I was pleasantly surprised to discover that Lars Ulrich, a far more annoying guy than James Hetfield, doesn't like his politics either.

I’ve thought a lot of the ‘woke 1’ discourse is rather silly but this…. astounding (and omg-d so messy) article does show how many people use social concepts and theories meant to describe aspects of entire societies as an abusive, hyper individualist hammer to socially bully and ostracise.

Devastating: I finally watched the movie where Clint Eastwood has a pet monkey and somehow it wasn't as fun as I thought it would be. :(

There's more visual inventiveness in a random episode of 'Columbo' than in most modern American movies.

Tsimshatsui, Hankow Rd photographed by Greg Girard in 1974

a nighttime photograph of '70s neon Hong Kong - almost half of the photo is dominated by a black car in the foreground, seen from the front (a black Jaguar, I believe) reflecting red and electric blue neon. the street itself has an almost purple hue, most of the night sky obscured by pink, blue, and orange neon signs that reads BAR and Club Copacabana. to the left of the car, there appears to be a long line of hot yellow light streaking past, as if a long exposure captured another car driving past

Also: my favourite Possession anecdote from Sam Neill is that the vibe was so intense with Adjani and Zulawski that as soon as shooting finished each day he'd go back to his hotel room and lock himself in, get massively stoned and listen to Genesis on repeat

watched 'The Hit' (1984) recently. Easy to forget that Stphen Frears used to make movies that were a little more hard-edged than they are now, and he was once quite the arranger of sublime images.

The best moment was when he was asked what "change" meant he said it meant "changing the things that need changing and that is the change I will bring about." Just a perfect summary of how much of a middle manager void he was.

I’ve been thinking a lot about the shifting baseline concept as applied to everyday life. People in their 20’s now have no memory of highly functional systems, products (from blenders to sweaters) that were so well made you could hand them down across generations, or even helpful customer service.

They're saying 'Obsession' (1976) did better at the box office than 'Star Wars' (1977)? That can't be right.

Christopher Nolan has been asked this before, about why he doesn’t have email or a cell phone, and it’s always men asking the question who never make the connection that Nolan’s wife Emma Thomas, who is also the producer on his films, likely handles most if not all of these communication issues

There's no way of building genuine progressive movements without grappling with universal human problems of shitty behaviour and taking pleasure in acting righteous while hurting others. The longer I've been doing the work, the less value I place on stated beliefs, and the more on lived behaviour.

I hadn't seen this before. This is pretty remarkable. Earth and Moon in one NASA photo. ht @astrokatie.com

Earth and Moon from DSCOVR NASA's Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) aboard the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) satellite captured this unique view of the Moon as it moved in front of the sunlit side of Earth last month. This view shows the fully illuminated “dark side” of the moon that is never visible from Earth. Ian Regan processed this version of the image to account for the Moon's motion.

Of all the New Labour guys, Mandelson is the most interesting (derogatory). A career of continuously failing upwards, each scandal more catastrophic than the last…

'No Other Choice' is great, of course. Even in the moments without gags, I found myself laughing because of the sheer cleverness of its camera angles and scene transitions. There are things Park is doing here as virtuoso as Spielbergo and De Palma.

In the 2010s, the Icelandic tv station Channel 2 accidentally added subtitles from a gritty crime drama to an episode of Teletubbies. I have translated some of the highlights

A screenshot of Lala and Po from the teletubbies. The screenshot is clearly taken from someone's phone, as the borders of the tv can be seen, as well as glimpses into the apartment behind them. Po is in bed wrapped up in a blanket. The text below them reads "I know you were high at my mother-in-laws funeral..."

More screenshots from the Teletubbies. Lala seems to be upset with a terrified Po. the text below reads "Did you kill the dog? Why would you do that?!"

A third screenshot from the Teletubbies, this time the same scene as before. Po is wearing an apron while Lala seems to still be upset at him. The text below reads "You're nothing but a failure of a man."
