    RIP our brilliant colleague David Ehrenstein, the most erudite and impassioned of critics, who enlarged our understanding of cinema, especially LGBTQ and avant-garde cinema, in the pages of Film Comment, Film Quarterly, the Village Voice, The Advocate and countless others. He will be deeply missed.

    When they say "it takes a village" they're referring to M Night Shyamalan's 2004 film "The Village" and what "it's taking" is Joaquin Phoenix right to the top of the box office baby

    The irrationality is contagious, too: this lands like that movie The Village when it’s revealed they aren’t an 18th century Amish village, just a violent cult living in the woods in modern-day Pennsylvania. It’s deeply irresponsible boosterism, consciously so, to the point of inexplicability.

    YMCA originally was definitely a gay anthem. The Village People movie might surprise some of the right-wing fans who enjoy YMCA now, with a bit more "young man" than they were expecting. They can hang out with all the boys, including the showers, here: youtu.be/wuFQPuKV_jA?... #YMCA 🤸‍♂️ 💪 🚿

    The Village is the best movie made about modern fundamentalism in the past 40 years. Yes, the M Night Shyamalan one. Spoiler for the whole movie... Modern fundamentalists are people who grew up with lots of freedoms which they want their kids not to have.
