Today in 1966, Barbara Jordan is elected Texas state senator from Houston.
THR reports that two mystery actors, not one, are in the running for the role of James Bond, in addition to Callum Turner, Jack Lowden and Josh O’Connor.
The two mystery actors are described as “notable and established names.”

For @InRO, I wrote a very special essay about the abundance of Latin American films at this year's @chifilmfest. I cover shared themes and ideas across *ten* features, representing Argentina, Mexico, Cuba, Peru, Costa Rica, Haiti, Brazil, and the U.S.

Haley Stevens is so bat shit crazy I’m surprised I haven’t married her.
So if I thought that he was a dubious filmmaker as far back as Eagle Vs Shark, then I was just ahead of the game
Taika Waititi addresses the negative reception of ‘KLARA AND THE SUN’ from critics:
“I haven’t read a review of anything aimed at me or my peers in almost 15 years. But I do listen to the people. 💥🎉🫶🏽💦
So this Halloween, let’s spare a thought for those sad lost souls who couldn’t achieve their dreams of becoming artists, and thus became critics. The same people who also hated Jojo Rabbit 😂🤷🏽♂️
Irrelevant. Out of touch. Obsolete. In the bin. 🗑️😢🫶🏽”

Like I wasn’t going to write something Marie Antoinette-adjacent on its 20th anniversary. . .
"It quietly, and at times movingly, offers observations ranging from the artistic process to the struggles female filmmakers still face even after theoretically proving themselves."

I just hope you are able to bring in a good host and not just some dingbat

Happy 36th anniversary to my beloved THE HOT SPOT!
