Nothing against Bogart,
but Dick Powell is my favorite film incarnation of Philip Marlowe. He's not archetypal. He's just a guy--smart and tough and a bastard, but funny. He only played him once, in Farewell, My Lovely, my favorite screen adaptation of Raymond Chandler, and maybe a perfect movie.

[MCCABE & MRS. MILLER] Everything is in motion, and yet there is a stillness about the film, as if every element in it were conspiring to tell the same incredibly sad story: that the characters are lost in their separate dreams. (1971)

Oh boy it’s Spotify wrapped day. Time to revel in the truly deranged number of times I listened to the corny 40s standard from The Brutalist

Got a promotion…that’s right I will be attending as many as two or even three PUPPET SHOWS
Job needs to give me more money. I have to move and, more importantly, sales start next week for the puppet festival

Sentimental Value was pretty inert but man Anders Danielsen Lie is handsome. I can’t believe he spends most of his life being a doctor. Imagine if he was your doctor

these epstein emails are pretty damning. i sure hope that we haven't spent the last couple years in a cultural backslide where men are seemingly allowed to openly and gleefully fantasize about dominating young women without any threat of reproach

Terrific news, the made-for-me movie is perfect
I knew Kelly Reichardt’s new movie was about Josh O’Connor stealing art, but I just learned it’s about him stealing, specifically, Arthur Dove paintings? In my *life* nothing has ever been more made for me. Heist those circles!
