Get his ass, queen
Text from a letter written by the Russian composer Galina Ustvolskaya: “I am writing these notes to finally assert the TRUTH about my relations with Dmitri Shostakovich. To state the TRUTH about Shostakovich himself as a composer and a person. I am not writing anything in detail. Details could have far-reaching consequences. It is high time to move on from the steadfast, stupid point of view on Shostakovich. On my part I would like to say the following: never once during the years, even during my studies at the Conservatory which I spent in his class, was Shostakovich’s music close to me. Nor was his personality. I would be even more candid: I bluntly refused to accept his music, as in the following years. Unfortunately, Shostakovich’s personality only deepened my negative attitude towards him. I do not feel it necessary to further dwell on the subject. One thing remains clear: it would seem that such an outstanding figure as Shostakovich was not outstanding to me. On the contrary, it was painful and killed my best feelings. I begged God to give me strength to create and now too I ask God the same. Galina Ustvolskaya St. Petersburg, 1 January 1994”

My Letterboxd review of Mulholland Drive (Lynch, 2001). Five stars. “Started sobbing during the Club Silencio scene. RIP David Lynch. Thank you for the impact your art has had and will continue to have on my life.”

David Lynch is one of the most important artistic presences in my life. His work has helped me understand the un-understandable and express the inexpressible. Not really doing it justice, but can’t really find the words. RIP David

I’m fun to be friends with :D
A text exchange. The first text, sent from me to a friend, at 9:27 pm last night: “The amount of blood Willem Dafoe’s massive cock can hold could feed a Dracula for 30 days and 30 nights” There is no response from my friend. The second text, from me at 8:51 am this morning, a reply to the original text: “You’re a coward for ignoring this” There is no response.

This movie sounds totally fucking bonkers. Klaus Kinski, Oliver Reed, and Sterling Hayden trapped in a house with a snake. That’s the movie. #NowWatching
