Hi, Reddit! I’m David Sims, a staff writer at The Atlantic, where I work primarily as a film critic. I’m here today to answer questions about movies, the state of the film industry, and my new weekly newsletter, Video Village. Ask me anything!
Hey, r/blankies!
For the past 12 years, I (David Sims) have written about films at The Atlantic. I’ve interviewed renowned directors such as Ryan Coogler (“Sinners”) and Benny Safdie (“The Smashing Machine”) and explored big happenings in the film industry, including the potential Netflix–Warner Bros. Discovery merger and the effect of Donald Trump’s tariffs on big movie productions. I’ve also given you lists of recommendations, such as the best movies to watch during the summer and the top-10 movies of 2025.
This month, I launched my newsletter, Video Village. Every Thursday, I plan on bringing criticism, recommendations, and commentary about the world of film straight to your inbox. In the first edition, out last week, I listed movies that have defined this decade so far—and explored what these titles tell us about how Hollywood is operating today.
Let’s talk movies. Ask me anything!

What is Dennis Farina wearing in Midnight Run?
Correct me if I’m wrong, but this appears to be the top half of a button down shirt sewn to the bottom half of a sweater? Is there a name for this clothing item? This is made even more insane by the fact that he’s wearing this in Vegas

Is Sundance ignoring a labor dispute? How should workers reach out to attendees about what they might be walking into?
I figure some blankies might be planning on going to Sundance, which as folks probably know, is moving to Boulder this year. For months now I’ve been helping support workers at the Hotel Boulderado, which will be Sundance’s HQ come January. Tickets are opening up to the public today, and Sundance doesn’t appear to be disclosing that there's brewing labor dispute in its first year in town.
Workers at the hotel have been dealing with significant understaffing and the rapidly rising cost of living in Boulder. They’ve asked for a fair process to organize a union without management interference... instead owners AJC Partners, Hilton, and Graduate Hotels haven’t responded and have brought in anti-union consultants who have been inside the hotel for more than three months. Workers have reached out to Sundance about what they could do to help resolve the issue before the festival, but they’ve gone radio silent. Boulderado workers want to make sure people know that pickets and other actions are possible if the labor dispute continues.
We think most people coming to Sundance would want to help Boulderado workers if they knew, and don’t want to cross a picket line.
We want to make sure that anyone in this sub that might be heading to Sundance knows what’s going on at the Boulderado. We’re also looking for ideas: how should workers reach the Sundance community or other people in the industry?
