I'm not posting here often, but I will bang the drum for these 1000%. Some of my favorite watches this month:

I think about "What is the WEAKNESS" far more than I care to admit

NO OTHER LAND co-director Basel Adra reporting that the destruction of Masafer Yatta has been increasing over the last few days

Sabrina Carpenter's backless Grammys dress

Shirley MacLaine's backless dress in WHAT A WAY TO GO

Probably meaningless to others, but I'm convinced Sabrina Carpenter's backless Grammys dress had inspiration in one of Shirley MacLaine's numerous looks designed by Edith Head for WHAT A WAY TO GO

Tim Robinson rules

There's not a line Daniel Day-Lewis says in There Will Be Blood that you can't hear in the voice of John Huston as Gandalf in the Rankin-Bass Hobbit. "So if I say I'm an oilman, Bilbo, you'll agree."

‘No Other Land’ Review: A Vital and Wrenching Doc About Israel’s Barbaric Efforts to Expel a Palestinian Community Co-directed by a collective of Israeli and Palestinian filmmakers, this must-see documentary offers a ground-level view of an occupation in action.

still technically without proper distribution, No Other Land *finally* opens for a theatrical run at Film Forum today, and will play at various places across the country over the next few weeks. as urgent and devastating as ever.

my review from last february: www.indiewire.com/criticism/mo...

Reminds me of those boxes they're trying to sell in SHOP AROUND THE CORNER

I like that the ghost in PRESENCE quietly watches Lucy Liu purge her inbox of unwanted emails, because if I was a ghost, I would do the same thing

Quote from Brady Corbet in A Rabbt's Foot: "There's a lot of this straight-edge I think most sex scenes shouldn't be in a movie unless they are purposeful' and that's interesting. I feel completely the opposite. I always think that every movie would be better if they fuck for eight minutes as the credits role."

He's so real

It fucks me up how much George C Scott looks like an I Think You Should Leave sketch in the casting scene in Hardcore

Due to my longtime passionate anti-ninja stance, I’d choose Dragon Sound

Paul Newman looking the coolest anyone's ever looked with silver hair and a short beard/stubble, standing barefoot on the sidewalk, holding 4 St. Pauli Girl beers in his hands. he's wearing tiny white cutoff shorts, his Rolex Daytona, and an orange shirt with white & black stripes on the sleeves that says "GET REALLY STONED drink wet cement."

Same birthday those two fellas, right?

Black and white photo of David Lynch and Isabella Rossellini with Federico Fellini

Somehow I never saw this photo before!

David Lynch and Isabella Rossellini with Federico Fellini on the set of his 1987 film INTERVISTA

Laura Dern on David Lynch is, unsurprisingly, an exquisite read 😭 www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

bratz on IG: bratz Whether it's through Blue Velvet's vivid imagery or the haunting Twin Peaks universe, Lynch always had a passion 4 challenging our perceptions, pushing boundaries, and creating iconic moments that will impact pop culture forever in his super stylin', weird, and wonderful world We love you David Lynch!

the bratz tribute to david lynch is so moving

This scene, and the one of him listening to Beth playing the piano, break me wide open like the Ents releasing the river 😭

AI can't think. it can't feel. it can't watch a film and respond to it the way a person can. it can only work in terms of the sounds and images it is fed. that simply isn't how people – even the ones who make bad art – work
