Speed Racer: Cubist Cinema
In the Wachowskis’ earnest work, Speed Racer valorizes a supportive family just as much as it celebrates acts of love and a true love of art.

"Steve Jobs is not a genius creator-god; for most of the movie, he can’t even admit to having created his own daughter, because looking an imperfect human invention in the face is significantly harder than putting her name on a product.” —Sarah Jae Leiber, Performance

Any chance I know anyone who was doing film criticism in 2015, covered Telluride, NYFF, or for some other reason has access to the STEVE JOBS production notes?

Would be a big help

Skeptical about Steve Jobs? So is @aeneas-nin.bsky.social! Read Alexander B. Joy in STEVE JOBS MONOGRAPH to see how the editing of Steve Jobs (2015) betrays the Great Man narrative at the core of the Apple genius story, coming soon.
"The Silicon Valley myth surrounding the real-life Steve Jobs is that he was a magician, creating inimitable product styles and loyal customer bases where none existed before. But a magician is one who works magic, and the first act’s genre framing argues that the protagonist of Steve Jobs is no such person. He’s an illusionist at best, a weaver of mirages who amounts to yet another species of con man." —Alexander B. Joy, Edit

Wrote a little something about watching movies with my one year old
A ★★★★ review of King of Jazz (1930)
My kid gets home from childcare and naps for 2 hours. Then we usually hang out for 30-60 minutes before dinner and I like to put something on for us to watch while I sit on the couch or in the playpen...
