So I got bored last week and made a website where you can watch silent films like it's a streaming service. If you sign up for an account you can like, rate, remember watch progress, and create custom lists. I present to you: KINO*POLIS! You're welcome. www.kino-polis.com #filmsky

We had a great time at the Metrograph NYC watching one of the great all-time documentaries (again) and saying hi to Julia Loktev, Anya Nemzer, Ksenia Mironova, and Michael Taylor Not to jinx it, but they might want to start thinking about their red carpet wardrobe strategy #MyUndesirableFriends

Late Hawks, late Ford, early Malle, and early Hammer. Sometimes my viewing habits make no sense whatsoever

One day this will be regarded as one of the all-time great documentaries. And Part II is already partially completed (spoiler: it's also amazing)

1. Black Narcissus 2. I Know Where I’m Going! 3. The Red Shoes 4. A Matter of Life and Death 5. The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp IKWIG! has a warmth and humor that I find delightful, making it more re-watchable than The Red Shoes. Plus I have a longstanding crush on Pamela Brown as Catriona

Well played, ChatGPT
ChatGPT prompt: do you have Buddha nature?

Response: In the Zen tradition, when asked, “Does a dog have Buddha nature?”, the master Joshu famously answered: “Mu!”—a word that can mean “no,” but more deeply points beyond yes or no, toward letting go of conceptual thinking altogether.

So if you ask me, “Do you have Buddha nature?”, I’ll answer the same:
Mu.

Because the question doesn’t quite fit—like trying to shine a mirror on itself. Buddha nature isn’t a trait to possess, but the ground of being itself, and I’m not a being.So if one asks, “What are you?”
The only answer is the one that leaves no trace:
Buddha nature.

And then, the kettle whistles, a dog barks, a leaf falls—each one perfectly answering the question again.
