I personally related to the film as someone who, for most of my academic life, was one of only a few students of color. That puts pressure on a person. Scrutiny in that space is common, but there’s a special kind of scrutiny that comes when you’re one of a kind — a lot of pressure, from all sides. I very much related to Luce and thought that Kelvin’s performance was extraordinary. He was playing a character who himself was playing a character, and his portrayal was incredibly layered and sympathetic. All the acting in the movie was great: Octavia Spencer has never put a foot wrong as an actress, and Tim Roth and Naomi Watts were wonderful as Luce’s adoptive parents.

A lot of great films out now, but one of the most important is @thereportmovie . Brilliantly written, urgently performed. It makes a dense and confusing story comprehensible and compelling. We cannot move forward as a nation if we do not hold ourselves to our own bright standard.

I went to the @BlacKkKlansman premiere. This is #spikelee introducing the single most hilarious, shocking, daring, impactful movie you will see this year, and probably ever. See it this weekend. You will laugh your ass off, gasp for breath, and then go “holy SHIT. Spike is back.”

Watched “Always Be My Maybe” with some close friends. One of them, who shall remain nameless but who may or may not for a living, laughed so hard... they farted. Just a bit.

I saw @captainmarvel this week. It is visually dazzling, emotionally satisfying, and wildly funny. See it. Take your best boy or girl to see it. Take your kids to see it. Take that douche at work who doesn’t like “lady superheroes” to see it.

Sex is cool and all... but have you ever sung the entire Hamilton soundtrack at the very top of your lungs on a road trip? #lotsofstaresdontcare

What movie makes you laugh the most? I really liked Horrible Bosses 2. Feel how you will about it.

And I was one of those kids who I’d go with my dad to see Die Hard or Road Warrior way too early in age.

I’d seen the first Terminator something like 20 or 30 times. I just loved movies.

I remember seeing Live on the Sunset Strip when I was a kid. But I just thought Richard Pryor was an alien. You know what I mean? Like, a magical person who came down to do this thing. The idea that that was a vocation was just not in my head.

It’s certified fresh on @rottentomatoes and I am so happy for my good friend @zacharylevi. Everyone go see it when it opens

I saw #niadacosta’s beautiful gem of a movie @littlewoodsfilm about the opiate crisis, health care, family, poverty and so much more a couple of weeks ago. It’s exquisite. Catch if if you can.
