Found out last night I got first place in arts criticism (the Jim Ridley award) from AAN for my work at the @portlandmercury.com aan.org/aan/announci... (couldn't have done it w/out my editor @suzettesmith.bsky.social and congrats to fellow PDXers, 2nd and 3rd @chancesp.bsky.social and Nolan Parker)

Arts Criticism (Jim Ridley Award)
First Place: Film Criticism – Dom Sinacola – Dom Sinacola – Portland Mercury

A decent critic can get you to read something about a film you’re unlikely to watch. But one as talented as Dom might actually compel you to stream it. And so I am about to check out “Train Dreams” despite his rather brilliant warning that “A work like this, which is about the connectedness of all living things, does not belong on Netflix, where any sense of community goes to die.”

Is this a safe space? I know this is toxic af but I get the biggest ick when a man tells me he took a nap. Something about that is so infantile and sassy to me.

reading:

a black paperback cover with an old daguerreotype-like picture of a baby hanging with all four limbs from a wire, and the words in very unadorned and mid-70s font:

Werner Herzog
Screenplays
Aguirre, the Wrath of God
Every Man for Himself and God Against All Land of Silence and Darkness

or this one:

fun article; my pick for the most American movie:

poster for Beavis and Butt-Head Do America… our two protagonists’ massive heads on each side of the poster overlooking a desert road with them on motorcycles, à la Easy Rider

A historic landmark in Portland with such an astounding view of the city that you can't take a bad picture there if you tried, and they go with this obvious and godawful AI slop... everything is bad, folks, and your greyhounds are horses now
