One of the most heartiest doses of conceptual pathos I’ve ever seen on screen. I think 8 out of 9 episodes made me cry?

Loved all of Fassbender’s little po-faced fishing excursions. Dude’s just out on the lake trying to get some grub
BLACK BAG: Koepp’s the kind of classically oriented writer whose scripts you were probably fed in Screenwriting 101. So of course this is very writerly/self-consciously clever. But who cares when Sodey’s having so much fun playing around in his toolbox of digital economy and light-genre exercise
New Natalia Lafourcade single left me spellbound, who’s surprised? A gobsmacking midpoint between sensitivity and grandeur. She keeps getting closer and closer to a masterpiece with each work. Is this gonna be it? music.apple.com/us/album/can...
Just wrapped up watching Spike Lee’s BAMBOOZLED with some friends. Forgive me for being reductive, but dare I say it, he’s the closest thing we’ve got to an American Godard? Maybe a masterpiece? I’ll sleep on it
Oh jeez, at least 3-4 years? Until they stop deluding themselves into believing a play-in spot is “competing,” they’re gonna be spinning their wheels in the mud
I’m gonna kick around a crackpot NBA prediction, since we’re fresh out of all star weekend: Westbrook’s getting his ring this year
Just watched PINOCCHIO. Cried. An unimpeachable portrait of the human condition. The lighting, when you wish upon a star, the whale rescue, everything! Oh how I crave for a modern Disney script as economical and potent as this one
An Open Letter to Google:
Dear Google
Please let me turn off AI overview. Whenever I use your search engine there’s a high chance of your AI system giving me useless information, vaguely pertaining to what I’m actually looking for.
Thanks
One of the rare scores that just exudes “masterpiece” onto the film, which Hana-bi unequivocally is
Spent a decent chunk of my day relistening to Joe Hisaishi’s sublime Hana-bi score. Maybe my favorite in his whole catalog?
The everyday struggles of seeking out obscure foreign cinema. I couldn’t find a working torrent for the 2001 Argentinian film LA LIBERTAD. So now I’m watching a 480p version with built-in Turkish subtitles, while using the in-camera google translate feature whenever there’s dialogue
You know it’s a beautiful Saturday evening when the Applebees parking lot is full
NICKEL BOYS: An instantaneous benchmark for American cinema. Sobbed profusely through those final 5 minutes and all the way through the credits. Ghosts in the cupboards
Incapable of involving other players when he gets the ball
Get Jerami off the court!
A friendly reminder that The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and Three More is a masterpiece
Only two days away now, but I’m absolutely craving to re-experience that library montage in The Brutalist
Blazers basketball is dreadful to watch, night in and night out. Fire Chauncey
Not as good as Apollo 13 (1995)
NOSFERATU: Lots of gorgeously empty formal maneuvers, and a narrative that I haven’t found involving after 5 hours and change, and still don’t after another 2. First time Eggers’ fastidious period focus’ have felt like table dressing and nothing more. It’s fine
Domingo’s fine but everything else is lovely
Whatta run from the late 60s through the early 80s
Wishing a lovely day to my dear friend Larry Fong
