d provide the results of my research. This was a fun one. My main focus was on Candleshoe. Paper Moon was … Continue reading
