The Absolute Hell of Watching a Movie at the Alamo Drafthouse in 2026 Once America's most promising movie theater chain, the Alamo Drafthouse has become a QR-coded symbol of corporate enshittification.

I rarely deploy the term "banger." This? @davidehrlich.bsky.social's latest newsletter entry (and his glorious return after his book leave)? About the "absolute hell" of movie-going at the Drafthouse these days? This. This is a banger. www.indiewire.com/features/com...

The History of Concrete: basically just an 100-minute episode of How to With John Wilson in which he ponders the impermanence of TV shows, rocks, and all living things. loved every minute of it. an obvious early #Sundance2026 standout.

on tuesday night i held several of the world's greatest filmmakers hostage for a 15-minute speech about what critics & artists owe to each other in the age of rapid enshittification. i'm not entirely sure why i did that.

The Testament of Ann Lee: the Brutalist team returns for another, possibly even better historical epic about a European sailing to America & building a church, this one a quasi-musical starring Amanda Seyfried as Jesus 2.0. Often *transcendent*

Ballad of a Small Player: Colin Farrell is dealt a bad hand in Edward Berger's dysfunctional Conclave follow-up, a wonky and exasperating Netflix thriller about a gambling addict in Macau. think Sam Mendes doing Uncut Gems. hard fold.
