Finished a rough draft of a critical essay, and wrote a little bit of fiction. Will always be grateful for another day that the tap hasn't dried

love the look of 2 OR 3 THINGS I KNOW ABOUT HER. I read that Godard preferred a DP to work with the aperture. I love the shots filmed in daylight, but where the camera is exposed for the background, so the foreground is dimmed. Other times, Coutard dazzles the interiors.

Skeet Ulrich in AS GOOD AS IT GETS

Wrote 596 words on my lunch break

Carradine is just so great in KILL BILL, such an easy command of the language, makes a meal out of every word.

There’s two John Maus’s and they’re both musicians and there’s two Scott Walker’s but one’s a cunt

Wish I could ask dead cinematographers what their job on set was; like what did European cinematographers enact on a set with high-key daylight? One tidbit I read was about the difference of light diffusion between the two DPs on L’ARGENT. But that’s only one detail

I want to live like a person on TV. I want to fill my cup a third of the way with water, end a call with a loved one without any kind of goodbye and then ask the hottest person I’ve ever seen “Are you alright? You look like hell.”

Honestly I like the first and fourth segments of FOUR ROOMS

Never feel more assaulted for who I am than reading Noah Baumbach's wikipedia page and realizing we have 90% the same taste and interests

I’m a very ruminates forlornly kind of person .

They sold da company?

Netflix giving me my dream of living out The Last Picture Show

It may be bias because I just rewatched it, but damn Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is so good. And it's got the best ending of any Frank Oz movie.

I’ve only seen Josh O’Connor in 4 movies, and each new one I think, damn he’s even greater and hotter than before

Chainsaw man movie was good

I’m pumped full of drugs, ask me ngl.link/gray_decoyro...

I’m reading the Mcduffie Leon Static comics for the first time and hitting the bad guy from ratatouille eating faces every time they do something Ditkoesque

more people need to see DJ Christina Hendricks

Letterboxd -> profile -> list -> start a new list Films in which two hot sisters are the sun and the moon Melancholia (2011) Sentimental Value (2025)

SENTIMENTAL VALUE is about how when you have two hot sisters one is the sun and one is the moon

Great tv

If Marty Supreme is a hit, the franchise potential is huge: Marty Ronette, Marty Shirelle, Marty Shangri-La…

New Charli XCX rockumentary has Rosanna Arquette, Hailey Gates, and Arielle Dombasse, just got to love her bisexual taste in actresses

Wong Kar-wai news sucks from a labor perspective, but 1) all his movies be masterpieces and 2) could be just what the Hong Kong screenwriting industry was traditionally built like

Got a Rorschach blot t-shirt but I got banned from wearing it in public for obscenity reasons

Stromboli's ending is transcendent, but it also entails a sweeping renunciation. Ingrid Bergman looks down with contempt at her husband's village, and looks at herself with equal contempt. Like Anna in L’avventura, she finds that her relationship with reality has curdled, and she cries ‘Enough!’

The problem with a $5 purchase is that it’s such a small amount of money that it doesn’t count, but if you do it twice it can quickly add up to $10, and that’s actually real money

TESTAMENT OF ANN LEE trailer made me pregnant

This Laufey album ended on a scary note for 12:25 in the morning

Jason Mantzoukas is a top level blank check guest

I know Tate McRae has all the stats to make her a Main Pop Girl at this point but I just simply cannot see her as one. Something about her just makes me mentally file her next to Madison Beer or someone like that, someone who people tell you is famous but isn't

Lot of times when I run, I imagine myself as a 1940s tap dancer in a musical

iPhone face is a really dumb critique devoid of any actual substance. I was watching A STAR IS BORN '54 last night, and went, oh Addison Rae could play this person.

Fucked up that Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio essentially was only a major actress for 2 decades, but what a 2 decades

This is honestly the most romantic thing you can say to somebody

Going to bars and meet more interesting people going on Monday and Thursday nights than Friday and Saturday, even when they are busier like my favorite bar

Emily Beecham so good and pretty in one scene of HAIL, CAESAR. She needs a resurgence

Why would anyone like me? I don’t even like myself that much of the time

I love AFTER THE HUNT and HONEY DON’T as movies that create their worlds and rhythms with conflict but are also light on their feet and milieu, while something like EDDINGTON feels like it must come to climax on something gargantuan and totemic

"Temptation" is New Order's best song in the sense that it's the platonic ideal of what a pop song should feel like

Zoey Deutch and Aubry Dullin practicing their dancing in NOUVELLE VAGUE is peak Linklater hangout

My mom is so in love with Channing Tatum after ROOFMAN

The only exception is Quatrich and his relationship with his son, improbably making Quatrich "Avatar"'s first interesting character. I hate this franchise with all my heart but I love love love the scene where Quatrich finds the first Quatrich's dead body. This one reaction shot is ACTING, friends

Women think that male and female faces are vastly different because they deep down think that a man without a strong and wide jaw is not really a man

NOUVELLE VAGUE ‘25 the best movie I’ve seen about the cumulative making of a film Other superlatives: Set atmosphere (BEWARE OF A HOLY WHORE) Photography (IRMA VEP 1 and 2) Film acting (LA FEMME PUBLIQUE) Editing (ALL THAT JAZZ) Sound (MODERN ROMANCE) Writing (ADAPTATION)

Great use of Carey Mulligan in INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS as a person who never smiles.

Really loved THE MASTERMIND (2025, Kelly Reichardt). I don’t do a “top 10 favorite shots of the year,” but I’m thinking I should now, but if I did, there would be like 8 contenders from here. Blauvet and Reichardt are on another

Walking out the AMC Metatron makes me feel mine I’m in SHOWING UP or PLAYTIME.

i would never say this as carly rae jepsen was releasing some of her best music during that time period
