This discussion with Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Rian Johnson, and Nathan Johnson is fascinating and wide-ranging. They talk about their experiences growing up religious, politics, and countering companies that try to use AI to stifle filmmaking.

I’m rewatching The Sopranos. It’s great! But it also feels like a period piece much in the same way RENT is.

Everyone looks 10 years older than their age would suggest; and it’s remarkable how much everyone, everywhere, smokes. (I think there’s a connection.)

If you want to learn about Paris's Museum of Hunting and Nature, and why it's "Glauque (spooky or sinister), I'd love if you read my short blog post.

“Topsy-Turvy” (1999) is a wonderful Mike Leigh movie streaming on HBO Max, featuring Jim Broadbent of “GREAT BIG BUSHY BEARD!” fame.

Some wonderful quotes from @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social at the start of his new video.

“Despair is a lie, even if it’s a very convincing one.”

“I’m just 30 trillion cells trying to maintain homeostasis, which is hard work.”

I’m a few years late to it, but I dug “Bones and All.”

I speak to people in France in my broken French and they often reply to me in English. I guess my being American is obvious, but they seem to appreciate the effort. Oui oui.

I found this abandoned, half-drunk espresso and stubbed-out cigarette on the street in Paris.

I’m two years late, but I finally watched “All of Us Strangers.”

God damn. Andrew Haigh continues to be the king of melodrama (non-derogatory).
All of Us Strangers
One night in his near-empty tower block in contemporary London, Adam has a chance encounter with a mysterious neighbor Harry, which punctures the rhythm of his everyday life.
