significantly more excited imagining a Conclave style movie about the casting than about sentencing one of these guys to a decade of hell in the Bond Dimension

my hopeful prediction is that they won’t paywall movie reviewing but they’ll make a bunch of silly movie-related daily games and then paywall that instead

This has been talked about extensively you’re just 21
OK, I'll bite. If John Cassavetes is so insanely influential and brilliant, why have I not heard about him until recently?
I've been on a side-quest with classic and esoteric movies, mostly through the Criterion collection. I've watched dozens of Criterion closet picks from filmmakers and actors I admire.
They pick Cassavetes films ALL THE TIME. Probably more than any other director except Scorsese. I haven't seen a single Cassavetes film. I don't think I've ever heard anyone talk about a Cassavetes film outside of those videos.
I'm not a slouch on film, I've got a pretty wide spread on what I've seen & what I appreciate. How has Cassavetes slipped through that net so completely for so long?

Letterboxd is literally the best thing that happened to the international arthouse circle
and is slowly becoming one of the best things that happened to the mainstream cinema industry
we really don't appreciate what we get
It’s hard for me to take most critique of Letterboxd as a social platform seriously because it’s one of the only platforms that doesn’t actually use any recommendation algorithms. Your experience with it is entirely dependent on who/what you choose to interact with.

the reason moby-dick remains such a vital piece of human art is that it addresses what is probably one of humanity's greatest collective atrocities, the genocide of the whales, with an ambivalence it cannot itself fully articulate. melville is distraught, but he can't explain why

I need to see this film
Nathan Fielder reveals that Elizabeth Holmes called him from prison last week.
“She had not called me in over six months. I had not heard from her in any way…she asked how I was doing. I asked her if she had seen any stuff about the film coming out and how she felt about it.
She told me she had seen some stuff, but most things she just isn’t seeing, so she’s heard things, but she hasn’t really read anything. And then, at the end, she said to me - ‘I trust you.’ I said, ‘OK, thanks.’”
