Aki Kaurismäki on Terrence Malick: "The first one [Badlands] was OK. That was in the 1970s. After that they were Christian bullshit."

Same way everyone has to pretend to be afraid of clowns. I simply feel neutral about them

I feel like sitting in the middle seat on a aeroplane has supplanted the word "moist" as the most common thing people pretend to hate

Very moved by this sentence from an old obituary for Roger Shattuck:

"A week before his death he was still ordering books through interlibrary loan".

RIP Michael Roemer. Absolutely mind-blowing to consider that he made his first film in 1949. For context, THE THIRD MAN, ADAM'S RIB and WHITE HEAT were released that year. Hell, Jean-Pierre Melville made his debut in '49 too with LE SILENCE DE LA MER!
