it’s been said a million times but an enormously untested filmmaker was given the task of adapting three(!) of the most beloved books of all time and he turned out three(!!) basically perfect movies in a row. how did he do that. how on earth did he do that.

Not sure why some people are so shocked over Lupita Nyong'o's casting in 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘖𝘥𝘺𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘺. Christopher Nolan is known for his attention to detail, and since the source material describes Helen of Troy as the most beautiful woman in the world, he cast the most beautiful woman in the world.

I took a Middle Eastern film class a few semesters ago and Jafar Panahi’s TAXI really blew me away. I was actually late to class that day so I walked in 10 minutes into the film. I was missing some context but I was still enraptured by the vast world he created within the confines of a taxi.

The Rehearsal is genuinely profound and pushes the boundaries of what television can be. Nathan Fielder is one of the most interesting artists working today. This most recent episode is the hardest I’ve laughed at TV in a while. It also had me in more tears than last week’s Last of Us episode.
