NYFF

^ *three days. Forgot it’s Tuesday now

I implemented precisely none of that messiness during my teen years btw, which was probably to the detriment of my mental health, but I made up for it with a vengeance in my twenties

I’m turning 35 in four days but I feel no existential angst about it, surely in part because I’ve spent plenty of my young adulthood making an absolute mess of myself

Oh shit oh fuck

Karen Black

Sometimes you rewatch COME BACK TO THE FIVE AND DIME JIMMY DEAN, JIMMY DEAN and you start to think it’s one of the best movies you’ve ever seen

Thankfully this ain’t my first rodeo (it’s my tenth, in fact) and I’ve gotten my answer early enough to squeeze in an anticipatory Old Navy run

Just performed the customary ritual of trying on all my NYFF-appropriate autumnal wardrobe items in an attempt to answer the perennial question: “which of these still fit me well enough that I won’t embarrass myself during on-stage appearances and professional soirées?” and I have been duly humbled

Peter Strickland is the director I often point to… throw in Malick, maybe Campion…

Genuinely delighted to know I’m not the only person in our field with this attitude! I’ve been harping on to friends in bars about ASMR-as-cinema for years but long ago accepted that I would probably never manage to convince anyone to take the idea seriously 😞

If that ain’t cinema

Of-the-moment straight-to-Hulu biopic of GentleWhispering

[unironically] first they came for late-night comedy

Following the money literally never misses
