Or you could just talk to them. With kindness.

easy to eye-roll at Herzog's oft-cited claim that his favourite of his documentaries is Fitzcarraldo but his best narrative features exist at the intersection of fact and fiction; here the near-anthropological material is much more interesting than the courtroom drama

in further Herzog/Fury Road cross-pollination, Hugh Keays-Byrne shows up briefly in Where the Green Ants Dream, as does co-writer Nick Lathouris (and of course WtGAD stars series veteran Bruce Spence)

just heard reference made to Belize and thought 'who is it that's from Belize, is it Jeffrey Wright?' then realised 'no, he just played Belize in Angels in America'

straight from Coppola, Dean Tavoularis has died

if I didn't already know what Zendaya looked like I genuinely would not be able to tell which of these women is supposed to be the young one

I will take Basement Jaxx's maximalist vulgarity over Sophie Ellis-Bextor's ersatz elegance any day of the week

The Japanese poster for “Kingpin” (1996)

the WHAT

we had to do presentations on any subject of our choosing at work as a team exercise and as everyone who went before me talked about their own fears, loves and other personal things I began to fear I'd misjudged the room with six minutes on the links between Shakespeare, Welles, and The Replacements

Wes Streeting’s repulsive square head floating over the blue Labour orgy like Zardoz

it rules that Herzog released this in the same year as Bad Lieutenant, two films perfectly in conversation with each other

lmao

My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done an all time cast of Great American Weirdos

was met today with the six words every boy dreams of hearing: 'you look like Graham Norton's husband'

becoming a Pizzagate guy over this

I have read better Bluesky posts ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Does this help?

Iain Banks and the way his characters construct identities in relationship to music and film

since it's clear that none of these screenshots are actually from the NYT we are 100% seeing the made-up stories they feed him every day to keep him happy

truly delights me that any reference I ever see online now to Kim Cattrall is inevitably followed somewhere by the video of her scatting, because whenever anyone references Kim Cattrall irl I also immediately say 'HAVE YOU SEEN THE VIDEO OF HER SCATTING'

when I turned 15, I decided what I wanted to do for my birthday was to go see a 15-rated film, legally, for the first time. the only real option was Morgan Freeman vehicle Along Came a Spider. Antitrust, rated 12, was our back-up if we got knocked back. I still have never seen Antitrust.

were it up against anything else I'd be tempted to give it to the Wu for Ghost's line on Rules, delivered three months after 9/11, 'Mr. Bush, sit down, I'm in charge of the war' (and Uzi (Pinky Ring)) of course an all-time banger) but it's up against peak Dylan so

I timed this perfectly for images not working so yes I will be reposting

Velvet Goldmine

Learned from Barry Sonnenfeld’s memoir that Michael Jackson insisted everyone in his vicinity not call him by his name but instead refer to him only as “Number One” or “King” (as in #1 King of Pop).

in three weeks it'll be exactly 12 years since the last Roots album, any chance we can get that Questlove back at some point or

you ever get overwhelmed looking at everything that's leaving Criterion at the end of the month, anyway I've watched three Herzog films today

they played Smashing Pumpkins twice at the pool, and Echo & the Bunnymen

I know it's his nephew for real but every shot or clip I see of Michael makes it look like they've typed 'Michael Jackson young' into a genAI service

Herzog's right btw, this is a masterpiece precisely because it's detached from any commentary and trusts its audience enough to be able to contextualise what he's showing them

more directors could stand to hold their ground like this

Phil Spector biopic that ends with his receiving a call to work on the sessions for Starsailor's 2003 album Silence is Easy

1976 was the year jazz fusion died. Fifty years later, our jazz columnist revisits 21 albums that marked the twilight of the genre. Plus: the best new jazz releases of the month!

the news about Prince dying came out while I was walking home from work. I didn't check my phone the whole time and got home to at least four texts from different friends saying 'I'm so sorry' as if a family member had died.

found my new favorite wikipedia picture on an article

generally representative of a woman www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

testament to how strong a songwriter Nate Amos is that this super deluxe version of Box for Buddy, Box for Star with the entire album covered by different artists taking a track apiece sounds so different from the original, and each track so different from each other, but it all still holds together

Maybe we'll keep some InfoWars content up.

the CBB Presents Kushtopia special, extremely strong work from all involved

they played Pulp (!) and Weezer (!!) and Aztec Camera (!!!) at the pool

ok this is a good poster with a good tagline

this has reminded me that there was a guy a couple of rows ahead of us at IMAX Akira at the weekend who was clearly on Google Maps at several points during the film, I don't know if he was trying to line up Neo-Tokyo with actual Tokyo? he left before the end.
