The head of a presidential library resigned this week after a tug-of-war with the Trump administration over gift selection and a sword for King Charles III, sources familiar with the matter told CBS News. Todd Arrington, a career historian who previously held posts with the National Park Service and National Archives and Records Administration, stepped down on Monday as director of the Dwight D.

On August 28, thanks to @amcinematheque.bsky.social and @lafilmcritics.bsky.social, I'll be joined by Richard Linklater at the Aero for a screening and conversation about his landmark film.

neutral · AI labelView post →I did several Q&As with Richard Linklater and the rest of the BOYHOOD team when the film came out 12 years ago. It felt special to be back with him on stage after all this time talking about that movie again.
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching Boyhood for the first time in years. My first big year paying attention to film was 2014, so a lot of my first awards season fight between Boyhood and Birdman. I was thoroughly part of camp Birdman, and was throwing around the taunting “IT TOOK 12 YEARS TO MAKE!”

neutral · AI labelView post →Am I the only one that thought Boyhood was overrated? Like the meta of the movie is unique and impressive, for sure. It's an incredible idea to film a movie following the development of a kid into adulthood in real time, and the perseverance to make it is laudable. But... I found the movie that resulted felt like... well like someone who had an idea for a movie 11 years ago and kept changing the plan along the way without being able to change what's already filmed. It felt messy and disjointed.…
negative · AI labelView post →5. The glacial pacing kind of works like the movie BOYHOOD in how things change slowly and all at once - you get an acute sense of what little humanity was there at the start, exactly where it went, and exactly when the body horror starts

THE LEGO MOVIE, GONE GIRL, EDGE OF TOMORROW, WOLF OF WALL STREET, GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL, BOYHOOD, HER, WHIPLASH, GODZILLA, JOHN WICK, FROZEN? Take out those last three and that is a banger best picture nom list.
neutral · AI labelView post →I got to know Ann Hornaday when she was the film critic for the Austin paper in the '90s. Smart, generous, funny. I credit her with pointing out that Linklater's theme was time and that Boyhood was a movie about time passing at different speeds. I am so grateful I knew her & wish her husband peace.
neutral · AI labelView post →Gone With the Wind is mostly famous for the scope of the movie in a meta context beyond the content therein. Its fine but its like Boyhood where the hype machine around it was its own thing entirely separate from the movie itself - and that's what people tend to talk about.
neutral · AI labelView post →www.reddit.com/r/movies/s/w... Good reminder of how I came to watch Boyhood initially: by myself in a Saturday matinee. I also ate a pizza by myself in the first 30 minutes of the movie, not that we're judging 😅
neutral · AI labelView post →IMO It's an absolutely brilliant concept and amazing achievement, but on the whole, the parts didn't sum up to something all that interesting for me. Maybe it's because we already have years of personal experiences in terms of growing up and seeing people, things and situations change all around us, I don't know. And we already have documentaries tracking peoples lives & careers, making "Boyhood" oddly gimmicky for me. \*shrug* Meanwhile, his earlier films *Slacker* & *Dazed and Confused*…

neutral · AI labelView post →‘Stalker’ isn't a studio film, same as Tarkovsky's other films. They are ‘auteur’ films. ‘Stalker’ doesn't even really follow the novel, it's rather Tarkovsky's ideas put into the same setting. Directors who want to make slow films, make them still. See e.g. ‘Boyhood’. Of Russian films, try ‘Hard to Be a God’, the last film of Alexey German, made in 2013. There's a whole movement called [slow cinema](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slow_cinema), with extreme examples like Lav Diaz's work having…

I saw it described as a visual poem (This is accurate) about a boy running from his past with his girlfriend and sister, arrives to work as a farmhand on a Texas farm during harvest season. I enjoy Tarkovskys films, those are generally quite slow but philosophically dense. Stalker, Solaris, and Andrei Rublev. I haven't seen the rest. I also enjoy abstract documentaries. Baraka is a dialogue-less…

neutral · AI labelView post →They're showing Boyhood at the Drafthouse tonight and I should probably give that film another chance because the one time I saw it was on a plane and that's no way to see a movie but also it's long and my memory is that it's kind of a slog and a downer.

positive · AI labelView post →Just adding to the “follow the same character” series, Truffaut’s Antoine Doinel cycle might be the closest analog to Boyhood, though that is four films and a short as opposed to one movie.

neutral · AI labelView post →What's funny is that Linklater kind of already beat you to the punch with that concept when he made _Boyhood_, seeing as that chronicles 2002-2014. Not entirely the same, of course. They're very different movies, and because (SAY THE LINE, BART!) it took 12 years to make, _Boyhood_ lacks the retrospective quality _Dazed and Confused_ has. Still, I wouldn't be surprised if someone is working on something that is in line with your concept right now. I feel like pop culture has been…
neutral · AI labelView post →Some films hit different, like ‘Boyhood’ did for me. As I’d attended a screening with a q&a, I felt compelled to go up to star Ellar Coltrane and thank him for his service! He was very modest and appreciative which made me even more emotional! #Boyhood #Ellarcoltrane loose-lips.com/index.php/20...

neutral · AI labelView post →Funny how all the critics bashing Digger are just recycling quotes from me circa 2014 after seeing Birdman. That was a fucking annoying movie that critics loved and it won best picture. Justice for Boyhood (or even Grand Budapest)!
positive · AI labelView post →I absolutely remember a lot of discussion crapping on Boyhood. That it was a boring movie using a dumb gimmick with bad acting and not on the level of Linklater's best movies. It feels so odd to see the discourse do a complete 180 like that.
neutral · AI labelView post →I think one weird part of the Iñárritu hate is that I've seen a growing take that Birdman snubbed Richard Linklater's movie Boyhood at the Oscars. I find it weird because I 100% remember people accusing Boyhood of being a gimmick movie at the time of its release.
