It has been restored, and the restored version was on the criterion channel for a couple of months. It looked incredible.

A gorgeous performance in a heartbreaking movie.

See Shoot the Moon and Mrs. Soffel asap. She's phenomenal in both.

And yes to the rest of this. 💔

Eddie Selover @eddieselover.bsky.social · 9h

Yes, and she demonstrated the same fearless lack of vanity in two other masterpieces: Shoot the Moon and Mrs. Soffel.

Ugh.

Certain celebrity deaths are harder to process than others because the person in question was so full of life and creativity and originality that you just assume it's never going to end.

I was privileged to cohabit with Bertie, the world's smartest and sweetest dog, for 15 years. And for 17 years before that, with Leo, a pirate prince among cats. I've loved few people as much as I loved these two gentlemen.

This is Diego blessing Mother Aya at a ceremony in Pisac, 12 years ago. I'd been near the edge a few times before, but this was the first time I strode right toward it, unafraid. Just as the universe can be seen in another person's eye, so the Goddess may be found inside a two-liter plastic bottle.

Sautet understands something that a lot of earlier moviemakers didn't: that as people get older their emotions may be as unresolved as ever. (1976)

Laura Loomer says this is her red line.

WTF IS AMERICA FIRST ABOUT ALLOWING QATAR TO HAVE A MILITARY BASE ON US SOIL?

This is an abomination.

So much for "Make America Safe Again".

By letting funders of HAMAS and the Muslim Brotherhood have a military base on US soil.

Un fucking believable. Just unbelievable.

Never thought l'd see Republicans give terror financing Muslims from Qatar a MILITARY BASE on US soil so they can murder Americans.

I don't think I'll be voting in 2026.

I cannot in good conscience make any excuses for the harboring of jihadis.

This is where I draw the line.

Harpviken's emotion here is very moving. This is how decent, honorable people talk to each other. What a relief.

This album is part of my DNA. It's their best, which is saying something. And I used to own this original master recording edition too!

Eddie Selover @eddieselover.bsky.social · 1d

The best album by the best American band in my opinion. Every track is as potent now as it was 50 years ago.

Sanitized, commercial, much too sunny and clean. But the cast is great, the script is solid and twisty, and what's left of the book is so pungent that the whole thing works. One of my favorite Noirs.

p.s. The idea that showing this on Fox or Newsmax would change the "debate" is absurd. MAGAs love watching people get beat up by uniformed thugs.
