Twin Peaks season 3 is the only "reboot" ever made that bothered to address the awkward questions of nostalgia, age, and death that other reboots attempt to sidestep: you can't go home again, Lynch insists, and it's insane that you think you should

Sad to hear about David Lynch. Thinking about this little passage he wrote

[Glenn Kenny @Glenn__Kenny]

Some “Megalopolis” reactions imply that Coppola has somehow turned stupid. The movie is subtitled “A Fable.” That’s not just for show. That explains the stylized dialogue for one thing. Coppola can write naturalistic dialogue if he likes — you may remember “The Conversation?”

When people say ‘surreal’ they mean ‘real,’ it’s just most of your life is not very real, just repetition and routine.

Binging directors, authors or actors can yield mixed results. Better to take time and savor.

@DannyDrinksWine In Kesey's novel there's an important part in which McMurphy tears off Ratched's uniform and exposes her breasts, symbolizing her masculinity being stripped away. I assume this was probably done in relation to that.

Reading deeply and widely for many hours a day is the only way to become educated in an academic field. There are no shortcuts to this. If our students cannot read more than 100 pages per day or focus for more than 20 minutes at a time, they are never going to be educated.

"The ability to play chess is the sign of a gentleman. The ability to play chess well is the sign of a wasted life."

Paul Morphy once said this, maybe the best chess player in the world in the 1850s, and it's always stuck with me, I haven't been able to shake it

dostoevsky on losing his first child. gut wrenching. not surprised he produced his greatest work afterward. saw through humanity like glass. pain cracked him open. poured genius out.

Yeah watching classics in 1080 with digital artifacting is much closer to how filmmakers intended their films to be seen

David Foster Wallace: "I have intelligent friends, who don't like to read. They get - it's not just bored - there's an almost dread that comes up about having to be alone and having to be quiet.

It seems significant that we don't want things to be quiet ever anymore."

another though less extreme case of this is bob dylan. at a certain point he just stopped giving a fuck, and that point just so happened to coincide w/ the exact moment that he was becoming a rock star and accruing massive wealth. chomsky has some interesting commentary on that:
