The Saddest Weekend of the Year

Jan 17, 2025 | mynewplaidpants.com | Jason Adams

That is a photo fo Jonathan Bailey that I have posted before but I need a pick-me-up here on the day after David Lynch died so don't judge. I've mostly spent today reading Lynch tributes, hence the relative quiet -- although I also have a review that'll be hitting Pajiba at some point today or this weekend so stay tuned for that.

Fans left flowers and candles and photos memorializing David Lynch at the Bob's Big Boy statue in Burbank yesterday -- this might be the perfect Lynchian tribute. If you're not aware Lynch went to this this diner every day for seven years at 2:30 in the afternoon to have a coffee and a chocolate shake -- he said he went at that precise moment in the day because that was the time when the milkshake machine was working just right.

What movie is this?
George Mackay Six Times

Jan 17, 2025 | mynewplaidpants.com | Jason Adams

Well here is a nice distraction -- filmmaker Xavier Dolan photographed actor George Mackay for a new Gucci campaign! And I have the photos! That one above is going right onto the vision-board but they're all hotness so hit the jump and singe yourselves...
Good Morning, World

Yes I am still fully consumed with the loss of David Lynch -- don't expect this fire to die down any time soon.

I felt lucky at least once a week, but sometimes once or twice a day, to be alive at the same time as David Lynch. That might sound outlandish but it's not even the slightest bit of an exaggeration. His work walked with me. It inspired and scared and tickled me. He gave me a fresh way to look at the world -- he didn't just make movies. He reshaped my consciousness.
Documentary Like Right Now, Right Here

Jan 16, 2025 | mynewplaidpants.com | Jason Adams

This is the best news we'll get today, it's all downhill from here -- hell this could be the best news we get all month. (I'll stop myself there lest I depress myself again.) The IFC comic mockumentary masterpiece Documentary Now! from Fred Armisen and Bill Hader is getting a box-set blu-ray release! Pre-order it right here -- hitting on February 25th it's four discs including every episode (which each riff on a different real-world documentary comedically) and loaded with extras.
Good Morning, Yura

When yesterday afternoon I posted that Sean Baker's Anora is getting a Criterion release I did a quick search to see what images of Russian actor Yura Borisov I'd posted before so I didn't repeat myself and I discovered that I've barely posted any! Blaspheme! (There is this one post and that is it.) I had hopped onto his bandwagon even before Anora when I saw him the wonderful 2021 movie Comparment Number 6 (here is my review of that movie where I called him "a moody revelation") and I had...
Yura To Warhol & Everything Criterion Between

Jan 15, 2025 | mynewplaidpants.com | Jason Adams

I was just literally thinking, "Hey I get paid today," when an email arrived in my inbox (not a euphimism) that reminded me the middle of the month indicates something even better -- it's Criterion Announcement Day! And the drop for April is a hefty one -- seven titles strong! The big one being Sean Baker's extremely popular 2024 film Anora, which will assuredly get a bank of Oscar nominations come Oscar nomination morning (whenever that happens, since they keep moving it due to the wildfires).
