So much to cover today: Annette Bening in 20th Century Women, the Blade Runner sequel, and movie jokes about current politics after the jump...
There are few characters in film history that I personally relate to more than the inside out baboon in The Fly.

Little known fact: Nicholson stopped acting to avoid a slew of ranked performance articles tied to a new project.

Disappointed to read Luca Guadagnino's next project is not an 8 hour film titled Tilda Swinton Tasting Things

Brad Pitt's VOYAGE OF TIME narration works way better if you imagine he's still on the couch in TRUE ROMANCE.

20TH CENTURY WOMEN
20TH CENTURY WOMEN is just wonderful. My heart felt like it was going to burst. Annette Bening Forever.
— Nathaniel Rogers (@nathanielr) October 7, 2016
i think 1 of the reasons 20TH CENTURY WOMEN felt like a miracle cure is that we’re living through a year of ugly and proud misogyny

20th Century Women is a movie I think I'm going to love more and more with each watch. Also, Annette Bening dances to Black Flag. #NYFF
— Erin Whitney (@CinemaBite) October 7, 2016
I get the impression that NY media saw 20Th Century Women. They are effusive and correct about being so. Gerwig great… but Bening owns it…

My sanctuary is Annette Bening dancing to Talking Heads. "20th Century Women" is vibrant and nourishing and lovely. #NYFF

I disliked 20TH CENTURY WOMEN so much I'm worried I'll be too cranky to enjoy AQUARIUS. #NYFF #criticslife

Lots of eyes on Viola Davis dropping to supporting, but I'll just say keep an eye on Annette Bening in that regard.
— Kristopher Tapley (@kristapley) October 3, 2016
20TH C. WOMEN is lovely and moving and also basically ANNETTE BENING SMOKING AND MULLING: THE MOVIE which is the highest compliment #NYFF54
— Jason Bailey (@jasondashbailey) October 7, 2016
If I tell you that this is the most delightful Annette Bening has been since MARS ATTACKS, I promise I mean it as high praise

POLITICS
because they're inescapable this season
I call ANNA KARENINA sublime and get criticised for liking style over substance. Now you say Pence won the Debate? Give me a break, America.

Remember when Donald Trump complained about his mic not working? The universe has a sense of humor.

Rape culture is when a presidential nominee is discovered saying "Grab them by the pussy" on tape & millions will still vote for him.

I don't know where Trump works out. At my gym, the locker room talk is about whether Viola Davis will finally win Best Actress for Fences.
