"He has a serial killer’s charm, as depthless as a saloon façade on Spahn ranch, but at the movies submitting to Cruise’s smile is just one more delirious suspension of disbelief.". @patrickdahlyes with a virtuosic summary of the tao Tom Cruise

Now that Zohran's mayor, if you live in New York City and have a backyard or rooftop but don't host a 4th of July party, you are banished to New Jersey.

The crossroads of filmmaking and academia is getting a short experimental video into the Rotterdam Film Festival and paying 10% of your total annual income to fly yourself there and share an Airbnb with seven other impoverished artists, critics, and programmers.
