Hell of a movie. The overriding mood for me was akin to the evil spirits in a Korean or Japanese folk horror film. Pattinson is terrific.

"The Promiseland" was released in early 1986, and was another record where Nelson arranged several songs by other writers. A lot to like on this record, and it's also worth listening to because it closes with version of Bach's "Minuet in G" for some reason!? open.spotify.com/album/2WHSNS...

I'm at NYFF to see All of a Sudden and they're playing the Drive My Car score in the auditorium before it starts, which is incredibly weird for me because this score is what I listen to ~95% of the time when I'm writing

Seconded. WINTER KILLS is truly insane, and not in the tepid manner of most "edgy" fare today. It's also one of very few films where the story of its making is as nuts as the movie itself, and worth a dramatization or documentary.

Now that we're on the eve of another Iñárritu film, here's a flashback to an article I wrote in 2015 about how Birdman lifts the premise/star from a better, more obscure comedy written by the novelist Don DeLillo. Shoutout to my old editor @scottmeslow.bsky.social. theweek.com/articles/442...

Stop me if you've heard about this movie: Michael Keaton plays a playwright who can't catch a break. His play is about to begin its Broadway run, and his star actor is pathologically unreliable. A theater critic threatens to make or break the show. The playwright's rebellious daughter seethes with resentment. His ex-wife thinks he's a loser. His charms are lost on his mistress.

Believe it or not, I'm not talking about Birdman, the new Michael Keaton-starring film drawing rave reviews, Oscar buzz, and breathless hyperbole about the resurrection of Keaton's career. I'm talking about Game 6, an unjustly overlooked collaboration between Keaton, screenwriter Don DeLillo, and director Michael Hoffman that was released almost 10 years ago. Birdman isn't just a retread of Game 6; it's a flashier but inferior version of a story that had more weight the first time around.

The star of Game 6 is DeLillo's script, which is distant and wry, full of repeated lines that get funnier and more profound the more they're heard. But Michael Hoffman is a relatively workmanlike director, and in Game 6 he's smart enough to let the script and actors do the work for him. His camera gives the performers breathing room; there are many long takes, but they never call attention to themselves.

Birdman, on the other hand, is full of experimentation by director Alejandro González Iñárritu. The film is meant to look like one long continuous shot, which forced the actors and the production crew to block the takes with dizzying complexity. There's no denying that Alejandro González Iñárritu has more talent than Hoffman. Unfortunately, that talent sometimes tips over into excess. Birdman suffers from several needlessly artsy flourishes: an inexplicable jazz drummer, a literal flight of fancy, and a condescending special effects sequence. Whereas Birdman is a self-congratulatory visual assault, Game 6 trusts the intelligence of its audience.

Statue of James Watt. In his right hand he holds a telescopic stick with a frame at the top; in his left he holds a flat object about the size of a large smartphone. He is scowling at the possibly-not-a-smartphone as if he is tempted to yeet it into the sea. On that basis, it probably _is_ a phone.
