Peter Bogdanovich’s Movie of the Week: 52 Classic Films For One Full Year is also a great primer on #film. #Bogdanovich had an unmatched encyclopedic knowledge of 🎥 & reviewed my favorites: The Lady Eve, Only Angels Have Wings, Magnificent Ambersons, The Shop Around the Corner. – at Paris, France

In light of #PeterBogdanovich’s passing, I’m resharing one of two threads I posted with videos from his recent Q&A’s @QuadCinema. This one is of Peter Bogdanovich’s favorite film, the absolute gem that is They All Laughed ❤️ What a loss… – at Paris, France

First time back at @MovingImageNYC in 2 years (!) to see Jane Campion’s The Piano in 35mm. Last time I saw this in theaters, I was a 9 y/o kid in Paris who loved going to the movies alone.The film had a PROFOUND impact on me, though I was too young to understand what desire was..

Today marks the 24th anniversary of #JeffBuckley's death at age 30. 1997 is also the year I first discovered his music and what would quickly become my all-time favorite song: Sweet Thing (a Van Morrison cover). youtu.be/3f08Erq5EK8 via @YouTube

Thinking of this beautiful passage from Tintern Abbey by #Wordsworth

“We rip out so much of ourselves to be cured of things faster than we should that we go bankrupt by the age of thirty and have less to offer each time we start with someone new. But to feel nothing so as not to feel anything - what a waste!” This scene... youtu.be/BoTOd-j28Lw

Couldn’t have picked a more beautiful, fitting film to end my 13-month hiatus from the movies! #Tarkovsky’s Mirror resonates more deeply in light of the pandemic’s continuing distortion of time and blurring of memories... Thank you @FilmLinc and @janusfilms for this experience🙏

To #TexAvery, “cartoon bodies were elastic, in a constant state of flux, and not only because of what’s being done to them with weapons. They were extensions of emotions and sensations.Characters change colors or burst into pieces when they’re surprised, scared, or even aroused.”

“Like a long-lost relationship, a timeless piece of art shapes and informs you and your experiences and the way in which you view the world. In the words of William Faulkner, ‘the past is never dead. It’s not even in the past.’”

“Witnessing Daffy Duck coming apart at the seams as his world was literally deconstructed in front of him by the almighty artist, who ultimately turns out to be his arch-nemesis Bugs Bunny — it was sheer genius!” Ross Bollinger of #Pencilmation on #DuckAmuck 🙏 @amid & @dudeydok

“People are complaining about taking down monuments, but our entire built environment is a monument to a deeper racial ideology. The highway systems (...) are monuments to a particular racial ideology (...)This is why [Baldwin] always understood the problem to be a moral one.”

To combat the physical effects of #loneliness, researchers found one thing that worked: "eudaimonic well-being, which is a sense of purpose and meaning (...) of a commitment to some kind of self-transcendent goal greater than your own immediate self-gratification." cc @sbkaufman

Super cool new #opticalillusion 🤯 – at Manhattan, NY
