"Kids, you tried your best and failed miserably. The lesson is, never try" cause whenever I fail a task that's the lesson I never take from the experience.
Spent hours packing up and moving my extensive book and movie collection for my move out day Monday but the promise of seeing Harold and Maude in the theaters tonight with my best friends makes the sore muscles all worth it.
Her best movie with Robert Taylor which is kinda wild considering this was after their divorce, also shockingly sensual in a way I wasn’t expecting.
the ideal future is one with lots of old trans women in it
Watched the last third of Bridge On the River Kwai last night and now I’m distracting my intrusive thoughts by singing the lyrics to Colonel Bogey March that was added in WWII entitled “Hitler has only got one ball”.
Great day for people who had a poster of Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly in their dorm rooms but never watched Breakfast at Tiffany’s.
Gotta add a little heart to it. Makes all the difference.

It’s always an honor when Frida Cinema uses my posts to advertise screenings

“A film will speak politically whether its makers intend for it to or not, but storytellers shouldn’t be compelled to give neat, prescriptive messaging perfectly calibrated to the moral temperature of an audience.”
Part 2 of my Meet John Doe essay will probably arrive next week, just in time for December. Apologies for the delay to the 4 people who may read it.
Another Thin Man?! In this economy?!
As the year winds down and everyone is playing year-end catch up, please don't overlook Carson Lund's EEPHUS, a meditation on mortality and the transience of time played out during a small town baseball game that is quietly one of the most remarkable films of the year.
Taylor Swift telling her team to pump out another variant with a rare limited acoustic cover of the song where she aped the Jackson 5 cause she can’t let any woman surpass her winning streak
I wish Train Dreams was closer to the stylization of Tree of Life. Would have been way better.
Watched Train Dreams
