Stromboli's ending is transcendent, but it also entails a sweeping renunciation. Ingrid Bergman looks down with contempt at her husband's village, and looks at herself with equal contempt. Like Anna in L’avventura, she finds that her relationship with reality has curdled, and she cries ‘Enough!’

The problem with a $5 purchase is that it’s such a small amount of money that it doesn’t count, but if you do it twice it can quickly add up to $10, and that’s actually real money

I know Tate McRae has all the stats to make her a Main Pop Girl at this point but I just simply cannot see her as one. Something about her just makes me mentally file her next to Madison Beer or someone like that, someone who people tell you is famous but isn't

iPhone face is a really dumb critique devoid of any actual substance. I was watching A STAR IS BORN '54 last night, and went, oh Addison Rae could play this person.

Fucked up that Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio essentially was only a major actress for 2 decades, but what a 2 decades

Going to bars and meet more interesting people going on Monday and Thursday nights than Friday and Saturday, even when they are busier like my favorite bar

Why would anyone like me? I don’t even like myself that much of the time
I asked this before over at The Old Place and the answers delighted me. So again:
Who is an artist you admire who you suspect would not like you if they met you personally?
I think Peter Dinklage is fantastic. I would absolutely get on his last nerve. He'd be looking for the door while we spoke.

I love AFTER THE HUNT and HONEY DON’T as movies that create their worlds and rhythms with conflict but are also light on their feet and milieu, while something like EDDINGTON feels like it must come to climax on something gargantuan and totemic

"Temptation" is New Order's best song in the sense that it's the platonic ideal of what a pop song should feel like

The only exception is Quatrich and his relationship with his son, improbably making Quatrich "Avatar"'s first interesting character. I hate this franchise with all my heart but I love love love the scene where Quatrich finds the first Quatrich's dead body. This one reaction shot is ACTING, friends

NOUVELLE VAGUE ‘25 the best movie I’ve seen about the cumulative making of a film
Other superlatives:
Set atmosphere (BEWARE OF A HOLY WHORE)
Photography (IRMA VEP 1 and 2)
Film acting (LA FEMME PUBLIQUE)
Editing (ALL THAT JAZZ)
Sound (MODERN ROMANCE)
Writing (ADAPTATION)

Really loved THE MASTERMIND (2025, Kelly Reichardt). I don’t do a “top 10 favorite shots of the year,” but I’m thinking I should now, but if I did, there would be like 8 contenders from here. Blauvet and Reichardt are on another
