"This is an amazing collection of black and white photos of life on the city streets in the summer that really inspired me when opening Streetbird Rotisserie in Harlem. The block party is something so quintessential that I love about living in NYC, and this book gets the vibe, the people, and the community just so."

"Carol Reed’s black-and-white tale of postwar Vienna is a perfect storm of dialogue, music, photography, and production design. Although the most celebrated moment is the reveal of Welles and that sly smile, for me the moment that makes the film is the final shot when Alida Valli just walks right by Joseph Cotten. Damn."

Kimberly Peirce recommended Blindspotting (2018) in Movies (curated)

"The brilliant chemistry between Daveed Diggs and Rafael Casal uniquely and poetically captures a black man and a white man’s friendship and the competing social standards that they each must live by. Diggs plays a man who cannot afford to make the mistakes that his best friend can, and lives in waking fear of a terrible threat that his best friend will never have to confront. The final encounter with the police officer beautifully captures the pressures of carrying a gun (police) vs. the pressure of fearing that gun (black Americans)."

"When the Beatles started, I was 7—too young to understand the subtlety and the sex appeal. I didn’t get what the screaming and hysteria was about. I just thought they had good tunes. There was a moment that I realized: This is now. The ’50s seemed black-and-white in comparison. I hated Elvis Presley and all that rock’n’roll. It sounded boring."

"Another black and white, this one from Belgium, 1992. I think I saw it at the Toronto Film Festival with Quentin Tarantino. It’s a hilariously dark, fake documentary about a serial killer and his concerned friends and family. It’s not for everybody, but it genuinely shocked me while I laughed my ass off. Kudos to directors Rémy Belvaux, André Bonzel, and Benoît Poelvoorde."
