I truly believe @BWDR is the best in the film magazine game. You won't find a place more passionately dedicated to exploring how and why films matter--everyone who works there does so out of pure obsession & love for the movies, for the writing, & for talking to you about both. https://t.co/nnEdJZapDB
36 years ago today, Brian De Palma unleashed BODY DOUBLE into theaters.
I wrote about it for @BWDR--a porn-pop uncanny valley of Hitchcockian anti-reality, heat-warped by sexual obsession into an unhinged flood of Brian D's megatonic, metafilmic id.

On his b-day, read about De Palma's BODY DOUBLE on @BWDR: a smirking, porn-pop uncanny valley of Hitchcockian anti-reality heat-warped by sexual obsession into an unhinged flood of Brian D's megatonic, metafilmic id.

On Melanie Griffith’s birthday, read about her performance in BODY DOUBLE. I wrote about it for @BWDR--a porn-pop uncanny valley of Hitchcockian anti-reality, heat-warped by sexual obsession into an unhinged flood of Brian D's megatonic, metafilmic id.

“Is everybody OK?”
“Yes, Sharon, everybody’s fine.”
“Are *you* OK?”
“Yes, I am…Thank you for asking that.”
Every time. Every fucking time.
If you don't know why you should snap up the @GrindhouseFilm re-release of THE SWIMMER, check out my @BWDR essay on its proto-MAD MEN cerulean hell, in which Burt Lancaster plays a man drowning in the deep end of his own shallow self-image of masculinity.

Bob Fosse would have been 93 today.
I wrote for @BWDR about Bob, his life, his Death, and his masterpiece, ALL THAT JAZZ--a hallucinatory, Fellini-esque atom-split of disco-vaudeville burlesque and deathbed excoriation.

I wrote for @BWDR about @JOSH_BENNY's UNCUT GEMS, an "at times ecstatic, at times tragic depiction of a deeply-flawed dreamer, of Jewish identity, and the risks & sacrifices taken by both to reveal their beauty within & achieve grace."

A reminder that @BWDR has dropped the paywall on our Survival Kit issue--"an issue that looks at things that still matter, reminding us both how/why movies are more important than ever, both as instruction & escape."
This is why @BWDR has felt like home to me the last few years. https://t.co/BjrtfNSN4H
