watching the testament of ann lee in 70 mm the same day it got totally blanked at the oscars was quite something, esp when one thinks about how they received the inferior brutalist; mona fastvoldt is definitely the more original and interesting filmmaking voice in that partnership

this tired busted-microwave-ass attempt at reheating jai jai shiv shankar's nachos 💀 embarrassing to watch pritam finally conceding top composer slot to vishal shekhar in such a low-status way

i sure have! (but i don't remember too much about it!)

Dr @lehasard.bsky.social is back on the Let's Talk, Melbourne podcast to deep dive into our favourite guncles career. We are recording 2 episodes on Karan Johar. We're looking at movies directed by Johar as part of Spotlight on Influential Directors. A glorious guest talks abt a glorious director.

saw an old white dude speeding down lake shore drive in a classic convertible with the top down, that's basically punxsutawney phil not seeing his shadow combined with the first sakura tree bloom of the year as far as chicago-specific augurs of spring go

the white lotus staff uniforms kinda giving a bode moment

literally nothing about bollywood is good right now except this boy's commitment to sluttiness 🤲🏾

yes! i remember this as well!

hello!

had fully expected to have a strong response to the room next door, given that almodovar is my favorite director and swinton a lifechanging artistic influence (orlando baby) and that physical pain is a dominant part of my life but wow this film felt almost unbearably personal

idk if people who don't super know about nineties pop culture realize what a big and buzzy and culture-dominating star demi moore was; like this cover was one of the most famous photos of that decade and she was the highest paid actress of all time for a while

thank you, vik! 💖✨

he's handsome but v clammy

tysm vishal!!! 💖✨

nosferatu 🥱

i see a lot of feature not bug talk ("film is a visual medium! the bad dialogue is intentional! it reveals a childlike sincerity!") when it comes to cheesy/clunky movie dialogue and that's ok but god i miss actually polished witty carefully considered ADULT language in the movies

liked all we imagine as light a good deal!

netflix is so ??? yesterday i went on and the number one movie was something that looked like a cheapie hand that rocks the cradle crossed with m3gan, starring megan fox and the italian guy from that pandemic-era euro softcore 50 shades ripoff. so i looked it up and it had made 245k in theaters?

big day for online noise centered on diverting, largely insignificant spectacles perpetuated by wealthy, mysterious, ethically suspect parties with outsize appeal to a homosexual audience (i def think shooter discourse>> golden globes discourse overall)

Sridevi Top 17 (part 1) The first half of this epic Sridevi ranking

I had to release the latest episode of Bollywood Drafts in 2 parts bc my pod publisher didn’t allow such a large file 😂 we just love Sridevi that much! @lehasard.bsky.social bollywood-drafts.pinecast.co/episode/fbe5...

uh please look at this incredible (ferragamo fw24 coded?) fit on parveen babi in amar akbar anthony

three of the greatest leading ladies of all time, three of the greatest "accurate accent work? never heard of her" leading ladies of all time

wicked was fun i liked jonny bailey's ass in those pants and the part that was like romy and michelle's high school reunion

feels weirdly unpleasant hearing all these cis people saying "do not comply!!!" and "resist" to trans people about the bathroom bans

like, are y'all gonna pay the bounties? pay for bail? pay for lawyers? make sure the cops don't brutalize us?

politics hasn’t ended and hard things are hard. i am NOT saying that there are “guardrails” or that trump will be stopped by some other force. i am saying that everything can be a battle if his opponents choose to make it one.

finally watched mom for the sri episode of the bollywood drafts podcast (hadn't watched it before because graphic rape movies are just hard for me plus i couldn't look at a sri photo let alone watch her films for a year after her passing) and my god what a devastating all-timer of a performance

bruhhh

lmaooooo i really do be saying absolute nonsense
