Do You Remember: George Magazine – When John F. Kennedy Jr. Tried to Blend Politics, Celebrity, and ‘90s Cool JFK Jr. wanted to shake up how we talked about politics. Did it work?

Persephone: Thank you.

Brilliant film. Horribly prescient.

Sturgill Simpson just put his new album on YouTube. Feels like the disco-tinged ZZ Top-esque sibling to Sound and Fury. I dig it.

Been hired by Paramount to write a G.I. Joe movie.

by my count there are only 23 films directed or co-directed by women on this list. It just makes me so dispirited that user based lists almost always have this bias for a myriad of reasons.
