Sorry for your loss, Harry.

Though I’d previously seen Basquiat, it was Wright’s charismatic performance in Nichols’ Angels In America that made me want to follow his career. And the fact that he appears to be a decent person … well, what to say!

I know this is a simplistic way to frame events like this, but I do hope that other institutions/countries are picking up the slack/taking advantage of the Trump US brain drain. Of course, it would be better if a ‘we’re all in this together’ approach was applied.

There’s also 120 years of movie culture to draw upon.

Between diffusion models and LLMs, tech has inflated a trillion dollar bubble around automating activities that have immense social and cultural capital—writing, art, photography—but little actual capital. It’s harmful to education, culture, and society with minimal overall benefit

My go-to as all-time fav. Jesus, does it balance tones expertly.

Damn sexy, too.

David, only just saw this. Wish you the best and good luck.

Looks like something from the movie ’Miracle Mile’.

Julie Christie, though not sure how long ago her last film was.

Luck bastard (not jealous)
