Ding Dong NYFF O'Clock

Aww look at baby bird Fred Hechinger rocking a Canadian Tuxedo at TIFF this week -- we love Fred! We do this by blocking out that screeching homophobic bullshit that Ridley Scott forced him into in Gladiator 2. On that front it helps that he's starring in the new queer movie from Weekend and All of Us Strangers director Andrew Haigh called A Long Winter (see my previous post here), which was what he was photographed for at TIFF -- and whaddya know I am seeing A Long Winter this very evening! That's right it's NYFF time -- press screenings kick off tonight ahead of the Opening Night Film (which is James Gray's Paper Tiger) next Friday. (Tickets went on sale today -- did my fellow New Yorkers get any?) Which is all to say -- bye! I'm off to screenings for the remainder of this week. Next week I'll be around some, in and out (so to speak, you dirty birds) -- anyway it's about to get super busy here in My...Pants, as it does every fall season. I'm a whore for cinema! Expect random quietudes to be followed / interuppted by a whole lot of reviews from me, you know eventually. Probably all at Pajiba but who knows, maybe I'll write about something up here as well. Anyway please wish me well on the full three-and-a-half day movie marathon I have directly ahead -- from morning til night inside my beloved Walter Reade Theater! There ain't nothing better. Movies y'all!
