has anyone ever actually challenged Sorkin in an interview about how his Newsroom brand of historical revisionism (not just casual liberties with history but s/t more naive and evil and outright wrong imo) has poisoned every single work he’s made since

the way i know that the back pain meds are working is that i’m spending minutes ranting annoyingly about bad movies and terrible use of form instead of crying over my back lol

trying to watch a new VHS entry after binging over a dozen Shiraishi films is really making me think “why can’t american found footage cinema commit to the universe and in camera formal work instead of constantly doing terrible glitch work and awkwardly breaking form”

kahn is washed and his THR pieces are always reactionary bullshit (much like his tweets and art) but the one point he does make that actually matters IS that festivals have largely led to fresh artists staying in limbo, esp shorts, in favor of celebrities and their very bad directorial work.

reading letterboxd reviews of people watching shiraishi's films and then complaining about the relatively simple creature/spirit designs/effects (and calling them "unintentionally funny") is both very fun and a reminder that people can't take low budget art seriously if their lives depended on it

i love sondheim's deep space nine

LWAXANA: I have wonderful news. There's a transport for Betazed leaving this afternoon. I'm going home.
ODO: I thought you were planning on having the baby here?
LWAXANA: If I did, I'd end up staying for months and that wouldn't be fair. I've imposed on you enough.
ODO: Lwaxana, you could deliver at any time now, and it's a long way to Betazed. You really should stay.
LWAXANA: I'll miss you, too.
ODO: Then why leave?
LWAXANA: You've gotten used to having me around, haven't you? Oh, you dear, sweet man. Don't you see? What you want is company, someone to take care of.
ODO: Is that so wrong?
LWAXANA: No, of course not. The problem is I want much more than that from you. You see, I can't help it. I'm still in love with you. And as much as I wish that you were in love with me, I know you're not. I could stay, I try to make you fall in love with me, but we both know that won't happen. Then I'd end up resenting you, and our friendship is far too important for me to let that happen. That's why it's better for both of us if I leave now.
(Lwaxana kisses Odo.)
LWAXANA: Goodbye, husband.
ODO: Goodbye, wife.

In some semi-recent news from 2022, when Reygadas was rumored to be filming short films in Oaxaca, people graffitied various places in town with messages like "carlos reygadas, the pedophile and trafficker: if you come to juchitan, we're going to dismember you"

Tragically a lot of the accusations have been scraped from the internet (even in Spanish!) except for the stories of two women who accused him. It's disheartening how often credible allegations of assault are ignored for male directors just because of their clout or """talent""". Fuck Reygadas.

SEXUAL CINÉMA VÉRITÉ: THE MMRC IN CONTEXT Oct. 16-20 In the late 60s, a group of sex-positive San Francisco religious leaders & homophile activists led by the Methodist Rev. Dr. Ted McIlvenna began producing & distributing films under the banner of the Multi-Media Resource Center.

real annoying that, much like shiraishi’s films, this hasn’t been translated and sold in the US and that resale costs are over $100 (for a 2200 yen book and dvd!) very sincerely all filmmakers could learn from this man’s world building and filmmaking skills

i have done so much gay gasping and we're only two episodes in. this one kicks off with koji as a director of a movie called "occultism" and this girl has already accused shohei of being a mass murderer. i hate that my life is just making all the connections to shiraishi's works.
