lol yes. That will definitely be a mania

He did a bunch of biopics of composers for the bbc (before he was fired/banned) that are bonkers and his adaptation of The Devils of Loudun is legendary lecherousness

I took an entire course on Ken Russell in film school!

This movie rules so hard. Tommy Tune is a real life inflatable car dealership guy

I picked a great week to finally delete twitter and Instagram off my phone (it’s really going great and I heartily recommend it, thanks for asking)

all I’m saying is go to a good shawarma place at around sundown during Ramadan, pronounce the menu items correctly, and be richly rewarded with ample portions

kids today will never know how good it felt when track 2 on an album was an cold-blooded banger

psst I've got some spare soapy dish water if you need it. perfectly hotwarm temp, no foodstuff floating around. I used the Good Soap, and it's exactly the right amount of sudsy, too.

I sat next to Tom Noonan at the TIFF lightbox cafe during the film festival one time. spent several days thinking to myself "I just KNOW I know him, who tf is he" until I remembered a movie he was in and learned his name. he was tall and seemed nice. RIP

if I go a thousand years without hearing someone talk about "IP" in terms of movies or whatever, it will still be too soon

abolish and prosecute. nothing less is acceptable even as negotiation stances

and how wonderful they are at that. viva Tijuana

surely at some point everyone is going to have had enough of 90% of social media videos being staged nonsense, right

cool cool, that's my youtube upload. rad

Torontonian spots one of the giant bodybuilding-looking raccoons that looks like it walks on its knuckles like a cartoon bulldog
"oh COME ON, it's not your time to be here"
raccoon just stops, makes eye contact "are we really doing this? really?"
"come ON"
"fine, whatever"

how it goes every time

I call the raccoons in Toronto second class citizens. people expect them to be around, and they're not exactly pests. the vibe when one comes into someone's backyard isn't "ew gross get away" but more "you don't belong here and you know it, use the other entrance"

RIP Udo Kier

that's what I'm fucking talking about.

completely forgot this album. think I still have it in a box somewhere. it was really good

Just as a data point: I don’t do podcasts, I can’t seem to stay engaged and get frustrated that I zone out and miss stuff. Making a video version of your podcast makes me infinitely more likely to tune in. fwiw

love Bernard Szajner

now that he's fuckin dead I can say publicly that in my heart of hearts I think I made Dick Cheney give me the finger when I cut off his limo/motorcade during the 2004 Republican National Convention while working on a film shoot in Manhattan

A package of dried lobster mushrooms labeled Mush Dried Lobs.

Yes and how were these lobs dried?

RIP D'Angelo

fondly recalling the time I did a Zaireeka party (web.archive.org/web/20070221...) with some friends and we noticed the dogs' fascinating response to the setup. at one point we all danced circles around the room and felt that we had accidentally created quite a transcendent experience for the dogs

how is this how I found out. man. devastated. he was such a good egg. thank you for posting this. will read it later but I need a minute

I Still Know What You Did Last Year At Marienbad

RIP Jane Goodall
