I never thought I would see a Batman movie like #TheBatman : an actual detective story, methodically paced, dripping with atmosphere, modestly stylish. And it's sort of incredible to look at. @GreigFraser_dp and @mattreevesLA have crafted an aesthetic at once evocative and unique.

Denis Villeneuve: "I hate dialogue." Kevin Costner: "Everybody's looking for the shootout for westerns, but the strength of them is what gets said leading up to things, because there is an oddity about how people talk. Yet, it's our Shakespeare, the American west."

From this point forward, in fact, FFC will no longer be covering new MCU releases. The obsessive bullying of Scorsese--Scorsese!--from a multibillion dollar corporation has forced us to choose sides. I understand most sites don't have this luxury, so no judgment implied.

Sunday marks the 25th anniversary of Barry Levinson's WAG THE DOG. For @VanityFair , I spent the last six months building this oral history of a prescient political satire, a story of media, manipulation and the conjuring of a "reality" the public will buy.

“What Difference Does It Make If It’s True?”: The Oral History of ‘Wag the Dog’

Robert De Niro, Dustin Hoffman, Barry Levinson, and more look back at the political satire so ahead of its time it practically saw the future.
