I love weekends most because I arbitrarily allow myself to eat everything (and ruin my cal deficit for the week). Two steps forward, two steps back, but the steps taste really good, so. 🦶🏻

when you set an alarm for a restaurant to start taking doordash orders because you wanna order faster than the scheduled order option allows (then you might be a loser with a food problem) 🫡

time to come clean. i have a little debbie nutty buddy problem.

Dirk at the lakers game sitting with luka’s dad is crazy. Nobody in sports has it worse than mavs fans right now lol.

"permit me to introduce myself: luigi mangione"

*young john saxon in mario bava's the girl who knew too much*

(cont)...ai due to public backlash. while i fully disapprove of ai's use in the conceptualization process (story, writing, dialogue, character, shot comp), using it to enhance existing material such as how the brutalist used it is, by definition, a special effect, and should be welcomed, imo.

in favor but (as with anything) the topic is more complex than the public sentiment suggests. as the original article explains, ai has been used in various ways for longer than most people realize, & the academy is inherently reactionary: the fear is that they'll outright bar films that use...(cont)

Mouchette & The Old Man and the Sea Bresson and Hemingway and the power in objectivity in art

A ★★★★ review of The Trial of Joan of Arc (1962) ideal companion film to dreyer's masterpiece for its artistic differences (namely bresson's austerity compared to dreyer's expressionism, and his focus on hands as a symbol of humanity -- its life and...

Finally watched bresson’s trial of joan of arc & I think it’s THE perfect companion to dreyer’s take: one austere, one expressionistic, each with the director’s signature style & tone, & emphasize different aspects of her dangers while both being faithful to history. 😗🤌🏻

Can’t recall a film that weaponizes subtext & viewer knowledge more viscerally than zone of interest. Further, couldn’t have imagined a feeling more awful than from seeing the atrocities, but the banality of an officer’s family life in earshot of a camp is worse. Glazer is a genius (& I feel sick).

Doesn’t bode well 🫥
