And when I feel, fair creature of an hour,
That I shall never look upon thee more,
Never have relish in the faery power
Of unrelenting love - then on the shore
Of the wide world I stand alone, and think
Till love and fame to nothingness do sink.

~John Keats

Fuck ai
#starterpack

it is a serious thing
just to be alive
on this fresh morning
in the broken world

~Invitation, Mary Oliver

Dear American citizens, whatever you wish more German citizens would have done in 1933, do that now.

one of the worst takes i’ve ever seen. obviously no one is owed the right to make a living with their creative work. but the fact that distribution systems for art are destroying the economics of being a middle class artist is obviously bad—not just for artists but for anyone who likes consuming art

My #Oscars2025 poster series has started, the next two will be released this week!

First time in general. I‘ve somehow managed to end up in a city with over a million people and not a single iMax theater

Nosferatu (my first iMax screening)

closely followed by A Real Pain and My Cousin Vinny

Starting off my poster series for this year's Academy Awards with the brilliant #TheSubstance by @coraliefargeat.bsky.social.

Each man’s death diminishes me
For I am involved in mankind

~John Donne

In a crowd unfamiliar
I just wanna touch a familiar face
And make friends at the parties
I‘ve feared
The likes of an age
To be wanted with truth
And make formidable love
See light in my face
That I see inside everyone else

~The Deepest Sighs, The Frankes Shadows - Gangs Of Youth

I never heard silence
Ring out like a bell
I never heard silence like last night in my expensive hotel
Well I‘m loving a shadow, I‘m trying to catch the rain
But I never heard silence, ‘til I heard it today

~Travelling alone, Passenger

Let Everything happen to you
Beauty and Terror
One must only keep going
No Feeling is final

Nearby is the land
That they call life

You will know it
by its graveness

Give me your hand

~Rainer Maria Wilke (The Book of Hours)

Welcome to a thread of some of my all-time favorite performances in film and TV:

Let‘s start with the one that has been haunting me for years it‘s so good!

Thomasin McKenzie as Tom in Leave No Trace (2018) directed by Debra Granik.

Original:

Irgendwann ist es zu spät
Um zu früh drauf zu gehen
Irgendwann bin ich zu alt
Zu alt um jung zu sterben
Doch ich hab’s versucht
Ich hab’s wirklich versucht
Ich hab’s versucht
Glaub mir, ich hab’s versucht
Doch vielleicht nicht gut genug

Sometime it’s too late
To pass too early
Sometime I’m too old
Too old to die young
But I have tried
I really have tried
I’ve tried, believe me I’ve tried
Just maybe not enough

Translated into english from: “Der Rest meines Lebens” (The Remainder of my Life) by german artist Kummer.

Fall apart
It all fell apart
Except for this piece
You left in my heart
And I hang on to it
Everyday

~Sparks, Alex Clare

Well, my Christmas has been going great so far

5) Jojo Rabbit (2019)

Directed by Taika Waititi

When I have fears that I may cease to be

~ John Keats

This quote describes perfectly my experience when listening to The Ocean at the End of the Lane and (spoileralarm!) the kitten gets killed.

Hearts were definitely broken (and I almost crashed my car because I was crying so hard)
