Just got done with this John Sayles masterwork & I wonder if this had a heavy influence on Scorsese's KOTFM because it's so similar to it both in scope & themes of American capitalist greed and violence. Should have won a million Oscars but just like KOTFM it didn't win any.

I couldn't quite pinpoint why AWIAL's grainy textured aesthetic was so appealing. The more I think about it the more it feels like looking at an impressionistic painting on canvas from up close. Even the bleeding overexposed light in the end has a paint-like quality to it.

Funny she mentions the blue tarp here. She mentioned the same thing at MAMI but instead of "fancy buildings" she said Antilla (lol) and Anupama Chopra who was interviewing was ash white. She quickly muttered something to her and they moved on. This was just after Jio had pulled out of MAMI.

Rewatched The Irishman and I apologize profusely for not calling it the masterpiece that it is. Also, I think I'm in love with the way Scorsese chooses to end his newer films. Calm, like the gentle needle lift on a record player.

This instantly reminded me of the bone-chilling Red Rooms(2024), a film that perfectly portrays our almost gratifying obsession with macabre media online.

It's polling day tomorrow in Maharashtra and cannot help but feel a certain resignation, like it doesn't matter anymore. Will vote nevertheless.

HARD ❌

It was a queer, sultry summer, the summer they electrocuted the Rosenbergs, and I didn't know what I was doing in New York

EASY ✅

That summer was sizzling, and so were the Rosenbergs

Just had an endoscopy without sedation and i imagine this is what it feels like to be violently probed by a facehugger.

I get it now.
Some of these Emilia Perez reactions are almost vitriolic. Need to see what the fuss is about asap.

A great film.
Rarely do I share when I’m in a trailer, but I do love that I’m in the trailer for ON BECOMING A GUINEA FOWL (possibly the best film from this year’s Cannes).

Neo-noir, Carrie Coon, Shea Wigham? Holy shit I'm so seated.
Hmm. If Whigham is one half of the new incarnation of Ebert's old "no movie featuring either Harry Dean Stanton or M. Emmet Walsh in a supporting role can be altogether bad" rule, then who is the other half? Or should we just assume that Lake George will be so great it's now the Whigham/Coon Rule?
