Transfer, 1968 by William Anastasi whitney.org/collection/w...

literally this meme:

Two Minnesota solar farms seeded native wildflowers under their panels, and 5 years of counting revealed native bees had multiplied twentyfold, then crossed the fence to pollinate the neighbour's soybeans

It is very surreal that I can now say I've written a booklet essay for a Criterion Collection release. It was an absolute joy to work with everyone at the company. You can read the essay now on their website: www.criterion.com/current/post...

John Carpenter has released a statement on the passing of Sam Neill: "The world has lost a remarkable actor, father, farmer, and friend. Thank you, Sam, for your extraordinary work, kindness, and the memories."

As someone who really likes bagged salad the American Century of Humiliation is kinda fucking me up

WE DID IT — thanks to you, we’ll be restoring four films that we think you’re really going to love. Since we’ve still got a full week left, we want to take things further: if we can raise another $10k, we’ll be able to strike a new 35mm print of PUMPING IRON II. www.kickstarter.com/projects/mus...

RIP Mary Morello

let us not forget one of his greatest roles

RIP

Perhaps overshadowed today by the tragic news about Sam Neill, but we also lost another great actor today: Wai Ching Ho. A well-kent face most widely known for playing as Matriarch crime boss Madame Gao in the Marvel Defenders shows, and the voice of Grandma in Turning Red.

Sam Neil has so many great performances that it feels almost reductive to focus on one scene. Except it's one of the most iconic scenes in movie history and all of it, The groundbreaking CGI, the sweeping John Williams score *doesn't* work without the authentic joy and wonder of Neill's performance

just such a lovely guy

Actor Sam Neill had that idea when he played an Australian astronaut in the film "Event Horizon" (1997) set in 2047. He asked for that design, saying he thought by 2047 Australia would celebrate its Indigenous history. #InvasionDay

Jazz on a Strip Begone Dull Care, a 1949 short film: an experiment in visual music. McLaren and Lambart paint and engrave directly onto the film stock, creating a visual representation of the jazz music performed by the Oscar Peterson Trio.

I wish more journalists would point out that Sen. McConnell and Rep. Tom Kean (missed 4 months of work) are/were essentially on paid sick & medical leave. The same employment protection they’ve spent their careers blocking other Americans from having.

Mainstream Respectable opinion is that people joking about a bad person's death represents a culture of cruelty, but really it represents a culture of impunity. It's a coping mechanism for watching someone do evil their whole life and never seeing consequences

Anyway, Wendy Carlos is still alive and that's wonderful 💜

lindsey graham was a slimy little creep who never saw a country full of brown people he didn’t want to bomb. good riddance

honestly these are pretty good

If you go to your account settings, you can export your data. If Letterboxd gets sold, that'll likely go away. Get your data and prepare to jump ship! -> letterboxd.com/settings/data/

so one thing we've been hearing as we go around the country interviewing people at independent theaters is that letterboxd has definitely been a factor in young people getting into going to theaters, especially independents with curated programming

letterboxd is pretty much the only social app i actively like not just tolerate. praying to the cinema gods it somehow doesn’t get completely ruined 🙏

Every so often I get to think of something that is not awful. I interviewed Henry freaking Rollins about his quest with Ian MacKaye and a few other schemers to revive Vengeance Records, The Cramps’ record label: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

New @junkfilterpod.bsky.social: at 34 years old, she became the governor of the state she was born and raised in. And now her life is a movie. Of course I’m referring to ELLA MCCAY. My guest? @mobute.bsky.social. CW: The sex scarf scene is discussed. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/j...

These tragic deaths underscore the urgent need to do more to address traffic violence. Every vote against safer streets and every delay in implementing them puts more lives at risk.

Statement from @bikeboston.bsky.social, @streetsboston.bsky.social, and @walkmass.bsky.social about Louisa Gag, who was hit and killed by a driver today. Yet another life taken because our society and leaders refuse to address the destruction wrought by cars.

Every cyclist death is heartbreaking, but it hits even harder when it's an advocate like this. It's infuriating and saddening. These deaths, especially on roads that are known to be dangerous, are simply policy choices.
