BLACK PANTHER: WAKANDA FOREVER

A thread 👇🏿

I don’t know how Ryan did this. Given everything, I’m speechless at how he (and his collaborators) did this.

Thoughtful. Even more thoughtful than one would hope it would be given... EVERYTHING.

Impossible. An impossible task. Whole.

The absence is acknowledged and the presence created in that acknowledgment is beyond moving.

Seeing this, there is no way that role being recast would have been more thoughtful or honorable than this.

Again, an impossible task.

EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE is an absolute BLAST — a loud, craven, Evel Knievel thrill-ride of a movie with a BIG ASS HEART. The @Daniels have taken a generation’s love of ALL KINDS of cinema and folded it into the multiverse family saga we’ve all sorely needed. A THREAD👇🏿 Matrix 1999. I was a teenage usher in an AMC Movie Theater. It was clear then that someday this film would inspire a new generation of filmmakers to take its energy, it’ pairing of earnest philosophy and visual daring and wield them to wild, jaw-dropping effect.

In other news, the woman next to me is watching NOTTING HILL. A few choice folks will get the irony of this happening on my last flight of this sojourn. Also... Julia Roberts is STUNNING in this film. And holy shit Lester Freamon is in this?! After peeping these dolly/zoom combos in this dinner scene I looked up the director and OF COURSE it’s Roger Michell!!! a G and a Gent, was a Telluride regular for quite some time.
