What an absolute treasure Diane Keaton was. Her wit never tired, nor did her style.

The best vowel is obviously 'O' while the worst is 'E', which isn't even symmetrical.

Julie Christie, though not sure how long ago her last film was.

Everyone moves up a slot on the Most Handsome Living Man list now.

Arts criticism is vitally important, whether it's for TV, movies, comic books, or anything else. It's more than a binary good/bad; it's a way of contextualizing the emotional, political, or other themes of a piece as well as laying out connections and comparisons through deep historical knowledge.

oh yeah?

Luck bastard (not jealous)

Only really know Bingo Kidneys off of it. But that song is awesome.

The attack on the ferry is astonishing in how it balances spectacle with tragedy and fear, never tipping over into anything ‘fist pumping’.
I got so much from rewatches of WotW and Munich, understanding better what Spielberg and the writers were going for rather than them meeting my ‘expectations’.

Anyone in need of a serotonin boost should watch this

Twenty years ago, this was merely a paragraph of speculative fiction in an unwritten late work from J.G. Ballard.

An album of exquisite moments: e.g. the first drop which starts the album, Greenman’s string arrangement, and, especially, the flugelhorn taking over from Andy’s voice on The Last Balloon. But overall, an astonishing album.

‘Hence, proposing to invade Greenland, annex Canada as the 51st state, seize the Panama Canal, or to "clear out" Gaza and develop it as a resort strip, led neither to a Republican revolt, nor any serious blowback.

A lot of alliterations from anxious anchors placed in powerful posts!

April 7, 1950 column by Sidney Skolsky excerpt: Ida Lupino relates this incident as being mainly responsible for her turning from actress to director. Ida had played an important scene in a picture in which, at a very dramatic moment, she ordered several other performers to get out of the room. Later, one of the performers in that sequence said to Ida over the luncheon table: "You know when you shouted 'Get out! Get out!' and we got out? Well, we did it because the director told us to, and not because you were shouting at us to." "I discovered," says Ida Lupino, "that no one listens to an actress. So became a director in self-defense."
