Today's #KickingtheCanon is an InRO favorite, with Selina digging into John Carpenter's #TheThing in honor of its 40th anniversary this weekend. "Carpenter walks the knife’s edge of narrative restraint and balls-to-the-wall gore with shivery glee."

But don't forget about We (Nous) from Alice Diop. @1xferokay is on the beat with that one.

Well, it feels sort of trivial to talk about movies right now, and as such we're a little behind on Instagram. But we did publish a piece yesterday dissecting P.T. Anderson's 2010s run (in honor of his birthday this weekend). Peep it if you need a distraction from the fact that the U.S. is now 1934 Germany. Byline: @toastyp3ngu1n

@treshongdavis talks #CIVIL, that new #BenCrump flick: "That very tension runs through the heart of CIVIL, which strives to be a personal examination but falls short of striking bedrock. Yet Hallgren’s moving direction rousingly channels Crump’s ethos to uplifting and ultimately winning effect."
—
Kevin Hart & Woody Harrelson have a movie on Netflix about about them doing some Hart & Harrelson shit. @stevenwarner1980 talks about it: "[#TheManfromToronto is] a light but refreshing blast of mid-summer fun that would play like gangbusters [in theaters.]"
—
#TheBlackPhone is in theaters. @mollyadams2408 is all in: "After [a deluge] of self-serious horror movies about trauma & family & fill-in-the-blank metaphors, a back-to-basics horror-thriller with a sly visual hook & solid performances is a welcome respite"

#ElvisMovie is out tmrw. Paul calls it "Baz's Malcolm X." "Elvis...[chooses] to engage in pure exhibitionism for its own sake... there’s an intensity to the vision here that feels all too lacking in contemporary blockbusters of this size and scale."

With Dispatch 5, our #Tribeca coverage concludes. Visit the link in our bio for takes on #LakotaNationVsUnitedStates, #InHerName, #January, and #MyNameIsAndrea. Bylines: Luke, Daniel, Mitch, & @ayeen.forootan

Peter Strickland's latest, #FluxGourmet, is decidedly not great. "Flux Gourmet’s stiff performance art world satire could use a push past its gross-out faux extremity into something actually horrific." — @krsmello

We liked Rainer Kohlberger's #AnsweringTheSun so much that we decided to sit down and chat about his latest effort, the conceptual framework of his filmography, influences on films, and more! Check out the full interview at the link in bio.

Mohammad Rasoulof's #AManOfIntegrity has finally gotten a US release, and @igorfshman couldn't be happier: "Ostensibly simple foundations ... are molded into something much more profound in Rasolouf’s hands..."

In honor of #PaulMcCartney80 over the weekend, we've got a Brendan essay on Sgt. Pepper's, its psychedelic exploration of childhood, and the ultimate question: "were [the Beatles] guiding culture or were they simply reflections of it?"

#TheWitch2 is a little overdone, but still a clinic on what American blockbuster cinema could be. —

#Pixar's latest, inevitable #ToyStory entry is here. @stevenwarner1980
says its no better or worse than the studio's recent spate of mid films: "Works best in its first half...[which] feels novel in comparison to the tired clichés peddled in [its] back-half."
—
Meanwhile, #Spiderhead is more than a disappointment. "...the end result is as flavorless as any dull, A24-branded, allegedly “elevated” genre fare. It’s pretty. It’s sometimes wryly funny. It’s trite." @colonelmortimer

"Jerry and Marge Go Large isn’t much for challenging viewers, but for the inclined, it’s quite successful at working its way into the heart’s soft spots with a warm touch and appealing sincerity." says @ayeen.forootan on #JerryAndMargeGoLarge

And it wouldn't be a Friday without #KickingTheCanon. From Daniel, on #HowardHawks #Hatari!

We had a lot of content yesterday, so our #kickingthecanon comes a day late. But it's worth it. Ryan talks Stanley Kubrick's Lolita in honor of the film's 60th anniversary yesterday: "[Holds a] quietly pivotal place in [Kubrick's] oeuvre."

#MadGod is coming to @Shudder
later this week. @morrisycy took on @madphilg's beautiful work a while back: "Tippett’s labor of love [offers] nothing less than a ravishing sensory experience of lurid phantasmagoria"

In honor of the 25th anniversary this month of Bruno Dumont's feature debut, La vie de Jésus, @1xferokay goes long on the director's use of performance: "Dumont isn’t making inroads in some sort of nouveau school of acting; he’s creating a world."

Paul also dug into #GoodLuckToYouLeoGrande for #Tribeca, which comes out Friday.
—
Next up is @mollyadams2408 with great things to say for #Tahara from #OliviaPeace.
