was reminded of this long story i wrote earlier this year about The Studio's great second episode, "The Oner," with Sarah Polley

this was a fun one

How ‘The Studio’ Pulled Off That Single-Shot Episode

Seth Rogen and guest star Sarah Polley tell us everything about the complicated process of shooting “The Oner," an episode about the complicated process of filming a long, unbroken take.

key, as in, understand that choice on PTA's part and i think you've gone a long way to understanding the movie

the fact that we don't see why Perfidia first shoots the guard is maybe the key formal choice in One Battle After Another

yeah, incredible episode. rest of the season is wildly uneven and often bad, but the finale is incredible.

saw someone arguing that MTG's anti Israel noises suggest that she's a more reliable moral voice longterm than most centrist Ds, and...like, people really need to acknowledge just how antisemitic she is and what role that plays in her approach to Israel policy. 1

Maron brings some smart fucking analysis

granted, that fits with what Elias is saying, that her use of revolutionary rhetoric is ultimately about her, not any revolution, though of course there's sympathy for her situation

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

last lines of the movie? “Be careful.” “I won’t.”

Willa has a false image of her mom as a hero. she then learns that her mother may have been “bad,” and finally she arrives at a nuanced view of her mom as someone to look up to for her aspirations if not the actual things she did.

i agree it’s critical, but i also think the story is one about aging and passing batons, and in that context the ego of youth is understandable and sympathetic to a point. Question is what we take away from that complex humanity. What’s gifted from it to the next generation.
