@timbhealey.bsky.social From a Mets/Red Sox fan who’s been reading your reporting for years, do you still hear on occasion from the Lithuanian roommate? Her story, as you shared it, was quite the saga.

I wasn’t aware the idea of Aryan perfection is ‘likeliest to drop dead face-first in a Wendy’s Baconator by the age of forty-five.’

I’d be all for adding a video game or pinball machine or two to the Watertown RMV: a great way to pass the time, while paying homage to the arcade which formerly occupied that space.

Amateur-hour film writing, from all but giving an entire plot away to admitting he couldn’t remember a film he saw twenty minutes prior (unless he rewatches it, his eventual full-length review, as with so much under his byline, will represent a disservice to Globe readers).

You should check out Bone Lake. A couple of my horror film fan friends and I loved it.

I haven’t watched enough Pat McAfee to know if the guy on the left does anything more than motionless Easter Island statue impressions.

The moment I shook off the naïveté of believing I could change the opinion of a random stranger online was the moment I no longer felt myself tensing up at times when I have this device in my hands.

Plus he included her even though she declined last year and hasn’t been invited to join this year.

He seems to think it’s woke to exhibit manners.

I feel it’s safe to say nothing as memorable as Limelight will ever occupy that space.

The pro-AI argument I encounter boils down to ‘it saves me from doing work.’

Unless AI can break rocks for someone in the desert sun, that isn’t a valid excuse. There’s a lot to be said for putting the human mind into action.

He’s assuredly pissed he wasn’t able to attend the screening of Mr. Scorsese at NYFF because he instead had to schlep someone and their luggage to and from LaGuardia.

I take as seriously his lectures about being ‘fair’ and ‘honest’ as I would a pyromaniac speaking about the evils of arson as they toss a burning rag through an open window.

He blocked me earlier today for politely suggesting that he, the head film critic for The Boston Globe, should focus more on film-related goings-on in the Boston area. bsky.app/profile/danb...

The above commentary represents grounds for blocking by Boston Globe head film critic Odie Henderson.

I got blocked by the author of said OBAA review and NYFF article.

Quite the commentary that the film critic in question won’t tolerate polite criticism:

…screening it in 70MM.

Sometimes it seems as if you’re writing more for a general reader base than that of the Boston Globe.

danbraun93.bsky.social @danbraun93.bsky.social · 13d

Where else should I have asked you?

Unless you were directed to do so by an editor, writing about NYFF instead of the IFFBoston Fall Focus, given the heavy overlap between the festival’s offerings, seems like an odd choice.

Plus, in your review of OBAA, you didn’t mention the Somerville Theatre…

Why didn’t you write about the IFFBoston Fall Focus for the Globe? Seems like that would be of interest to us readers.
