If you’re sitting around doing nothing, I recommend listening to every Radiohead album, in order they were released. You too can be bouncing around your office on a gloomy morning saying, anything is possible.

Some days I just can’t believe both James Brown and David Bowie are gone.

Solo is great. pulls like 7 rabbits from the hat: acting, writing, design, score, cinematography, direction and fun. the seven rabbits. – at Kensington, London

i realize there is lots going on in the world, but Car Seat Headrest made a great LP last year-Teens Of Style. and that matters, too. – at Manhattan, NY

everything that rises... turns into advertising. – at Los Angeles, CA

the fact that David Bowie can die is more dispiriting than the usual bad news. – at Santa Monica, CA

so I got to see "Youth" the other night. is Paolo Sorrentino the greatest writer-director working today? cast your vote. oh fuckit. YES. – at Santa Monica, CA

and special salute to Phyllis Nagy. you want to see great screenwriting? see "Carol." – at Santa Monica, CA

Carol gets me off tweet bench. Todd Haynes. Rooney Mara. Ed Lachman. Judy Becker. what a film. I'm alive. I'm alive. fuck yeah. Rooooney!!! – at Santa Monica, CA

@Davegilbs I hope it's "dust bunnies."

Hollywood today: if no one has super powers or can fly, it's a drama.

12 Years A Slave in a tweet- it only permanently changed the way I think about my country.

Matthew McConaughey gives one of the great generational performances in Dallas Buyer's Club. Best not just of this year but many years.

If you're out there and you missed Frances Ha, the Noah Baumbach film, and you know you are and did, then check it out. It's great.

More people watched Li Na win the French Open than watched the Super Bowl. Wonder what the Aussie numbers will be?

"Inside Llewyn Davis" is a perfect film. Oscar Isaac! Huge congrats to T-Bone and Bruno. Every frame is a photograph you wish on your wall.

12 Years a Slave has the structure of a horror film. With Chewitel in the Jamie lee Curtis role. Except when it ends it's still 1853.

Can we all get back to "12 Years a Slave" for a sec? A horror film. Permanently affected how I think about my country. Rarer than radium.

If you haven't seen "12 Years a Slave," the question you gotta ask yourself is, why not?
