Edvard Munch (1974) Peter Watkins is just a dazzling filmmaker. I've loved a lot of biopics, conventional and non, but this one feels the most like "life". Brilliant photography too, with constantly changing light and focusing on the microscopic and the soft

One the one hand, Ralf Hütter was more of the composer and instrumentalist than Florian Schneider was, on the other hand Schneider had that weird brain for sound and productions and Hütter has mainly focused on remixing their existing catalogue live since he left

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance's relationship to the mainline series is akin to Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 to 1, so you can love it even though it's quite different from the Kojima games

Finished part 1 of Peter Watkin's Edvard Munch on YouTube but have to attend a social event tonight, so have to watch part 2 tomorrow.
Also started reading Pynchon's Shadow Ticket, really loving it, will finish Henry Miller and Robbe-Grillet when I'm less sexually neurosed

“Grandparents rights”

Here's a good one making the rounds on Twitter. A woman takes the mic at a Byron Donalds town hall because she believes the state should pass laws to "protect grandparents rights" because she hasn't seen her grandchild in a month

Edvard Munch is a cool ass movie because Peter Watkins saw into the future of the 19 year old Gen Z college students plugged up in their dorms watching only arthouse movies and realized this was the way to force expose them to painting and real art critique

Michelangelo Antonioni's birthday is today. He is one of my all-time favorite directors. I love his Italian films, his English language films, his late style works, and learning about his unrealized scripts and his dalliances with amateur filmmaker Paul McCartney in London

Cosmopolis
1) Should have been Cronenberg’s Palme victory
2) Juliette Binoche gets lovelier every year and is viciously talented still
3) Insane people were down on this Robert Pattinson performance
4) Paul Giamatti has an amazing audio only introduction
5) Emily Hampshire hot

Saraband, Ingmar Bergman's last narrative feature film, and a sequel to Scenes From A Marriage that was shot on HD video instead of the original series's 16mm
has there even been an instance of a story that is deeply nostalgically associated with the aesthetics of its particular era coming back and asserting itself as equally in touch with the present as the opening seconds of miami vice (2006)
