Seeing American people on here comment on Keir Starmer’s baffling decision making — this must be what Americans feel like 99% of the time when the rest of the world talks about US politicians. And it sucks!

In this new episode of Hard Truths, @elazic.bsky.social and @manilazic.bsky.social get emotional talking about the work of one of their favourite filmmakers, Maurice Pialat. animus-magazine.ghost.io/hard-truths-...

It’s easy to think writing is mainly the transcription of ideas you already have—that is, until you try to write something worthwhile, and you find what you thought were saying transform into something far more interesting in the process. This skips that last step, and that is *not* an improvement.

Psycho. #67 Time travel.

When it comes to film, is older always better? In the latest Psycho. a reader admits they do not *get* the cinema of John Cassavetes. From this sad predicament, Caspar Salmon finds several ways out of shame, towards a kinder reckoning with cinemas past & present 🙏 animus-magazine.ghost.io/psycho-67/

This is happening just a week after I finally became a paying @ifbookspod.bsky.social subscriber and I have no regrets.

WILLIAMS: I’ve been very clear about what happened with the plums. As soon as I realised my error, I fronted up

CHOTINER: But you knew they were probably being saved for breakfast?

W: Yes.

C: Of course, you’d been close to starving

W: I had.

C: Strange then that you focus on their deliciousness

Thank you!

A screenshot of WhatsApp: Ash: Sebastián, I have one very pressing question. Sebastián Di Martino: Let me know Ash: Are jaguar soft? Sebastián Di Martino: They are very soft (two hearts on the answer)

Being a journalist is sick: I just contacted a pre-eminent jaguar conservationist in Argentine with a question that has been weighing on me for ages and he wrote back right away with an informed answer.

In front of Blu-Ray shelves, a hand holds out a chicken pie with the text “The Lord of the Rings” written in pie dough on top

Haven’t baked as many chicken pies as I would have liked to this year, but at least today’s LOTR-themed creation (made to coincide with our New Year’s Eve watching) is one of my all-time best.

Is love real, or a socially accepted form of delusion? Is romance a choice, or written in the unalterable script of our destiny? As Richard Linklater’s BEFORE SUNRISE (1995) turns 30, Elena and Manuela revisit his Before Trilogy and discuss NOUVELLE VAGUE. animus-magazine.ghost.io/hard-truths-...

Absolutely thrilled to be publishing such a wonderful essay from Robert. Bringing back long-form pieces on Animus has been a highlight of my year.

Michael Sheen spent his own money to write off $1.3 million of neighbors’ debts | CNN Actor Michael Sheen has bought $1.3 million of his neighbors’ debts and written them off using $129,000 of his own money.

The actor Michael Sheen used all his money to start a fake debt collecting business, buy 900 people in Wales's debt, and excused it. If Musk bought ALL $194 billion in medical debt in the U.S. and excused it in the same way, he'd still be the world's riches man by hundreds of billions of dollars.

I have a few friends with smart watches and I should have started openly mocking them much sooner. I'm going to start now.

Even if you're not someone who spends a lot of time in cinemas trying not to lose it whenever someone's wrist suddenly lights up during a movie, the smart watch is an awful invention, and it's obviously helped normalise meta glasses which beautiful women worldwide must destroy with their bare hands.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BOARD ***************** Investigation of: LOSS OF THE SUBMARINE TITAN IN THE NORTH ATLANTIC OCEAN ON JUNE 18, 2023 * * * * * * Accident No.: *********** * * * * * * Interview of: Co-designer/Pilot Deepsea Challenger DCA23FM036 via Microsoft Teams Friday, July 26, 2024

INTERVIEW OF 10 BY LCDR 11 Q. So how did you get yourself started into submersible 12 operations? 13 A. Well, I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic. When I 14 set down the path to make that film, the first thing that I did 15 was arrange to be introduced to the head of the submersible 16 program at the P.P. Shirshov Institute in Moscow, a guy named 17| Professor I. I did that through a mutual friend 18 of ours, a guy named , who is one of the preeminent underwater cinematographers in the world. And had been on a 20 submersible expedition out to Titanic the previous year with the 21 Russians. And that was organized by a Canadian company that was 22 doing an IMAX film which was released under the title Titanica.

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

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

UK: In his first credited feature film performance, director François Truffaut stars in THE WILD CHILD as a kind-hearted doctor who takes in a feral child.

A UK Blu-ray premiere, special features include a new interview with author Ginette Vincendeau and essay by Adam Scovell.
