Go to the supermarket early on Saturday morning with the other geriatrics and the music is The Partridge Family and Rose Royce, among other pleasures. Today's bonus was the checkout woman noting that I was purchasing fennel and leeks. She said, "You're a good cook," and I said, "I am."

excited to announce my new project, 15 films to be released simultaneously, one film for each member of the Mighty Mighty Bosstones. I felt, and the studio agreed, that this is the only way to do justice to their story. obviously the one about the guy who dances will be a little better than the rest

reminded of a jamie oliver show called 15 minute meals where the only way any of the recipes could be completed in that time was to have assistants helping you and pre-doing things. then he'd serve it all on a fucking board. i watched every minute of it because the theme song was "buffalo stance"

Béla Tarr’s Unbroken Visions
In muckily deliberative masterworks such as “Sátántangó” and “The Turin Horse,” the Hungarian director monumentalized the process of decay and the passage of time.

Based on one of multiple versions of a Pushkin poem, the 1910 film RUSALKA tells the tale of a prince who seduces and abandons a miller's daughter. She throws herself into the river and is reborn as a water nymph, then drowns him on his wedding day and uses his corpse as underwater decor.
