the revolution is here, i was watching him live on FOX for an hour in LA in a conference room talking about his plans to revolutionize FEMA, saying all the things that more careful deliberate politicians won't say. sycophants backing him up. one official tried to argue back and he got pummeled...

was only an accompanier. arm in arm walking down light soaked freezing east village streets bundled in coats trying not to throw up. came out right as rain

the deep freeze has ended, everyone's emerging back onto the streets, there's a certain festivity to it

never heard of them, thanks, that could be a good thread to follow

the ones that were highlights things that have taken my consiousness to another level: tarkovsky, memoria, jeanne dialmann, gasoline rainbow, aftersun, eyes wide shut. all of those did something intense on the affective level for me like they gave me new eyes

it's three and a half hours long. it's an amazing thing to sit through. a kind of brain trap

have you seen jeanne dielman quai de commerce or whatever its called? it's absolutely brilliant and incredibly, deliberately boring

somehow the metrograph audience still, even in solaris, found one opportunity to do a metrolaugh. its such a weird quirk. i remember my english teacher telling me that people in england do that when they go to see shakespeare, make laughing noises so that everyone knows that they get the old...
