Saw a billboard for a “adult lifestyle expo”, which is maybe just a rebranded Sexpo? Being an adult is a lifestyle now, apparently.

I really hope my friends and followers in NYC are taking the opportunity to see Douglas Keeve's UNZIPPED on the big screen thanks to its 4K rerelease. The greatest, funniest and most stylish fashion doc of all time (helped, yes, but mimicking MADONNA: TRUTH OR DARE's style). A '90s classic.

Sad to hear about the recent passing of the great Australian avant-gardist Arthur Cantrill. This, of course, follows the death of his wife and creative partner Corinne not too long ago. Discovery some of their works on 16mm at the Artist Workshop this year has been a real treat. Vale to a great.

Let me guess, all the children (and now grandchildren) will treat her appallingly with a meanspiritness that Americans will somehow justify as “what all families are like” before a wholly unjustified, overly sweet third act where they learn to love her…

Was in Darwin last week and had a wonderful six days swimming in pools at the waterfalls and with crocs. 2 big questions remain: 1. Why was Eagle Eye Cherry’s “Save Tonight” the song that I heard played the most on local radios and at fairs? 2. Why is there a womenswear store called INFIDELITY?!?
Storefront called Infidelity.

Finally submitted my Vulture Movies Fantasy League ballot. Honestly just seemed foolish to not put THE ODYSSEY on there (even without the box office points). I reckon those two docs at the bottom could win a lot of critics prizes even if only one (HARLEM) seems like Oscar's taste.

I’ll never understand why documentary filmmakers are so obsessed with using a 1.85:1 as opposed to 16:9. People heads always getting chopped off! And when using archival footage that’s usually 4:3, it can make for jarring viewing—black stripes over there, now up there, back there and over and over.

DREAMS IN NIGHTMARES: Shatara Michelle Ford’s latest is a road movie unlike any you've ever seen. Joyous and thoughtful, it's a visually stunning ride with a scene-stealing Jasmin Savoy Brown.

One thing I see a lot in modern celebrity interview videos that do the rounds is that they so often have the interviewer go, “you have said…”. Quoting other interviews because actors and filmmakers have to do so many of these and all on camera so they’ve got nothing knew to say.

I know nothing about this Ella Langley person but if you told me she was AI I’d believe you. “Choosin’ Texas” sounds like some content-scraped bullshit. On Spotify, where I just listened to it for the first time, it moved into “Be Her” which sounds the exact same. People need to get some taste back!

My favourite Dolly Parton song is actually “What a Heartache”, in particular the version from (of all things) RHINESTONE. Shout out to the re-record of “Light of a Clear Blue Morning” from STRAIGHT TALK, which I think clears the original ever so slightly. open.spotify.com/track/6BeHCf...

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

Decided to skip MIFF this evening, and instead went to see CAMERA BUFF (AMATOR) at the Krzysztof Kieślowski season that's just started at the Classic/Lido. Not only was it perhaps the best thing I've seen all year, it also means I've finally seen the film behind one of my fave Polish posters ever.

I am generally skeptical of boycotts. But I don't think one can overstate the degree to which J.K. Rowling has chosen to make loathing of trans people and cruelty about them into her primary identity. Nobody on earth will suffer from skipping the Harry Potter series. Let's not make her richer.

The breakdown and delayed drop around the 5min mark of that Madonna and Kylie remix (the full edit, not radio cut) is genuinely one of the best individual moments to have come out of this entire CII music era. That elongated repetition and then bam right into that soaring Kylie vocal. So euphoric.

Randomly found an original French copy of the soundtrack to Fassbinder’s LOLA in the second hand record rack at one of my local charity shops. Like, okay! Among the Mozart compilations, Nana Mouskouri LPs, and Rodgers & Hammerstein soundtracks, this was just hanging out for $2.

Madonna and Kylie together (again, technically, but not on new music before) is making me so emotional. How do you even describe the colossal effect each of them has had on my life and that of culture. They are indeed a love sensation.

I see that now people are pivoting towards THE ODYSSEY not being a perfect adaptation, which makes me laugh because technically every edition of the book has been an adaptation to some degree, as myths are want to do, changing with translations and interpretations. People are so stupid.
