David’s piece is fantastic, especially the discussion about the power dynamics in the industry and how most critics are barely scraping by. I don’t write many reviews these days. The assignments are few & far between. There are many talented writers but scarce funds to pay them.
i wrote about Taika Waititi's delusional and embarrassing Instagram post, and how it reflects a deeper problem about the impacts of social media on the entire artistic ecosystem:

Finding out about this on for the first time is... disheartening. I had been pushing to do a Blu-Ray of SPACED for years, so to find out that someone just went ahead without our involvement is.... a bummer. Not authorized by anyone involved in making the show. Finding out what happened as we speak...
So SPACED is finally coming to blu-ray and it's from an "algorithmic" remaster in 4K... C'mon, seriously? @edgarwright did you have any involvement in this? Because an AI upscale is most disappointing...

Mexican actress Mercedes Hernández has a small, but memorable part in DIGGER. She is, however, the lead in the masterful film IDENTIFYING FEATURES, as a mother searching for her son. Her devastating performance earned her the Best Actress award from the Mexican Film Academy 🇲🇽

Tom Cruise tells Studio MAPPA that he wants to come back and discuss movies with a longer tour to see artists draw in person.
"Please I want to do this"
Throughout the video he expressed that he's not a fan of AI at all and is very into handmade stuff.

Not about DIGGER, but I did interview Iñárritu earlier this year about his AMORES PERROS installation at LACMA latimes.com/delos/story/2026…

I had a conversation with director Alejandro G. Iñárritu for Gizmodo Japan, who is currently in Japan promoting “Digger.”

If you love physical media, come to the Gardena Cinema on Sunday for a VHS swap and a screening of BE KIND REWIND. I’ll be helping my friend @conor_holt with his VHS stand and there will be other physical media vendors. Come for the tapes (& DVDs) and stay for the fitting movie.

I found DIGGER brilliant both for the farcical excess of its top layer and for the matter-of-fact bleakness underneath. It unfolds unexpectedly and confronts where humanity is now and where we might be soon. I’m a BARDO and BABEL defender, so I’m often on Iñárritu’s wavelength.

For Rotten Tomatoes, I wrote this piece on 10 essential Mexican films.
If you are an avid watcher of Mexican cinema, you likely know all these, but I think some people might discover some titles they weren’t aware of. Or it might encourage others to revisit them. Link below 🇲🇽

I was there for the film, Q & A as well. A few thoughts. 1, great flick! 2, Garfield just bombed his own movie. 3, You could tell Greengrass was trying to reframe the argument into a more "stick it to the man" message then Garfield's take. 4, in the movie the peasants actually beheaded many of the rich mercantile folks after doing away with the King's council, in short? Andrew, they would have had your $15 million dollar head on a stake. Hey just saying...

Found this academic DVD about the history of Latinos in U.S. film and TV. Looking forward to watching what they cover. Some great artists featured. Interesting to find this one while rummaging through a used bookstore.

MAD BILLS TO PAY is now streaming on @criterionchannl. For LA Times (De Los) I profiled Dominican American director Joel Alfonso Vargas about the places and people who inspired this lived-in story of a young man about to become a father:
