I had a chat with Ruth Negga about PASSING (novel and film), Nella Larsen, and understanding Clare Kendry’s last moment in the film.
“I really feel she did the fucking best she could.”
(Explicit spoilers about the ending in our conversation.)

NEW EPISODE! @DepartedAviator talks about his summer of theatre (he went to @SixBroadway and @hadestown among others) and how it reminded him of the power of bodies in motion on stage.

Be careful with “we can tell the difference between AAs and Africans” discourse. Too often the perceived “difference” stated is just internalized colorism, featurism, and texturism combined with eugenics. And this is also weaponized against other African Americans.

I hoped that Karim Aïnouz would follow in the footsteps of fellow South Americans Pablo Larraín and Sebastián Lelio in having his English-language debut be a rousing and thoughtful film on female solitude and rage. Alas, FIREBRAND doesn’t measure up

THE UPSIDE OF ANGER is still my favourite Alicia Witt movie. Joan should reunite with her screen daughters from it for something new

Denzel as Othello is lazy casting, made worse by 26-years Gyllenhaal as Iago, and potentially worse if (when) they cast an even younger Desdemona. Othello’s tragedy is so much less compelling if his fear of ageing are rooted in him actually being that much older than them

I think of how muchness is so often positioned as gauche, as if sparingness is the height of maturity. It seems interconnected to minimalist praise. Like how caring a lot or expressiveness in online spaces leads to the insult: “lol, why are you doing so much? It’s not that deep.”

My favourite thing about Scary Movie is that the movie Brenda is so excited to watch in that perennially memeable cinema -sequence is SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE.
And she’s right! SiL really IS that exciting. It’s also the answer to that “best rom-com of the last 40 years” question

The saddest music has ever gotten is the last verse of “The Last Time I Saw Richard” when Joni switches to 1st person. The cynicism of Richard she once challenged now envelops her, leaving her defiant but powerless, newly “cynical and drunk and boring someone in some dark café.”
