Cinema lost something when we stopped regularly seeing movies about people at train stations. Waiting for people to arrive, seeing them off, it’s the essence of life and relationships given physical expression.

Some posters on the private IMDb message boards offshoots I came up in would post images like this in the “last film seen + rate it” thread and be like “Stemple’s Theorem (or: I Like to See the Sea) - We all know this bad boy. Got it on KG and watched it in 480p without subs. Beautiful. 10/10.”

remember this summer when Wes Anderson released a high-octane existentialist crime comedy that looked like a Sergei Parajanov movie and some people were like "pfft another fuckin one of these, huh"

the unbelievable irony that I don't subscribe to Netflix but just re-upped Paramount+ for two months...

one of the greatest of all songs folks
I know "Appetite" is the one that everyone recommends but "Bonny" is nuts, goddamn

not proud that I could probably recite "Jay's Rap" verbatim--and even some of the dialogue that directly follows it--without having seen the movie in years lol

The studios could make a bunch of money forever working with creative luminaries to remain cultural titans, or they could do this different thing that the computer guys came up with

I just think everyone in Hollywood should pause, take a deep breath, and remember why they do this in the first place: to harness and share the power of the movies

I'm glad smart people are on the film culture implication beat but I don't have the energy to catastrophize every fucked up corporate merger that happens, a trend that's been going on since before I was born. I still remember the hysterical tweets when Filmstruck was discontinued. cinema prevails!
